Hi Guys, I have a knife that I purchased a few years ago that is hand scribed on the blade," Handcrafted by H A Beauchamp". I found a G Beauchamp custom maker. Is this the same maker or possibly a coincidence? I can post pics as this knife is very similar to the G Beauchamp with a nice scrimshaw Eagle and mirror polished blade.

Thanks for any input.  Mike

So, after I got all the parts in the mail, which took about a week, it was time for assembly. I wish now I had taken pics of the assembly process, but I didn't. Oops.

One of the hardest parts of assembling this figure was the head; it didn't fit exactly right onto the neck joint, so I had to take my trusty exacto knife and trim around the inside of the head.  I tell ya what, cutting onto a $30 head sculpt wasn't my idea of fun. After a bit of trimming, the head fit pretty well. I…

As many of my closer friends on here know, I'm a huge fan of The Punisher. For those who don't know, The Punisher is a comic book character (from Marvel Comics). To make a long story short, Frank Castle's family is killed by the mob, so he takes it upon himself to clean up the streets and exterminate any criminal he comes across, becoming the Punisher. 

The comic book series has been on going for four decades and there have been three films made. The first, in 1989, starring Dolph…

So many places to get a deal on a knife. You have the internet so of course you can go to eBay or you can go to your local walmart or hardware dealer. You can even get deals on knives at the flea market. You can even get deals from knife shows on t.v.or even better yet you can get a custom knife made for you the way you want it. Right here on iKC where some of the best knife makers in the world. I like custom knifes and the factory ones. When I buy I like to put in my hand, see what they feel… Continue

I made this from all leftovers (apart from the sheath), and it made me wonder. Does anyone else recycle/re-use/fiddle around with leftovers like I tend to do?

I cant' stand it. I must be allergic, cause I've got the itch- really bad.



It's like walking through Kudzu here at iKC. Well, the truth is it's not the kudzu that makes me itch- it's the Chiggers (red bugs) living in Kudzu and they eat me alive. They make me itch like crazy. Well, it's not iKC that makes me itch either- it's the knives on display here.

It’s been so hearting to see folks here on iKC who for 50 years or more have collected knives. I watch Versus Network and the Outdoor Channel and they have Cabalas, Mossy Oak and other corporate sponsored teen hunts and – God Bless them, Bass Pro Shops have seminars for youth. It’s a fact not an argument that hunting has saved the American Turkey and it’s created a healthier whitetail population with proper management. It’s also the same for most migratory birds too. It’s the passion behind the… Continue

One of the all time favorite interviews I have had the opportunity to conduct was with legendary knifemaker Tony Bose. Tony is so easy to talk with and his colorful way of expressing himself made it a true pleasure.



I hope you will take some time to listen in on his interview. Tony tells us why he started making knives, in addition to candid advice for aspiring knife makers. He also provides an insider’s perspective on the custom knife market and today’s… Continue

My blood is boiling. This whole thing about the restricting of "permitted knives" is really making me mad now.



I recently posted over at CutleryNewsJournal about what will happen if the will of the people is to restrict knives- I'm talking about the majority of Americans- to the point Congress doesn't fight this left-wing attack on our rights.



Well, now, the… Continue
