Thread: Show me your knives

I must be on a nostalgia trip at the moment. Picking up a 1916 .303 to hunt with yesterday and today a Victory Outdoors Knife turns up in the mail! My very first hunting knife was a Green River Bushman's Friend; the Victory is a copy. I think they bought up Green River? Anyhoo; the only difference is that the original Green River was carbon steel.

Gotta give kudos to Victory.... The service from the factory is brilliant. Three days from ordering to my (rural delivery) mailbox. Packaged in a cute little Victory logo cardboard box with a sticker and knife care guide. Nice to give a NZ company credit where it's due

bowie from 5 yrs ago back for a tidy up and sharpen

John, I handed my friend that new filleting knife you made on Monday, along with a kingfish, I waited for him to pull out his manky knife and make a few cuts before grabbing it and throwing it on the lawn then produced your one and said 'hey you should try this one instead' he is wrapped mate, thanks again for the amazing piece of art

cheers gibo glad he likes it

Speaking of filleting knives. Made this little ko deba (japanese style filleting knife) to test out some laminated steel. Is a machine on smaller fish like koheru or blue macks.

Little edc/bird and trout prototype for testing. Rwl 34 @ 60rc. Micarta handles, hidden pins with an orange g10 liner. Plan is to have an option with timber or micarta handle for a trout/small game knife and a paracord wrap with pocket sheath for a light edc option

Looks like the one you made me,is this one’s handle longer than mine though?looks good.

Yeah it's a mini version. Handle is slightly shorter, quite a bit narrower and the blade is 20mm shorter. Thinner stock as well. Needs a reference for scale

Ah makes sense now,nice looking setup.hit me up once you start making sheaths as I will be keen on one as well.

the chunky monkey

@mickey duck, awesome effort mate.

thanks bud...means a lot coming from man of your talents...IF and when I manage to assemble bits to try again (this one was birthday gift and cost is about same as buying a custom) there are a few things I would do differently but this came out as I wanted from moment I had looked at semi formed bit of steel.....I own lots of functional slim,light knives.... this one will do the hard yards without fear of it breaking. the option was there to grind it differently in fact all options were on table,this fits what I said I wanted to do.the fit in my hands is unreal,I can see how the origonal bowie being made to fit end user made it so deadly.
now to go find a bit of venison to blood the thing properly.

I have been approached by a Facebook hunting group to donate a knife for their members to raffle with all proceeds going to Starship Hospital.
Something I feel very proud to be a part of and do something positive .

Hopefully it raises a few bucks for a great cause and place.
