Knives - Show Me

[deer_shooter]

Top, Left to Right - Dunn Skinner my FIL gave me, Knife my best friend had made for me, small Skinner my wife gave me
Bottom, small skinner I bought in Colorado years ago, Hand-me-down skinner that's probably 80-100 years old. I use the one I bought the most as Im afraid of losing any of the others but they've all seen use.
For processing at home I use dexter russel fillet knives.

A couple more I have done.

These two just went to Alaska.

This one was another one I shipped out in October.

Stuff like this reminds me that we really need a HTer shop on this site somewhere so some of you guys can sell you knives, woodwork, art, etc. Randy can charge the buyer a small fee to support the site.

This is a great idea.

These are my EDCs. They have gutted and quartered many animals, even my cow bison.
Made by a local guy here in Laramie.
They have titanium liners and scales, not sure on blade material but light and sharp. Frame locks as well.
As you can see they need a touch up, lol. They did some skinning yesterday.

Nice looking knives guys !

Bought this knife off ebay several years ago to replace my dad's that was stolen from his truck when I was elk hunting back in the seventies. It's a 1930s KaBar somewhat older than Dad's (his had finger grooves in stacked leather handle). A boot repair shop in Havre made the sheath for me last year and hardly charged enough to pay for the leather (Red Wing shop on the main drag at east end of town). I still need to dye it. The knife is easy to sharpen and holds a blade fairly well. Great shape for doing just about everything. I think of Dad everytime I use it.

Here is one I just finished this fall for a fellow Hunt Talk member. He sent me a pic with dimensions and asked that I recreate a knife his granddad made many moons ago.

That knife looks familiar. https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/knife-search-matching-an-heirloom.299498/#post-3024767 I'll be carrying it with me on my cow elk hunt next week.

I just got a DS Barry knife this past hunting season! Great fixed blade for me. Worked well this fall

Kauffman Damascus...

Kauffman Damascus...

View attachment 171078

I know it is a knife thread, but would love to see the rifle, claro or bastogne, superb touch the case hardened shroud, the checkering is nice too, I know from experience how hard it is to do boaderless curves like that! Oh, by the way the flow in the Damascus is exceptional, stabalized birdseye maple for scales?

 

[shrapnel]

I have never been a fan of Mauser actions. They have about a pound of extra steel you don’t need in the bolt. Some of that weight has been eliminated and a thumb safety was installed. This was such a nicely built gun, I bought it anyway and then I had a local gunsmith case color the bolt shroud, grip cap and butt plate. Overall, the gun is exceptional, with the touch of a craftsman that is capable of classic lines and checkering...

 

[shrapnel]

The knife is a testament to the craftsmanship of Dave Kauffman as you can see the consistency of the Damascus in the knife and the grinding of the blade that gives a uniform pattern on the blade. The scales are stabilized burl Box Elder...

Half Face Blades

 

[Birdbander]

I had this one made about a year ago by Stephen Williamson of Bodkin Blades. It turned out a little beefier than I'd hoped. Although it rode my belt during a UP bird camp and Northern Maine hunt its not seen any use. Might find it a new home someday.

Aaron Sybrant custom Hunter. I'm excited to get this hopefully into a Black Bear this month or next!



Another Cross: Boys Hunter in Rams Horn. I didn't think I'd like this but when it was given to me I fell in love. My EDC and I'll be taking it into the mountains for sheep probably since it is so light and sharp.

Lon Humphrey Minigun in Desert Ironwood from my lovely bride and a Strider SnG from a friend (I bought it but he made me one great deal) Love the blade on that Minigun and I'm carrying today as in the knife communities I'm in it is "Wood(scale) Wednesday".

the collection - I have sold 2-3 of these and am Carrying the big Moran Bowie on top for Bear Baiting right now - I may move a couple more here soon and cut this back a little.


And one final one: Two beautiful Sheep Horn Fancy Knives on part of a Moose Backstrap. All knives are workin knives!

And with that I'll be done for now.....

I’ve got this one on order. I’ll get it in Jan. 2026.

awesome, I have a custom coming this fall - me and a buddy are getting identical hunting knives made but that is it for this year probably.

I'd love to get a Randall - hopefully at some point that will work out.

I have never owned a Randall but drool over them nonetheless.

Better get in line. It’s a $50 deposit and it takes 5-6 years. I’m a year or two in on the wait.

I have always been partial to the Woodsman model 28. But they are all gorgeous.
