I got caught - Knockoff Spyderco Knife

I do not have many Spyderco knives at all, and was surprised to see a relatively inexpensive one at my local guns shop. It did not have what I have come to view as a trademark thumbhole in the…Continue

"Right after I hit <add comment> I had several other questions...
What steels were used in the blade? What is the Handle material? It looks like a Walrus tusk?
It has a pommel plate on it, so I would assume it has a through…"

Not all carbon steel blades are old...Here are a few newer fixed blade knives with carbon steel blades.
"Good Morning Jason,
While I do not have near the experience you have, I do think I know what you are feeling.
My foray into forging is a recent one, but I have been making knives using a stock removal process for several years. I had…"

"Hey J.J.
The only PAL knife I have (and I will include it in the photos) is a RH36. PAL did not acquire the Remington Cutlery product line until about 1941 or so. So I am always looking to 'upgrade' my RH36 with a Dupont era…"

An RH34 and a Taylor (Sheffield, Eng.) - Eye Witness fixed blade. I believe from the photos, the Taylor to be WWII era or a touch before. …"

Colt CT823 Bandit Bowie
"Just noticed that 440A steel. Is that steel a bit soft? Might take an edge real nice and easy but it seems it would dull quickly. Not much carbon in that alloy. Only .6 to .75% if I am remembering my alloys correctly.
I…"
Elk Ridge ER-259 Sub-Hilt Bowie
"Yep. I agree with you. That original sheath leaves a lot to be desired."
Jefferson Spivey Sabertooth Knife
"Well crud! I was trying to edit the spelling of a word and managed to delete the whole bloody thing. Let's try to recreate it.
VERY cool!

Prussian S-98nA Bayonet

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...
I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group! LoL!
Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
