My new Weibe fleshing knife. It works really nice. Just fleshed a fat coon with it.

Nice looking knife Bill. I like the shape of it. Looks like it would make a good all around camp knife. Some day I'd like to have a custom beaver skinner made.
I will hook you up, post pictures or drawings, with measurements. Plus the width of your hand. I would be glad to.

I have another knife that may be of interest.
It is nearly identical to the folding knife with flashlight and firestarter that I pictured earlier . . . except that this one is made of real Damascus steel (not a pattern printed on the knife), and is assisted opening with a spring.
The knife came with the ballistic nylon case and a lint-free cleaning cloth.
I did find that the magnet that holds the flashlight inside the knife was very weak, so I used a tiny bit of Gorilla Glue to permanently cement it in there. The front bulb can be scewed out to replace the batteries.
I also used a little thread locker to keep the ferrocerium fire rod inside the knife, as it felt a little loose.
Otherwise, a great bargin.

Last week I bought a Cold Steel machete. It was cheap, probably made in China, although I couldn't find any markings that said that. It was pretty dull and had to sharpen it. It'll do what I need it for.

I also just got another knife that I ordered from the Buck custom shop.
It's a folding 110 with stag sides. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Found this in the back of a drawer. A Schrade+ pocket knife from back when Schrade was a reputable knife maker in the US.
Made in USA.

This is the knife.
And after this, I'm done buying knives. I have too many.

I've got several knives that look exactly the same, I use one daily, but they are all unbranded.

That's nice. I may have to get one for myself. Is it really possible to have too many knives? I don't think so.
That's a beaut, Kevin!
Picture is too small to make out anything.
A "twofer" - Two folding hunters.
The top knife is a Winchester folding hunter. Doesn't say where it was made, all it says is "Winchester" and "Stainless" and that's all I know about it. I have no recollection of ever buying this. It looks old but my memory of it doesn't go back very far.
The bottom is an odd duck. It is actually a K-Mart brand knife made in Japan! Yes, back in their "glory days" K-Mart had their own brand of knives that were unique. Somewhere around here I also have a K-Mart sheath knife.
I didn't realize how un-ergonomic this thing was, but it is very uncomfortable to use as a skinner, and you have to carry it in a belt sheath because the handle is massive and bulky. "Unique" can be good, but in this case it missed the mark.
The K-Mart sheath knife, however (also made in Japan of some pretty darned good steel) was a different story. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find it.
