After seeing the others made by case, bark River, William's and schrade etc, they all had the blade a little small and the choice of steel wasn't what I wanted! except for Bark River could of gone with that steel but for the blade, as it wasn't in the line up.
There was only one choice, get one made and the steel is elmax, also the sheath has to points of attachment cross draw and what I'll call normal belt loop,the handle is in white corian.

Yes he does terryf and that's high praise coming from you.
I have to wait a bit before I get to roll it around a deer gut, but not to long I am hoping.

Annual clean and sharpen today

now THAT is a mirror finish LOL.

I have a folder... the push down lock, not liner. anyway, I got some blood and crap in there. and the lock has gone floppy, or lost tension. iv cleaned and sprayed the likes of wd40 in there to free up anything like a spring or however it works. but no success. I'm guessing the wood liners may have to come off. I'm not sure how they work.
can this kind of thing be fixed, or even worth fixing? the knife is a boker, I like it, and has been around for a while, I kind of planned keeping it for longer. I didn't expect it to fail this way, when it seems so minor. ?

Sometimes you need to take them apart to get rid of whTs stuck in there, does it have screws that yiu can undo? If not then give it a really good wash with soapy water and then try and blow compressed air into dislodge gunk, then try spray, failing all else post a pic, most folders,can usually come apart one way or another.

a Mamba high carbon hunter, forced patina with a secondary stipple patina. Instructions were it was to be nice and bright so once it was put down it is easy to find again.
Following photo shows the knife straight into its work the following night.

I have lost count of the times I have put a knife down and then had to spend a couple of minutes searching for it. Mine now wears a strip of pink flagging tape.

@Shearer I went a step further and my sheath holds a steel with has a glow in the dark tag on it.... Doesn't stop you losing the knife though!

Viper model hunter, 1084 steel, high grind with hunter green and tan micarta composite handles, stabilized timber inlay and g10 liners. For a Wanaka hunter so probably spend plenty of time in the hills and mountains.

All mine have orange paracord on them......

Thinking about getting a Svord trout and bird knife soon,any pros/cons from you knife gurus?be used for deer and small game.

My next few will be made from this:

1225 mm of nitrov, my first foray into stainless steel, not a super steel, but not super steel prices either, still a very good steel so should be interesting, I imagine this will make about five knives.
