THAT! is a nice knife!!!
Neat thread. I enjoy seeing the differences in favorite knives. As they say, variety is the spice of life. I personally like the feel of integrals. These two are my favorites. They feel very comfortable and balanced in my hand. The first is longer; the second shorter. They both have a rough finish because I find myself much more relaxed with that than I do with a polished finish.

all such pretty and well maintained knives! i never really had much of a knife fetish myself, but this "thing" is my favourite
ugly isn't it? is it a knife, an axe? a shovel? yes to all.
it used to be a lopping hook. once upon a time. it just has some old fabric tape over the split metal tang, to soften the recoil. i found it with splintered handle, buried in rust. it is quite sharp for such lump of steel. it totally lacks finesse, but is very capable.
Is that a prop from The Gangs of New York ?
Well, thats just knife porn really isn't it.
I know it was a while ago you posted that, but I was just wondering who did the sheath, its gorgeous!!!
I have owned and still own some very nice custom and production fixed blades but the knife that works best for me in the outdoors is the Benchmade Ritter Survival Knife Mk1 in M2 High Speed tool steel, carried in a belt pouch.
This is mine.... A Bernie Garland Bushcrafter I was lucky enough to win in a raffle A lovely knife to use and I'm still learning just how good it is

Favorite knife? Well, that tends to be whichever one I happen to have in my hand at the moment.
But heres a pic of some that get used ... often. (Yeah, I had to use my scanner for the pics because my digital camera is a cheapo junker.
The pocket folding knife is always with me, and used for most everything - even with the very tip/point of the long blade snapped off and resharpened. It's a $12 hardware store brand ... user ... marked Uncle Henry. I'me not afraid to use it for anything. If I damage it or lose it, a replacement is a stop at the hareware store and $12 or $14 bucks away. True confessions: I do tend to abuse it more than a knife should be.
The next knife is made from an old sheep shear blade with antler handle - by me. It a "fun" user, and has some historical ancestry. It works pretty well as a "chef's knife", but I wish the "bevel" was on the other side. One side is true flat, the other beveled.
The next knife is my all around carry belt knife - made by Tom Swanson. Simple rough forged carbon steel blade with antler slab handles a brass bolster. The blade is just under 5 inches long, 8 3/4 inches overall. A good "user" knife that I also tend to abuse more than I should.
The far right knife is made from a file, with a full antler crown handle and pewter bolster - maker unknown. I luv it! But don't tend to carry it much, usually grabbing one of the others. But I had to throw in some ..... knife porn!
Speaking of knife porn, I just have to throw in a pic of this little baby. 512 layer damascus blade, with nickel and wrought iron damascus bolser and fossilized walrus bone handle, braintan deer covered rawhide sheath - made by J P Miller. It has its ... place, in non-utilitarian situations.
OK ... OK ... they're all ... knife porn! They're also just a small part of all those "hid under the mattress"!
Sharp things ... that whisper in the night ....
