One is a Gerber survival knife - they quit making it some years ago. The other two are made by Harvey King from Alta Vista KS. I've got the <A HREF="http://www.harveykingknives.com/knife_gallery.htm" REL="nofollow">Small Game and Model #2</A>. The pics on his site don't do them justice - they are hand fitted and polished, red liners under the scales, and custom made sheaths. Needless to say, they are sharp and keep an edge.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740045057705137075.post-66750684081367707552008-04-30T09:36:00.000-07:002008-04-30T09:36:00.000-07:00I like them all, though the US issue bayonet the l...I like them all, though the US issue bayonet the least. It is better than the crappy one they issue now, the one with the wire cutter built into the sheath. <BR/><BR/>That thing falls apart like a two dollar watch with every use. Your boot knife is the perfect size for day-to-day. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy knives, and have one in my pocket every moment I'm wearing clothes. I have been seriously considering picking up a fixed blade sized for everyday carry. Folders are great for utility, but will never be serious for a self defense tool considering they have to be opened under stress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544360303504618447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740045057705137075.post-60308649816522287282008-04-29T06:09:00.000-07:002008-04-29T06:09:00.000-07:00A very nice blade, and they say they are just down...A very nice blade, and they say they are just down the road from where I mow my lawn, will have to drive by this morning. Don't think that anyone can kill that fine a knife, they will be around when the next species takes over. Yep, you could use it as a fighter, Jim Bowie would have - may you have much less demand on it.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794620086508373660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740045057705137075.post-86604590774775439062008-04-28T16:26:00.000-07:002008-04-28T16:26:00.000-07:00My favorite fixed blade wasn't intended as a fight...My favorite fixed blade wasn't intended as a fighter, but could probably be used as such. It's a McCann Industries <A HREF="http://www.gokart.net/shop-utopia/mccann/knives/puffin/puffin.html" REL="nofollow">Puffin Magnum</A>. I paid just over $100 for mine some years back; it was the very one that Kim Breed couldn't kill in his test for <I>BLADE</I> magazine. Despite having been put through testing hell and several hard years of use since then, it's still holding up fine. I loves it.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.com
