Knives - Show 'em
The other knife topic got me thinking... I bet lots of people have really nice knives that they're quite proud of. So let's see them!
I'll start. This is not my best or most treasured knife, but I love it for the craftsmanship. My friend Brian Schuch made it, he teaches Lithic skills, living off the grid and using natural materials. This has a carved bone handle, he knapped the Alaskan obsidian blade (that stuff is rare as an honest politician) and he made the "twine" out of stinging thistle stems and the pitch is from evergreen trees. He made a sheath out of tanned salmon skin.
(EDIT: sorry, the pictures were reduced to a blurry mess when I attached them. These are better)

The AK bayonet was a gift from DancesWithSheep .. .. .. and I just realized this isn't the sort of knives the OP had in mind.

Great craftsmanship and a handsome knife
I agree a work of art to be proud of
As for me I have a few dozen give or take common knives nothing worthy of bragging about
One was my grandfather's and a few were dads just sentimental value same knives could easy be found for 20.00 or less but will pass them along as family heirlooms
I hope the following generations will think of the owners not the value

One thing that bugs me about that knife... someone spent a LOT of time carving that piece of bone, and to repurpose it for a knife handle seems sorta... I dunno. I think I know where it came from.
Here's another, an elder with the tribe from Shishmaref carved this one. See any similarities?

A couple more favorites. My friend Jens Klaar made the first, the next is my granddad's daily carry Marbles when he was a Ranger in Yellowstone, the last is another obsidian piece.

No knives, but I have these. Dug in the area of Fort Ticonderoga back in the 1930's. The top one's French with the mark of the Tulle arsenal. The bottom one is British , marked with the British Ordnance arrow. It also has the initials J M on the side of the head. The shafts are contemporary.

Actually. dad brought them home. He was on a British tug at Juno during D-day. Strange place for a small town Iowa boy.

I should change the name of this topic to Edged Weapons... those are some good looking axes.
I have a damascus Norwegian bearded axe and some old climbing ice axes too. It's all good.

Try clicking a photo and see if it gives you the link to the external site, then click the link to load the photo off my server. If that works then the rest should be working.
Or maybe your coal powered computer needs an upgrade? 🤣
