Let’s see some outdoor knives

[blokey]

Got this pretty cool knife from Chinese knife maker Chen Gaozhi/陈高志 in K890, he’s a custom maker based in Guangxi, great quality and really tough.

Some purchase from Lamnia, they have some really good values, sadly can’t use them now, still need half year to recover my back

Still can’t go outdoors so I started to learn whittling, really makes appreciate a good Puukko and understands why puukko shouldn’t have guard, probably gonna find someone to ground the guard of the small one for me

Time for a whittling knife.

Of course there are also very serious folding whittlers out there:

will throw the mora 120 in the mix, used them to learn spoon carving in my hs art class. Bought one for myself not long after, it happily whittles away wood whenever I need it to.

Oh that’s the Brisa Kephart, they sell them also in blank and kit form

Thanks! There's something aesthetically pleasing about the simplicity of that knife. I just bought two blanks, and I'll have my brother (a talented woodworker) make matching handles so we can both have one.

I like the simplicity and elegance too, Finnish 80CrV2 are also really nice in my experience

The Kephart style blade is great for the outdoors. Cool history too.

What an interesting life Mr. Kephart led! Thanks for sharing.

Great! I'll take a whittled coke bottle handle, please.

With whittling probably gonna take me days lol, and you are getting a very uneven handle

Ok…. A Joonas Kallioniemi Puukko, with an unusual flat grind and round spine. My understanding is that this a test knife for a flat grind.

And a Randall Model 3, 5 inch in stainless.

that knife cant be very common!!

 

[Curmudgeon]

I’m pretty sure it’s the only one. A collector sold it to me many years ago, right around the time Joonas stopped making knives. It’s my only pure puukko, and while I’d still like a proper 5-bevel blade, this flat grind is an outrageous cutter and has been on many trips. I don’t get out much lately, so I simply get to care for it, keeping it polished and stropped sharp. It really is one of my favourite knives.

Always wanted one since I saw @Deadboxhero video on them, the original wait time for a Cruwear one is 1 year, but luckily after half year of waiting he happens to have one in 4V available and I took it, beautiful knife

Just another Big Chris Kodiak in MagnaCut. I can't seem to get enough of Big Chris knives.

A JE made Large Nessmuk in 14C28N, 59.5 HRC, not in my hand yet but probably soon. Chen is from the same city as me and a really good maker, his steel is not the most exotic but his knife is well constructed and well heat treated, better than most factory stuff. This is 4th gen of his Nessmuk design and first one in 14C28N. He asked me to do a pass around and gather more advices, also probably some photos and videos in use, wishing to sell more directly and reach out more. For this he sent me an extra with no charge so hard to say no… Excited to try his new stuff, let me know anyone’s interested in pass around, this is both out door and semi kitchen use. There’s 2 different handle texture.
