Thread: Show me your knives

That number 3 looks a lot like a loveless drop point.
Now that was a good knife.

I have a CS Master hunter VG1 San Mai III, and it's a beast of a knife. It keeps a good edge, but can be used to cleave through bones etc without chipping the VG1 steel core. Downside is that it's reasonable heavy, but you get that with a thick solid blade.

Its the Bark River version of the Loveless.

From the Pakistan/Afghan Border. The handle is camel bone and the blade was made from a Russian Gaz Leafspring.

Fashioned after a Ghurka Kukri?

That looks mean, as does that bull pup thing above it, what's the specs and did you get it into NZ without a problem?

Khukuri are generally allowed through customs with minimal restrictions, if any. I've imported several from Nepal.

I'm in the US. It is a FN PS90 chambered in 5.7x28mm.

Ok so here is an old curved skinner. My mother in law died recently and when we were cleaning out the house I came across it, rusted and forgotten, amongst my father-in-law's tools. I figure it could easily be 50 years old, or more. So I cleaned it up and it took a pretty good edge. And then I got HGD to do this superbly beautiful custom leather sheath. It looks gorgeous in the photo but it's even better in real life. The green against the red stitching is really very beautiful. And it fits like a glove, of course. So cheers Hamish you have done me proud! My father-in-law was a great one for looking after his gear (he flew a Mosquito in the war, maybe it came from that) and I'm sure he'd be happy to see his knife cleaned up and in such a beautiful sheath.

is it a green river?

Handle does look a bit green river ish

Yeah I don't really know. There's no maker's mark of any kind on the blade.
