Show off your fixed blades!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Just cram it in there with a toothpick. Then wipe it with my finger to get a nice bead. If I could take it apart I’d figure out how to silver solder it.
Here is a Western I did. I like to add thumbnotches too.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
That's actually a good idea. It would sure make the knife look more finished as well as preventing gunk from getting in it. I'm gonna try it on a 119. That Western looks good.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
For me it’s a function over looks thing, but you can make it look ok. It definitely keeps out gunk. For a test I filled in the nail nick on my hard use Buck 110 and the JB WELD is still holding fine after at least a year of use.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Yea it's good stuff. A few years ago a friend brought me an 870 Remington that was in bad shape. Rusty and pitted. I used JB Weld to fill in the pits, like Bondo then sprayed it with Dura Cote and it's been holding up fine.

The mora knife (Swedish: Morakniv) is a range of small sheath knife similar in design to the Finnish puukko and of course, made in Sweden.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Cal, how are the puukkos as users? I think they are starting to grow on me. That is a simple, gorgeous knife there.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I don't know how to answer that; I don't do much cutting except in the kitchen. I will take this one into the field in early December and try it for field dressing a whitetail deer. All I can say is that it is lovely fit in the hand, very secure grip, great sheath that allows one to sit anywhere as well as stand, including with seatbelts in cars, without being in the way or uncomfortable, very secure in sheath. The supposed hardness suggests that it will hold an edge well. I have never seen a knife that doesn't get dull when used. I think that the aesthetics are great, and that is important to me also. I also have to say that a knife with a minimum of curves in the cutting edge makes it easier to sharpen, and the straight spine allows one to work with the knife without annoying unintentional hooking of material being cut. The only edge profile easier to sharpen than one of these would be a sheepfoot or wharncliffe blade.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
That's a dandy, Scott; most don't have the bone. I bet that one just feels good in the hand.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Beautiful knife TripleF. I forgot I had this one. Stored in my gun cabinet for years. Not sure what year it was made.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
TR, I really like your Ruana skinner looks like they are putting out some nice blades! I think Rudy would have approved. Also like the Case and the bone handle ole bowie. Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
semroc your Case is pre 1965 maybe a 5 Finn, depending on length.
Scott, love the tone of the bone on that, real warm.
TR nice skinner!

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Calvin, your T.H. puukko looks PERFECT ! I bet it is hair poppin' sharp and i really hope your hunting gives a chance to try it out. Because of the scandi grind there is no secondary edge bevel so they can edge hold as long as a man can live !
Please be sure to report back after you have field dressed with it.
I see the puukko design as perfection of the fixed blade knife: so comfortable in hand and so effective at cutting and edge holding.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I assume that is a CASE, by the sheath. Beautiful mint knife in an excellent pattern. Looks a lot like a BUCK 119. Good photo, as well.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
That is a beauty John. Really like that blade profile and fuller.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
According to Brad Wood in Sargent's last, it would be 1965 or later John. The front is stamped CASE XX USA I'm betting. According to Mr. Wood the fixed blade Case XX USA period for FB knives ran through 1979. The FB knives then took on the same dating marks as the pocket knives in 1980. Model stamps started in this XX USA period for fixed blades.
