OT - show us your long knives!

[Ysabel Kid]

Well, Old No.7 asked everyone to show us your pocket knives (http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewt ... =1&t=25517), and I asked about swords (http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewt ... =1&t=25719), so I thought I'd take a stab (get it? ) at the middle ground. Show us your long knives!











Yes, I have a thing for Bowie knives!

[Modoc ED]

Here's my Puma Skinner.

I have many others but have never taken the time to photograph them.

[bdhold]

the longest knife I have is a Marble's Woodsman - pretty big next to the rest of my knives, but pretty small next to yours


(not counting my fillet knives or kitchen knives...)

[salvo]

YK, your still posting swords

I posted a picture of this knife a few years back, at the time I thought it was just a neat old knife that someone made in there garage a long time ago. Someone here said that it looked like a Ruana knife. A little research found that it is a Ruana, one of the first Rudy Ruana knifes, before he put his mark on them and the sheath is his earliest style using the square buckle. My Granddad gave it to me when I was 12 and started hunting.




A couple of hand made knifes, that were my Granddads also.

I like your wraps.
I would like to find somebody to put a sharkskin wrap on this Kanatesune

(sorry for the grainy photo - it's zoomed and cropped from a larger photo)

and nice Randall, there...

[Streetstar]

Boy kid, thats a serious wall of cutlery I especially like the ivory handled Damascus Bowie (2nd from top on your wall)

I currently only have one BIG knife --- i noticed you have one as well --- the Laredo Bowie.

I used to lust after a Lile First Blood type knife as well

[Blaine]

Just a couple of them that was already in PhotoBucket, along with some other friends....

[lthardman]

I am having a lot of trouble getting these pictures posted to the forum from Photbucket. But, I'll try making them even smaller. Here are just a few of my fixed blade knives. These all happen to be made by Gary Tucker of Eddyville KY. He is a real artisan, IMHO. These are all shown on stands made of manzanita root.

This first one is something that Crocodile Dundee would be proud to call a knife. It has a stag handle that is 6.5 inches in circumference.

The one on the right has a buffalo horn handle with an embedded buffalo nickel. On the left is a knife with an impala bone handle, the grooves of which fit the hand quite nicely:

Finally, here is a knife with a warthog tusk handle, carved into an eagle head. It is my favorite Tucker knife:


I hope you can see them! I have others that I'll post when I get some time to take new photos. Knives are my thang!

[dr walker]

Nice knives guys.
I have a few, but my usual one is a Case 323-6. If I need a longer blade I go with one of my machettes.

[gamekeeper]

My Eye brand Guide Knife.

[lthardman]

To me, knives come in two categories. Lookers and Users (which often unfortunately become losers). The Tucker knives I shared earlier are Lookers. Below you will find some Users mixed in the with the Lookers.


But here are two more Lookers. One is a John Greco custom, the other a Billy Smith, both Scagel design.

[jeepnik]

This is about the longest I've got if you don't include the Woodsman's Pal.

[mike454]

One I made

and me testing another

[Old Savage]

Well now, I guess it would be the "Chicken Splitter" on top here.





Or one of these 80 year old plus knives.

[rjohns94]

my current favorite. I this is on my belt whenever I am woods walking.

[Modoc ED]

That's a nice knife Mike. Any chance that that is an original one from way back?

We had a couple guys here in Modoc County that were exploring two years ago and found an old overgrown cave up in some lava rock formations in the approaches to the Warner Mountains. After poking around for rattlers, they squeezed into the cave and came upon a cache of old Indian artifacts. Two of the items were knives very much like the one you posted.

[rjohns94]

no, not an original. was custom made to the specs of the one used in Last of Mohicans. this knife has an amazing balance and perfect heft. I would carry it all day every day if I felt I could get away with it. its rarely far from me though.

[new pig hunter]

here's 3 in my collection:

This knife was lost by me for over 2 years in My hunting spot in a Jackson Michigan swamp. Was refound by me and is still in use today. A true credit to the K-Bar Name. Not to mention going to war with me on 2 different occasions.

Here's a few of my nazi "long" knives.

An SS and SA


army


luftwaffe


A paratrooper or pilots gravity knife (although this should probably be in the pocket knive post) and a Hitler Youth

[salvo]

I forgot a few more

Cold Steel Magnum Tanto II San Mai, H&K G3, U.S.M8A1


My Gil Hibbens collection, Gil is a black belt in American Kenpo. https://www.hibbenknives.com/gil.htm
The camps that I attended, he would always make a run of numbered knifes commemorating the get together, I always stashed a little money away to pick up something

[awp101]

These are the only ones I have pics of right now. The three on the stand and the one on the right were purchased from an older gentleman at Tulsa in 2007. The only markings are C. Hubby (if I'm reading them correctly) on the guards.

I bought the little patch knife second from the left from rjohns last year.

The double set in the sheath is simply marked "Solingen" on the blades. I can't figure out the manufacturer since all I could find regarding Solingen referred to the city. That set may be going in the classifieds, haven't decided.

I have a Cowboy Classic kit from Texas Knifemaker supply that I need to start on and I'm giving some serious thought (and drool) to some Finnish puukkos. Not only are they very interesting to me but I have a Finnish friend who's a Sissi trooper in the Finnish Reserves.

[fordwannabe]

Most aren't really long (cept the bowie I made it out of a ford truck spring and a piece of moose antler) but some of my knives for yall to see. All hand made and used no safe queens, even the damascus one. Oh yeah YK did I do the first picture right? Tom

[awp101]

A couple more I didn't have pics of before:




I don't remember the builder of this one, picked it up last year IIRC.



This one has been in my family for years. I can remember seeing it at my maternal Great-Grandparents and when they passed it went to my Mother. Since Mom is gone now, Dad gave it to me a month or so ago. I can't decide if it's Mexican or Indian?

[Ysabel Kid]

Oh yeah YK did I do the first picture right? Tom

YEP!!!
