I did not know that you made knives. I guess I should pay more attention. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/IsVt12T.jpg) I love this pattern, as well as what you made for LD but with a lanyard hole. I would not change a thing on either knife other then that. Gimme a shout out if I can ever help you....

I still want a #!* lookalike. I think that is the #, a hollow handle survivor blade, with the leather sheath soaked for a while in paraffin. Can have the straight teeth on the back, just not with a "set". I had one made bowie style stainless dive knife and it has disappeared. The handle was made from 3/4" stainless water pipe. Used a 3/4" threaded brass pipe plug cap. I checkered the cap but it was sturdy enough to do some light hammering. Wood tent pegs were ok. Would have used it on a noggin if needed. Hope to get another one some day. I would rather have a real knife person make it instead of my yankee ingenuity methods. It worked, had a tiny bit of silicone rubbed on the inside weld on the tube and a thin O-ring on the cap. Stayed dry while I had it. Matches and all. Maybe DoubleH will offer to make one. I will make it worth your while Sir. Be Well. Rusty
