I have an attraction for small fixed blade knives. Most of mine are cheapies but they have a certain mystique. (to me)

I've only got 1, this Parker Bros. boot knife. I used to sell a ton of these at gunshows back in the day.

Cold Steel Spike. Kind of a pig sticker and not really small but it could be used as a boot knife I suppose.

I made this boot knife for one of the custom combiners who stayed behind our place a couple of years ago, he wanted one to attach to his boot. O-1 and canvas micarta. Terry

A little further down on this forum is a thread I started awhile back on small knives for those that may be interested

Re: Lets see those boot, bosom, neck knives.
Picked up this little cutie at a live auction today. Nice aged ivory micarta scales that have been scrimshawed. 6 1/2" overall with a 2 3/4" blade. Signed Lappin, USA. I am not familiar with the maker but it is a nice little knife.

Re: Lets see those boot, bosom, neck knives.
Rick, I also have one of those Cold Steel Spikes. Nifty little knife and if my stomach was as flat as it was for the first 50 years of my life I could hang it around my neck beneath my t-shirt. Sadly that is no longer the case. I also have a CRKT 2385 Folts Mimimalist that was a gift from someone. Generous giver, please remind me so I can record it like I should have done in the first place. This baby is also a slick motor scooter and is coveted by my two best friends.Railsplitter wrote:Cold Steel Spike.

Re: Lets see those boot, bosom, neck knives.
One I wish I still had and I kick myself for trading it was the Gerber Frisco Shiv, which was designed by Blackie Collins. Remember that one? I carried it on a neck cord and it had a release button on the handle to unlatch it from the hard plastic molded sheath. But then like Jerry said, I would not be able to carry it on a neck cord now like I used to. LOL

Re: Lets see those boot, bosom, neck knives.
I also have an affection for small fixed blade boot knives. To me, the biggest problem with a lot of knives of this type is that the handle is too heavy for a balanced knife and too heavy to carry in my boot. Here are four of mine. The Parker on the left was my first boot knife and I did carry it some and the handle is way to heavy. Next to the Parker is a Cold Steel interpretion of the Scottish Skean Dhu. It is the best designed boot knife that I have ever come across, perfect size and weight, with a sheath that is just as practical as the knife. Third from the left is a small kukri that I got from
Atlanta Cutlery. Probably made by Windlass Steelcrafts in India, though I am not certain. It was not sold as a boot knife but it is perfect, with a light weight horn handle that balances the blade and fits in a Wellington boot just right. The knife on the right is the most expensive of the four, it came from A G Russell. The knife is well made, but like the Parker, the handle is just too heavy for that knife. I want a knife to sit snug in my boot, not flop because the balance point is in the middle of the grip instead of at the guard.

Only daggers I own are M3s, this Aerial and a Boker repro. Not small enough to qualify here but big enough to REALLY do the job.
