The Knife Thread

[threedogs]

That's what it is I was going to buy a similar knife but more $$$ and they are a long knife
see them all the time at on Iron Chef, They are long and usually surgical sharp so you don't saw when you cut
which you shouldn't anyway. Watch some U tube some guys are masters with these knives
A proper rh sashimi could be $2500 plus

@ OD where does that Molle pouch go , feels like it would work better around the waist,
or maybe from the shoulder down but can't see how to clip it on.

[oncedisturbed]

Normally on the shoulder strap on vest / webbing or pack

That's only to say its not a double edged knife IMO
Put an edge on the back as well, but don't get caught with it He He
Looks like those boot knives

Would have sworn black and blue that knife was a sashimi number,
but they come in sizes up to 26" long go figure

I likey the pig sticker, almost like a modified sykes fairburn.

Cerrations / Teeth or sawback inclusions can make or break a good knife. Some suit it if the teeth are done properly and can ruin it if poorly designed or made.

Can make a map book that can hold the folded HEMA maps, just need AB to organise a die to get cast with the logo and can stamp the front of them.

The big bloke with the mow is a phsyco lol he get really enthusiastic during the promotional videos haha. Have you seen the katana video???

[threedogs]

Saw one from Ryan swords I think where they chop plastic 20 ltr drums in half.
then cuts some paper . then decide to cut some 4" bamboo, all with a Katana.
I have three here, I used to take one camping to cut carp in half, then I saw how
much it was worth so its tucked away now. Reasonably sharp and would do heaps of damage
in the right hands, That's why I brought a Jade stone to polish some damage on the blade.
2 I have are folded steel similar to Damascus and sharp the third is a steel blade WW2 again sharp
not as sharp as my knives though

Skinning and General Purpose
45635

The skinner was a free knife as they sent it by mistake instead of the middle knife and then told me to keep both. The little black knife is a BCF brander "Wanderer" camp brand and it is a top little knife, light and comfortable to hold and use and the handle scales are easy enough to remover and replace.

The skinner is comfy and good little size to use and the middle knife is double edged and sharp, it's light so will good for all the general stuff but not for chopping but it gives me a pigeon pair now.

Sent from my SM-G900I using Forum Runner

It's made by SR (Colombia) knives with a self locking sheath.

Plier handle locks into place and doesn't obstruct the handle at all, includes a hex / socket head spanner in the handle for the most common screws.

Search for tool knife on fleabay and it should come up, around $30 delivered from memory.

Forgot that my skinning combo came in as well, interesting bit of kit and comfortable to hold / use as well

Got a diamond pencil but thats about it lol i had to ban myself from ebay to stop buying knifes but i was at a mates place the other day and he was showing me his BG Gerber survival knife, sheath with sharpener and flint kit and i was impressed!! The abuse that knife copped isn't funny, then a few swipes on the metal sharpening thing on the leg sheath and it was sharp again, not razor but maaaate!!! Aaaaand mucked about with his BG Gerber machete lol

I'm wrapped!! Bought it thinking it was stamped Sanjia, received it stamped columbia!! How goods that!?

45834

A bit heavy in the handle and would be better balanced with a longer blade but very comfortable and the blade shape is good for slaughtering and skinning with its broad round top half.

[threedogs]

I'm wrapped!! Bought it thinking it was stamped Sanjia, received it stamped columbia!! How goods th


Both the same IMO the knives they make aren't too bad. I have 5 from the Columbia Cutlery Co, some have Sanjia on them some don't
but they present well

[oncedisturbed]

A new knife came in today, a gerber / bg knick off.

Nice overall blade and comfy to hold BUUUUUTTTTT........a crap make.

Broken hilt lock on the sheath and a poor grind on the blade has caused it to peel, just waiting on a reply from the seller.

[Gecko17]

They should replace it OD... I have had 3 Gerber multitools replaced no questions, for me breaking the cutting edges on the pliers jaws... Was my own fault too.... And it was over a period of 23 years....

yeah not good when you buy in good faith expecting some quality and you receive the opposite [crap\ not good

[oncedisturbed]

waiting on another response as they only wanted to send a replacement sheath

[threedogs]

This arrived today cant say I'm that impressed ,first time I put it in the sheath the point poked out the side and broke all stitching.
Knife itself presents well with the natural bone scales, going to start buying similar style skinners as the will present well in a glass top table or cabinet

[oncedisturbed]

Does it have welts stitched in? If so it shouldn't have gone through.

Still waiting hear back from the mod re the knife I just bought.

