Show off your fixed blades!

[shugy]

thanks Gino from what I've seen around here you've assembled a pretty nice collection! Or is that affliction

[jerryd6818]

Is that what the mystery knife is? seems kinda large for a cockpit knife? the interesting part is it had a wood handle.

Yes, that's what the "Mystery Knife" is/was. They're quite the collectible in some circles. I never cared much for them but that's just me. I have one only to have one.

Here's a little information on them to get you started if you're interested. If not...

You're welcome California guy.

BTW I used to work for a company that was based in Sunnyvale and got out to the Bay area frequently. I went north quite a few times but never got south of Santa Cruz. Now I wish I had.

[Sasquach]

That's a varied and interesting line up there Knife7knut! Some real lookers there. Thanks for showin' 'em.

[jerryd6818]

Ahhh Bob. Love those Randalls


Ray -- That's quite a pile of fixed blades you have there but I'm not seeing a Fairbairn Sykes. What's up with that?

[Sanders Knives]

Here are a few of my Randall's. Sorry about the lazy pics with the blades covered. I will try to and get better pics of them (and the others) sometime and share.

Jerry:Believe it or not I don't own one! I do have a Pakistani copy I bought a few years ago for a buck or two.I'm not much of a military knife collector although I do have a few.A good friend of mine used to be a big time military collector and would buy entire collections just to gat a couple of knives he wanted.He would then sell off the remaining ones at a local flea market,but would always call me and give me first pick. I in turn would offer him military stuff if I came upon it.Worked out well for both of us.
Here's a few of mine:
An M1 bayonet dated 1943.I had it chrome plated years ago by a friend who worked in a plating shop.
An unknown bayonet given to me by my brother.It's marked but I never researched it to find out it's country of origin.
A Case V42 repro(early).
A German fireman's knife.Looks like a bayonet but no barrel lug.
The handle of a Horstmann Bros. officer's dress sword picked up at a junk shop for $40/Really nice shape with scabbard and accessories.
A German SA dagger given to me by a good friend whose dad brought it back home after WWII.
A Signal Corps kit with 4 line Camillus TL-29.
A USN Mk1
A USN Mk2
An M3 bayonet.

I agree with Junebug, there are some mighty fine knives being shown here!

Here is a pic of my LONG knives. I threw in some shorter knives for scale. The crown stag bowie, second from the top, is 15 1/2" OAL. I collect mostly folders so this is the last of my fixed blade knives..................until the postman brings my latest order. Have one new fixed blade coming.

[gino]

My GEC fixed blades with my latest ELK handled - Man I love these things!

I snagged this Case xx leather handled FB also

[jerryd6818]

Gino -- The Case FB, is that a Finn? It looks pretty small. I've always had a bit of a Jones for one of those cute little devils or one of the two knife sets. What do you think of it?

[gino]

Yeah it is Jerry, I didnt realize it was that smal when I bought it but its pretty cool

[junebug]

wow awesome guys!!!!
gino-very cool man .....i want one now!!..lololol
and isn't that the "mini finn" ???? looks smaller than finn ????
nice one eitherway



junebug

[gino]

I am not sure, I dont know a lot about fixed blades but IT IS SMALL, LOL

[jerryd6818]

Looked it up. The Case 372 TWIN FINN Hunter Two Knife Set consists of a 381 & 379. The 381 is a 316-5 with a 5" blade. The 379 is a M3FINN with a 3-1/8" blade (other sources say 3").

All those numbers are a bit confusing from my perspective.

[knife7knut]

Here it is;sorry I didn't line the blades up very well on the marks.Measured them and they are as stated.

[gino]

I checked mine out its a M3Finn

[On Edge]

Great showing fellas!

I am lovin' this thread …

(and now I want a little Finn too!) … who's got an addiction … ? …
