Your *prettiest* to look at knives?.... Copying a great thread found elsewhere!

Really is pretty. Do you have a sheath or scabbard for it?

Todd.

Yes, it came with a traditional wooden scabbard. Don’t have a pic of it right now.

Nobody grinds like Walter!

HiDive,
That has to be one of the best looking knives I've ever seen!

 

[ApacheCoTodd]

That Brend is a stunner.

Are those pins hollow?

Thanks fellas, I have two Brend Knives. The other one is smaller and I use it. I have not been able to talk myself into taking this one out to use and I don't do wilderness camping anymore either.

I figure, were it mine, I'd have two choices:

Maintain that exceptional finish on the blade by saving it as a cabinet-queen. Worthwhile alternative.

Or

Do the dent-in-the-new-pickup-truck route and just take it into the back yard, dig a hole with it, return inside for a hone and then carry it happily as it has "already been *dented.*"

Yep

I carry my small Brend so there's the third approach.

Yes the pins are hollow on most of this model so that you could lash it to a pole and make a spear. Here's a shot of my smaller Brend which is the user. I bought it used and so I don't worry about taking it out and cutting with it. It is an older model 2 with a 7 inch blade and sawteeth. I saw a good deal on it and could not resist. You can see that the pins are hollow on it. They have full tapered tangs as well.

A blemished Ontario RTAK-II with a damaged tip, and cosmetic dings on the spine that I picked up many years back. I re-profiled the tip, spine, and while I was at it, the full tang handle as well. I copied my Condor MoonStalker/MoonShiner handle profile as I really like that shape for my hand. I then re-scaled it with Green Juma Mamba Snake Scale thermoform polymer material with Kirinite Starlight Green Glow material for the inner liners. Lastly I went with a neon green acrylic rod for the oversized handle pins for looks more than performance, as I believe the completely epoxied on scales will alleviate some side load pressure on them, but time will tell I am sure. Not for everyone's taste, but it's what I wanted to do at the time.
