I know it's not a knife that most folks carry on a daily basis but they sure are "purty' to me...

Anybody care to share a few of what they have sitting in their knife drawer...

I'll start the show with my latest delivery's...

Northwoods Pre-Ban Ivory & Faux Tortoise..

Well, it is ONE of my favorite patterns to customize. These are all customized. I have some Canal Street Cutlery, couple Case Cheetahs, and Bulldogs.

Here are the Bulldog Customs.

I don't know if I ever posted these Bulldog Swing Guard Prototypes before. So here are the whole set of proto's.

Some excellent handle materials on these.

You guys are showing some gorgeous knives-great show.
Here's a USA MARBLE'S that went through AG RUSSELL's custom shop. #66 of 100.
Has black micarta handles and is silky smooth. It is one of a few I own.

I like the swing guard pattern and all of those are really purdy! Here's a couple of big ones from MSA Marbles. If one of these blades snap on your finger, you're going to the hospital.

Wow, very impressive gents, impressive indeed...I really like that Hunters Pride Paladin...

Here's a few from my collection:

Buck Creek swing guard(the one that the liners cracked from the deteriorating celluloid .The handles still look good).
Hubertus large folder.
Italian swing guard;not new:I've owned this one for over 30 years.
Parker Stag swing guard.
Puma Medici swing guard circa 1980
A very small Rizzuto swing guard,
A Robeson "Frozen Heat"swing guard.The scale on the opposite side completely deteriorated but the mark side was un-touched!
An unmarked swing guard(very cheap but it was only $5 on e-Bay).

Beautiful examples folks! Sunburst those Case/Bose swing guards are IMPRESSIVE, as are Hukk's customs

, as are all the others, old and new. Man I love these threads!
Here are a few some of you may have seen already. They're all Canal Street Cuts- stag, ram's horn, and a Giraffe bone front and back:
