A THR knife PICTURE thread?!?!

I know batoning is a pretty big deal around here. Here is the tough Schrade SMEDY after some grueling batoning action. Sorry, I had too much time on my hands this afternoon

Cool knife.

Fix Blades are hard to make now - slip joints are easy.....

Welcome back, John. You're still alive.
You must be doing something right.

Are axes welcome in the 'knife thread'?

I mean, axes are like knife blades with a perpendicular handle.

Here are my latest two. (See attached below.) Best I've ever owned.

Add a Spyderco Bushcraft, Helle Nying and ESEE Izula and I'm good to go.
(I'll add those three to the photo soon so I'm not OT.
Just got a new camera. Taking a night off
after just getting the wildlife hatchet
6 hours ago. Kid w/ new toy.)

Hope to add THR commemorative edition.
You said it'd be nice. Looks like you were right.

Ok, axes.

Both Gransfors Bruks. Top to bottom:

• Wildlife hatchet
• Kubben (carving axe)

Same head (by MM). Different handles.
Kubben is on an adze handle.

Choke up on either one, you've got a 3" knife that weighs a lb.

^ (Smiles.)

Thanks, John. I promise I'll take some shots of those two find tools this weekend with their knife buddies and post them up.

And, by the way, for the record: I wrote above that "you must be doing something right". What I meant was, you must have done everything right! Congratulations! And thanks for what you do, and thanks for your contributions to this forum. Still one of the best I've ever participated on.

One I just gave to my son for his 14th birthday.......

As promised.

This is my current kit.
'Kit' means for bushcraft training.
Only one of the axes rides in the pack
(an Eberlestock Halftrack - best I've ever worn).

Cast of characters, top to bottom.

* Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet
* Spyderco Bushcraft
* Helle Nying
* ESEE Izula 2
* Gransfors Bruks Kubben

Without flash, with flash.

Just received mine today, thanks to your post. Very cool little automatic!

I just bought this Zero Tolerance 301 last week. I'm no knife guru but it's definitely the most solid, best made folder I've ever owned. Shown next to my Ka-Bar for comparison.

They are nice, just got mine




With my ZT0550

Black G10
ATS34
Closed - 3 9/16''

Love that last one

Wow, those are beautiful folders, TA.

What an interesting blade profile on the 2nd one.

This is just one of em. Cold Steel Recon Tanto, it is being put through some testing right now, and at the moment seems practically unbreakable

My Fox Karambit The Emerson wave feature is so slick (lets you open the blade whilst drawing it from your pocket, faster than a switchblade but much more legal)

In some sliver of order...
Sog Voodoo Hawk
Cold Steel Recon Tanto
Sog Tech Bowie
Cold Steel Kobun
Sog Twitch XL Tanto
Kershaw Vapor III
Buck 110 Folder
Foursevens Preon 2 Flashlight

And in the last photo is a comparison of the 7" Recon Tanto and the 5.5" Kobun

Folder - #979
Spalted Maple

Bead Blasted Finish
Closed - 3 1/2''

That is BEAUTIFUL .... WOW ...
