Rifleman's knife

fleener said:

I got tired of looking at Tallpine rifleman's knifes and missing out when he posted one for sale.

So, I contacted him and had him make one for me.

The piece of wood I sent him is walnut.

I don't have the knife in hand yet but am waiting for it to arrive.

Tallpine has been great to work with and as you can see, it is a handsome looking knife.

Cant wait to use it.

Thanks, I have a thing for knifes as well and even dabble in making one every once and a while. Can't resist one that catches my eye.

Bad thing is that it is to be delivered tomorrow, and I will likely be gone for before it gets here, and I am gone for a week.

I am not sure what the point or purpose of a riflemans knife is. Backi in the day I might carry one, or two knives. One fo heavy work, such as building afire. Yet another more delicate one for preparing game and vegetables for the pot.
Yet in my kitchen I have a carbon steel French knife with a ten inch blade. I have had it for more than 40 years and use it do almost everything that gets cut in the kitchen. I can do delicate work with it or break down a side of beef. I can carve a roast chicken for the table in less than two minutes.

Anyway what is, and what is the point of, a riflemans knife?

Please dont show the particulars of that knife. I think you will make me have sleepless nights trying to figure out if I need to order one like it.

The good thing is I have two boys and they both have taste similar to mine. However, they dont need any more knifes either...
