Thanks guys, I designed this knife 3yrs ago , my friends company in Nepal make the blades for me out of 5160 spring steel, I make the sheaths and do the handles in different materials but mainly micarta with G10 liners , my favourite is Antler , it's got a scandi grind that I fine tune to a x cross scandi/convex , I also do a 90% spine towards the top of the spine to spark a ferro rod, this one in the pic is one of my own ZMK1'S

Very rugged looking knife, and sheath Paul. I'm very much enjoying viewing your builds, and I must say, not without a touch of jealousy for your skills. Really nice knives!

That's certainly an unusual little Karambit John! Looks like it'd do some serious slicing! I really like when someone isn't afraid to acquire something out of the ordinary, and you sure stepped up with that one! Very cool!

The boot knife on the right was a Blackie Collins design executed by Gerber. The left knife was designed by Bob Terzuola who has been called "the father of tactical knives." Made by Gryphon with VG-10 Steel.

Nice daggers Garry, and you know how I love me some daggers! Top-notch designers of those two! Really cool knives!
Thanks, John and Marc. The smaller knives I showed are indeed great value for the money!

The notable thing for me concerning the Gerber is that it was made before being taken over by Fiskars, which in my view means the quality was still very good. I think Fiskars let the quality down, at least initially. They may have greatly improved by now.
