Well I went the other way in the weight department...when I walked out of
the GM Willow Run plant for the last time..6-1-06,, with my bibs, boots, etc. I
got on the parts scale and went 286 lbs...I went right to work on it faithfully
and have not topped 180 lbs in the last 7 years..172 lbs currently

Promised I would post the 2 knives I have with me in winter camp
a knife from the movie Total Recall push dagger made into a boot knife with Stag scales
a Mini Woodcraft Stag on Stag made by Bob Young, retired knife maker and foreman at Marble's back in the day
Wife made me the sheath out of the top of one of her old moccasins

I also have an affection for small fixed blade boot knives. To me, the biggest problem with a lot of knives of this type is that the handle is too heavy for a balanced knife and too heavy to carry in my boot. Here are four of mine. The Parker on the left was my first boot knife and I did carry it some and the handle is way to heavy. Next to the Parker is a Cold Steel interpretion of the Scottish Skean Dhu. It is the best designed boot knife that I have ever come across, perfect size and weight, with a sheath that is just as practical as the knife. Third from the left is a small kukri that I got from
Atlanta Cutlery. Probably made by Windlass Steelcrafts in India, though I am not certain. It was not sold as a boot knife but it is perfect, with a light weight horn handle that balances the blade and fits in a Wellington boot just right. The knife on the right is the most expensive of the four, it came from A G Russell. The knife is well made, but like the Parker, the handle is just too heavy for that knife. I want a knife to sit snug in my boot, not flop because the balance point is in the middle of the grip instead of at the guard.

You guys sure have some beautiful boot, bosom neck knives.
I only have the one, it's a Case-XX P62-4 1/2 SS. It has a 4 & 5/8" blade. Overall length is 8 & 1/2"

I only have the one
BUCK DAGGER MOTHER OF PEARL (2).jpg

What a beautiful knife, Doug; did anyone get the Pearl Buck connection?

[tongueriver]

Only daggers I own are M3s, this Aerial and a Boker repro. Not small enough to qualify here but big enough to REALLY do the job.

[dweb1897]

Thanks, Cal...I've had that Pearl Buck reference pointed out to me a time or two. That Aerial is a good looking knife. This is the only other Buck knife I own...guess if you had long legs and real tall boots it might qualify as a boot knife.

Knife #8 in my first post was made from that model Case. Back in the late 1970's a company in Stoneham Massachusetts bought a bunch of Case boot dagger blades and contracted with Shaw-Liebowitz to craft handles for them.They were to be made in a run of 750 and represent the Army Navy Air Force and Marine Corps.The handles were cast in pewter and silver plated.They were supposed to come in a custom walnut case(all four together)and the price was $500.
For whatever reason(not enough subscriptions;too pricey)the only knife ever made was the USMC knife. I bought two of them in the 600 serial # range for $15 apiece in the mid-1980's and gave one to my brother who was in the Corps. Never have seen any more of them floating around. Somewhere I have a copy of the original ad for them;I'll see if I can dig it out and post it.

I bought one of those back in the early 80's at a barbershop of all places. I lost it somewhere along the way but have always remembered it as a might fine knife. Guess I ought to see about replacing it one of these days.

One of my favorites

Jet-Aer Corp. of Patterson, NJ started selling knives in 1973 till the mid 80s taking classic knife designs manufactured by companies like Buck and Gerber and having them produced in Japan and advertising them for sale in Sporting Magazines. They still produce fluids for the aviation industry.

I've had this Gerber MK-1 for almost 40 years.

[tongueriver]

Redundant. Sorry.

[onehikes]

I just started getting fascinated with boot knives. I can see the advantage of carrying them when an uncomfortable situation might require more than a folding knife alone or in military environments.
