Re: Comfort Knives!
A friend of mine calls this knife therapy. It does feel like that for me. Its comforting to sit down in the solitude and listen only to the sound of my tools, and think only of the out come I seek to achieve in using them. Meditative mindfulness
Gifted this same friend my other G96 960. Got this one all banged up in a repair lot, making it pocket worthy is tonight's project.

That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

This is an 8 1/4" Al Mar "Gameskeeper" swing-guard mid-lock featuring a SS needle-point blade with n/n, NS guards, brass liners and pins, black micarta covers, and a lanyard tube. A very nice gents knife!

CxIII ....... I guess I can only say: WOW!
....
Well, also that I had a buddy that had a couple of Begg knives older ones from his shop (I thought at some point Begg was out of Arizona ...
but I'm not sure). This guy worked in a knife/cutlery shop and he always came up with some amazing stuff and was always trading knives like there was no tomorrow

... Well back to your knife ...
it looks like it is built like a battleship!!!
You always come up with absolutely amazing knives
Well done!
Many thanks T-Dog! The original custom version of this knife with better steel, etc. costs thousands now if you can get one.
I like Todd Begg Knives ... they look good and are built very well. Just noticed my reply is bold also.
There is something confusing about your Ontario Comfort Van ... think I will stay tuned in to get my mind right.

The original custom version of a Beggs' knife was between $350-$450 (at least on the used market) about 10 years ago,

Re: Comfort Knives!
This knife very much reminds me of the "Swordfish" knives you have in your store, Tony, and a couple of similar looking Cold Steel models also, and I really like it. As for Begg Knives, I only need to reach beside me and I have the great little model you sold me awhile back in my hand ready for action!Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2025 10:18 pm I just like to look at this one...
