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.

I would like to see that one Cal

Recently got the smaller version of this nice set of knives. Designed by Bob Lum, they were executed by Haruo Suetake. The blade is 4 1/4". OAL is 8 1/4". Rockwell Hardness is 60. Handle is anodized aluminum. ATS-34 steel, black coated.

Thanks doglegg. I've noticed that many of the Japanese knife makers like their blades a bit on the hard side. This had a Rockwell of 60 but I see many at 61 and 62. I need to find a deer hunter to discover if these wonderfully sharp edges hold for some serious cutting. I suspect they will but...

Two more winners from the I man! Those are sweet!

Thanks, appreciate it, the Becker was a mod project, made the Teak scales and took the black blade coating off.

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

Yup, beastly chopper, the best camp knife I ever had. Mean slicer, great hotdog stick carver, sweet firewood prepper, splitter, and whittles a mean fire stick with good curls for EZ start up. The reviews say it does a pretty good job of being a hatchet too if you need to build a shelter or chop some poles although I have not done that. But I have processed a bunch of kindling and such many times with it and batoned a few logs with it, chopped big branches up and it excels at all those, and I like it better than a hatchet. Although I still take a Cold Steel tomahawk to camp with it.

You might not get them back if they do a great job. Certainly attractive knives.

Very nice! I bet they’d do right well on a deer.

I don’t think I’ve posted these in this thread. I just picked them up at SMKW last week. ESSEE 3 and Izula 2. Lord willing I’ll get to try them out on Bambi in a month or so.

Your comment is appreciated Colonel.
