Hey Yo

Thanks for posting that Imperial folding fishing knife. One was my first pocket knife and given to me by my fishing buddy, my Grandfather.

Sadly within a year I had fallen to temptation and after having played a few games of mumblypeg with it took a dare and a challange to throw it against a tree. I did hit closest to the mark and it was easy to tell by the broken blade we had to remove from the tree with pliers. My dad made me carry the bladeless folding fish scaler for several months as a learning experience.

When my Wife's Grandfather pulled it out, my jaw dropped. I said I needed to take a picture of it, and he was all confused (not a knife guy). Knife was beat to heck, but he was amazed when I said there are many that would love to still have it. I think he values it a bit more now.

Yo Mama · August 9, 2012, 07:49 PM

BrainOnSigs, those are some sick blades. The blue Damascus is just amazing man. Thanks for posting them.

Hier is an early (2009) original Thita knife. Grip is anodized titanium, abalone and perl. Blade is Robert Calcinore mosaic damascus. Amazing quality. See more of these at Arizona Custom Knives. Most Thia knives are in the $1300 + range.

j1 · August 14, 2012, 09:02 AM

I come back to this post every now and then. i am amazed at the beauty of some of these knives. Aren't most of you afraid to use them? I might be. Thanks again for letting me look.

Nice and I don't have any knife that doesn't get used sooner or latter.

Can I just grind down and shape a piece of truck spring and expect it to chop well as a sort of heavy knife?

No, there's more to a knife than grinding a piece of metal into a knife shape.

perado · August 21, 2012, 01:46 AM

My other favorite maker is Wayne (WR) Clark. Aside from his customs, he did a lot of blades at Protech. While I found some Godfathers he did, but I've never found a Godson. So he rebladed some for me.

Yo Mama · August 24, 2012, 06:52 PM

Just had to get one:

It's not a high quality knife, but the design is nice.

**hso** · August 26, 2012, 12:59 AM

Steve32,

The requirement is that you gotta actually own it to post it. If you own the M-Tech you're welcome to post about it.

BTW, the inexpensive Frosts Moras are much better quality knives for just a couple of dollars more and if you get the chance you should pick one up.

BrainOnSigs · August 26, 2012, 01:09 PM

A few more:

Much more. You can make a quite serviceable knife from a truck spring but doing so involves a whole lot more than just grinding it down (annealing, shaping, sharpening, tempering, polishing...and then there's the scales and mounting/shaping them.) The knives pictured here are exceptional (and expensive) tools produced by talented craftsmen. Whenever I see, as in this thread, some really fine examples of the knifemakers art, I am surprised that they don't cost more than they do.
