[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2066240, member: 91783"] We all have our favorite knife and the reasons why we like it so much . I have a small collection of knives folders and fixed blade knives , my grand dad has been gone for over 45 years but I still have his small Case stockman style folding or pocket knife it's still sharp as a razor and rust free . I don't ever use it , for obvious reasons , but I keep it oiled on the blades and hinge pins . Around forty years ago I wanted a small but sturdy fixed blade knife for use on my trapline . So I knew a guy that put knives together and talked with him as to what I wanted in a knife and what I was going to do with it . He got a blade blank from Norway that was a laminate made it into a knife blade like I had talked with him about , put a brass finger guard and pommel on it with an elk antler handle made a sheath for it I paid him 35.00 took it home and did a little work on the handle by putting finger grooves in it for a better grip in case I had to use it in wet conditions . The blade is 3/32 thick , 1 inch wide and 4 1/2 inch's long . The steel in the blade is so hard that you can't touch it with a file so it takes some stone work to put an edge on it but once you do it's sharp for at least dressing out two elk . That knife is still on my gun belt after all these years of use and will probably go to my grandson along with the 22 long rifle H&R 9 shot revolver when I decide I'm done with them . [/QUOTE]
