Knife Farmer![]() |
i am playing around with several EDC/boot knife type knives right now. just curious if anybody still carries a boot knife. i have always thought they were a fun style to make. dozer https://photos.app.goo.gl/s1hff9FBw7iKcEzb9 "She's got a cherry-handled pistol in her lollipop pocket."

Forget the knife, those are some wicked looking boots! | |||

The Gryphon M-10 fits the bill nicely. I have one and I like it. | |||

I don't carry a boot knife but it's size and style has been a favorite of mine. I think the best ever design was by Bob Loveless, here's one I own. ![]() Another in my collection, first custom I ever ordered (1991), maker was Steve Huey. ![]() ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

These were made by Othello in Solingen, Germany for, I believe Kershaw. Later on, they were replicated in China. They are handy, sharp, and made in one piece of steel. ![]() "Dead Midgets Handled With No Questions Asked" | |||

very nice examples, indeed. i used to like to make a few different models in this general direction, but haven't touched on it much in recent years. i like to keep things interesting here on the knife farm. dozer "She's got a cherry-handled pistol in her lollipop pocket." Five Horse Johnson | |||

That's nice, certainly a different take on a boot knife. Most are slim for carrying in a boot and drawing easily, what will your sheath look like? ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

yeah, that's what this is. a small 7.0" bowie style. the sheath is in the pic. little leather sheath with a spring clip. the whole rig fits very easily in all the boots i own. just a downsized bowie knife. i might add some facets to the handle, though. it is actually a bit slick, so it might need some tweaking for a solid grip. dozer "She's got a cherry-handled pistol in her lollipop pocket."

Ek boot knife shown bottom right among my Ek collection. Top knife originally came with the white handle slabs (bottom right) that I replaced with cocobolo ones I carved. ![]() Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

I don't really know what's available in the production market, many custom makers offer a boot dagger. A good place to look would be Blade Forums under Knifemakers Market- Fixed Blades. I did a quick search and found several from good makers. ________________________________ "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

This dagger was recently offered by Phillip Paton on Bladeforums. It's larger but it shows the style he's made. https://www.bladeforums.com/th...33220/#post-21980473 ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||