Just had 3 sheets of leather delivered, nearly 75 square foot to use, just started cutting out the first of my arrow quivers, gonna be a big job.

[threedogs]

@ OD yes it has that spacer if that's the term, but the stiching is just poor quality.
they are sending another sheath, I might post old on over to be re-stitched.
Here it is next to the Browning, still a nice knife just a crap sheath,
to me it looks like it needs rivets at the top but you would know more?
Looking at that pic the sheath only needs one of those hilt straps to hold it in not what is pictured

75 sq ft that's one big cow lol

[oncedisturbed]

If you want me to restitch it, not a problem. Won't know about a rivet until I see it and will check the strap while I am at it.

Getting a move on with my 1st arrow quiver, antique tan stain brings out some great colour and grain of the leather

[threedogs]

certainly found your calling there mate
Guy up the road works near all the tanning mobs

@ OD not being familiar with anything to do with Archery,

Interesting helmet. Lancy has been good to me with gear as well, sourced a black molle belt for us.

Just realised why the quiver wasn't sitting properly on my back, I made it for a left handed shooter...doh!!!

What were you saying abouth quiver Gecko?? ;););););)

Seller is sending me a whole new knife and sheath to replace the damaged 1. May be able to fix the old 1.

That’s a good looking knife, it’ll be interesting to hear if it’s any good. Great price either way

Here is a bit of a left field question for you all have any of you tried taxidermy? once I get my bow sighted again I want to take down a pig and have a crack at it but there’s not a great deal on line about it.

[oncedisturbed]

Never tried it. Missed a delivery today, touchwood its my new warrior x bow

[macca86]

Best left to the pros with taxidermy maybe try tanning a few skins first and see how you go. You need heaps of things for taxidermy wire moulds glass eyes sewing skills tanning skills etc.

Looking forward to trying the new blade. The buck is awesome and the f dick is ok needs a pro to sharpen it as it's a really hard blade and I don't have the right stones to work it

[oncedisturbed]

I was pleasantly surprised with it overall, comfortable to hold and sheath not to bad either for a nylon job.

Crappy handle scales as they feel and sound hollow, is the only bad comment I can put on it but it is secured with hex head screws so it will be easy to knock up and secure some new handles.

LED torch is only a basic 1 but I have a spare P5 that will end up taking its place.

$53 delivered from fleabay.

@ OD a member here has inherited a stiletto flick but it appears the spring is broken
where do you think it could be repaired keeping in mind its not entirely legal

Oh yeah my replacement sheath arrived for that bone handled 7" skinner

To my knowledge, no-one will repair it legally in Oz. Safest would be to frame it whilst it is inert to save any possible "issues".

[oncedisturbed]

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=111364829721

Best way is to increase the grit rating on your sharpening system them finish off with a strop on polish or brasso and thick cardboard if you don't have a strop

[threedogs]

Bring it around here I have all the gear .
do you want to do your fillet knives?

Not just my fishing knives but the kitchen knives too.

[threedogs]

@ OD I just bought that Columbia Knife as well, go figure

@ Mego keep your knife at the same angle and make slow passes on the steel,
I can do it fast and freaks my mates out. One pass on top and next underneath
use the full length of the blade, more a wrist action as well

[threedogs]

been playing as you do, think I will buy that other Bowie similar to the Gil Hibben.
@ OD the replacement sheath arrived but its just feels all wrong as its not suited to the style of skinner.
Plus a tease of the other product I'm working on, nearly done. well it is done just need to mount it and test.

[oncedisturbed]

Scored 2 of them for less than $25 delivered. Nice basic knives.

My Smith's sharpening system is almost identical to Gecko's lansky set and works fine on folders, going to get the workbench vice set for it to free up hands to sharpen better.

Nice bone sets for scales

My new gold Excalibur sword came in yesterday, noice is all I can say. It will be mounted next to my other Excalibur and Robin Hood swords.

[threedogs]

good to see you back had me worried, now you'll need to find out what Robin Hood's arrow looked like
and display in a rustic leather quiver. Go to a chook pen find some feathers and go from there.
Got my eye on a ww11 Japanese NCO sword they are cheap to buy and are great value later on when you sell
I have 2 Samurai swords and one NCO sword I love them, picked up a 4 sword display stand but with the laws it of little use for display purposes
better for fishing rods lol

This may interest someone maybe Kallen just by looking at it

Yup still around, back playing up still.

Had Physio earlier and they think they have found the cause to my symptoms.

