I ended up with a Damascus blade under our tree.

You win. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Let's see it!


I did get a few knives that I like alot, but they be humble, pedestrian items, ..... a Forschner 5" boning knife ,
an 8" fillet knife (love this one and highly recommend it), and a 12" Cimeter .

Mrs. Santa donated a Puma Bowie with nice stag scales. Very sharp (but not as sharp as I like).

A Cutco double D edge hunting knife along with a Cutco adjustable lenght blade filet knife.

Cutco makes fine knives and I always admired their hunting knives. Cutco used to be a customer of mine when I was in Sales/Marketing.

I have had a cutco hunting knife for14 years can cut right throught a whitetails brist with it. I like Bark river knifes to as the make them here in Michigan.

I arranged for my friend and hunting partner to receive a stag handled Herron knife for Christmas. He owes me!!

I got some of those Buck Custom folding 110 Hunters. I gave myself one, my son, my brother-in-law, and a friend that just turned 60 one. It has the BG42 blade, stag handle with nickel bolsters, and a brown sheath. What a beautiful knife. I like buck anyway but I really like that one.

Santa brought me a new Case Trapper with CV blades(the old one needed to retire) and a Buck 55.

Kinda like this one. I lost my digital cam when i had the accident and my friends card is full in her cam, so here's a link to the picture that it most resembles.

Elf,

Can't wait til you post a pic of your knife. Make sure you take care of the damascus. In my extremely limited experience, I found damascus to rust fairly easy in moist environments.

I didn't get any knives for Christmas, but I did gift a half dozen Kershaw Leeks, a couple of Gerber LSTs, a couple of SAKs and a Gransfors Bruks hatchet.

Just curious. Does anyone include a coin when they gift a knife? I usually tape a quarter to the box of each knife that I gift, and the giftee returns the quarter to me.

Wishing All a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Chris,
I put a penny with the axe I gave my son and will include one when I get my other son's knife to him.

I also got a pair of Leupold Binocular's as well. They are soo cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

What should I be using on the damascus then?

Elf

Elf,

Can you send me a penny?

Chris

Wow. Beautiful knife. Reminds me that I have an ivory warthog tusk and a damascus blade to go with it but haven't had a chance to put it together. The shape of the tusk is fairly curved so getting the blade to work comfortably vis a vis the tusk will never be perfect. But the tusk is from a beast I shot and has sentimental value. Someday hope to send it out or personally put it together. Again, the picture you posted is orgasmic ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

Nice score, Elf! That baby has some character! Too bad about your camera. Miss your pics.

Chris:
For you anything..Need more then one I might atually be able to gather up a couple of them, was gonna say a handful but haven't mastered the closed fist thing yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Walker.

It is a sweet little knife think it will sit nice in the hand.

Working on replacing the cam then I'll be up and running again until then I'm practicing with my 35mm takes a bit of effort to focus and hold then push the button but it's good practice for me.

I just bought me 2 Muskrats offa that link you brought here...Thnx.

Hope the hands are doing better, Elf. Heres a gift from a friend who said she bought this in the early 80s and she just put it away. I have several old timers that I use for hunting, but this one will be put away. Happy New Year!

That Schrade Little Finger is a nice knife, I have a couple of them with different handle materials. My newest Schrade is a muskrat. I'm not a big fan of guthooks, but I couldn't resist this one:
