Love this thread. Saved up and bought an Argali tent a year or so ago, and a Serac knife snuck in on the order. Couldn't afford it now, pricing has gone through the roof (think the States has a little inflation problem too). Wanted a knife with quality steel that would not require resharpening in the field. This has SV35N and have been able to process and bone out two reds in field comfortably. Use a Worksharp guided field sharpener, the shiz.

My usual cooking knife, made from rail track, forged with some other materials unknown from a workshop. Listen to the sound of it, if I could had a same one in NZ, then I can cook those big paua more delicious.

Picked up a few knives in a recent trip to Japan. Pretty cool be able to find ashi hamono off the shelf as they are basically impossible to find these days. Also hard not to pick up a higonokami when they are ony 20 buckshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7f0d548a94.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...978f36d8fb.jpg

Awesome blade! How many layers do you think this dagger has?
I made the Damascus bullet first which has around 100 layers in it then I made this billet which is 5 so Damascus/copper/01/copper/ Damascus.
Picked up this Loveless recently 😊
I picked up these yesterday and saw one of the most amazing pukko knives collection as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread , but what is a decent but cheapish knife for cutting up a deer and medium sized to keep in a bum bag or the pack ?
Thanks
I saw some of these cheaper damascas knives when I was there but I assumed they were the BS laser engraved pattern. Looks like I missed out thenQuote:

bacho....... the plastic sheath makes it ideal for the pack or bumbag and they are surprisingly good to use,dead easy to keep sharp to.Quote:

What maker is the petty? Got a choil shot?Quote:

Knives of Alaska muskrat, picked it up after caping out (and poking a couple holes in) a mountain goat. Haven't gotten to try it out yet, but it seems promising

Bumbag knife = Swedish bacho.... Belt knife= the green river Bushman's friend. Buy both and have tiny bit of change from a hundy bill.Quote:

Have you ever had that "sinking feeling" at the end of a big walk in that you might have "forgotten something"? Had that on my roar trip. After setting up the tipi, realised I'd left my Kill Bag behind, the contents of which included cord, meat bag, rubbish bag, and critically my sole knife. The thinking behind having a quality knife doesn't help when you leave it behind. Hence, my new rule. Always carry two knives. My back up just arrived, a Honey Badger Flipper - the one in orange (I blame @ryansonghurst) in medium, clip off weighs 81grams. Nice knife. Really good quality for the price $89 at Blademaster. Stored separate in the utility bag. The Nitze 4cm knife had been calling to me each time I went to Mitre 10. This sits in the tea/coffee/food bag for opening home made vacuum sealed meals and camp stuff. And because it "called to me"....

Made this out of O1 hardened to Rc59 to test the shape - if it's good I'll make a better version out of 14C28. If not, I'll keep regrinding away at it till I'm happy.
What's the bottom knife, Benchmade? Nice shape.Quote:

Did you shoot anything? I often wonder what people would do if they lost or forgot their knife and had to process an animal. Think I asked the question once on the forum.Quote:

Never to be seen again. Now in the sheath every time. That new one hardly leaves my side, it's NOT A can I use your knife.

Not exactly a knife but new to my collection. Not sure year of manufacture but early though, with stag antler handle. Had my eye out for one of these for years.

Fortunately I was with my hunting buddies on a roar trip, so my mate kindly lent me his Buck knife which came in handy over a couple of animals. On the walk out I would have had to resort to using my Bahco pruning saw...Quote:

Beautiful!!
Spring isn't far away bud,it will get warmer.
Scored this on a turners auction after losing 2 times last week (hats off to the gent who spent a fortune outbidding me twice). BUT an S1pro came up so all's good. The LamCos steel seems to be a fav with the youtube knife nerds.
You can get cheap upgraded sheaths online too if you catch a one with the old style and want to get the cam locked one. That was about $40 landed. Knife was $395 so I was pretty happy

Yep bad technique will blunt the best of knives. Or using one as an axe when you could have just brought a hatchet. I bought a 450gram one from bunnings for 9 freakin dollars. Beats ruining any knife imo
My first attempt at making a knife. Made this at a class last year that my wife booked me in for a birthday present. Overall very happy with it, but I didn’t manage to get it nearly as sharp as I’d have liked so it hasn’t seen much use yet. So a couple weeks ago I sent it up to @Shelley who confirmed my suspicions that the bevel wasn’t acute enough for the blade thickness. He re-beveled and polished up the edge for me and it’s now got a very nice edge on it. Shoutout to Shelley, and highly recommend his sharpening services.