It's called and "Upslip" injury which caused my hip and lower back to be out of alignment and compress the muscle and nerves which is causing all the spasms and pinching etc without actually compressing the nerves itself.

No short term recovery of it though, long time still to go before anything improves,"if" it improves at all.

Basically need to retrain the muscle and bone structure for it to realign itself and hopefully reduce the symptoms. Then they can work on the disc issues.

Have got a few ideas running around the old noggin at the moment for some sheathes which will include using the croc print leather I have.

[threedogs]

was thinking about that croc leather this morning but cant think of what to make from it.

So I take it you have Physio a few times a week, at least they have sort of found it
unlike me. Mine is a mistake from the first OP.
Was talking to a mate last week about another guy we know with a crook back,
was in pain for years after an op all they said was toughen up, 3 years later they retrieved
a 6" pair if scissors, believe it or not that is not medical negligence,, now that sucks big ones, go figure
was not allowed to keep them either

I wonder if I was to build a medieval style rack and stretched you out on it, it would help? :D

@3D, That Lansky system I have will work a treat, as long as it can clamp on to the blade and it can clamp on to some fairly small blades. I may have to order that plans for that grinder too!

@ GKO cheaper to buy


As for medical mis adventure that's what he was told when they found them, just one of those things
like me clamping the steffie plates on the bone graft and nerve ends opps sorry

They are real romancing the stone boots eh

[threedogs]

My rainbow scale skinner/gut hook and Black Columbia arrived.
they sent rainbow job as they had no stock of the one I brought
the black knife not to bad at all,, ,,got a bit of weight about it.
Plus a nice size as well. Now waiting on three more skinners
another bone scaled like in picture but has a gut hook,
plus a stag horn skinner and the Buck Vanguard one.
The skinners will present well together I reckon.

Not a bad shop, nice folder too

@ OD did you end up getting the Fiskar X7

[oncedisturbed]

Yup got x7 then a mate chipped the tip of the edge splitting some jarrah for the fire pit.. Grrrrr, have to re-edge it now

Nothing in the mail so far :mad:

[Alitis007]

How much did hou get the X7 for OD??? I was looking at them at Bunnings for $65 was also trying to decide on either the x25 or x 27 so i bought a Hart 8lbs sledge splitter for the time being lol

[threedogs]

@ Alitis for log splitting go the x28 which is 36" handle
I have X25 , X17 and X7, make me an offer on the X7

@ OD don't you get lifetime warranty on Fiskar gear, shouldn't do that just chopping wood
I don't like the X7 too light IMO would rather use my Plumb tomahawk


Might be worth a read on survival knives
http://www.ebay.com.au/gds/How-to-buy-a-Survival-Knife-/10000000177657234/g.html

[oncedisturbed]

Paid $65 at Bunnings, will check the warranty on it TD

[threedogs]

http://www2.fiskars.com/Customer-Service/FAQs/General-Product-Questions/Warranty-Information

@ OD try this limited lifetime warranty
They are too light IMO, I've only used mine a few times.
Anyone who picks it up says the same thing,

The X15 with the saw would be better value I reckon
@ Alitis you'd be better off paying $65 for this
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400681559245?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

@ OD again these would display your Robin Hood gear well

[Alitis007]

The x7 is a perfect size and weight for splitting kindling at home but its light enough to throw in the back of the car when you go away, same goes for the x25 even tho the x25 is for soft to medium density wood pretty much for damp or wood thats still a bit green. Thats why i bought the 8lb splitter for hard wood like redgum, yellow and grey box coz my old splitter which are 2-3lbs which bounced off if i didn't put my whole weight behind it lol

This is my new splitter

46508

[threedogs]

Sorry but IMO a Fiskar will out split that splitter 3 to 1 Fiskar are awesome for the job at hand with little imput
Plus you can use as an axe as well, Most here would prefer to split redgum with a fiskar.
I brought the Saxon splitter years ago and it now sits idle,
must admit it did struggle on the yellow box up Tallarook one weekend but we just took smaller bites

[BigRAWesty]

My wood splitter runs on 2 stroke..

It's also my axe, track clearing device, and sculpting tool... :-P

[threedogs]

brought a Lanksey system and a Genuine British army knife
with the Marlin spike, great for splicing bigger rope

Same as this but a quarter the price

[oncedisturbed]

I have the Ozzy issued version of that knife, very good knife

[threedogs]

This pocket rocket arrived today 6mm thick between the scales.
Real stag and only $24 will go well with the other skinners.
very surprised indeed been looking at it for ages, happy now

Heres a cheap Aussie one,

Lol the other side of my Hart splitter is a sledge hammer so if the piece is too big or knotted up i can drive my wedge splitter thru it hahaa, can't do that with the Fiskers lol!

