I've been lurking here awhile and this is my first post. Being frugal, I am always looking for good deals on knives & gear so I wanted to start a thread for others like me. If you find a good deal please post it here. I will go first.

I just picked up a Buck Nobelman for $17.99 (org. $35.99) at Cabelas.

Thank you for all the good information.

should I get a 220 coarse and a 4000 extra fine?

Also what about a nagura for the 4000?

Also any links to suppliers would be great. ]]>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:01:32 GMThttp://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/865045/http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/865045/Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:58:59 GMThttp://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/864974/http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/864974/
So in cleaning out tons of storage at a friend's house, I found this older model GB. I couldn't find anything like it online, as GB now has the prominent beard which this doesn't. Anybody have any additional info on this one?

It has a 12" handle.




It is well balanced and centered but has a little twist...




Acceptable grain...

Just received a SOG Field Pup the other day. This knife retails for about $115 over here in Sweden but I got it from a guy on eBay for $42 incl intnl shipping (price of knife was $30). Let me tell you this: what a bargain!

I haven't taken the knife out for field work yet, but will be trying it next weekend on a hunt. However, first impressions: this is A LOT of knife for the money. The handle really is fine (but perhaps a bit coarse in the grip).The blade is actually the sharpest one I've gotten "out of the box" yet. Yes, even sharper than the Bark Rivers I own. The sheath is also top notch for being a production knife one. The back has a really nice strap/loops which makes it fit perfect on MOLLE gear. And the front pocket is roomy enough to store a fire steel, two wetfires and even a small folder perhaps (or a medium sized SAK, eg Huntsman). The thing is made out of really thick and nice nylon with a plastic insert for the blade. Good friction fit and tight push botton strap around the handle.

I think this is the most knife/$ I have gotten yet.

My question to You is: what is the most knife per dollar you can think of or have in your property?

Also how sharp can you get the rc5? does the thickness of the blade make it unable to get extremely sharp?

thanks for taking the time ]]>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:40:30 GMThttp://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/864964/http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/864964/ I've got a quick question for which I would love a quick answer.
I need to get some steel tomorrow for making knives for Christmas pressies which I have left too late.
Without having to drive for hours I have found a place that sells a large range of different steels which I may be able to use for the blades. The knives should just be normalish drop point hunters.
Please note that I am a beginner blade smith so hard steels to work with, heat treat, temper etc. are probably best left alone.
Here are some of the steels that I have available-
S1
S7
O1
D2
D3
K1040
K1045
4140
4340
440C
H13
and here is the website - http://www.interlloy.com.au/index.h...
If someone knowledgeable could give me a hint as to what steel I should get it would be great.
Thanks in advanced.
Jim
