300 year old Sticky Pine Knives project

Received a piece of 300 year old sticky pine from Andy the Axeman. I decided I will cut it in two for two full tang knives. I will make one Bowie for myself and a Nessmuk for Andy. Attached herewith the progress pics. I have forged the Bowie from an old file and the Nessmuk from a Land Cruiser suspension. I have finished the Bowie off with a Bleach etch to give it an aged look, and it will receive an iron guard and pommel. Will update this blog with progress pics as I go…

What is under the CRKT Bear Claw scales?

I've always wanted a CRKT Bear Claw since I saw it long ago. I was into knives and martial weapons since I was a kid, but when I saw a hawkbill blade somewhere and then eventually learned of the Bear Claws and then the Karambit, i knew I wanted one of each.

But what happened was I skipped the Bear Claw as I couldn't find any here in the Philippines. I was able to find a Karambit quickly enough, A Mantis Cinq3, then I found a decent hawkbill blade, a knockoff…

I'm Now A Buck Knives Collectors Club Lifetime Member

I am now an official member of the Buck Knives Collectors Club, Inc. (BCCI).

My Member No. is 1972.

I have wanted to join the club for years, but just didn't ever make it happen.

When I was a teen my mother was going to pay for my membership as a Christmas gift, but I wanted something else more that year. So it just never happened. The Club was pretty new back then.

In December my mother passed away.… Continue

Smith

For all the "Smiths" out there - - -

My dad had a story that he'd tell me;

He said that, long ago, when the world was young, everyone had the name of "Smith".
If someone screwed up, bad enough, they had to change their name.

Still a "SMITH".
