All About Pocket Knives

I feel that's probably what my great-grandfather would have wanted. I need to get a photo of the 12" Dexter he used to cut entire sides of meat off a hog. That knife is a beast!

Speaking of "beasts," my L & I J White cleaver is 31 1/2 inches overall and just shy of 6 pounds. I have been wanting to get a bison license so that I have a chance to give it a try. On the other hand it could be available if someone else needs one.

You need to have good aim to use that big cleaver. The place you hit is where the cut is going to be. I could see ending up with a lot of stew meat and burger if i used it.

Very impressive Terry. That desert iron wood is phenomenal! Great craftsmanship in that one.

Thanks guys, a photo doesn't really do it justice. I'm amazed everytime I finished up a piece of ironwood. Terry

Your handle is spectacular.

Beautiful knife!

k7k, That is a very interesting assortment of fixed blades. I am particularly attracted to the Blacki Collins design for the Benchmade Ninja, the Kershaw and Pluma boot knives. Thanks for showing.

Uzbek Pchak made by our Eustace in Bulgaria. Thin slicy blade with some flex. Scanner does not show, but the blade is mirror-bright. It is in my kitchen now and waiting for a cabbage to make the wrong move.

Beautiful knives guys! Here is a Case Kodiak with stag handle. Both the knife and the sheath are mint. The handle on this one seems to have substantially more girth to it compared to others I have held..

That's pretty cool to have a knife by Benoit. Have you hunted with him? Understand he is a Remington pump man but could be wrong.

You are right Steve an old 760 man .A old timer I hunted with and Larry use to argue over the Rem vs Winchester while I hugged my Savage 99
