Pics? Anyone? - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

I'm not gonna sidetrack into my background but these are the style I learned to fight with most and they will probably always be the ones I'm most comfortable with.

Applegate/Fairbairn

The folder is my go everywhere no matter what work knife/carry knife. It's been all over the world in every climate from arctic to desert to barstool. It's cut everything from dry cheese to commo wire from whittling toothpicks to prying open crates...she holds a good edge and sharpens fast on an Arkansas stone or diamond dust bar.

The fixed blade is the original design, kept in fighting shape and rides on my strong side belt in uniform.

sabashimon · 03-23-2008, 06:00 PM

Not much, but all I got.
And Pickenup, all I can say to you is....Holy Moly!

delta13soultaker · 03-23-2008, 09:19 PM

Yeah Pick has enough blades to re-arm a horde of Vickings

22dave · 03-25-2008, 02:30 PM

You knife guys are sick.

Just kidding. I have and use 4 different Spyderco blades as my daily drives, depending on what I am doing. Couldn't live without my US Army machete.

I once caught wife digging in the yard with a good Buck and made her a yard knife from a Nazi bayonet blade.

Terry_P · 03-27-2008, 09:38 AM

A friend of mine is a knife maker and made this one for me. If anyone is interested in contacting him PM me and I'll give you his name and number and I can forward pic's of other options. He does an excellent job and is reasonable in his pricing.

stoneypete · 03-27-2008, 11:47 AM

Before I turned 21 and got my LTC I was a knife collector. Here's the best of what I have. Even two of these are moderate junk. Sad to say my favorite knife I can't find the picture to.

Terry_P · 05-19-2008, 07:18 PM

This is my new favorite knife as I got it today. It was made by So Texas knife maker Jack Sarnik (361-297-5283).

southernshooter · 05-19-2008, 07:25 PM

Here is very little of my knife collection

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 05-21-2008, 09:17 PM

CETME bayonets must be pretty common.

Here's mine, from earlier.

dglockster · 06-24-2008, 11:18 PM

There are two that I like:

The Spyderco Civilian

and this East German bayonet

Tom Militano · 06-27-2008, 07:00 PM

I snagged this out of a lake at Fort Meade, Md in 1978 one day when I was fishing. It was attached to a piece of old boot with a piece of copper wire.

ArnoldsPupil · 09-07-2008, 02:01 PM

ArnoldsPupil · 09-07-2008, 02:05 PM

SaltwaterCowboy · 09-07-2008, 04:05 PM

My humble collection of Frost Cutlery with part of my Marlin for size comparison:

It's not much but it works for now

Tom Militano · 09-07-2008, 05:06 PM

154CM blade, 416 stainless bolsters, dyed stabilized giraffe bone handle scales. I made this one a while back and it's in CA now.

Tom Militano · 09-07-2008, 05:19 PM

440C blade, 416 bolsters with green liners, stabilized bocote handles scales. This one went to CA also.

Bill DeShivs · 09-09-2008, 01:13 AM

Very nice grinding and craftsmanship, Tom.

TranterUK · 09-09-2008, 02:20 AM

And from the UK.. Not as many or as attractive as some, but will do most jobs well.

Tom Militano · 09-09-2008, 11:41 AM

Thanks Bill. I'm 67 now and have slowed down a lot on my knifemaking. I only make six or eight a year anymore.

Just something from the past.....

T.A.DAVISON · 02-08-2009, 02:00 AM

Here are some old ones I've made and sold.

Thomas_1 · 02-08-2009, 09:37 AM

A couple of mine, nothing great.

Love the paratrooper... It's been a long time since I've had one of those. Brings back fond memories.

A few of my favorites. From left to right: The Bowie is a Rigid "Bear Paw", next is a Kershaw, and of course the old favorite, the Buck 110. Next is a Western Skinning Knife, then my most prized knife. This knife was made by a knife maker in AR, who is no longer with us. It was his design for an automatic military knife. The only markings on it are F00132 at the bottom of the handle, and a paratrooper emblem on the blade. In the pic it just looks like a dark spot. I bought this one off a collector for $200. He tried to order another, and found out that there were only 18 made, and only three left at $500 ea., his cost. Suggested retail was $800 for the remaining 3 knives. He has tried several times to buy it back, but I won't let it go! The Military did not accept his knife as the spring is extreamly strong, and there is no safety on it. Next is another Buck. At the bottom is a plastic knife, for those times you need to get through that metal detector

, and the last one is a simulated mother of pearl M-tech. The second photo is the knife I carry everyday, some of you will know it.
