I like that.

been looking for a 4 inch fixed blade sorta like that and haven't found one that really grabs my attention (that's under $200).

great post. That would be an awesome gift.

There’s a real beauty in friendship. This knife has been my friend for years and has been with me in good times and bad times. It a friendship that has been to hell and back and we’re both still here.

This is a pretty big knife.
It’ a WWII Hospital Corpsman’s Knife.

Wowzers! Yeah that’s a big old chopper! Very cool.

There's just something about the classic lines and timeless elegance of the Randall Model 1.

 

[bannockburn]

Same can be said of the Marbles Hunting Knife my Dad owned.

 

[whughett]

These might qualify, Purchased in the 80’s I think. I carried a 110 for years in a belt sheath. Never these.

As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have this Al Mar Tanken!

Besides the survival features of this knife I have to say for a firearms manufacturer, S&W knew how to build some really awesome knives (with the help of Blackie Collins too)!

 

[bannockburn]

Although it is a bit unorthodox looking this A G. Russell Boot Knife is one solidly built and well-thought out knife!

 

[Mk-211]

I like big choppers also.

Few more I consider "pretty" , First is a Knife from THR member Sam1911 , I bought several of his and they all are good but this one "pretty" in my eyes.

Then the last Fowler I commissioned which is "pretty weird" It turned out to be a "Ballocks Sgian Dhu" knife for my Scottish mufti. It is W4 with fitted flute grade African Black wood handle. I can't warm to the serrated point he experimented with, it is wickedly sharp anf if it snapped off I would have Stephan shorten it . It does scare people tho and cuts little stuff quickly !




This recurve on left is a "camp knife" he made me is pretty in my eyes. I love his brut da forge and he interlockted the Buckeye Burl with the ebony skillfully and the thing IS a chopper !

This Randal "Smithsonian Bowie " has beautiful French Walnut Burl handle , it an a 6" Arkansaw Toothpick dagger with brass file work an old GE tan Micarta handle are the prettiest of my Randals. I got lots of great knives but most are Tactical or practical, I am not into art work on knives or guns .

Got this Harrison short sword in Arizona about 1983 , it is perfect in construction and hand and a half and very deadly balanced. The Sheath is very heavy duty and reminds me of the Milt Sparks leather at the time . It is scapel sharp and I love it it is not for sale and probably not worth that much as I can't find much on it's maker. I paid $300 1983 money for it - gladly!
