Was rummaging yesterday, and found these. Thought I'd post some pics:
Far left is a rifleman's knife made from a blade purchased on this forum. CM haft, brass guard, poured pewter cap, no sheath.
Center is an original cartouche knife with belt sheath.
Right is John Nowill & son butcher. The cartouche and butcher have 8" blades.
Left is my version of William Clark's hunting knife. Forged from 5160, walnut scales. Right is a "Bowie" made from an old cook's knife, buffalo horn scales.
The coin is an Eisenhower dollar.
Left is a "trousse" of Green River knives. They "piggyback" fit into the sheath, and have been very useful to me. Right is a Damascus "sgean dubh" , walnut haft, made by me. Sheath is a "leather shield" for wear as a neck knife, without the neck cord. (Haven't braided if yet).
Left is a Green River Dadley, original configuration, bought someplace on CO years ago. Haven't seen another one anywhere, ever. Sheath made by me.
Center is the wife's Tim Ridge belt knife, bought before Tim got "famous." Excellent quality, excellent knife.
Right is a little patch knife given to me years ago. Very thin blade, very sharp, very good knife.
Left is John Nowill next to another still wrapped in the original wax paper slip as shipped.
Center top is an inexpensive folder available almost everywhere, which goes everywhere with me.
Center below is the wife's Damascus neck knife, made by me, 1/4" thick braintan sheath.
Right is folding "stiletto" similar to one found in Fur Trade Cutlery Sketchbook. A favorite.
Left is the first knife I ever forged. (yeah, yea, I know. Needs a lot of work) CM scales, copper rivets. Old Gerber knife sheath houses it.
Right is forged belt knife. 5160, antler haft, copper rivets.
Left is the first knife I ever made, age 12. Dixie Gun Works blade, whitetail haft, glued in. Sheath by me.
Center is a little "stabber." Unknown maker. Traded from Dale Coleman (Blond Bear) many years ago.
Right is German hunting knife with well-worn blade, acquired in Germany many years ago.
Sorry for the long post. Hopefully, someone will enjoy looking.
If not...
Don't look.
Thanks! --JB
