Beautiful and compact. Very nice!

Thanks Marco. This is a Bob Lum design and I am glad to have this copy. The original is currently selling for $3,500.

These are simply beautiful knives. Amazing job on these. The defensive knife or dagger is very interesting with the way you shaped the blade and the skull crusher pommel. What great stag you found to use on these. Amazing.Oledadsknives wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 3:18 pm Theses are a few of the fixed blades I’ve made over the years.

Garry, I am so envious. I recognized the design immediately when I saw this. This is a first for me too. Lum had some amazing designs. That is one to treasure.

A superb bunch of fixed blades, Garry! 
The one at the top of your most recent group photo looks like a Becker; am I correct?

Thank you Mark. Mr. Lum's too early passing was a real loss.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!

Dan, every one of those knives is a Becker.

Thanks sharpnshiny! That dagger I made with 3 leftover pieces of Damascus welded together. That pommel is threaded and the whole knife will come apart.

This group seems to have a jungle-military theme to them Garry, am I correct?
They all appear very solid wherever they came from.

I understand your impression Marco. Mr. Becker's designs were not explicitly for military purposes tho they could serve in those functions. Primarily, they were for camping and general outdoor purposes. They have something of a cult following. They are very rugged and highly effective patterns. Ethan Becker was a life-long outdoorsman. Today his knives are made by Ka-Bar in their NY plant.

Thanks, Garry! Someday there will be a Becker riding on my hip.
I like that one, Jimbo!Oledadsknives wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 7:26 pm That dagger I made with 3 leftover pieces of Damascus welded together.

Thanks Dan! Thats the 1st one most people like. My grandson in the marines told me when he was in high school he wants that one. He will get it for sure.Dan In MI wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 2:40 pmThanks, Garry! Someday there will be a Becker riding on my hip.

Very stout looking fixer, Iman.
Nice!

Marco, what you are seeing in IMan's photo are Becker/KaBars. There is a range of colorful handle scales that many use to dress up their Beckers. I haven't seen Iman's handle covers before.

Thanks Marco, thanks Quick, appreciate the mention. Indeed QS, they are some aftermarket micarta scales since I feel they have much better looks and grip/purchase than the slick black grivory they come with. Thanks again.

These are cheap knives but come with a very nice double sheath.

I like the Micarta and the rifle inlays. Great stuff, I-Man and Garry!

This one was made from a railroad spike with an”H” designate which is hardened for corners.The wood scale are from an old ship that was in a bay in Maine for over150 years.
