That burl wood is beautiful! Very nice!
Here's a PH2 with the stock diamond wood scales and a Queen drop point with redwood burl handle scales.

That Redwood Burl looks on fire.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thanks Tank. Queen calls it golden redwood burl, if I remember correctly.
Call me cheap but this is an example of the handiest little fixed bade I've ever carried. I've had a few of 'em down through the years and they have always taken a lickin' and kept on tickin'. I can only remember destroying one (broke the blade using it as a pry-bar....my bad), all of the others were lost or stolen at some point. I still have a couple that I carry but I'm keepin' this one mint in the box for posterity!

Can't go wrong with a Sharpfinger. I would like one piggybacked on a 15OT.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Here are a couple I picked up over the last week.....

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Here is one that came to me this weekend:A Lamson & Goodnow clip point with fish scaler spine in unsharpened condition.The clip is actually sharp as well.Some staining on the blade and a few flat spots on the edge;five rivets holding the scales in place.Took a stone to it to clean up the flat spots and now it is scary sharp.Fits great in a USA made sheath I bought for less than a dollar(14 sheathes for $12).The knife was a bargain too:$3.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Looks good! I think I see a trend, there.... . I like the magnets also; I can change the display out any time. I slip a little tag of paper behind any pristine blades so they don't get scratched. Good job!

This is a Camillus 152 pattern customized By Dale at ORVET'S Blades & Customs that I picked up in the AAPK stores. He did a fine job too!

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Nice knife, Charlie.. Dale does great work.
I've sold and traded a few to pick up a few.
First a Bark River Boone: The Bark River Boone is part of Bark River Knvies’ Traditional series of knives. This pattern is based on the American Classics that started in the very late 1800s and were the most common style of knife all the way into the 1970s.This Pattern is rooted in the Sheffield - Wade & Butcher knives that were made for sale for the American Market - and actually was the inspiration for the U.S.M.C. Utility/Fighting Knife of W.W.II.
Specs:Overall Length: 9.125 Inches
Blade Length: 5 Inches
Blade Thickness: .187 Inch
Blade Steel: A-2 @ 58-60 rc
Handle: Stacked Leather
The second is a Bark River Hudson Bay II: The Hudson Bay Camp Knife was the first knife in history to actually be called a ’Camp Knife’. The knife design dates back to the pre-Colonial days of the 1700s. The Hudson Bay Trading Company was the dominant import/export company of early North America. The Colonials, Frontiersmen and Trappers began to ask the Trading Company for a larger knife to be used in base camp for general camp use. They wanted a heavy knife that would slice and chop in the place of a cleaver or an ax.
This was the original pattern that was developed and sold for over a hundred years as the ’Original Camp Knife of North America’
Specs are:Overall Length: 14.63 Inches
Blade Length: 9 Inches
Blade Steel: A-2 @ 58-60rc
Blade Thickness: .200 Inch
Weight: 18 Ounces
Handle: Dark Curly Maple w/ Red Liners

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Beautiful knives here everyone. I want one of everything!
I just wanted to show this Marbles Ideal I just picked up.
Other than a camp/scout type folder, this is my only other Marbles product.
It claims 1095 steel from Marbles original stock and made in the USA according to vendor.
I must say I'm much impressed with it. Feels great in hand. I believe the handle is Kraton rubber type.
I am eyeing the Woodsman and Plainsman for the future when I can afford them.
I wish I could find an affordable stacked leather original of these wonderful knives but imo this knive is pretty good for $39.32 delivered.
Does anybody have any experience with these newer, made in USA models?
Thanks for looking, Harold [producer]

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I have two. They seem to be high quality, well made knives. The knives are fine but the pictures stink. (without looking, I'm pretty sure I posted them early in this thread. Please forgive the re-post)
A Fieldcraft Gamegetter with Micarta handle.
And a Woodcraft with Birdseye Maple handle.
