All About Pocket Knives

GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2024 12:12 am This fixed blade was handmade buy a blacksmith in Hungry. I met him while travelling over there and bought several pieces from him. It has a Damascus blade, with a high carbon edge forge welded to the Damascus. The ram's head pommel was forged by him as well. The stag handles are not the greatest stag I have ever seen, but mediocre stage is like a mediocre day fishing ( after calling sick ). I went to his forge with him and got to watch him at work. He made a knife for me in about 30 minutes, forged right in front of my eyes, then gave it me as a gift A great ( maybe the best? ) part of the trip....

I should have picked up one of the GEC fixed blades 10 years ago. These days everything GEC makes is scarfed up by flippers and marked up 300%.
