That's an Aussie version of a Gerber mk1 which is a brilliant bit of gear

thanks mate as you can see the blade has been butchered before i got it
its going to take a lot of work

I've still got an original Gerber mk1 with the black blade that was given to me about 25 years ago when over in the states

i like gerber had them when i served
see lots of blades out there
some are worth more then money

 

[Bjay]

one of my works in progress . Almost done.

 

[7.62marksman]

Like to see it when its finished

 

[Bjay]

Unfortunately the flowing form of the blade has been compromised a little by my reckless behavior of trying to see how strong it is. Needs a bit more re shaping .

 

[7.62marksman]

Still looks nice
i will have to stop being lazy and get into mine

 

[Bjay]

To tell the truth I haven't touched it for a month or so. The little drop point and the flat bellys not supposed to be there.actually spent more time and I think I enjoyed it more making the handle. Blackwood with polished aluminum nut cracker.

my deer hunting knife. She has had a lot of use

 

[Daggy]

This is my main kitchen knife, it's made from an antique chainsaw bar.
It leaves stainless for dead as far as sharpening goes. Put it to the stone every couple of months and steel it once a week.
The handle scales are black wattle that I cut from the back yard.

Heres The ones that I use regularly

From the top is my most used knife when prospecting, Australian army Issue Machete,, for peeling fruit :lol: Next one down is my hunting Knife for peeling large animals, A good mate made and gave me this for my fortyth. It takes & holds an edge real well. The Lock blade folder is a Buck. I dont use this one much anymore as I find that its very hard to put a shave sharp edge on and its a bit small in the hand. The little twin blade folder is a cheapy that I wouldn't be too upset if I lost but its just handy. And the last one is my filleting knife made by Mora of sweden from High carbon non stain 9180, Best filleting knife Ive ever owned. :Y:

 

[7.62marksman]

looks good mate but with a picture like yours i would have thought more of a knife like this one for pealing fruit ] ] ] ] ]

 

[Mackka]

Nah mate that's a potato peeler. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[jethro]

I thought it was for clipping Camels toenails.

 

[Daggy]

This started as someone taking interest in a machete that I made out of an old Stihl bar, to me being commissioned to make two of these (one large and one small).
They were made for the importer of tsumura chain bars, this is the smaller one.

now thats a knife

 

[GypsyGoldAu]

Thanks guys...guess i'll just bite the bullet and sort it out so i can start using it again.Cheers

Did some research and found a guy to do it for $7....pfhht..for that i will get him to edge up my multi while he's at it... :Y:

Then when i get it back, hit the polisher on it to bring the brass back to life...
