GardenGram, I suspect your vegetables actually enjoy being cut by such a handsome knife.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
A jewel.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Isn't mine, but a cousin carried this WESTERN USA as his scout knife in the 70's and showed it off to me. I was very impressed, excellent knife to me, great size and wood grain and stacked pieces in the handle, and a sweet blade with great patina. With some care this baby should last centuries.

Paul, what is the stag folder in your photo? I have one very similar that was brought to this country by an Israeli immigrant of German extraction in the '50s. The tang stamp reads OLIVETTO but I have never been able to find any info on the cutler.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
This bad boy is ready for the most recalcitrant dandelion or dismembering marmots. Better (I think) as a collectible. It is very large and heavy. It was marketed as an 1861 Bowie. Doug Webber posted two different examples sometime back before he passed away, and that alerted me to their existence. Yes, it was made by Schrade, but there were some later ones made overseas for AG Russell as well. They were not as good (LOL). The blade is hollow ground, but the sabre-ground top section is not quite what you think; that section is ALSO hollow-ground! Even so it is still a heavy whacker. I wish it came with the sheath. It did not but I will post Doug's image of the proper sheath. The handle on this one is micarta, but apparently there were other materials, including ironwood and some kind of stabilized burl. I disremember the steel.

Picked up this 1960's Randall number 3 with original sheath, stone and a 6 inch blade last week, I bought one in the 90's from the factory but no longer have it. So I decided to get another one and I like the older knives, so -----! It's only money right? This one cost about twice what the other one cost me. Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
