Took a pick of my Randall collection. One of these was carried by my wife's father in RVN. There are two not shown(placed in the house and weren't in the safe)... All these knives are used for hunting/camping... they show the wear. :cool:

I went ahead and took individual pics of the knives for my insurance agent while I had them out. If anyone is interested in a closer pic of any of them, let me know.

Mr. Harsey... I know they are not to your level sir, but do you like anything you see here sir?

You should trade in your pimp gun collection and buy more knives.

What the HELL's in the Knife Safe ????

These were in the safe.. the other two were not. That is why they were not out when I took the pics. I WISH I had a separate need for a knife safe.
My bad for the confusion AM.

Let me go find a few more pimp guns pics for that other thread...LOL

Jawbreaker! What a great group of knives! First, I will never claim to be at the level of a Randall Knife. I have too much respect for the Randall family and it's accomplishments in knifemaking. The Randall Knife is founder and king of modern custom production knifemaking. One of the proudest moments I ever had as a young knifemaker is when Col. Rex Applegate returned from his visit with Bo Randall and handed me a photo of Bo receiving into his collection a custom (made by me) A/F dagger. This meant that Bo Randall put my knife under his collection glass! That is still big stuff for me. I wish nothing but the Best for the Randall Shop.

IF you make something like this...how many bills would a "Hank Hill" Harsey custom made knife set me back "similar" in style to this one? (sorry about the pic, I am at work and don't have access to the real indiv. pics so I had to crop the one one on the site)

I would PM you but I can't post a pic of what I am talking about in a PM.

I think we should try to badger Mr. Harsey into printing a catalog, or at least a few photos of everything he makes for us to drool over and him to take orders on.

We might have to sacrifice some of the quality time he spends hanging out with us here, but in the big picture, it might be worth it. If he is comfortable with this, I do not presume to speak for Master Bladesmith Harsey.

Since we are the ones asking him to sell us stuff, I do not think that the TS would have any problems with it. It isn't like Ranger Rick popping in and advertising his self-garroting survival necklace on his first post.

Just a thought. Feel free to square me away if I am wrong.

Mr. Harsey - No worries, I'd be happy to do it for you anywhere, anytime. And back it up if need be.

Nice collection there Molar Mechanic. I had a 14 and always wanted a 2 back in my younger days.

YES! I DID IT! The image is from Dietmar Pohl's book on tactical Knives. These are Harsey Custom Applegate fairbairn knives, both from 154CM Steel. One standard 6 inch dagger and the other 7 inch with "special pommel". Bill

RL, Those are good links. I had knife product manager from Lone Wolf down here yesterday. We had meeting about possibly putting desert cammo on these folding knife handles. Thanks! Bill

Aaah! The sweet small of success! Positive reinforcement. LOL

That picture makes me all emotional, in a knife junky. OSS-lineage kind of way. The ghosts of Colonel Applegate, W.E. Fairbairn, E.A. Sykes, and John Styers are all whispering in my ear "You need that...You need that..."

At your age NDD, even a Harsey custom made steel fighting knife won't perform any differently than the rest of your personal "weapons"!!! :munchin

And you would know the manner in which my personal weapons function how?

My age is no longer the question, your questioning of a master craftsman's ability is.

well, well...senIor NDD has counter attacked.

Mr. Harsey-
My post was about NDD's "weapon" not retaining its stiffness due to his old age . I have prescribed him some relief and the gruesome picture you saw before will be no more.

Remember NDD... As I prescribed. Take one hour before onset of your weapon "problem" and then call me 2 minutes later after its all over and report back on success/failure. I realize it may be 6 months to a year before testing for you can occur.

Jawbreaker, Never took offense at anything you said or posted, was just getting clear of the ensuing firefight. Looks like I was correct. Any survivors?

HaHa.. still here.

It was just a blue vs blue engagement for practice. We were using simmunitions and rubber knives. LOL The only real fightin around here will be with all the Lawyers (except Airborne lawyer)....

How bout some more pics of those knives Sir. :munchin

I am trying to photograph all new models of knives as they are made. I got lucky and with some great help figure out how to post one picture here, will try again. Many important jobs on the bench now. Also I have the Oregon Knife Show this weekend, beginning with Chris Reeve coming into town tonight. Also VP of Crucible Steel (they make the CPM S-30V Steel for SF Knives) will be with him too. Any complaints to forward?
