These are ( from top) the first 3 knives i ordered from a custom maker to my specs some years ago.
He is out of business now.

For size comparison the 4th is a Russell Sting

They fit perfect on the front pocket,
mostly i carry this way

Those are interesting knives, Bigbore; they even have a big bore through their middle!

I've got this little Kabar boot knife when I bought a FN nickel plated 1908 vest pocket 25 ACP with MOP grip panels. It's the European version of the little Colt auto. Someone said shiny sells?

I like it!

This is an older Bob Levine custom Bowl Head Bowie miniature, Mastodon Ivory handles 3 1/2" overall.
Bob is one of the all time greats , a founding member of Alaska knife makers guild.

I mislabeled the Levine miniature I believe it's a Bow Head skinner.

Here's a couple that are marked but I haven't been able to id the who the maker actually is.
First is simply stamped DP. Second knife is marked Baskett while the sheath is marked Baker.

outkast,
I like the looks of the little one with the antler handle, it looks "comfortable".
What is the function of the notches in the knife marked Basskett? Surely it's not a wire stripper.

I think the maker's name is Gene Bassket and I'm not sure if he is still making knives. I can't see the sheath clearly but some knives were made with such a notch as to be used in conjunction with the sheath as a fulcrum to cut through barbed wire.Popular on survival knives and some bayonets if I recall correctly.

There are a lot of very nice knives shown here.
Here is a KA-Bar Kid's Knife that is a family knife.

jerryd, A year ago you posted a photo of an AJ Russell Woods Walker. If you have used it, how would you rate its cutting ability?

Good info I emailed Gene last night. He told me the knife was made in the mid 90s, Don Baker was the sheath maker. There were only 6-8 made. Price $300

Some real nice little antique gems on here -- nice one, Ray (Paladin) - -- and others look tough and very efficient for their size. All look unique and awesome.

Outkast, that little Baskett knife and Baker sheath, very nice!

I'm groovin' on Paladin's little KABAR. I don't know what defines "small" for this thread. I have this little Ruana sitting in a mailer 1000 miles from here which I will get to see when I get home in a month; it is 7.5 inches overall. I can't wait to kiss this knife, kiss my dog and kiss my WIFE.

A fine looking piece of cutlery there. I am guessing a 3 1/2 in. blade. I think anything up to 4 in. is small on a fixed blade. Not that it matters really.

Wow Ray, truly Great KABar knife !
Adog who made your pearl 'Ladies knife' ? custom ? vintage ? or ??
