Halito Woods. Happy Rump Day. Thanks for the fine specimens!!!
YOu guys sure have some nice looking knives. I would like to have some of those, but can't quite see myself carrying something that large on my belt. I currently carry a Buck pocket knife. Small enough for my pocket and large enough to cover my needs. I've carried a pocket knife since I was about 10 years old....out on the farm, good for cutting twine off bales hay, or feed bags, or whatever!!! I did buy a Shrade folder back in the 70's. Again a bit large for me to carry on belt. But small enough....
Nice looking blades....
That brisket/knife photo of yours gave me an idea Brian.
Couple of years ago my buddy Snowman made this huge chopper, hammered out by hand in his forge. It's way too damn big to carry, I believe I'll use it in the kitchen....
That's a pretty good idea Jack, you need a big chopper for the kitchen, and it's cool that it'll get some use now... then you have a reason to tell people the story behind it. Also good for you gettin that street job

Makes sense Jack. I just want a utility fixed blade like my old black handled Buck. Just something nicer. 1k for a knife is a bit much but I do want something that is high quality. Champagne wishes and a malt liquor budget. I wish my buddy Max was still making knives but he does big projects now.
Those knives are bad ***. Definitely some of the nicest I've seen. And for a fixed utility blade, I'd really take a look at Montana Knife Company. They have the blackfoot in stock, which is probably their best do-it-all knife. If you felt like waiting, you could wait till they make more in Magnacut which is a slightly better blade. They come with kydex sheaths but also have some really nice leather sheaths for them for sale
Plus they "generational" cleaning, sharpening, repair/re-shaping, for free which is pretty cool
Morning Woods. If I remember later, I'll post a pic of the two custom knives I have. I have several folding knives and an OTF, I carry daily, but the hand made fixed blade knives are works of art.
Currently, one of the knives I have is going for auction next weekend and I'm making the tooled leather sheath for it.
