Just bought a cold steel mini tac with kydex sheath, will try post a pic later
Marking out the scroll work before engraving / cutting the design
Engraving done and ready for the pyrography kit tomorrow
Just looking for leather bits and came across this leather makers knife, very doable
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LEATHER-W...item3f2eb6579e
Interesting knife, was going to look at getting a hooked Stanley blade like a lino / carpet knife.
Ordered 2 x roo half hides the other day which hopefully will be in this week and my 10lbs box of leather will be in next week.
If the mail gods are smiling then I should have my mini tac in tomorrow
Nah the postie has not been kind, getting a little nervous
going to pin the Gil Hibben bowie handle , just to make it different
this is one pattern, or 3 rows fanning out
Very different pin style
just received a 2nd chance offer for one of the timber rattler 18" folder. Its a horse
I can get it for $15 plus post
also have an auction finishing in an hour or so for a Golden bone Timber Rattler boning knife
Was sniped on my Khyber bowie but that wont happen this time
Found some nice Molle gun bags, I was going to hang them off the cargo barrier
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Giant-Knife-...item1e847a5651
Design now burnt and ready to stitch and seal
Just picked up this TR for $10, happy camper
Very noice, interesting colour on the scales
I think its dyed camel bone , I like bone scales and buff would be my favourites.
more an oldtime look.
Did you see the size of that folder
Next time you're free click on Gil hibben knives and
check his 911 with fossil walrus scales
Not for sale made from trade centre steel
trying to get the brass spine for my GH Alamo bowie
Those Gil Hibben Alamo bowies are worth $1550 US.
needs more research as some have brass pommel and others are gold plated.
this could get interesting

This tanto on another shop says its double edged, IYO would it pass customs
@ 3D... I wouldn't see the tanto as a double-edged weapon. Although the top edge tapers up to the back edge, I don't believe that it is sharpened so would love to see how Customs could justify it. If the top edge had been sharpened it may be a different story but I would have thought that the edge would have had to have gone on for a percentage of the blade.
Having said that, I would also say that it depends on the day, the customs officer and their mood.
yeah ok sick of losing stuff to customs. I've found another tanto diving knife with the molle style sheath
I'm starting to take up diving again, so this will suit as a dual purpose
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230846142...84.m1423.l2649
did you check the size of that TR folder? 450mm
don't want to take the chance with an $80 knife
That was a big ar$ed folder. Touchwood I should have my Cold Steel mini tac tomorrow and a CRKT tanto next week
I'm starting to like the tanto blade now, as a tactical knife not so the Japanese style
and easy enough to put another edge on it, for diving perfect for removing abalone
Never been a big tanto fan until I saw HL's. More of a "point" fan myself.
Going to order some blanks next week that are about 5 inches in total length, great size for survival belt pouches
heres what I've found thinking glued and laced up would give a reasonable sheath
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271406238...84.m1423.l2648
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/111249221...84.m1423.l2649
He is a good seller, have got part of my leather from them.
yeah finally some knives have arrived, all Columbia.
the large skinner has abalone inserts like the folder.
the bottom one could be used as tactical with its billet scales.
They only came with nylon sheaths, bummer
plus my alloy camp oven arrived, paid a big $30 for it, now that's a bargain
and landed in Aust for under $50
@OD do you use one of these
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330982183...84.m1423.l2648
Wood scales came in today, very nice bits and will come up a treat when finished, just waiting on the pins to come.
No mini tac in the post :mad::mad::mad:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/8Cr-58HRC-Ar...item20df4904ca
Thoughts on this tactical, would prefer ABS molle sheath
Also won an auction for an 18.5 in Khyber bowie for $10 and the seller cancelled the transaction,
un fair I say, ticked right off with that, they should send when they have stock, theives
Bad form on the auction, not keen on that tactical, doesn't look user friendly.
Got my eye on a nice little 5.7" full tang Boker
think I'll stick to the Cold Steel GI Tanto tactical
If it had a better hilt it could be a great pig sticker
You want a sticker check this baby out, cut some conveyor for hilt
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231161545305...84.m1423.l2649
Or this yell out how long you want one ?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sharp-katana...item3a8bb2445e
One more for you

@ OD you like or not

@ HL when you get the chance can you measure your gil Hibben bowie, blade length and OA thanks
Not sure on the brown handled tanto, seems odd.
Did score the little boker and another lil skinner though.
Also bouth 3 blanks that are about 4in total size
Blade length is 350mm to hilt and 500mm OA. (13 13/16th inches? and 17 11/16th inches OA) Forgive the imperial measurements. Used to the metric system.Quote:

Thanks I thought macca86 wanted a pig sticker, ,turns out my bowie is same as yours a United.
I'm watching some tanto short swords ATM I think one is a Cold Steel,at a good price.
Gotta laugh those are wicked measurements for a "knife"
@ HL These appear to be original plus the steel on those tanto short swords differ some are 440 others are AUS8 or similar

Touchwood I get some gear in the post today :)
Just got an email that my 4" knife blanks are in the post
Nah zip reckon the Buck tactical folder is gone, thieving customs rrrrrrssssssoles
Forgot to get the sharpening stand from Aldis last week that suit my three colour pads
My 10lbs of leather just came in, some sweet bits all natural veg tanned
Did some reading up on Roo leather, its tougher because the Roo doesn't have sweat glangs
Dab nabit
Interesting reading
http://stores.ebay.com/Ecop-Police-S...dle-Chart.html
Correct on the Roo Leather, some of the best leather you can use. Just started on the1st cross draw sheath.
Just printed that page out to put in my file. I use Ecop quite a bit and is always very good.
My CS mini tac tanto just came in, sweet knife just need to fin the belt bracket to put on the kydex sheath.
MC is playing up again so I can't post any pics
1st attempt on the cross draw sheath (non molded)
MC playing up again
looking good,,,OD when my Buck 25th comes back from the states I'll order a cross sheath.
Just received my "molle" shoulder bag, wow it has places to hold anything and everything , I can now remove all the stuff in my door pockets
and keep them nice and safe in the bag, also ordered a waist one which will more than likely house all camping stuff. I choose tan for the colour.
I still need to get the water bottle molle pouch, UHF molle pouch and the medical pouch as well. I love this stuff no excuse for not having a place for something now,
Keep finding secrect places for holding gear its awesome
