Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I like both knives- understated elegance and very functional. Does it say OVB (our very best) on the one tang? The other items in the picture are interesting as well.

Awesome Blades Bigbore!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Yes, the smaller knife is the Camillus OVB (Our Very Best) version of the Jerry Fisk Sendero.
I own the Camillus for long but always wanted a smaller ricasso on it.
(there is also a new factory-made version of the Sendero by White River avilable)
The coins are cheap chinese fakes.

Wally, that Mammoth Ivory knife is exquisite. Actually, it is the nicest knife i have seen for a long time. Your friend has a remarkable talent as a knifemaker and you are very fortunate to be the custodian of such a wonderful piece of cutlery. The sheath is not too shabby either.
Welcome to the Forum...man, you have hit the ground running with that set.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Thanks much Schrade. I love that knife too. I am and have been a Schrade Walden man for 40 years. Here is my old buddy, a Schrade Walden 283, and a 283 I just picked up. For years, I thought my knife was a 233, and I looked for a nice one for a long time. Then I got out my 10X loupe, and bygolly, it was a 283! It took me 5 minutes to find a Schrade Walden 283, NOS FOR $39. Live and learn. I like my old one best, as it says SCHRADE WALDEN on the shield. I found it in a washing machine at a laundromat in Pendleton Oregon in 1982, and it has been in my pocket ever since.Schradenut wrote:Wally Taylor.

I actually tried to locate the owner. I put a paper up in the laundromat, and four people called, but no one could describe it. At least I tried. Like You, I am a Schrade nut!

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
They sure are; I don't own a single CASE fixed blade; the chrome plating kinda throws me. Just me, I know. I see some of the old ones but balk at the price when they are in extra pretty condition. I am partial to the Ruanas too; I might have a couple of them. You have a great collection, Mr. Kennedy; Some great images you posted earlier, also (Randalls & Ruanas & CASES, oh my!).steve99f wrote:Those old bone handled Case knives are sweet!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Case blades are not chrome plated.. Just highly polished..

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
They don't get any more rugged than this Cold Steel. No handle slabs to break, only olive paracord on a high carbon blade. I think I remember buying this at a gunshow back in the early 1990s for less than $20, did not come with a sheath. If I remember correctly, Cold Steel marketed this as a throwing knife, but with a nylon sheath I picked up at our local military store, it makes a fine all around knife. This one at the time was USA made, later versions were imported.
