While I'm showing off my Evan Martin knives in my other thread I decided to take a group shot of some of my "nicer" knives. Not high end by any means for the most part but each holds signifigance to me.
Starting in the center and going counter clockwise we have:
Dave Barrier (knifemaker from MS) neck knife
Gerber LMF (think that's the model. Its old) these two were given to me by my best bud.
Under the gerber is an old case skinner a friend gave me years ago for a favor I did for him. Shortly there after he moved and we kinda lost touch. This is a reminder of the friendship we had.
Then a knife my daughter gave me for fathers day last year. Dad helped her. They used a blank he got from Jantz and she helped him mark and cut the handle, rivet and glue it on and sand it down. He did the final polishing but says she did a lion's share of the work. I'm most proud of this one!!
To the right at the bottom is a Buck Skinner. Dad had one when I was growing up and it got lost. I bought him one just like this for Christmas and had forgotten how much I liked it until I got it in my hand. Then a few months ago I was at Bass Pro and saw they had this one clearanced because it had no sheath or box. Got it cheap enough. Now we both have one like I grew up using cleaning out the deer dad would bring home.
The last two are my Evan Martin customs. I've kinda gotten to know Evan and enjoy his friendship and really like his work so I try to do my part by supporting his business. Its great quality so I feel we both win.
Anyway like I said. Nothing special other than each has a special meaning to me. Hope ya enjoy looking.
