I'm a knife guy myself. I'm very surprised at the fact that people don't carry pocket knives for the odd job anymore. Growing up, if you DIDN'T carry a pocket knife people wondered what's wrong with you. But today if you do carry one people look at you like you're a criminal of some kind. The world has really changed and in my opinion, not necessarily for the better. We all know who ruined that. At least I do.
the first knife needs to be given to a boy by his grandpa. When I was about 8 years old, my grandpa bought me a pocketknife and I still own it. It works fine. I consider that a much better gift than a computer game. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Germany
I'm doing that with all my niece's and Nephew's giving them a either a pocket knife or full tang. When I gave my 8 year old nephew his first pocket knife he thought it was the coolest thing. Of course I got permission from his mother. She didn't know if he should have one. We ran all the safety and rules. 4 year's later it's just a tool in his pocket he is used to having a pocket knife on him. I carried a pocket knife on me in Elementary school think the rules we couldn't have one but I carried mines anyways this was in the 70s I was 8-9 year's old carried one ever since.
Very Nice to see Someone from the OTHER SIDE of the W🌎RLD GERMANY 🇩🇪 GREAT PIECES I ONLY HAVE ONE from a Long time FRIEND that made it for me from Scratch. He lives in DENTON, TEXAS
Dick Richards hahaha! that's actually a buttonhole but I've gained weight and having a button there just wouldn't work so I had to put some tie tassels on there. 😁
Hey you gotta do what you gotta do brother! Lol thanks buddy, you know i'm just playin'!! love the knives too! I've got the KATZ ALAMO BOWIE crown stag handle knife, look it up you'll love it!!!! lol I do!!!
Right on! Thanks, a little over priced, but what isn't now-a-days!? I have 8 katz knives, that company must love me!! But i also love it right back so.........lol. They are fantastic knives, top shelf all the way!!
Gotta tell ya, I looked all over youtube using various keywords to find this video of yours, but once I did, it was great to see. A beautiful collection of traditional blades.
Thank you for sharing your knife and axe collection that's a really nice collection of knifes and axes. I think the sheeve that come with the knives should be just as intrastine as the knife because that is the first thing people will notice when the knife is still in the sheeve. Thanks again God Bless.
Your collection is awesome and sheat you made... it looks much more higher quality, than many "originals". Very nice job. Btw i do know something about knives and leather.
John Reynolds Thanks John for tuning In. It's definitely a decent tomahawk. I actually got it through Crazy Crow trading-post if you're interested. You can find them online. It's a pretty good value.
@@stevebuckskinner5482 I did too, but did not get my first knife until I was in the Air Force, and it was a Buck 119, and then a Buck 120 after I gave my 119 to my grandfather. I have another model 119 which I got from the Buck store with my name on it. I now have around 16 knives and like them all.
@@stevebuckskinner5482 you welcome.. I'll always follow your channel and love the way of you life.. But l stay in a small country.. Do you know where is malaysia.. At the south east asia.. Between thailand and singapore.
@@Dr.Mancho Sorry it took me awhile to respond to your comment. Yes, I am from Malaysia. I've never been there before but I do know of it. Glad to have you on board with this channel.
Thanks so much for viewing! Glad you like the collection. So do I. LOL! However, the one knife is a copy of a Bagwell Bowie made by Ontario. I'm sure you got that. It is a cool knife and it has a lot of sentimental meaning for me as well because it was my uncle's. God bless!
@@stevebuckskinner5482 It would make a good hog sticker, but maybe that aught to be a few generations down the line when civilisation is gone. For now it's too pretty for all that.
Steve I have to say that is a beautiful collection and it is not very often that I see the creator of a video that is almost a year old come back and comment
Thank you so much Mark! I got to say it has been my most popular video by far. A lot of knife Lovers out there. Thanks for stopping in! And thanks for the kind words!
Nice collection of blades you have. I'm partial to good steel myself, but mainly I collect by how they balance and feel in my hand being as I'm a fairly big man with big hands. Smaller knives don't appeal to me and I'm not very comfortable with a knife without a cross guard on it. I feel that if the knife slips in my grip I could injure myself. My preference for what it's worth.
