Classic knives.....suggestions?

[Rod Paradise]

One that there's a space in the market for if you're doing folders is a decent pipe smoker's knife. There are the Rodgers ones, or some REALLY expensive langoilles, but nothing in between and nothing with a decent sharp utility blade as well as the blunt/spoon ended reamer blade.

Case's doctor's knife with a pick added would be my ideal one I suppose. Pipe smokers like collecting/gadgets/pocket knives in general anyway - a nice 'heirloom' quality one would sell well I'm sure.

Which style of green river would you like to see?

The Kephart look the biz - but that Puma Bowie looks grand too..... A Green River would be sweet too....

When i get round to folders i'll be sure to look into that

Put me down for one if you do. I currently carry a japanese folder and a small pipe tool. The combination gives me a better 'carry reason' which could save the 'it's a legal blade length folder officer' argument....

Straight "trade knife" 3 rivet handle and spear point type... a true classic

Leuku is what I'd like to see. 8-9" blade. Can't afford one, but would love to see one.

 

[HillBill]

I'll be doing something along those lines anyway, so you should get to see one

How about a Tanto?

 

[bradleybuckman]

Maybe something like one of the old marbles hunting knives with a leather stacked handle.

 

[maddave]

The Sheffield standard sheath knife that all our dads had/have. The scout one.

This was the classic scout sheath knife IIRC

If we're still just wishing I'd like to see an Ulu and a Kris. Think the Kris would not be a good seller though as it's more of a show knife these days. The Ulu might go well as by it's nature it's an all purpose blade.

Possibly Will have to have a look into them, as i'd never considered it.

I think a leather stacked handle is on the cards, though...again...will have to find a way of locking it all off with a pommel. Never done it before.

Yeah i have a similar knife here that i bought from the forum a fair while back

Low priority for an ulu atm. I'll have to see if i can get hold of some old circular saw blades if i decide to make some.
