Is this a home made knife?

Post by alfa5069 »

Hi Guys, Does anybody know if this knife here was made by a company or a home made knife? What is that LR stamped on it?

Welcome to the forum, alfa5069.

I would say it's home made with the makers hand stamped initials.

Welcome to AAPK. Grab a rack, stow your gear and settle in.
I'm also voting for home made. Although some would call it a "custom". :) It looks to be well done.

Welcome to AAPK!!!

I think brighter minds than mine have already answered your question, I just wanted to say that the knife looks well made, from someone who knew their craft. Good post!

Interesting design. LR. Someone's initials. Whoever's made it had done a good job.
