Thread: Show me your knives

A ha, good steel by all accounts, a bit brittle apparently. Yet to use it in anger on a deer....

I was given a Hubertus Ranger Solinger Handarbeit. The sheath looks a bit of crap..Anyone know anything about them???.

I have had a few svords, 1 I liked and 2 others I didnt think cut the mustard as far as quality for the price I paid for them.

I really liked the ease of sharpening with the Scandinavian style single bevel blade on the Bahco so I bought a Helle, its been a great knife and I would buy another one if I lose this one.

The folding Buck stockman is good for finer work and holds a good edge.

I like Helle knives, a very practical size shaped blade, good quality as well.

Yep, will do in the morning. Its a traditional scandi sheath without the fishtail most have at the bottom. Its seam is centred on the back and it just has a loop rivited to it. It also has a plastic insert.

What I love about your posts is you unconsciously backup your thoughts and observations about knife technology , advancement of steels and just plain old likes with action shots of the knife in question in work mode .
I don't have any of the knives you own but I truly look on with an interest to learn and advance my knife knowledge when you post.
Great stuff

Never really been a fan of the scandi grind, I do have a frost, but I actually dug it out of the garden...and that's where it gets used, to dig out weeds.

Some great knives on here, I have nothing out standing these days, used to have puma's which are fine in some respects and not in others.

Just a couple that are more for my own historical curiosity, a Cold Steel brand Dirk and a Von Tempsky Bowie by Svord. Svord concedes that this is their interpretation of the bowie and not 100% historically correct, I personally like it and it does do a bit of machete duty sometimes. Too big for anything other than hacking or thrusting and too heavy to carry around if your not a Forest Ranger using it across your forearm to parry Maori warriors patu.
