Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades What am I missing?

I just recently got into the custom knife game.....always looking to add more. I only have 3 at the moment and before my ordering goes any further would appreciate some reccomendations from those of you with more experience than me.

I currently have an Ingram yellow jacket in d2. Carry it everyday for a multitude of tasks.
A Charlie May bobwhite in d2 ( cleaning small game)
And a winston 43 in d2 i plan to use on dressing deer.

My hunting consists of 90% small game. (Squirrels, rabbits and ruffed grouse) the other 10% is deer and predators. Knife for predators is of no concern.

What am I missing? There’s probably nothing I can’t do with the above mentioned blades and duplicates are fine. So with the above criteria what would you be adding based off your personal experience? I need some color I know. Thinking an Ingram #4 B&T is a must, and maybe a Charlie May skipjack (although I must confess....idk why I want the skipjack lol)
Group shot is pretty drab as far as color goes.

You've got it covered with the #43.

I like the #45 a touch more.

#91 is a nice skinner blade

Left = #91. Right #45


Double skinny and #2 skinny I think are the names.

You need a pocket fixed blade for casual,a fillet for fish & kitchen. A traditional pocket knife. A Santoku,better get your wife a parer. You are missng a lot

Dude that green Ingram is sick!

Vince-I have several traditional folders from GEC.....strictly looking at fixed blades at the moment. I have a 16bore in the works from menefee, thinking the skipjack fro may could do the kitchen work.....no wife, thought not having a wife was the way to afford toys lol.

Pocket fixed blade for causal? Reccomendation?

A king Fisher from Gene would be mighty nice

Thought about that one. Already waiting on a skipjack from May though and I’m not too sure what I plan to do with it lol. And the kingfisher/skipjack seem very similar to each other? Correct me where I am wrong?

You need a Dozier Knives K-12 Small Game Skinner. It is the best squirrel disassembly tool that I have ever used, by far!

You have purchased some excellent knives so far.

Dude, you have become a collector. Need went out the door, now it is simply what you like.
Embrace it, be honest with yourself. I had a heck of a time justifying gun purchases.
Now if I want it, and the price is right, it's mine.

On my site I have a pocket fixed blade by Rick Nowland called a " Little Buddy" in stag Normally 235 reduced to $160 quite the deal

I have this small unique Teardrop by Rick ,this is an old English style sometimes called a Quill knife

I have some more small knives incoming from Menefee but they get sold before I get them here a lot of times. One of them is a swayback,another English style. Also the " Front Pocket"

I have some other small knives in the works by Bret Dowell,and his daughter Taylor.

Sometimes I can be talked out of something out of my own stash too. I'm sure I can get you fixed up with something




This is a sneak peek at some incoming Menefee's. Right now I can't quote exact prices on these I'm waiting to hear from Rick,but just look at them

Here's some of my small fixed Ky221

Top to bottom,left to right

Bret Dowell EDC , Parsons no loop

Wayne Hendrix #14 Parsons no loop

Menefee one of two ,no pattern ,Parsons no loop with tooled basketweave

Good stuff

I really like that dowell EDC.....that’s a nice pattern.

Thanks RIP—-I’m satisfied so far.

Dillon- yea who am I kidding. I ain’t justifying it anymore. I don’t need them...I want them lol.

what you have will easily process anything you hunt. If you need more, that's fine, but you are covered. I like Tim Olt's knives, and one of his would not be out of place in that group shot.

How does one get in touch with Tim Olt? Can’t find a webpage or Facebook page??

send him a pm on here, michiganroadkill


He makes a great knife

Aha.

Thanks! I’ll get on it!
