Cutco 1769

Knice! Those Cutco knives enjoy a robust following; my Wife even has some. The shears are great. I have always favored that type of sheath. Ruana and Buck have used them as well.

A Marbles.

Nice! I have never seen one like that! ?

I too had never seen one like that, tongueriver. And that was why I picked it up.

No tang stamp?

Ken, the Marbles logo is on the tang on the other side. This knife was done for Ducks Unlimited.

Here is another Marbles. I like the blade shape particularly. I also consider the lower guard as used here to be ideal both for its practicality and beauty.

Perfect combo of wood and steel, QS!

Thankyou John and TMK. Always appreciate your comments

A ESEE Izula 2 in green and marcata.

Spyderco Mule Team 35, CPM-Magnacut.

CPM-Magnacut was designed by Larrin Thomas to be a very balanced steel specifically for knives. I became really interested in Magnacut as a work knife steel, as it was very tough, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant at the same time. So, naturally, I had to buy the first (well, semi-) mass-produced knife produced in it. A Native 5 in Magnacut is coming up later this year, and I plan to purchase it.

I hadn't carried it at all, and at $75, it has cost more than any other knife in my collection. It had been parked as I had no good way to carry it. The handles and sheath Spyderco produces together cost double (and as of a recent price increase, actually $10 more) the cost of the knife itself. I decided to change that, as it was bought for a work knife; not a shelf queen.

I had this "Chipaway Cutlery" knife in my collection I'd been given by a relative. It was a POS, but the sheath fit the Mule Team perfectly. I took out the belt loop, as it wasn't on good, and the knife is pocketable in jeans. I will probably pick up a better one for belt carry from my local knife store or online.

Looks like the sheath is going to be a very practical application.

I picked this small knife a couple months ago and I'm very happy with it. I would describe it as delightful to handle.
It's a Briza "Necker 70" with Ivory micarta scales. Not sure if I have posted photos before.

Cool little skinner Ken! I've not seen it posted prior to now!

Good looking knife Ken.

Thanks guys.

CS Bush Ranger. Shown before but it is my favorite outdoor knife.

That's a solid looking bowie Garry! Show it as often as you like!

I can see why Garry.

Thank you Marco and John. The current Bush Ranger is an entirely different knife. The blade on mine is 7 1/2". I follow the philosophy of the late Bowie master Bill Bagwell that a true Bowie will have a minimum blade length of 9 1/4". At that length the laws of physics provide some remarkable advantages.

Interesting!

Marco, if you care to pursue this I recommend Bagwell's "Bowies, Big Knives and the best of Battle Blades."
