Thread: Show me your knives

Just got this one at the weekend, camel bone with brass liners, o1 steel, bubbling effect on blades is camellia oil for protection during storage

Looking at some of the old Sheffield blades, this is a old William Rogers " I cut my way " I have been renovating , just ground the blade to 30% for cutting. I did not want to polish the blade, just remove the rust, Not sure of the date of manufacture, 50s 60s ?

Very odd. Can you put up pics of a few more angles?

Very nice Johnm. I particularly like the top one.

Top one is William Rogers " I cut my way "

John, William Rodgers made a fair burn Sykes for the military , looking at that blade, they made some hunter types as well, love it.

That folding knife above is called a dague A la d'estaing
Google the name and you will find many different models with the folding guard which is an original feature.

Thanks Fiwi I learnt something new tonight its proper name. The third down is a Marbles and there was a very nice Dague a la d'estaing made by them in the images.

The knife I posted is a Rodgers as well. hadn't realised there were so many around!

you just need to start with a sharp one Mohawk

hey Mohawk,
I mostly do it for fun . ive sold a few ,but it mostly just covers the materials . had a go at a small production run of hunting knives , and sold a few . I really like making reproductions of old knives . this is a copy of the type of knife the nz bushrangers like von tempsky probably would have used .
