Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Here is a mixed bag; a Marbles I bought at SMKW in AUG 03, a knife my buddy Tom Morris made for me from junk steel out of an ancient saw blade, Western Black Beauty my folks gave me for Christmas in 1966, and a Western I bought in the mid-1990's when gut-hook knifes were all the rage (cleaned one deer with it and put it away).

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
There are just some outstanding straight knives being shown here. Colonel, that Buck Ranger Skinner gives me a bad case of the wanna's.
These USMC combat knives just about finish up my small pile of fixed blade knives.
Camillus Combat Knife -- Picked up at an Army Navy Surplus Store in the late '70s or early '80s (I wish my memory of when I acquired knives, was as good as the Colonel's )
Case USMC Combat Knife
Ontario USMC Combat Knife
Folders or fixed blades, one of my most cherished knives is this gift from T.J.Murphy. Thank you Tom. You'll never know how much this knife means to me.
KA-BAR -- USMC Viet Nam Commemorative
KA-BAR USMC Viet Nam Wall Commemorative
Plain KA-BAR USMC Combat Knife
KA-BAR short USMC Combat Knife. This is a very nice size knife.
KA-BAR -- United States Marine Corps 200th Birthday Commemorative Combat Knife
Last but definitely not least, my old Western L-39, I've shown here about a hundred times.
Oops. Almost forgot this little A.G. Russell hip pocket

Nice looking sheath Mark...and the knife is pretty darn nice also...
I call this one my buffalo skinner, about 8 1/2" of forged O1 by Bill Miller.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Jerry:It's a pre-1964 one and the way I acquired it is kind of interesting.BTW it does have it's original sheath and wooden box although the green sponge lining has long deteriorated.jerryd6818 wrote:Ray -- What years are your White Hunters? The top one looks pretty old from what I can see.
I was scanning a trader paper for guns and knives and came across an ad for a Colt Trooper(Model 28) for sale for $250.Along with the Trooper the seller had noted that a Puma knife went along with the deal.
I called and made arrangements to see the items.The Trooper was an old State Police weapon with holster and in reasonable shape.The Puma was still in the box and looked to have never been used or sharpened! I bought them without dickering on the price and he even threw in an old bolt action .22 rifle as well!
Long story short: I sold the Trooper for $250 to a friend and gave the .22 to another friend for his 12 year old son so the Puma was essentially FREE!
Sadly some moisture somehow got into one of my knife boxes and the Puma has a rust spot on the blade about the size of a dime. Still a nice knife though. I'll post a few more shortly.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
That's quite a pile you have Ray, but then from you, I would have expected nothing less. That Western Black Beauty set is... well... a set of real beauties. I guess they will suffice for the Finn set I kept looking for.
