The Knife Thread

[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.
wasn't quite ready for the guys to test out in the Simmo for me,
@ OD again did you ever finish that blank from a while back?

@ OD again another variation on your cross draw sheath

Haven't finished any on of the blanks yet.

Nice looking sheath, might have to trial it.

Nice blades as well

Also I'll be laser cutting some display stands in varying sizes soon

Sheath should be more like this, with maybe just a hilt strap to hold it in

I think Buck have over done it, over 50 different 110 folders, then a 25th, 50th 75th and 100 yr anniversary
110 Folders as well. Oh you can get two 50th one from 1963 and another from 1964 go figure, not really making them exclusive IMO

Might grab one of these for my brass 110 buck

This would be awesome for some hidden tang knives

The top piece would make a great walking stick handle. Then all of the points could be used for scales. Love it.

Seems such a waste

This shop is cheap enough

@ GKO would those Lanskey sharpening systems be ok for say a large Buck 110 folder,
or are they only suited to fixed blade knives?

[threedogs]

Just scored a Buck Vanguard skinner for $9,I got the black blade this time, I've emailed Buck over these knives and they have no problems with them
Now Im waiting on 5 knives to arrive WTF, need to start making display cabinet or something

Something like this maybe

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.
