Show off your fixed blades!

Russian NKVD knife.

Beautiful fixed blade, ken, did you purchase it from an online Russian site or domestically, if you don't mind me asking?
These are the 9" manual and 11" automatic versions of your knife. Both were bought online domestically, and don't have quite the same look as yours, which the more I look at it looks like the very high quality and expensive knives the Russian sites make/sell.

EDIT: I apologize for posting folding knives in a fixed blade thread, I was just trying to show ken these knives, and didn't realize where I was showing them until I'd finished.

Got it from Ali Express

Oh, I didn't mention sites like Ali cuz I didn't figure you for someone who buys from them. That answers my question, and I'm glad you didn't overpay for it, cuz had you got it from an actual Russian site it would have been expensive. It's a really cool knife wherever it came from!

...Yes really, Dog, again!......

.... Here is an example of a FIXED BLADE that I just picked up. I am quite fond of the 'lill guy....

Very nice Bear Bowie GSP!

Here's what it looks like dressed in rams horn...

Thanks everyone, CxIII, Ken, Sas, Sasquach, that rams horn looks really awesome! Is that factory option or done after purchase?

I bought it from guy in Canada who listed it as mint, new old stock. The tang stamp is Bear MGC but the box is Bear & Son. The label on the end of the box states 12" Bowie Rams Horn. So I figure it was a factory offering. I believe it was made in the 90s.

That is an awesome find! The Rams Horn really makes it a great piece

Oh, by the way... ... did the seller of that Bowie happen to look like this by any chance... :

I don't know, we didn't exchange photos.

That looks like a member of the Yukon Yeti Tribe, distant relatives on my moms side.

Sas, ... I suppose for liability purposes you must have to post something around your knife collection, just as a "fair warning" to would-be violators....

I've been pretty happy with this Buck, it makes a great camp-knife
