Survivors: other knives you like

The one with Mammoth Tooth handle was a Busse LE Badger Atac and the guys at Custom Shop did an amazing job on that one . Unfortunately i do not own the knife anymore . Now the second one which I still own is a Busse NMFSH ( Nuclear Meltdown Fusion Steel Heart ) Made the same at Busse Custom Shop with a gorgeous harpoon style spine .

The variety of custom features really is staggering! Thanks for the extra information. I love the look and materials of each of those blades.

Also thanks for spelling out the entirety of the model names. I still get a bit lost, but having the alphabet soup written out is a very good start for me :thumbup:
 
Preordered an ESEE 6 HM today, very much looking forward to it.

That new 6 looks downright comfy! Seems to be a perfect candidate for stripping and a hot vinegar bath!!

Looks like my modded rt on steroids.

What does that HM stand for? I have never been too fond of that black cerakoting (or whatever that it is called) but I bet that with some careful stripping and vinegar dipping, it could be a gorgeous and impressive "cheaper" roster knife. I may want to wait to see the results before I dive into a Lionsteel T5! Hmmm!
 
I want to say HM is for handle modification, but I feel like it's something I could be very wrong about.

I really like the style of that ESEE, but I wish it had something, anything between the handle and the edge of the blade.
 
Thats what it means! I looked it up. After using the LT Wright Northern hunter I have really started to like handles shaped like the HM6 and the Northern Hunter
 
That reminds me of the one on the left. Super comfortable.



If I didn't already have knives coming out of my ears I'd probably give that esee a serious look.

Nearly a dead ringer for that Wilson :thumbup: I agree on the handle comfort, the one I posted above is the most comfortable of any knife I own. My daughter has been trying to get it from me for a long time, so I may have to see if one of the 3 or 4 hms work for her.

Just ordered my first two Survive! knives, so hopefully soon I can add them to the lineup.
 
Very cool, ATJ! On my phone the pic is pretty small, also I lead a very sheltered life. If you get a chance I'd love to see a written list of what you have!
 
I live on a farm, and use those more than my folders. They are my tools in battle against bamboo and blackberries that spread like weeds. Along with countless other growth and other tasks.

C3 knives 3V machete
Unknown custom machete my dads Vietnam buddy made him when they got back. That thing is tough as nails, holds a great edge too.
C3 knives slimline 3V machete. He through in a free 4.5 inch 3V fixed blade for me to test. Very cool of him.(not pictured)
Robert Martin at Tearsofthesword 3V slimline machete. My favorite by far! Puts the T in Tough!! I ordered another non-tanto which should be here this month. He also threw in a free smaller fixed blade on the house, which is awesome of him. Great guy! Does full customs.
Carothers Delta 3V light chopper. great chopper.
Schrade 7 inch Frontier. Best knife you can get for under 30 bucks. Amazing deal for the money, very well made with a great HT!
Bradford knives Guardian 6
Carothers Delta 3V Field knife

That is it....So far.
 
IMG_6298.JPG IMG_6349.JPG I just received a Blackfeather Woodsman from one of my clients that I've done a lot of work for.
It's an impressive build in O1 steel with barbwire micarta scales and orange liners.
 
^^^ Very bushcrafty akin to the older Blind Horse knives which also utilized O1 steel, but I dig the contoured handle scales on this knife much more :thumbsup:
