Shelly Crittendon, artifacts and exhibits manger, holds up a 17-inch 1830s #Bowie knife donated to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame Museum, in Waco, Texas. The knife's scabbard gives a tantalizing sign of its true significance. Engraved in a flowery script are the words: "R.P. Bowie to Capt. Wm. Y. Lacey." That would be Rezin Pleasant Bowie, Jim Bowie's big brother, who helped popularize the Bowie knife in the 1830s and was known for giving them as gifts.

Please tell me there is a high-quality analogue to this knife

lemm.ee/post/50529080

lemm.eePlease tell me there is a high-quality analogue to this knife - lemm.eeThis is a VERY cheaply built knife, so much so that it’s barely worth keeping, let alone carrying. There’s not even a pocket clip on it. BUT, this combination of form and features is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for (with a tip-up clip, that is) in a daily carry folder. The handle and finger protection is there, the blade and handle length fit a perfect middle ground for fighting and practicality, it even has a fuckin Emerson style wave that they don’t even bother advertising. Unlike most wave openers, this one is set VERY far back, is slightly oversized, and doesn’t have anything forward of it (discs, pegs, etc) to prohibit getting your full blade length. So if this wasn’t so GODDAMN TRASH, I would call it perfect. I haven’t seen anything yet, but if there is a brand-name, high(er)-quality knife that is basically this, PLEASE let me know.

Things I wish I knew about knife sharpening years ago:

- Skip the cheap Amazon no name whetstones and get Naniwa Basic double sides stones. 400x1000 and 1000x3000. 1000 will be the most used.
- The Naniwa stones need a lot of warming up before initial use, so steel plate and carbon powder 60 and 180. Also used to keep stones flat, though they wear super slow.
- Store the steel plate somewhere super dry to avoid rust.


Knife sharpening gear laid out of stainless steel work service.

I'm currently working on two new utility #knives . One of which is a commission.
I'm trying to make through-bristles.
The top one is not hardened yet, it's #sandwich #steel. If you look closely, you'll see that on the cutting line there's a different grade of steel...

J'essaye de faire des soies traversantes. Celui du haut n'est pas encore trempé, il s'agit d' #acier #sandwich. Si on regarde bien on voit que sur la ligne de coupe il y a une nuance d'acier différente..
