Thread: Show me your knives

Did some blueing on a Svord Peasant and a Green River Outdoors knife. Svord came out alright, Green River a bit patchy.

High carbon, Black Mamba, composite handles, forced patina with mustard etched. Off to top of the South Island for the spring hunting season.

Make sure you give those a bloody good clean before you use them on anything you might eat. Cold blue is toxic as fark

Yesterday I did a day knifemaking course with John McDonald of Alba Knives in Hunterville - it was a birthday present from the family. Started off with a heat treated D2 steel blank and ended up with my interpretation of a Loveless styled drop point hunter. Had time to make a sheath to fit aswell. A great activity learning lots and coming away with something useful.

@viper please PM me your email address. I turn seventy next May and I have a stRong gut feeling that certain members of my family need to be told how to establish contact with you in order to curry favour if they want to hold their current position in my will.

Custom made from rail steel, very sharp. gonna to ask them to make a smaller multipurpose knife.

Thats very nice Viper

In Japan on business and managed to find a nice G Sakai Folding Hunter knife. This is the ‘S’ ( small version). ATS 34 stainless blade, stag antler grips. Everything speaks quality from knife to scabbard. Made in Seki Japan. As a matter of interest I believe the G before Sakai denotes a collaboration between Sakai and Gerber in the early days.

And then a Randall No 14. Stainless blade, single tang, stacked leather handle. Current wait time from the factory in the US is 6 years.

I was the same mate. Drooling at knives through the glass at Ballingers in Christchurch. I was lucky enough to be given one as a gidt from a mate and buy another second hand this year.

Yes thats a connection -Randall Adventure Training Team (RAT)

Ontario Rat 2 in D2. Probably the best knife I own. And I have svords, esee, fallniven, victorinox etc.

This little fucker comes with me everywhere, is razor sharp, is an every day carry, and just boned out a couple of deer again tonight.

Teaspoon for size reference.
