Those are some nice knives he makes. I like blacksmithing for that reason but have not got to do much of it in a couple of years. Never used a gas forge the ol' guy that let me come over and try used a coal forge. Dad is suppose to be building a blacksmith shop up behind his house( maybe one day when he stays home long enough to do it)

Papasage I don't know if he would be intersted in having them, I have been a farrier for almost 30 yrs and periodicly over the years knife makers have approached me about getting my old horseshoeing rasps when they are worn out. I want to say that the knives they made were more of the ornate/replicas, etc....type rather than high carbon keep an edge type.
I had guys offer to buy em but always just gave em to them. I use Save-Edge rasps which are about the best rasp made. I would imagine a search would maybe get you some info to find out about the properties of the metals in them.
Just an offer, since moving here from TX 4 yrs ago I have had no call for the culls would be glad to save em up and he can have them for the shipping if he wants.

I've carried a knife for as long as I can remember. I've had a lot of different brands over the years and have either lost them or wore them out. But I have a Barlow that I've had for twenty plus years that is my favorite.

Like the rest of you guys I feel naked without a knife. I have so many of them I have to rotate them day by day. Gerbers, Bucks, Cases, Benchmade USA ATS-34, Old Timers, Ozark Trail, Smith and Wesson Model#620, and two handmade blades from Arkansas. Also have a Gerber Multitool which is always on my belt when fishing or working. They are all all shaving sharp, a dull knife can hurt you trying to force it, a sharp one cuts easily.

Well I had to jump in this one....I too carry a pocket knife...It is a Schrade lockblade ,measures 4 1/2 in. open and 2 1/2 closed..It has a ring to carry on a key chain but the ring came loose so I took it off my keychain and started carrying it in my pocket....Have had it for 25 years and I never leave home without it....Its become part of me........If I am not wearing pockets its in my purse....I use it at work,fishing, shopping,and at Birthday parties............Great for opening those hard to get out of the box toys....:D

My favorite Knife was an old Case sod buster jr.Found in the driveway at the chicken houses.Found out later my brother had lost it 13 yrs earlier.He was nice enough to let me keep it.I carried it for about 15yrs till I broke the blade.

Ive always carried a pocket knife, my uncle gave me my first one when I killed my first rabbit. It was a case trapper model ,I still have it and I collect case knives now. I bought my nephew his first case knife when he was 7 and he carries it everywhere except school. I buy him at least 2 knives a year for his birthday and christmas.
