I sure wouldn't call this slumming. Beautiful set

I’ve just perused the last few pages. Y’all are showing some of the finest fixed blades I’ve ever seen.

TR, I like the looks of your slums!

NICE!!!

Great looking set tr!

In the first pic shows a number 965 on the box lid. Do you know if that is the model # for the set?

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes; the 965 is the model number for the set.

So this isn't nearly as cool as the Kinfolks, but I just completed a little fixed blade kit that's been in my knife box for about 5 years.It was a kit that I picked up at the Blade Show. Stainless blade, linen micarta scale blanks. It took a lot of shaping and sanding. Epoxied and pinned the handles.I wanted the scales to look like wood, so I sanded them with 220 grit and polished them up with some carnuba wax. Now to get to work on a sheath..

Nice! I bet that you will use it.

Y'all just keep coming up with great knives!

The thistle knives are very nice. Most have wooden handles that someone had to carve out. I have a Henry Sears with a molded (bakelite?) handle.

Your BK9 looks like a beast! One heck of a chopper I'll bet!