Went out and got a X7 and started splitting oregon and the edge is showing fatigue and has busted thru the ptfe coating, is that normal ??

46514



46516

[threedogs]

OD's broke cutting kindling, and no you can't use a Fiskar as a sledge hammer.
If the log has a knot Ill bring out the chain saw and block it out to a more manageable size.

[oncedisturbed]

Looks like the x7 isn't as good as we thought.

New knife came in today, don't mind this 1 at all. Nice and sharp and a pretty good sheath as well, could be a bit tighter.


Dang nabbit, need to use the other app

[threedogs]

Must admit the sheath could be better on that skinner, its falls out everytime
but just figured a way of displaying them so leave it with me.

Bummer on the X7 I didn't like it the first time I picked it up
no weight to it whats so ever, the X17 and X25 suit my needs perfectly
one for home the other for camp

[oncedisturbed]

Take 2

[Alitis007]

I was splitting kindling this afternoon and what i found with the X7 was after i posted up the pics i started splitting hard wood and the edge got sharper.... Don't ask me how or why but to my touch thats what it feels like, once it wore thru the grey ptfe coating it stated splitting the wood easier. I think as a kindling hatchet it works well, i seen a Hart 20oz hatchet that i might get aswell the next time I'm in bunnings lol

going to make a cabinet out of 're-claimed ' fence palings and display my knives in that.
It will have a drawer on the bottom for the sheaths, knives will be in cabinet and on inside of door
Pic is just a rough idea what I want. I'll secure it to a wall and it'll be lockable as well

Also won this beauty over night, very pleased

What do you think of using this as a display case??

[oncedisturbed]

Would look great done up with glass doors

[threedogs]

I was thinking of a door frame but with chicken wire not glass , for a more rustic look

[oncedisturbed]

Splurged on this bad boy last night

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=231183132932&alt=web

[threedogs]

nothing on the link, did you see my handmade skinner?
plus won an 18" Alamo bowie 5 in the postage list

[oncedisturbed]

Nope, missed that one.

It is a Swedish made Mora knife with sheath a Swedish fire steel flint stick

[threedogs]

this Damascus number. been a bad boy this pay that's for sure. plus another big Bowie Oh well my money
where's your pic lol

[oncedisturbed]

Noice knives, will grab a pic when I am on the pc next

[threedogs]

Better get this cabinet built eh
Plus I have two more coming as well

[macca86]

Gave my Winchester skinner a go on a few rabbits this weekend if you've been looking at getting it do it.

[oncedisturbed]

I take it that it worked well for you?

Def have my eye on the set, can't for my Mora Swedish knife to come in, will keep teasing you until I can post pics

wonder how these will stack up against the Fiskar.

@ OD that just oozes class mate
@ Macca have you a pic on the knife ?

[oncedisturbed]

No idea on that axe, would be interested to find out


Sent from my iPad using Motorculture mobile app

[threedogs]

Forged 420 stainless looks the same as the Gerber and Fiskar.

@ Alitis that coating is supposed to help friction when chopping
kindling

Brought a small tackle box from the $2 shop will be perfect for my knife making supplies
pins, scales and mosaic rod as well as my blank Damascus

[threedogs]

This ripper came today, 7" skinner with gut hook [Damascus]
you will notice the "Grubs" had to have a look to see if it suits their needs.
I don't mind them opening any package but damaging the box puts me off the Grubs even more.
If anyone has friends that are in Customs or at the Post office tell them I'm not happy. GGRRRrrrrrr

Then this one,lol when will it end Oh the humanity of it.

Noice indeed. Went back and swapped the x7 for a new one, they couldn't believe the Axe head folded like it did. No dramas with swapping it

Good to here what shop was it ?
any pics of the break??

What do you think of this folder

I forgot to take pics but the top of the Axe head chipped and folded over itself. I got it from bunnings.

I like the knife but would prefer the gut hook to be separate.

these look ok for single use items.

Better start on my cabinet real soon eh
IMO they present very well
Might get you to make a couple of sheaths for those Buck Vanguard skinners.
nylon sheath is rubbish

How's this for a warranty as long as I'm alive lol read it and weap

[oncedisturbed]

Who is the warranty with?

How many of the vanguard sheathes are you chasing? I have that knife so making a sheath for it isn't a problem.

