Let's Talk Knives

like I said, just go to the Chinese outlet store

 

Of course not! Use every single thing that you can to help your work!

 

I really like the shape and style of this piece. It looks comfortable to use and it’s great looking!

 

Snagged me a "giant" watermelon knife. A #13. Bigger than my dog. Ha!

 

Nice sword Matt!

 

Got my no 2 "olive" slicing knife...heh

 

This is a New Zealand made Svord peasant knife. They also make a quite large version. Very large. Inexpensive, but has a kuul factor.

 

Thank you buddy. Doing the gut hook was a little tricky to get it even but I got it without screwing it up too many times. Ha ha ha

 

I like the shape of it!! I'll have to look at those. Thanks for showing us!! I've never seen those!!

 

Those are so cool!!

 

Now THAT'S A NOYF!!

 

Quite nice!

 

Totally cool! (And maybe a little bit ridiculous?)

 

…because size matters!

 

Definitely a gimmick knife and totally ridiculous, although humans can be very resourceful. Ha

 

Knife? That's not a knife.
I got a email ad for this today, no, I won't be getting one.

That looks like a Klingon weapon from some other planet…

I definitely would put it in the category of “fantasy knives”.

Guess it’s a glorified cleaver.

This is a modified cleaver that I made for Tom @ToyoMafia

 

Kuul. Yep, like a Klingon.

 

I snagged a Gerber Strongarm Camp knife. Actually made in Oregon! I was raised in Oregon starting at 10 years old after my dad retired from the USMC. 1965. Everything Gerber made back then was made in Orygun DUCK land then. Over the years I'd see Gerber goodies at various sporting goods stores. Engineered and Designed in Orygun but...made in China. SMH. Apparently the USA made Strongarm series is quite the thing now. Custom versions going for $400. This Camp version was $90. 420 HC steel. Not hi grade knife steel, but the high carbon content makes it great for a camp knife. Holds an edge and easy to spiff up. Very affordable for a decent USA knife!

 

Finished today Mosaic Damascus and stabilized box elder scales. Cutting edge is just shy of 10”

 

Beautiful knife Ray!

 

Picked up this nice Bacher double sided honing strop. Made in Poland. $26

 

That’s a good price!

 

I think these might be some of the coolest scales i have ever seen.

Those are truly amazing!

 

I have enjoyed doing epoxy casting but haven’t tried casting honey comb yet! That’s quite the process he went through.

Is that a type of cactus from the Arizona area? I only ask because my mom and dad had a piece of that i would play with and get yelled at when I was growing up. I had not thought about that in 40 years.

 

Yep, that’s cholla cactus skeleton, from Tucson Arizona. Stabilized, dyed and cast in epoxy.
