ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

That looks nice, I like it! I wonder if they make it with D2 steel and titanium frame

Yep … one of my favorite Bushcraft blades … great knife for the price. Highly recommended.

maybe not? :smiling_imp: (but certainly a good knife!)

The Terävä Jääkäripuukko is ~33€ (yes, without the sheath and postage fee)

Hi
I saw this picture in an earlier post. Can someone tell me which Ganzo the 1st knife is (Smallest one). Plus does it come in any other finishes…. I like it a lot.
Many Thanks ………… :+1: :beer:

One on the top is a Ganzo F753M.

Another version with green scales … great little knife.

why is the sheeth so wide? To function as a spade? Seems its taking up un-needed real estate….unless im missing something

Talking about post #3109

I’m guessing to fit a TEK-LOK onto the rear side? (rear not shown in the photos)

Ya, it looks nice. But no love for the black surface finish.

I built this custom Kydex sheath so I could attach the knife to my backpack via MOLLE points. Oh yea … and to shovel snow.

Really nice work!

.

I recently picked up a few sheets of kydex T to try my hand at some sheath creations.

I also want to make a flashlight sheath similar to this:

Wow, what a sheath!, a bit wide but i like a lot.

My question was if it is the best bushcraft knife for the price in chinese brands. Anyway, we would must to see wich is the best, strenght, steel, ergonomy, sheath, thickness, full tang etc.

nice stuff guys. where do you get kydex, and is it hard to work with?

So it looks like there is something available now: link
I might pull the trigger and give it a try.

That one looks promising. It even uses the same stones as the Ruixin Pro.

Yes it does.
There is another similar one that can be found on AE if you look for KME but it uses different stones, similar clamping to the KME but not sure the stones are compatible with the originals.
In any case, I would probably go with the one that uses the Ruixin stones as they seem to be more widely available.

I got mine here: Tandy Leather — Tandy Leather, Inc.

They also have the “Boltaron Black Graphite” that looks like carbon fiber:

I bought my kydex sheets at one of their retail stores near me, it was on sale last month for about 50% off!
They also have the metal and plastic clips, plus rivets, screws etc.
But they don’t have the Phillips head Chicago screws so I’m looking at amazon or ebay for those. (or a knife making supply co.)

I also see there’s a lot of the Kydex sheets on ebay.

.

I can’t really say how easy it is to work with because this will be my first time and I haven’t got around to it yet. You heat it with a heat gun or in an oven, I was told the heat gun method was best, and after it’s heated if forms rather easily. But there will be a learning curve I’m sure, plus the cutting, drilling, riveting and and dressing the edges etc.

Also at the Tandy leather store they offer learning classes for sheath making, both leather and kydex, so I’ll be signing up for those as well.

.
In addition to some knife sheaths I’m hoping to make some flashlight holsters similar to these:

Anyone collecting axe?
I just ordered this multifunctional axe. A bit expensive than what i used to spent on sharp toys.

Nice Axe! Can you post a link? I wasn’t able to find it anywhere with google.

.

I only have a few, one is a Vietnam Tomahawk axe, it looks just like the Cold Steel reproduction in the photo below, but I believe mine is genuine US Military issue from the 1960’s designed and made in Ebensburg Pa, not far from the garage sale where I found it!

The Axe has a long history:

.

The second one I own is the Timberline Alaskan Axe / Knife Combo:
It an extremely thick heavy duty “shorty” Axe with a double sheath.

I’ve also been interested in this one (around $45) I really like the large square knurling handle, plus because it’s a hollow handle with survival kit inside, the knurled cap on the bottom unscrews, and also has a compass inside the cap like the hollow handle survival knives. (I have an original Buck 184 Buckmaster bought in the 1980’s, and a collection of 1980’s Made in Japan copies of it)

Only I’m reluctant to buy one for that price because it’s 440 steel and made by M-Tech.
