My favourite sharps.

[Oilysean]

Ok so here are the 3 sharps I take with me whenever I'm out.

First off my one off Damascus steel skinner with exotic wood handle (not sure what wood this is but was made for me by a good friend) with a modest hardened leather sheath. (I believe the thread is on british blades somewhere)

Second a bushie I've owned for a while with antler handle, German in origin so I've been told due to the brass nut in the pommel.
Has a flowery design on the sheath for this one with a chamois internal material.

thirdly my Husky axe, bought off the internet but it hasn't let me down yet, lovely sharp edge and holds it well.

Cheers

Oily

The Damascus blade looks sweet.
I used to have a Wm Rodgers Sheffield sheath knife that looked identical to your 2nd one.If I remember correctly , that had a brass nut in the pommel to hold the tang.The sheath was very basic though , that decoration is rather Alpine looking on yours.I like it.
Nothing wrong with Huskies axes at all.Loads of professional foresters use them.I guess they trust the brand as they all seem to have Huskie chainsaws too.
Thanks for sharing.

Here's my 40 year old Bowie after Longstrider gave it a clean up:

Stunning!
Longstrider is a bit of a legend.That looks fabulous.
Is it a Sheffield one?

Thanks. And yes, I think it is from Sheffield but there are no makers marks on it anywhere. I purchased it when I was 16. Longstrider is indeed a legend and a decent bloke as well.
