Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

I use linseed oil on my finish knife. I want to mount it in my bed so it'll be exposed to the elements and even with proper oiling and care it's still gonna have some issues. I live on the beach so rust is a huge issue and its going to get rained on and such. That's why I was leaning towards a composite or plastic handle and have my buddy make a kydex sheath? Is that what there called for axes too? Either way I'd like to keep it locked up in a toolbox or to a bed bar and forget about it until I need it but that might not be the best option at this point

 

Fiskars X27

 

I think that's what I'll get. I was hoping for something more boutique but it'll fit better for my use and they have a lifetime warranty

 

Boutique = wood handle. Fiskars is a great axe for what it is.

 

I love the way linseed oil smells lol. It works great on leather too

 

Try BLO. Make sure it's boiled linseed oil, not raw linseed oil.

 

Yeah idk what I was expecting lol

 

This is the only knife I have that isn't in my truck outside.
BHK/CC Woodcrafter. BHK (Blind Horse Knives) has since became LT Wright Knives and Battle Horse Knives. Should have a custom in hand this time next year, similar to this and similar to a Skookum Bush Tool.

 

I wish I had a collection like that

My only notable knives are my opinels my two crkts my rei spyderco and my one off I picked up in Finland that's amazing

 

Interesting. I'll have to try that. I liked that the linseed keeps it slightly shiney but doesn't leave it wet or sticky

 

Pic of Finnish knife? Hope its a puukko.

 

All of mine but the spyderco gets used. My finish knife is getting a custom kydex edc sheath soon that I'm hella excited about. There's an awesome orvis benchmade out right now that I'm thinking about but I can't bring myself to by an even remotely Tacticool knife. I like wood handles too much

 

The only pic I've got. I posted up earlier in the thread a different pic. I picked it up from a knife maker off the street in Helsinki who's father made them. Curly birch and raindeer bone handle

 

TBH, the best part of them is the Axis lock. Not any better than a Spydie of similar build, IMO.

I want a Ritter grip, anyway.

 

That's beautiful. Any initials from the maker, or a sheath?

 

The sheath is raindeer leather with roughly burnt hoof prints on it

 

Is that patina or rust on the bevel?

Cool knife! Now you need a leuku.

 

Here it is

 

Forced patina from mustard. I was playing with it because it's hand made there isn't any form of rust prevention on it

 

Traditional sheath. Love it. What'd you pay?
