Show off your fixed blades!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Some SRKs from Cold Steel. Good usable knives and not too expensive for the quality you get. My buddy MTC, lived in Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, and Montana and loved the older Carbon V models for outdoor carry. A strong thick blade makes this model a real work horse. I have found some older used ones for sale for around $100. I think that's a good value for a SRK knife.

Nice bunch. I was looking at a Taiwan made of this model on ebay for $39. Do they even compare to these or are like most low end copies? Looks like a comfy handle.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I have one similar to the one in the link you posted. It's a good knife, similar to the Gerber Strongarm. The SRK has a 6" blade, and the SRK-C is a 5" blade.Ivoryman wrote: ↑Fri Sep 22, 2023 1:03 am Nice bunch. I was looking at a Taiwan made of this model on ebay for $39.

Thanks a lot Ken, great side by side. Looks like a more comfy handle than the Gerber too. Appreciate the illustration and have a good one.

I like the cross-cut handle, I have a few with that kind of handle.
It really must be your favorite, it's rare that you post more than 1 picture!

A whole bunch of great fixed blades!

Joseph Rogers & Son skinner, very upswept blade and finger groove handle, I guess they thought thats what we Americans liked !
Well made and stout knife just don't think I'd like trying to skin something with it...

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Bob!
As soon as I saw your skinner it immediately reminded me of the CRKT "Ritual" Persian folding knife, the 2 knives could be brothers.
I'd have included a picture, but I don't know how to do that.
It also crossed my mind how difficult it would be to skin anything with your knife, but it does look well used.

Ken, the CS SRK is a classic. And I suppose the SRKc is a compact classic. In either case, they are fine knives.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thank you Bob and Ken for your comments.
Ken, this Bowie was made by Hen & Rooster/ Solingen, Germany. The knife is weighted towards the blade which is typical of this style.
Excellent chopper.
