Knife porn thread

OK, will have to dig them out and take some pictures. That’ll take a few days I imagine.

Got a link please? Can't find it.

Nice to see people being nice to each other on this thread.

Any one disagrees I'll cut you with my opinel sandoko kitchen knife that is blunt....BLUNT.

You could try Bushcraft UK if you don’t mind a bit of racism….

Here you are

I meant the Facebook group!

I've registered at Edgematters. What a confusing place

Just purchased one of these from Gerber.

Ooh looks nice

I have had a few Gerber knives over the years but i've never managed to get one to hold an edge for very long. I'm sure its my sharpening skills but for whatever reason I just don't get on with the steel that they use.

7Cr17Mov I think

OK, so here are some pretty crappy pictures.

First the ones I am definitely planning to sell (all hand/custom made):

a. James Sponaugle, Loveless drop point style; off-white scales, handmade sheath from a Tennessee maker:

b. W Bond "Bushy" - 4mm 01 steel; paper micarta scales yellow and black liners wharncliff style blade

c. Mark Hill camp knife: damascus blade ,nickel bolsters and pins white corian scales file worked handle with sheath and striker/flint:

(The pictures in no way do this knife justice)

d. Merwe Knives (South Africa); 12C27 Sandvik steel with Rhodesian teak and Matumi handle

e. Barker Companion, small general purpose camp knife; black micarta (I think) scales and hard sheath:

f. Barker Companion, as above but larger and with yellow scales:

Others I "might" sell if I can get my head round letting them go:

A. Shing Raven, folding knife, S30v blade; stainless bolsters; titanium liners; black G10 scales (almost certainly never been used, just a few minor handling scratches)

B. D Edwards, chef's knife, damascus steel blade; red liners; can't remember what the scales are. This (and a slicer) were made for me, but a. I had never specified a knife before and b. the maker was young and inexperienced - its an absolutely beautifully made knife, but it is just too thick for its designed purpose. Would make a good camp/general purpose knife.

The two knives:

(Edited to add: AAARGH, what does this forum do to numbering?! Have changed to letters to try to resolve it ...)

Love the look of the Barker Companion, what you thinking you might want it? Edit: the small one?

Ooh. that’s a lovely collection.

Well, happy to hear I am well off the mark, but how does £30 sound?

Oooh nice. What length is the blade?

If you do decide to sell the Shing let me know, I’d be interested. I have one of his fixed blades and absolutely love it. A very good maker.

Approximately 72mm

Make me an offer ... ;)

Ah its real little. Will have a think on it.

Sure, no worries. Can post a pic with a ruler so you get a better feel for the real size.

That Mark Hill and Merwe are so nice

That would be great - and with the hard sheath too if possible

Also, out of interest how long is the blade of the yellow barker?

The yellow one's edge is 110mm measuring a straight line from the point of the blade.

Here you go, this should make it reasonably clear:

Fab - will PM you

I've been carrying my deceased father-in-law's old SAK around for a while but it is really gone beyond its last legs. I needed something UK legal and simple so I bought this for £23 inc P&P. A Real Steel Heinnie Windmill. So far in the hour of my ownership it has been a nice present to myself.
