Here's my home made S.S. machete that I made about 15 years ago. It's 25" long and the blade is 21-1/2" long with a 6061 aluminum handle.

My 3 blade Stockman.
I find it far more usefull than a single blade tactical knife. It's good for light to medium cutting tasks, easy to keep razor sharp, and I have used it a few time for emergency field surgery. (removing splinters, lancing blisters, and such) The 3 blades give a variety and I can use it 3 times longer before the blade needs to be dressed again.

With my Pre-Order sent on this lil beauty, I'm sure that it will quickly become a "favorite" as soon as it gets here.................................... in a few months. :uhoh:

the one that never ever leaves my pocket is the Demo knife. i have knives that are more expensive, but no knives that are more useful.

my other favorite knife is a stag handled Muela skinning knife that i bought in Spain a few years back, at the Muela shop in Toledo.
 
I only own knives to use. I don't knife fight and don't dream about knife fighting either. And I'm not a butcher. So. IMHO, before Schrade gave up the ghost, their cliphanger series was terrific. Gerber used to make a smallish LMF that was a very good knife. I have a relatively current Gerber EVO that is not bad for the money. But the knife that rides in the pocket everyday is the Case Serpentine Stockman, with that good old school chrome vanadium steel, and a jigged bone handle. A true classic. Cuts what needs cutting. Looks good doing it, feels good in the pocket. What else is there for a pocket knife to do?

Fixed blade numero uno in the knife using kennel club around here is the Dozier Straight Personal. Big enough and small enough, tough enough and sure as hell sharp enough, easy enough to carry and safe enough too in that awesome kydex sheath that Bob provides. If I could only have one, that would be it.

The Bill Buxton Knives are about my favorite at this point... In a fixed blade anyway.

good thread

:) I have really enjoyed this thread. I would also like to know where all these beautiful knives are coming from, how much they cost, and how good are they in the field. I have a few on the wall. My favorites look the part from usage. Sorry, I don't have a good digital camera on hand. I'm always looking for a replacement to put the old ones into retirement, though.
;)
 
Anyone of my Striders, had Microtechs but sold the toys and bought aome tools!!!

Fosbery, that's beautiful.

Can you say a few words about the blade finish, please? What are those patterns and how do they come about? (I'm not a metallurgy-literate person.)
