Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

[Jack Black]

I picked up this Manly Patriot a few years back. I like the knife, and consider it a bargain, but as anyone who has one will know, the sheath is rubbish. I'd like to get a leather sheath for it eventually, but in the meantime, I've done my best to make the original sheath more useful

Your sheath mods look very serviceable, Jack! I have a Manly folder which I bought solely because it was in my favorite steel, CPM-S90V stainless. It's a terrific blade, but the action is pretty weird: it has about 4 distinct "half" stops! Kind of like a Colt single action, click, click, click, cocked. My two most recent fixed blades were an oldie and a newbie.

Western 702 from the early 1970s,

and an Albers in canvas micarta.

Thank you Jeff The Patriot is in D2, I've not tried any of the Manly folders, unfortunately importing anything from Europe has got a lot more expensive this year That's a funny action comparison I remember reading that about the Manly folders somewhere, sounds kind of odd. Those are two beauties my friend

I like the octopus mod, but are they fixed blades?

 

[Hickory n steel]

I've posted this old AC.CO 6" butcher before, but today I did some work on it.
There was a significant recurve sharpened into the edge as well as a decent amount of steel sharpened away so I was going to modify / repurpose it because I can't remember the last time I reached for it in the kitchen, but I straightened the edge and sort of felt like I had completely breathed new life back into it so I just sharpened it and will hopefully use it more now.


It originally came to me with a sheath made by it's original owner who probably used it hunting, I tried making a sheath and carrying it but just found it too large for EDC.

Quite jolly; it is available if anyone kneeds one for farm, kitchen, field or man cave.

Or pirate ship!
