Wtf? When did united go under?
MOLLE is a modular nylon / gortex / rubber mounting attachment system that allows a user to configure their webbing, patrol pack etc in a way that is easy accessible to items / pouches via straps or clips like the old Alice clip system.
that's what was written about my TR bowie they are United aren't they
My TR bowie is dis continued stock. Shrade went under too, about 10 years ago
another Buck copy for $15, this one has a bit of weight to it this time, these I'll use at camp
I'll store the Buck away
Very noice knives. I will see what I can find on UC.
The Gerber LMF II came in today, awesome bit of kit and sturdy knife with weight behind it
Just checked, UC are still operating and not gone under. They partnered with the USMC in 2013 and the producers of the hobbit for rights to make their products.
Ok cut the brass for bolsters, note to self "brass get damn hot really quick".
It will looks heaps better polished and the Damascus etched out some more.
This is going to look awesome, if my image of it finished is right ,for the
inlay I'm now going bone then a 4mm slice of copper then more bone, mosaic pin
in each piece of bone
@ OD need apic
That is looking good TD, do you mean a pic of the new Gerber?
Yeah any pic is good,
check out the size difference between the Gil Hibben and the timber rattler.
nearly makes it look like a pen knife LOL
Holy moly, das is huge butter knife. My TR was put in the post today and should get my other Bowie this week touchwood.
Will take some pics of the new Gerber beside my Bear Grylls version and post up
Sent from my iPad using Motorculture mobile app
Good thing butter never came in tubs back then , you'd end up spreading someone's fingers.
next big knife I think will be Nachez bowie, or Arkansas toothpick.
Know how to display them now, biggest down to the smaller ones I have
I want to do the same with bayonets when I have enough, going to mount them in a fan pattern like a rising sun emblem.
Here are some promised pics. You can see the size difference and similarities of the blade, the orange version being a non military style size.
And another
Both are very comfortable to hold but I think the orange version is slightly more comfortable than the black version. The black 1 is by far the better knife overall though as it had a bit of extra weight behind it and will chop small branches better if need arises.
I have that many now its hard to have a favourite,
Friday I'll stock up on buff and camel scales.
Will also be getting some fillet knife blanks,
just hanging out for the new bowies and mountain man to be delivered
waiting on a few myself. started to put an edge on the
fixed 110 I'll take a lot of time doing this before I temper it.
Plus some pics of my others, all for sale if anyone wanting
wants one except the brass and bone sharp finger skinner
None would let you down in the field.
Once again brass get extremely hot when you grind it lol
again this is only some of them, there is this much again and then some
Anychance you could pm me the prices at all, I may be interested in 1 or 2
4 of them are actually buck[branded].seems I like the brand, but I originally only brought the knife for the shape.
as you can see very alike sort of. But as I said I'm a fixed blade guy ever since I first played cowboys and Indians
I like those knives you get cause out n the field you can belt them with rocks/hammers etc to cut something
Should do a photo like Chopper Read with his arms crossed using the two Bowie
I will be putting my bayonet on ebay very soon
next time your making a knife use this stuff to coat the handle comes in many colours and patterns they use it on gun stocks and car dashes also it looks like awesome stuff

@ Mega great find sure that would be handy for a hunter,
I saw a similar thing on Mega Factories where they dipped
Compound bows into a solution and they came out Camo.
Can see everyone doing their mag-lite which has me beat
Yea I saw a vid and they did car dash in wood grain and also carbon fiber then did a gun also looked wicked!

Oh yeah :) going to look at maybe using jarrah scales and use rivet screws to fasten them with a countersink bit
Nice blank, here's an idea for the handle,
Now you'll need to make a sheath for it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281087598821...84.m1423.l2648
Have all the brass cut ,now need to shape it a bit better before putting it on , as it will generate too much heat.
I have small brass rod that will be perfect ,middle pin is a bit of a worry
I have HEAPS of Jarrah if you need any... bench saw and thicknesser too to dress if you need to.Quote:

As you can see I have an edge on it now.
@OD that's a lot of width for a 5.5in blade
Nice clamps, need to get something like that as well, already 2 small vices.
With it's size, should be nice and sturdy.
They are old clamps they resemble old blacksmith post vices of yester year.
I have two blacksmith vice one is 57kg and 6" jaws the other is a 4" peter wright,
but I don't use that one. Don't know what trade they were used I think sheet metal not sure,
Just looking at your blank you could re-grind the handle an turn it into a coffin handle knife, be One of a kind
This is the timber Rattler Buck 110tr. only 400 made

A lot of work has gone into this beauty.
@ OD I've just brought 100 x 1/16th rivets for the buck 110.
yell out if you want half for $6 , compare that to where you get supplies from.
Ive found the Aussie mobs only buy from ebay sellers and put their bit on top.
Order some awesome mosaic pins that look like a star 1/4"
Also ordered streaky buff scales and some camel bone scales.

Check this ripper out
That is a sweet skinner, that is a far better price than what I have found. Do you have pic of the rivets at all? Not sure what style I am going yet but the ones you bought me be what I am chasing and will definitely look at getting some off you. Cheers for the offer :):beer:
Still waiting on my leather thread, awls and holing chisels to come in the post.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230921558...84.m1497.l2649
The ones your after slide in each other don't they, called cutlery rivets, look in the shop they have them
as well, Pretty ticked off as my knives still haven't arrived, long over due is my 5" folded schrade with bone inlay.
My 110 25th anniversary Buck, and a buck tactical folder. Lately trying to find sheaths for them all, discarding the nylon ones
and replacing with leather
Might look around some trash/treasure sites and try and find an old large file, for a hidden tang knife
Either those or the hex head screw type.
Currently stitching (1st attempt) an open top sheath for my 2.5" Winchester liner lock
Here are some pics of the sheath, should have folded and then molded shape of knife before stitching as the shape warped when drying.
Just need rub some dubbin into it to finish off the leather
You're not thinking of corby bolts/screws are you.
Weakened and brought a knife, 10" overall with Abalone inserts to match my folder
That may them, couldn't remember what they were called
Heres a pattern for you.
I'll put a link for corby screws here too
