Knife Picture Thread

[Dean C.]

This thread needs more pictures

 

[MindfulMan]

Dean is right: more photos are needed !

First, some background info. If you haven't heard of Otzi the Iceman, here's a good link to peruse. Otzi is the oldest preserved human ever found ..... over 50 centuries old !
Link: OTZI, THE ICEMAN | Facts and Details

Here is a photo of the stone bladed dagger and sheath that were found with his remains.

And below is what Condor Knife and Tool in El Salvador is producing as a tribute to Otzi. I found some old rabbit furs to use as a background, as somehow that seemed fitting.
The blade is made of 1095 steel instead of stone, but Condor tried to accurately reproduce the knife and sheath ..... with some artistic leeway.
These aren't easy to find, but I was lucky to discover a west coast importer who had a few available. And yes, I plan on actually hanging it around my neck !

Took a gander at making my second knife... it’s not perfect (not by a long shot) but kept me busy for a couple weeks

JollyMon,

Very nice looking knife... I'm sure it will serve you well.

Here is a link to the CRkt, I hate that I can only upload small, distorted images.

This is a knife made by a guy I used to know pretty well who has stopped making many knives these days. David Farmer is his name, I knew him a ways back and loved the stuff he made. The Sheath was made by another friend who went and got that little Fish for me so I could display my Faith. Sadly, the leather guy has passed on to His Maker now.

Wife brought this home from a silent auction at church. Oaks Bottom Forge from somewhere in Oregon. Hand forged O-1 with some kind of spalted maple handle. Super comfy in hand...

Priceless! Knives like this along with the sheath are the best (any item made by a friend).

I thought you were gonna call it a neck knife

I have one like that push dagger/ Mine is a reproduction of a WWII trench fighting "tool". It is a wicked knife for sure.

Is it a reproduction of the Robbins of Dudley?

 

[warthog]

it looked like the picture but made of simpler stuff. Carbon steel blade/handle wrapped in something I don't remember. Can''t remember who made it now either, sorry.

I liked the way it looked and worked, wasn't a big collector os WWII stuff then.

Who makes these?
