I regularly carry a Case, 3" fixed blade, and I have a custom skinner, with 5" upswept fixed blade and elk antler handle made by Ammo Head Design at my request! I have recently asked him to make for me something more the style of a fighting knife, fixed blade, about 7" long with a stacked leather handle on that one too. I dont know when I'll have it comissioned, but should be soon.
Some of these pics will be of some of my leatherwork, but the knife is in there too!
Case folder, still entirely made in the US!
Case 3" blade
Ammo Head Design, 5" upswept skinner, elk antler handle, custom.
Here's my Maxam MX-1. It's made in Japan from 420C stainless. I'm not a fan of 420 steel, but this knife just feels right in my hands and has been put through a lot of use. I bought it used and it had a huge chunk out of the edge & some surface rust. I took a file & fixed the edge & used a "knife eraser" to bring back the shine and now keep it sharp as a razor. Features:
- 1/8" full tang 420C stainless steel blade
- 5" blade
- 11" overall
- Riveted hardwood handle
Here is one of my hunting knives.It is a Muela manufactured knife with a 9 1/2 inches blade ,stag handle from red deer and leather sheath.About the steel it is very similar to 440 B or 440 C.
This kind of knives are very useful here when making wild boar driven hunts with dogs.The double edge helps to reach vitals with less effort between ribs if neccesary.
