Recently purchased a Karl Anderson forged blade that is a little large for everyday carry. This will be my designated camp or pack knife. Its not one of Karl's TD models, but truly a knife to be proud of.

I always have my fallkniven f1 with me and a small gransfors bruks wildlife hatchet.

This tag team handles it all.

I saw Ron at Denton hill last year, the stick was more for looks than really needed to walk!

Brian that's a great one you scored!

Hey guys.....thanks for sharing your pics and selections. Some GREAT KNIVES here for sure. Let's not stop here though.

KEEP 'EM COMING!!!!

I have also been thinking about getting a Helle blade and putting my own handle on it. Either that or getting a blade from KnifeKits or Jantz and adding a handle. Been wanting to try my hand at such a project for a while.

Can you ever have too many knives? It's like someone saying they have too much money...it's just something that should NEVER be said aloud.

Thanks everyone.

I forgot to add something I have been thinking of doing.

When I look at the old Fred Bear kits with the Western Blade, stone and file it gets my brain turning around and I think about making my own "kit" that would handle all knife chores I would likely face.

As an example, I would get a PUMA Bowie with the 6 1/2 inch blade and then get a PUMA Hunters Pal, the one that Bear actually carried, with a 4 inch blade and then have someone make me a sheath that would allow me to carry both of them. It could be done with any number of knife combos, depending on what YOU like. I think it would be really cool to have such a setup. It could even be a 4 or 5 inch fixed blade with a nice, heavy duty and capable FOLDER in a pouch on the sheath. I think about what would be a good combo all the time and I haven't decided on what ones to start with. Getting there is half the fun too.

This is a project I'll take up after I get the Hill style bow I want.

What do you all think about such an idea? Has anyone you know of, or you, done such a thing?

Thanks again.

They are not big knives...but if you want a nice knife that will hold it's edge and do a nice job...check out McCroskey Knives. Do a search and read some of the comments on them. Really nice guys and great prices....Don't have pics of mine.

Just dreaming......this one from from Lin would be my pic...by far. Man it felt so perfect in the hand and so balanced....

Hey Nala.

Look at the fallkniven knives. They sell blade blanks so you can put your own scales on them. They are awesome knives I have a few myself.

Basil_K · « **Reply #34 on:** July 07, 2012, 10:49:00 AM »

Sorry I hit enter before I was done.

I used to have the f1 and wm1 piggy backing on a smal leather sheath. The f1 was also swapped out for my h1 when I knew I was going to do some skinning.

I wonder if I can get another one of those sheaths made.

This Doug Campbel bowie and its sister hunter is what I carry.

My dad gave me a box of old butcher knives. In the box I found an old draw knife and this Cattaraugus Commando 225Q (Quartermaster) WWII. It was in bad shape but I'm slowly working it back into shape. I took it to dads the other day and he said that this knife was his when he was a boy and had forgot about it being in the box. I don't think it's very collectable but it is special to me. It has a very thick tip (for prying) and is 1095 steel. I got it shaving sharp and I need to get a sheath made. This is what I'm going to use as my current camp knife.

I have 3 that are my regular carry knives. The largest is my go-to camp/wood splitting/hide building knife.

These are my camp knives for now anyway. Love Osage...tippit

I like all of these, even though they aren't as big as some listed.
