Knives & Sheaths

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

Thanks GB

    My Dad got this dagger when he was in port in India, during WW2, he was a Merchant Marine, and he was assigned to an Ammunition Freighter, so the knife went all through the war with him. His ship was torpedoed several times and towards the end of the war they were attacked by Kama Cazzie's and Zero's , but they never got hit bad enough to blow the ship up, and they were loaded to the tilt with ammo, our Battle Ships did a Great job of protecting them, they only had a couple big gun on there ship to defend themselves with. So he and his knife survived the whole war together, That's pretty special.

  Will, don't get rid of the tools, there would be a  curse if you did a thing like that , the only way I got my shop together, was to get a nice 10'x10' shed and put all my yard tools and paint and all the stuff that was getting in my way in it, then I could begin to breath and see how I wanted to lay things out, just an idea  beats throwing tools out, LOL

Howdy TW,
What a treasure your Dad's Dagger is! If it could only talk! That beautiful sheath you made does it proud. Many thanks for sharing this heirloom with us.

Howdy KT,
I was wondering where all of those beautiful rigs came from. You have an outstanding work shop! Thanks for the pictures.

10 Wolves, that is a great looking knife and sheath! You are blessed to have something like that passed down from your dad. You did a great job on the sheath. I'm seeing some great ideas for the one I need to make.

KT, great shop, all except for that Ford sign That's from a long time GM guy, though now with it being Government Motors, I'm not so happy with them

JD my wife has a Cobra convertable with a super charger and nitro for a squrt of juice when needed. Its a resl sleeper. Thats why the ford sign. You may have noticed my email address is byoffcr. Its her personlized  plate on her car. Byoffcer would not fit.  KT

Howdy All

     Thanks for the kind words,

     The next knife and sheath at least the knife was given to me back in 1966 by a very good friend of mine, this knife was in one of the Gun Smoke episodes where a mountain man that had raised a young Indian boy to manhood, had gone into Dodge City to buy him a new knife, this is one of the same knives that was used, and it came from Nudie's, Nudie was the man that made western cloths for many of the western stars of the time, he was a little fella and quit a character, he drove around in a big Cad, all decked out with guns and rifles, I used to see him often while on my way to work, his store was across the street from Alfonso's of Hollywood which was my gun leather man back then,one day while in Nudie's store my friend spotted this knife in a show case, he had the same knife, so he wanted me to have one too, there were only so many made, and they were all numbered, I've enjoyed this knife over the years it's cleaned and butchered a lot of game in the field and has been a trusty friend.
   The original sheath was getting a little old , so I didn't want it to fall apart so I made another along the same lines, but a little different, the original sheath was a wrap around and sewed in the back.

                           Thanks for taking a look

   This knife was made in Germany, and is a strong carbon steel knife, when butchering deer I would use it as a clever at times, with no harmful effect to the edge, this knife would just stay sharp without a lot of honing .

Nice knife, TW. The sheath is very suitable for it. It brings the classic look out nicely. Good work.
