I'm a fan of canoe style knives - and I'm feeling the urge for a custom. I searched high and low thru this forum (and others) for pictures, and found none. Anybody got a custom canoe knife and willing to post pics and comment on likes and dislikes? Or a link in the right direction? TIA
 
I carry different knives from time to time, but Canoes are a real good fit in the pocket! None better than the old '50's to '70's Case Canoes.
If you get a custom, you want it SLIM, IMO! One backspring only, the essence of Canoe finely distilled!!
 
I don't think i've ever seen a custom canoe. It would be interesting to see one. I'm sure most smiths would be willing to tackle the commission.

One backspring? Great idea!! Thanks!

Yep - I'm getting excited! The hunt starts...
 
Here is a custom canoe that I made about a year ago.

This canoe was made with Chris Marks damascus.
Let me know what you think...
