Show off your fixed blades!

Tony, Do you make your own display stands or could you provide your source for them?

[Tony_Wood]

I have posted these elsewhere, but don’t think I have posted them here.
These are a few Japanese style blades that I have built.

You sir, are an amazing craftsman.

Thank you, David.

Tony, As I understand it the bamboo is somehow wrapped with wisteria.

Frankly, I love your work. Unfortunately, I do not participate in Face Book or Instagram which, I think, provides access to your products. Do you have a web site?

Ah. I figured it was wrapped with some natural material.
Sorry, I do not have a website. Actually, these type of blades stay pretty close to home.

QS,
I build my own stands. Send me a PM with some measures or interests.
Thanks,

I bought this knife thru AGR years ago. Forged by Takeshi Saji, it became my go to blade whenever the work was a bit heavier, needing something more robust than a pocket knife. Made of White Steel Damascus; the blade is 6" long. Handle and sheath wrapped in what appears to be sharkskin.

Garry ,another beauty! The white steel with hamon and the craftsmanship is amazing
Thanks for sharing that.

[Quick Steel]

Thanks JP. Most of the beauty of Saji's blades come from the quality of his workmanship. His fine blades beg to be used.

Nice blade, sir. You have quite a broad collection. Thanks for sharing.

[Tony_Wood]

Here’s a recent one. Low layer Damascus, heat colored copper, and bamboo.

[Quick Steel]

Tony, That is an absolutely beautiful piece. Thank you for showing it.

[doglegg]

Tony both a craftsman and an artist. Wonderful work.

WOW! Another great Japanese fixer Garry! The sharkskin wrapping is sensational. That baby looks like it'll take whatever you throw at it! Very nice!

Beautiful knife Tony! You have some serious knife building skills! Thanks for showing us!

I've had this Hanwei blade a long while and it is one of my favorite fixed blades. Because of the special clip on the sheath this knife can easily be worn on the inside pocket of a suit coat, vest, sport jacket etc. So worn, there is almost no perceived weight nor is there any printing of the blade through the material. It has always struck me as sort of phenomenal. Unfortunately, I don't get much use out of its fine blade because I do not work for the CIA or some similar daring-do organization. The sheath clip is very strong with a small button at the guard which releases the knife from the sheath. All of this makes for an impressively smooth and fast draw.

I am unsure what was behind the development of this rig; there has to be an interesting story behind it. I have seen other tactical undercover rigs. This one is unique in providing and successfully hiding a 7" blade with a 5" handle. Of course it doesn't have to be concealed and the excellent blade with its beautiful hamon can be used for any purpose.

GREAT looking knives, Tony & Garry.

[Quick Steel]

Thank you LJ.

[doglegg]

QS, I've come back and looked at this one a couple of times.

[Quick Steel]

I understand dog. It has always fascinated me. I still don't understand how it is that a knife 12" in OAL clipped inside a jacket pocket can remain so unobtrusive; and with the weight being barely noticeable.

I am sure this was produced in Mr. Chen's old factory, the one that burned down some years ago in Dalian. After overcoming that set back and not satisfied with the quality of the steel he was receiving he made his own steel. But the report I have encountered is that both he and his son Ron have retired and are no longer connected to Hanwei which was taken over by some investment group.

This knife is strictly a user, and it performs. Patterned after a Dexter Russell beaver knife, but hand forged.

Easily my favorite and most used fixed blade.

It clearly looks like it would be excellent for trapping as well as for more common endeavors. It has great character.

Here's my several-months-old Buck Model 119....
Reasons I like this knife:

1. It's made in the U.S.A,

2. It's mine,

3. It's legal carry in Arkansas,

4. It's a solid value for the dollar and a good EDC.
