Doc ya know that little dagger is not your best work. I know you are a man of refind taste and could never settle for second best. So because you are so special to me and shell I am willing to take off your hands.    :cool:        :rolleyes:      <><

Mickey & Frank,  Thanks for the comments...but if you want to see a special knife (not because of the maker but the Signatures!) take a look over on the TXS thread in a minute...Doc

Thank you for sharing those pic's! They are always a pleasure to our eyes!!

Shell,  It is a shock!  Sunny & 80 to a foot of new snow.  Oh well at least the Tecate will be cold

Here is one I made a few years ago from a small file.

 

 

 

I wore it on a canoe trip to the Boundary waters.  It was super handy but the carbon blade rusted pretty bad in just one week.

I still need to clean it up or make a new one.

Plywood Bender-laptop,  I use Mother's car wax. It helps protect the surface from moisture & removes oxidation.  A little rust just adds character...Doc

Tippit-  Thanx for the tip(pit)

I think part of the problem was that I took an unexpected swim.  With the style of sheath I made I think it held a pool of water in it.  Leather would have gotten wet and then dried quickly.  But the Bocote sheath didn't dry until I took the knife out and turned it upside down.

Ply maybe you should drill a small hole in the bottom. Since ya like to wear your knife swimming .        <><

I just recently bought a crkt dogfish neck knife, it is a more modern knife with a kydex sheath, but I plan on making a leather sheath for it,it has a bottle opener built into the back of the handle I'll show some pics later

In the late 1970s, I believe 1978, a former prime minister of Italy, Aldo Moro, was kidnapped by a communist/nihilist group, the Red Brigades. He was found a couple of months later, strangled with the chain from the crucifix he wore.

I have a horror of anything around my neck that does not easily break away. Any grabbing of the cordage, accidental or no -- falling from a tree stand, or other -- and you're a statistic in Aldo Moro's category.
