BlackRockBigfoot 979 Posted October 19, 2020 BFF Donor Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Those Marttiini's are nice little blades... especially for the money. You will have to retire the neck knife and belt carry now. Edited October 19, 2020 by BlackRockBigfoot Link to post Share on other sites
wiiawiwb 697 Posted October 19, 2020 BFF Donor Share Posted October 19, 2020 @ Madison -- you're developing quite the collection of knives. Nice new one. The last knife I'd ever give up is my neck knife. It is on me whenever I'm in the woods and will still be on me if I take a spill down a mountainside. Link to post Share on other sites
Madison5716 629 Posted November 15, 2020 BFF Donor Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) I'm one short now. Lost my Kershaw in the woods while mushroom hunting. Dang it! I'll replace it eventually, but I have other bills first. Edited November 15, 2020 by Madison5716 Link to post Share on other sites
norseman 4,156 Posted November 21, 2020 BFF Donor Share Posted November 21, 2020 Ordered the steel and micarta. Going to attempt to recreate this knife. I’ve got a buddy that builds knifes and is going to help me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

wiiawiwb 697 Posted November 21, 2020 BFF Donor Share Posted November 21, 2020 That's going to be quite the project. I've watched a number of the Forged in Fire episodes and it is quite something to be able to make a knife from scratch. Good luck with it Norse. Link to post Share on other sites
norseman 4,156 Posted November 21, 2020 BFF Donor Share Posted November 21, 2020 My plan is to make it a sawback. The blood groove will reduce weight. But not necessary. It’s 1/4 steel. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

I gave it to my son. His hand is smaller. I’m guessing it’s a 6 inch blade? Link to post Share on other sites
