FOR ME I KNOW WHAT I WANT IN A HANDLE MATERIAL SOMETHING WITH A GOOD GRIP.  SO I GUESS FOR ME A FAVORITE WOULD BE G-10 HANDLES, SO THERE IS NO SLIP OR VERY LITTLE SLIP WHEN I AM CHOPPING WOOD OR WHEN I'M CAMPING AND HUNTING.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I LOVE THE LOOK OF BEAUTIFUL WOODS. SO I GUESS YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE TWO FAVORITE'S ONE FOR THE USER KNIFE AND ONE FOR THE COLLECTOR KNIFE.

WHAT DO YOU GUY'S THINK? IS THERE A  FAVORITE HANDLE FOR YOU? OR DO MOST OF YOU THINK THE WAY…

This happens to a lot of us knife collector's. Sometimes we seem overwhelmed because we like to show off our collection. We don't want them sitting in a drawers and safes and places were they can not be seen. Even when you put them in knife rolls it seems like you…

From the time I was a young boy I loved looking and watching my dad buying and collecting knives.When he gave me my first knife I was in love . I starting going to places to buy knives. Some days I would go to the hardware store and just gaze thru the glass case thinking of witch one I wanted to get next. Then when I started working I would pull my knife out to cut something and people would ask me were I got that.and I would tell them. It always gave us something to talk about.

What is the right size knife to take hunting with you? There are many different knive's people take hunting with them.but what size is the right size.from hunting big game to hunting small game. There are many knife's to choose from. Say for instance you go deer hunting and your gun jam's and you run into a bear that does not want you around I'm sure you would not want to pull out a skin'in knife.or if you got lost and had to cut wood to survive I don't think a 4 inch knife will work. So what… Continue

i ask what is considered  custom hand made ? there are company's out there that say that their knifes are custom hand made .but what i wonder is if there is a assembly line putting these knives togather even though they are hand made buy 10 or 12 people are this knifes custom hand made knives?this is unlike you have someone who fires the blade to putting it togather from start to end with their own hands.many would say that the only way you can get a custom hand made knife is to have a knife… Continue

I have been talking to others to see what their opinion was on this.. some says a knife is just that a knife. i have a different take on this .do you? i have seen and also used my knife for many other things besides cutting.have you?i have used my knife for many things.i have used them for a pry tool and wire strippers, bottle opener,hammer and i know im forgetting a few things .so i would think this would put a knife in the tool category.for many years a knife was used to help build a cabin in… Continue
