Let's Talk Knives

I recognize that knife!

 

Did you make or buy that knife block?

 

Bought, I think on Amazon.

 

This is it.

thank you!

 

Yep, I thought you might! lol

 

inspired by a style of Japanese fillet knife.
Handle is Oregon white oak with some red dye added when it was stabilized

 

I like this.

 

I also like this one. You are doing good work Ray.

 

I have another mini cleaver identical to this that I have not posted yet because I’m working on a special project for the sheath. The artist who has been doing my kydex is working on a plan to transfer the pattern of the Damascus onto the kydex sheath.The photo is in the upper left. He has ordered some special equipment for the project. I’m pretty excited to see if it can be done!

 

Glad to see the mini cleaver become a thing.

 

That is too sexy....

 

I made sure that he knew that nobody ever bought a knife because of the sheath and he is pursuing the project as an R&D test. But, if he does work it out, it will be pretty exciting for us both!

 

So glad to be here for the ride!

 

I have or previously had a couple of these! Are they recent acquisitions? Or part of your collection?

 

The 301 is a recent addition, a gift from a friend. It dates to the early 80s I think with that tang stamp.

The Marksman is the current (08/25) Buck of the Month which I just bought a couple weeks ago.

I always regretted not buying one from the brief production run years back, so I jumped at the chance to get a new one.


The second picture in my post is a knife I designed and a custom maker (JK Handmade Knives) made for me to my specification.
It is a "modern Bowie". It was made in the mid-2000s.

The third picture is an early Buckmaster from 1984 shown with a ZT0006 from last year.

The last picture is a ZT0620, Zero Tolerance / Emerson collaboration. These are dicontinued and were produced about 10 years ago.

 

Free spyderco military 2. Won it on there Instagram page. Does 3 make it a set. I like the crucarta spyderco knives.

 

Nice!!

Congratulations on the win!

I am a fan of Spyderco knives, and Sal and his people have been very friendly over the years.
The Military is a standout in their model line.

 

2 is a couple
3 is a few
4 is a set
5 is a collection

 

I decided to join the fun with a Knafs Lander 1. G10 scales/D2 steel. $45. Interchangeable scales. Ben Petersen from BladeHQ started this kuul company. For those with a 3D printer, you can download and print your own scales!
The knife came with a freebie waterproof knife poster that sells for $20. Kuul beans.

 

Like the knife! Great poster too

 

Hi Ray! You must be out now? Yeah, a very kuul poster. Pretty big once you unfold it.

 

Yeah, I’m home and now I get to eat a fist full of meds everyday, gotta change my diet a bit too. Less drinking and less salt, mostly

 

Glad you're home.

 

Thank you, my friend!

 

I did this kick starter a few weeks ago as I have always loved the thought of a multi tool I could just never carry one due to the bulk and the fact that the blades are always an after thought and sub par. I'm pretty excited about this one though hopefully it doesn't end up in the junk drawer with the other multi tools.

The Smith Blade (21-in-1 Titanium Multi-Tool) by Hacksmith Industries — Kickstarter https://share.google/Et3wXRWpGzUNJOzKY

 

Was there a picture coming?

 

The link didn't wanna work right. Also the hacksmith sight is really cool these guys build some really bad ass stuff. They take movie concept stuff and make it actually work some really fun stuff these guys do.

 

Couple of my favorites.
Used scrap piece of buckskin to make a shoulder strap.