[threedogs]

I thought you had one [vanguard] will require 2
that Damascus skinner with the gut hook who's emblem is very similar to "Elk Ridge"
but call themselves "The Bone Edge"

[oncedisturbed]

No probs at all, will start them over the next few days.
They are very close indeed, from memory CRKT had a similar emblem at one point.

CRKT have now bought out a new line of compass sets for paracord bracelets etc that can include a compass, flint stick and striker, led torch and sometimes a bottle opener as well.

This is mine with the flint stick version and have an led version coming.

[threedogs]

cool , don't leave home with out it.
Cant wait till the 30th,, went out to shed only stood for 3 min tack welding some lugs for a job.
Had to stop in agony it will now take a few hours to simmer down, but sometimes you need to do stuff eh
Ticked right off, taking a handful of tablets isn't the answer IMO, Oh well not long to go.

Heres a buck one

[oncedisturbed]

That is a top looking knife and sheath, any chance you can trace the outline of that sheath and email it to me?

Will make a template from it other knives that will fit.

I know what you mean with pills etc, sitting here waiting for a Physio appt. Back has been crap recently with more pinching, spasms etc

[Gecko17]

Just won this! It will go behind our Clan crest. (not this one but exactly like it)

do you need an exemption in WA ?
Very nice BTW

@ OD I only scanned that picture from the Buck site
I have two nylon to suit the Vanguard yuk

My sharpening system arrived today, boy bigger than what I thought
and all in a nice tote bag, will give it a test later,
@ OD again sent a picture of the scales to the seller, I would like a replacement
but we 'll see what they say

[oncedisturbed]

Nothing needed for swords in general. Some you need to be part of a club like martial arts.

No worries on the image, I will pull apart the nylon Colombia sheath and use that.

[threedogs]

looks like that Lansky sharpening system takes a bit of getting used to.
Might put it in the THB,lol I can get my knives razor sharp with out it.

[oncedisturbed]

They have a bench mount for them that frees up both hands and makes it easier to us, haven't got 1 yet but will be

[threedogs]

Mine has two suction cups and two little legs that fold out,
The bit that gets me is you can only do a few inches at a time
as per the manual. Its a two hand thing from what I gather.
One hand holds the knife on the Blade table while the other does a to and fro
on the blade with a grit of choice in place. I tried it on one of my cast iron Japanese knives\at 15 degrees
to match the angle already there, jury is out for me I'd rather use a stone.

Edit mine is not a Lansky its this one

I have that same unit as well an it is a pain.

Gecko dropped off a new knife to me today, a solinger tactical knife. Very nice indeed.

Saw that tanto was very tempted, looks the goods for sure

They refunded me $10 on the Damascus skinner saying they were all made like that.
They don't show that in their photos, but still a very nice knife.
Late edit.... the sheath for the Damascus skinner is shite as well, the thread they use is way too weak.
They should be using 80lb Dyneema braid at least IMO.
another to send over,maybe or just redesign a new sheath, with a hip clip to hold it in place

[threedogs]

Bought another two folders both with bone scales
one is a twin blade trapper style the other is a smaller Schrade bear cub/claw
At least I start on my cabinet tomorrow.
Also want to buy that huge Civil War trapper too

[threedogs]

Got a bid on this USA Schrade Scrimshaw bear cub folder,
same size as a Buck 110.

tried that sharpening system on my buck110 and the Damascus skinner
I just matched the factory angle as best I could and went from there.
It would work better if you had water dripping on it IMO.
Could not get it sharp enough to shave, so I think its just a waste at this stage.
I'll draw up what I do to the edge and see what you think, I only do a few knives this way not all
but they end up razor sharp and you can shave with them very easily.

[oncedisturbed]

That is nice indeed. Waiting on some to be delivered and bidding on the same piece as Gecko's new knife, it is a monster

[threedogs]

cant wait,to see
@ OD with those sheaths what is on the edge on one is it burnt?
some how I have 7 knives I'm waiting on plus I brought 3 thumb studs for $18 in aust
should never be left alone with the laptop.
we have hard rubbish ATM guy across the road threw out some pine floor boards, plus what
I have is enough to build my cabinet.
Reminder to all that carpentry is not my strong suit, but after the rustic look so should be ok

[oncedisturbed]

Some will be edging dye and the other a clear burnish.

[threedogs]

My Black Buck Vanguard arrived , I like the feel of these knives, nice grip and a bit of weight as well.
Also while browsing Ebay I came across a return spring for my Pedestal Drill for a few $$$.
Still have 6 more knives to come, need that cabinet badly.
I'll put some pics up later
