Here's interesting shop.
No not a folder guy like the sheath knife style and have for ages, comes from playing cowboys and Indians and watching shows like Wagon train Cheyenne and Daniel Boone. lol
must be time to make another, Though trying to find a 5" Schrade folder with amber inserts;
can only find with bone insert and it looks great and 1/4 the price of a Buck.
@OD that other buck 110 and saw combo went for only $26 but it only had a canvas camo sheath
he wouldn't post to Aust.
Oh geez 3D!! my misses is gonna spit! Only up to page 20 and have already seen 3 blades I would like....
Put them in the cart,
I use mine as I'll take different ones away every trip,
mainly up the Murray fishing, must go again soon when it cools down

Found some nice butterscotch Buff horn scales, might go well with bone bolsters.
I'll see if my butcher can cut some scales for me , H's a good bloke
Top knife is Swedish Damascus with file work
along spine the bottom is my Seki city San mai.
Open to any suggestions on what to fit on what,
it will have brass pins
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271369442...84.m1423.l2649
This a Damascus version of my Bowie
It wont let me edit
GH make some sweet gear
I the scales would be best on the bottom knife with bolster already there as a guide.Quote:

top one will have brass bolster, good point on the brass stainless might look better
Can you make bone pins? Not strong enough?Quote:

I have used that seller before with some of the knives I have
I have a bone knife that's interesting to look at, along with my bone cricket [chirp] cage
@ OD & HL You'll no doubt recognise these knives
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-B...item58aa9c8cb8
Some nice ones in there
Yeah My camo knife finally arrived with a pleasant surprise gift of a credit card knife
blade is about 6" feels great in the hand, the other is my bone knife.
Notice customs opened it and never took the credit card knife , Doh
TD whats a credit card knife used for, just looks like a square i cant see a "real" edge to it except for the corner??
I never ordered it it arrived as a gift with the Camo knife.
Bit like a leatherman it has saw, bottle opener,universal nut spanner,
can opener, screwdriver. That's all I can see but there are other bits on it
