Thank you sir. It is indeed a fine little axe, almost hate to use it for fear of scuffing it up. :bigsmyl:
If you have that many you're what I'd call axe rich... :notworthy:

Bloody double posts...

Am I a lucky man or what?
Frank, I can't say how happy I am :notworthy:
Thank you, there is a lot of talent right there!

Ron coming from you, that is very precious!

Am I a lucky guy or what?
This afternoon in the office, while working I came back here to check again on my Stic shooter steel, ;) and tonight I'll be hitting the road to goose bowhunt with my friend Rob :archer:
Can it be better than that?
F-Manny

What kind of axe is that in the pic with the bow? I've thought if I got heavy into traditional archery I would get into some tradtional "working steel" as well to finish off the look plus it could decorate the house as well :)

It's a Gransfors Bruks, hand forged hatchet. They're made in Sweden. Here's a link...

If you want something a bit more "traditional", you might want to go with something more along these lines http://shrewbows.com/shrewhawk/index.htm . One of Ron LaClair's Shrew Hawks, they're a fine looking tomahawk and by all accounts a good performer.

All beautiful knives

ADK - Show us some closer and more detailed picks of the Fork and the tiny little sharp finger on the bottom left. By the way, those are some gems you have there.

Ken will be back in a few days to answer your questions. He drops in from time to time between walk-about's... :archer:

yeah i know Ron, i'm slower then a election! the small necker is also an Ml knfe, it was made as a mate to the tiger maple handle long knife in the picture with the big bowie. the little necker is 5 1/2 oal, blade is 2 1/4 up swept with 2 steel pins. i wear it often, even while i work. the whole knife can be hidden behind you pointer finger and it is razor sharp! Matt also made the forged fork for me, he does not make them often unless asked but he does a great job. he bade a leather cover for it so it does not poke through my haversack.

Busse Battle Mistress???
If I was caught with a rig like that, I'd be typing this from 'Bubba's Bottom Bunk'!
:biglaugh: :eek: :biglaugh:
-
I have this for when things get 'serious'
When you absolutely, positively gotta cut every single thing in the room.....accept no substitute.
:D :D :D
14-1/2" of cutting-edge fun.....

This one made by Lin Rhea accompanied me on a Texas hog hunt with Curtis and Lin this past spring. Hopefully it will see more action around the campsite this fall.

Mr LaClair,

ADK,
Whats the little item int he upper right hand corner above. tot he right of the pipe and above the hatchet? just curious?
-
a eagle pipe tamper, a gift from a friend.
-
Just sent off a Japanese style workin' blade (10" AOL 5160) to a bowyer who did me a huge favor. I never tried one of these or even held one...so I just tried to copy a picture. It has some pretty good heft and will cut through water bottles & branches with ease. Hopefully it will slice up some Arizona Elk...tippit

-
You bet, it will Jeff! 5160 is hard to beat. Lin
-
Mine are all off the shelf stuff, gets the job done but has no soul. I have sent out a couple PM's to builders but no replies. Guess I am destined to carry stainless :banghead:
-
Mark,
Would a carbon steel folder do the trick?
F-Manny
-
Lookingforlunkers,
you sent requests out to the wrong builders, apparently. :bigsmyl:
-
Mark, PM sent
-
F-Manny I am not certain yet what I want, I was leaning towards a Necker.
Ray yes I would say you are correct as both guys opened the pm just didn't bother to respond, O well
Thanx MYSTIKBOW and everyone else for a great forum I love seeing all your blades

I received my steel today!!! :thumbsup: :notworthy: :archer:
What can I say? Better in person! This is the knife I wanted for a long time, the kind of tool that will look better as it ages, strong, simple, no nonsense...Simply love it!
As if it was not enough in itself, I received an unexpected belt buckle with a griz track on it!
Shell and Frank, thank you sooooo much!!!

Nice looking young men. I know they are proud of their knives. Lin

Great looking-kids and knives. My Tagalog is rusty-
Magandang gaby po ??????
I wore my dad's old barong around the house yesterday. I sure enjoyed the time that we had living in the P.I.
-
Lin and Ray-Thanks for the compliment.You both make fine knives I would be proud to own someday.
Your Tagalog is fine Ray,just replace the y with an i in gabi.That means "good evening" to some of you folks who haven't been in the Philippines yet.Good thing your dad's barong fit you.Just tell me if you need one for yourself and I can get one for you.
