The black leather sheaths are all after market ones from KSF to replace loose or shallow ones that came with the knives.

The most expensive is third to back, left. Its a Chris Reeves from the States. $230USD plus freight. C35V steel. Amazing edge holding but way over priced for doing what the front left Mora can do for $30. Or the rusty old Mercator. I must be nuts.

Theres something about knives, can't just have one of them.


I will eventually design my own hunting/kitchen blades and get some blanks cut (through a local waterjet agent) and then finish them off myself.

Will do research into the choice of steel once the designs are completed. Finding the time is the current problem.

My recent purchase, for Tahr. I was actually motivated to buy this knife after seeing your sons older model on a recent story he uploaded. I did some research and found Svord had a new model out.

My Specifications:

- Wooden Handle (I am fond of the classic look)
- Brass guarded bolster (older Svord didn't have)
- Carbon tool Steel (holds a bloody nice edge)
- Slightly narrower blade than my previous knife

This one fitted the bill.

Svord General Purpose Knife - 6 1/4” Blade, Mahogany scales. (Model:# 870BB)




The only problem I have is with the finish on one side of the handle is lacking, I have sent an email to Mr Baker regarding this issue and will wait an see what he has to say, other than that its feels and looks great.


Cheers,

Very nice. That will be great for breaking down those big sambar. I agree, its a great shape. What a shame he doesn't make them anymore like that one of the boy's.
Shame about the handle, but it will soon be covered in blood and guts anyway

As an aside, does anyone know about cKc branded knives made by Baker of Svord and sold on the internet? How do you order them etc?

Cheers

cKc Knives are custom made by a dude called Kylie known as "knivesandstuff" on youtube.
I have been trying to get hold of one of his knives for ages however it's only a hobby to him and he only makes small batches. All custom made and all to very high standards.

Here's a few I've picked up over the years. Most of the swiss army ones I got from my old man.
