Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Tony, Now there is a handsome Bowie. Who made it? And do you know what kind of wood was used for the handle?

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Tony, Very nice Bowie and good choice of handle wood. How long have you been making knives? I hope you post more, and do you make your own sheaths? Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Had this made for me, awhile ago.
Saw an ad in well known magazine and the maker happened to live nearby. This is in the 80's, I think
Anyway I told him what I wanted, at that time in my life, and this is what I got.
Tough and very sharp.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
That is a neat knife and sheath combo. I like it a lot. Do you use the knife for anything?

I used it frequently, slicing a large "x" in burlap to inspect contents.
Also carried surveying along with an Ontario 12" cutlass.
Nowadays I can't carry it to work, but it goes on the trail with the dog.
ps I had the handle formed to my hand.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I picked these to up today at my favorite junk shop. The dagger is a Gerber Guardian designed by Loveless, and the second is a Scandinavian hunting knife with stacked leather and reindeer horn handle. I got the pair for $100.____Dave

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
This was also posted in the Speyderco thread. The late Bob Lum had a very recognizable style which Speyderco capitalized on with several pocket knife editions as well as fixed blades.
And then a custom job.-

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Just finished this one up, 1095 blade, brass guard, red, black micarta spacer and brass. the handle is dyed mule deer antler. If you don't like big knives , no need to look any further, it has a 5 1/2" blade and is about 10 3/4" overall. Also took a lot of leather to make the pouch style sheath. Terry

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thanks Tony, I've never heard that term for that style of sheath before, learn something everyday here on AAPK, Terry

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Very classy, Terry! Do you think the mule deer antlers have as good a density/integrity as some of the other antler material? We know that Sambar is premium. Ruana uses elk but only a certain part close to the skull, blah blah...
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Cal, mule deer and white tail are not bad as far as density and the outside of the mature elk antler isn't bad either, but my favorite is of course sambar stag, but hard to come by now. If the deer or elk is dyed the right color it can almost look like stag. Terrytongueriver wrote:Very classy, Terry!

Chris Reeve became justly famous for his fixed blades before he dominated the world of contemporary pocket knives.
