Show off your fixed blades!

[Old Hunter]

My latest, a pre-86 Buck 118 I got this past Friday. OH

[gino]

OH, that Buck is sweet! And mint too!

[WelderBob]

A pair of knives I recently bought came with inadequate sheath's, thank's to Philco I found a sheath maker and now these boy's are ready to go...

A custom by James Largent...4 1/4" blade with amber bone handle's.

My latest GEC group together

[WelderBob]

That's a nice line up Gino... ...the blade on the bottom knife remind's me of the Marbles Woodcraft pattern.

Forgot about this one

[gringo]

Forgot about this one

can we see a close up on that knife? the scales?
any tang stamp?

[shugy]

Hi gringo, there are no tang stamps and the scales look like they were leather at one time, now just leather residue left on steel which looks like it was "jigged " for lack of a better term ::shrug::Possibly to give the leather better adhesion?

Here's a few more:

Bart Moore Bowie(repro)
3Belt buckle knives;2 Bowen and an unmarked one.
Buck 121
Bowie by Carvel Hall
Chinese made bowie
Chinese(or Japanese)knife;not sure of it's purpose.Spine is soft and edge is hammerwelded to it.
Colonial Hammer Brand
Craftsman with bear(?)head pommel
Double edge deer foot knife from France.
Hubertus dagger;blade is about 12" long.

[tongueriver]

That Craftsman is a 1950s Schrade Walden. The bear head (not to be confused with bare-head) was a company joke on the president and owner, Albert Baer. I see bare-head jacks often listed as "bear head." haha.

Bought this last month from Knife Art. Made in Arkansas of D2 steel with black micarta handles. I believe it was made in the Dozier shop.

Well, look who popped his head up. Good to "see" you Jim. Hope you're doing well.

[Quick Steel]

This knife was made by Michael O'Machearly in memory of his son who, along with others, died in a Chinook crash in the early days of Afganistan.

[Forensic Jim]

Thanks Jerry! I still buy an occasional knife and have been leaning towards tacticals and fixed blades. Once you get knife fever in your blood you can never stop being drawn to knives.

[tjmurphy]

This one is for my old friend JerryD. He's always liked and appreciated this Canal Street pattern. Though it is a little unusual and quirky, it is one big hunk of quality stainless steel. Canal Street "Carry the Football".

[jerryd6818]

I don't recall expressing admiration for that "knife" but I'm glad you posted it T.J. Your hand puts it into perspective. You must have had a momentary loss in sanity when you bought it but it sure is... uh... different.

MB:That is a beautiful Puma Bowie! The sheath looks to be correct for it as far as I can tell.The early Puma sheaths all had that squared-off shape to them.That piece of rawhide to hold the blade in can be a PITA to use but really works.The blackening where the guard rubs on the sheath is typical(virtually all of mine have it)and shouldn't really be a distraction.
Last one I saw for sale was a commemorative model and I passed on it because the guy wanted $450 for it and that was 20 years ago.
