Also I've never seen a puma bootknife variant, that knife should command some good money. That's a nice piece. Thanks.
I don't know if the War Bird was ever in a movie or not. I just liked it and had a chance to buy it for the right price from an estate sale.
I've had that Puma for over 45 years. Bought it brand new in '77 for $60.
I've had the two Gerbers and the Japanese Browning in that pic for about as long as the Puma.
The Browning was my EDC for years, but they're worth too much for me to carry it every day now. I'm currently working on a similar design to replace it with. Ordering the G10 and mosaic pin material either tonight or tomorrow.

Sweet deal. Please Do show us your work when you are finish with it. I like G10 but that stuff is harder than steel, that stuff really eats up a bandsaw blade in a few cuts.
My neck knife/ crossdraw EDC knife I'm going to build is going to be G10 handle as well. I got some wild! black,white, & blaze orange layered G10 for my next few projects. Feel free to share all you want. Thanks.

I found that knife stuck in a beam in an old bard that has all but fallen down out in the middle of nowhere. It had been there a while and was showing its age.I like that grungy old bowie in the middle... that speaks to me.... Nice Collection
I'll post it when it's done, but don't hold your breath or anything, because I've got so many irons in the fire that I hardly know what direction I'm going in. Paying work has priority, and this time of year my schedule often changes from hour to hour.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got cookin'. Maybe it will inspire me to do more with this hobby.

Here is 3 of 5 knives I'm currently working on to go to New York to a knife shop to be offered for sale. A lot of people tell me I'm too cheap on my knife prices. But I'm not trying to make a full time job from it. I could thou. Hope you enjoy. Sorry for the tape, you'll have to use your imagination, till I derobe them.
Just ordered the pin material for a few. I got two different designs that are similar but not same.
I still have to decide which G10 I want. It will likely be layered, but I can't make up my mind what colors to go with.

I've been looking for a Heavy anvil for years.Hay Budden Is One of the best... My grand father had one... I've never been able to get one.... *poor me *

I'm just not gonna pay upwards of $1000 for it.
If you're going to buy a new one, I would highly recommend an Emerson.
At the same time I have to recommend that you don't get a JHM. They are too hard, and it'll wipe out your elbow.
Used, you can often find an old Vulcan pretty cheap. They're an industrial pattern that a lot of folks don't want, but they have a tool steel plate welded on the face.
The best anvils have a tool steel plate sweated on the face. They haven't made any like that since about 1909, so in good shape they bring a pretty penny.

This site has new anvil pricing for many brands... just click on the brand you want... all the pics and prices are there..
He's full of crap. According to him, the harder the better, and he couldn't be more wrong.
Rebound is important, but it's not what's most important. When you make your living in the fire, and you're working over an anvil all day every day, that super hard anvil will tear you up, and you're not going to work at all once you've ruptured ligaments in your elbow.

I'm Sorry Partner.... I wasn't trying to upset anyone... I just thought it was funny he couldn't catch the ball... He may have the ligament damage you've described... That would explain it..... which makes it not funny at all... sorry