Everybody has their own personal preferences. I have somewhat of an eclectic taste and knives. But by and large, I like for them to be old west or Frontier type knives. Thanks a lot for viewing!
...........I had to sub on that video, Brother...........I love a great collection of Bowie knives and hawks, don't all have to be collectors items.........just that you were entusiastic enough to add them to the collection..............The best to ya........!!!
Greg Knight Thanks Greg! Glad you came on board. I'm a long-haul truck driver so I don't get a chance to video and sometimes when I get home the weather's not too cooperative. But I have some other ones that I want to get done and get out. So stay tuned brother. God bless!
didn't expect to hear post falls mentioned in here. I happen to live there. kinda cool. I'm always looking for some cool mountain man stuff or that I can make it fit into the mountain man idea. I happen to kind of do that with an old cold steel trail master I came across that was all rusted up so it has some pits but I think it gave it character.
Demon Dreamer Right over by the Flying J truck stop and the McDonald's, there is a place there called Treasure Town. It is a kind of indoor flea market or consignment store. I bought a few things there. Theres a section in that store were they have knives and a couple of tomahawks. Right now all of that spectacular stuff is 50% off.
Hey Steve, so you say your biggest tomahawk there was from crazy crow, I've gotten a buckskin gun sheath/case from there, I also have gotten my buckskin from there for my moccasins---- I'll do some vids on them once it's dried up outside, don't want them to get wet!
Wow i love the american Bowie knife ! In France we just have Opinel and Laguiole knife ... Very ugly . But your knife collection is beautiful and the family story with it 👌 ( sorry for the fault)
Wow thank you so much! I appreciate the compliments. BTW..... I love Opinel knives! I love the simplicity and the quality it goes into those knives. I got one for me, my brother and my nephew. Thank you so much for viewing and there's nothing to be sorry for. God bless!
Just caught on to your website will I was looking for handmade Bowies, from what I can tell you are definitely the real kind of guy to ask about mountain man stuff. If I ever have any questions I asked you about them soon?
Definitely not my style of knife. Beautiful collection none the less. Great bud. All of my knives are either mora, blind horse, or a custom at this point. Sold off the bark rivers, Ka-Bars, etc. Sometimes a traditional knife is all we need. Be well.
I love Bowie knives, but by all accounts, the original was not a clip point. In an interview with a newspaper, Rezin Bowie said the original knife had a nine inch lone, perfectly straight blade. Jim Bowie had nine copies of his knife made by a company in Sheffield, England, and records show that they, too, had a nine inch long, perfectly straight blade. The clip point came into Texas by way of Mexico, and soon became the standard for Bowie knives across the country, but this was well after Bowie's death at the Alamo. But tell someone you want a Bowie knife made that has a nine inch long, perfectly straight blade, and they act like you're crazy. Anyway, you have one of the most beautiful collection of knives I've seen. Just fantastic.
You are absolutely correct. The so-called fighting knives of that day were more like butcher knives. Some of them quite fancy looking but your knives. But most every one recognizes the clip Point as a Bowie. I've always loved the shape of the clip point knives but I have come to really appreciate the more standard Full Tang Bushcraft/Long Hunte/mountain man straight spine and drop point knives. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing you're knowledge. God bless!
proper blades like these are too expensive or too difficult to get here in eastern europe, so i started making my own. they are not as refined as the ones you own, but hell they still do their job.
I've been very fortunate to receive some of these blades. But I definitely know what you mean. When I was younger, I just didn't have the money to get these kind of knives so I made my own. Many of these were given to me. Very blessed!! Thanks for viewing and Blessings to you!!

Thanks so much for viewing snd commenting. I myself carry a 3 blade Case knife and a small fixed blade everyday. God bless!!
I actually like your beater camping knife best but very cool collection I plan to make it to a rendezvous one day soon
God Bless
Thanks so much for dropping in. I really liked that knife myself. I wound up making a new sheath for it and gifted it to my Nephew.
Love the Early Mountain Man trapper knives and Hawks🇺🇸
