Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades RASPY KNIFE ( RESURRECTED BLADE)

Knifelover, you have a PM.

I like the look Mr. knifelover. Call it rustic, folksy, unpretentious, utility or just cool.

I have found out that I really don't need an Ingram or May (had and have both). I also found out that I don't need D2 or S30V (have and had both). Touching up a blade in the middle of a cutting chore ain't a big deal either. I found out that if I am using the knife corectly, it stays sharp longer, duh. It took me a while to catch on.

One of my favorite knives is a cheapo Mora with a Skandi grind. Paid less than 10 bucks for it. I have used it on hogs and deer for grins, when my Ingram sat in my pack as back-up if needed.

Here is a cool video on Anza (have one of those too).

1234567, I sure did not mean to come off as disparaging your knives, if I did. From what I have seen they are quite nice indeed. I am further sure the steel is "Rolls Royce". I believe there is a time and place for a "no holds barred" quest for perfection. As a society, I think we benefit from what we learn from such endeavors. Thanks for sharing what you have learned.

You didn't disparaqing my knives, and I did not take it that way. All I took it to mean that you were referring anyone who wants to look to a video on making knives from files, which I have done, also. My opinion is that there is something better, but that is all it is, my opinion. To each his own.

The steel I use is 154 CM at Rc 61, heattreated by Paul Bos, and available to anyone. Mine are no better nor any worse than anyone elses knives made from the same material and heat treated by Paul.

I wish that I had never gotten into this thread, and I wish even more that I could restrain myself from making any more posts, but I can't seem to do that, either.

send me a pm with what this knife or one like it would cost me please.

And to think this thread started out talking about knives and deteriorated from there.
Knifelover, I would be proud to own one of those knives because like most guns I shoot they are unique and without a doubt functional.

I do like simple carbon steel blades though.
