Neck Knives
Posted on May 4, 2013 at 12:56 10 Comments 5 Likes
Knife users find all kinds of ways to carry their knives. Belt sheaths, loose in the pocket, knives with clips to hold the knife in or outside of the pocket, shoulder rigs, well the list goes on and on. Our forefathers, of yesteryear, wore neck knives. The knife sheath was held in place by a lanyard or some sort of necklace. I recently saw a survival expert on TV wareing one for his Bushcraft knife. The knife was a fixed blade, about 8" overall lenth. I have carried a knife in alot of…

Vintage Knives

I collect Vintage Knives and I'm sure alot of our members do too. It's fun collecting knives from the yester years. Some we have heard how well they were made and their performance in the feild was hard to beat. The old time construction and the amount of labor put into each one is hard to match in the knife world today. My question for ya'll is "Has anyone bought a vintage knife with a great reputation, to become a user knife". I would like to buy one of the old time knives of our…

KnifeMakerJ. Mutz Knives said… Hey Robert. Good luck with that. I've never made any home brew so I can't offer any advise but I'm one heck of a critic. LOL. In case you didn't catch that, it was my subtle way of saying "hey, pass some my way!" Guess I'll need to plan on doing the next knife show that pops up in LA. Talk to you soon, Jeff

Yes ...I have been fortunate I have a gentleman who is a friend...that lives in Dawson Creek BC...that has buffalo and lets me know when he needs a few animals taken out of his herd...I am actually waiting for him to notify me to when he needs more taken...hopefully within the next month or two...maybe... as long as the critters behave! There was 7 in the back of my truck picture...3 calves...3cows and 1 bull...we made them fit all in...my truck is a 1ton..which helps...lol
