Any idea what the 2 knives are at the bottom? The ones that appear to be wrapped in para cord?

Thanks

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Love fixed blades. Just love 'em. Even more so for Bowies.

Thank you sir !
I make these knives from 3" small game blades, to 4 1/2" hunters/skinners, to 8/14" bowies, all out of Cholla Cactus wood from here in West Texas, to Elk from NM, and Wyoming. Whatever the customer wants, actually, I make it.

Just another hobby to add to the list.

Thanks again.

How do them Cholla Cati handle hold up? Seems like a natural for grip. Lots of em' round these parts too. I may give that a whirl just ta see.

Hard as a stinkin brick ! We take the dead ones, and they go through dozens of sanding process's, then when everything is fit to the teeth, and we are ready to "set" the blade in the handle, I use a particular medium for this, that is sronger than a freight train, (so to speak), and then more sandings, down to 1500/2400 grit, 7/10 coats of tung oil over a 7/8 day period, everything is hand fitted to the nth degree as much as possible.

I messed on up once for a customer, and had to "take it down after the hardening process in the center. Took a giant shop vice, a hammer, and other tools to bust off the handle, and start again.... It is as dense as bodark almost, and very strong, (the cholla wood). (picked up in the correct time and condition).

Heck i twisted my ankle once up on top of one of the 7,000 ft mountains on the ranch, and picked up a little 3ft piece of dead cholla about as big around as a quarter, and it never split or cracked, getting my 200# frame all the way down the mountain, using it as a cane, over rock and you name it.

I left out a good deal of the process, but no need in making this a book !

I will say, it takes me about 36/45 hours, to build one knife.

Nice REKATs! I used to have a Sifu but sold it. I'd love to own a Pocket Hobbit some day.

Two of my Randalls. The others are in the safe in NC.

The Model 14 has been all over the world for more than 15 years.

The Model 5 only has one hunting season of use.

The Applegate is in my opinion the best "tactical" (whatever the hell than really means) folder you can buy. Flame away, but I had one for 9 years until I though I lost it and had to go buy another. You can not rub the titanium nitride finish off that blade and the 154cm steel is fantastic.

When I thought I lost the Applegate I was deployed and told my wife to go buy me another one. She let the salesman talk her into the Emerson that is pictured and I have been abusing it ever since. I hate knives that are sharpened on only one side.

Anyway until the replacement Applegate arrived I was forced to use a coupld of Benchmade auto folders that I was issued. I am not a big fan of benchmade. They are ok, but nothing spectacular.

Then, the must own Spyderco's. I have a Military and a Para-Military that I got as gifts, but just can't stop carrying that Applegate.

**bennwj** · 01-01-2009, 19:38

A couple of the Jumpmaster Knives I have been issued.

I do not like the SOG that much. I especially dislike the sheath. The portion where it attaches to your belt or gear is hard plastic and there are two snaps on the back that have a bad habit of coming off. To secure it to your gear you need to use zip ties. I also had a sheath break in the cold. SOG did replace it for free though.

The Benchmade is a great knife. Solid, holds an edge and on top of that it was free. Can't beat that......
