pics of my knives

I was bored this evening and decided to snap a few pics for you guys. I have a modest collection at best compared to some of you guys here but it sure is fun when I get a chance (empty house) to play with them....
first up is my collection of Busse Kin knives:

my Weilers, both old and new:

Sage rules:

my newest Rat #8:


couple of pics of my newest custom Ranger from Justin:


a look at the 3/8 inch thk spine of this bitch

group shot with some other customs I recently got:



now onto my Barkies:

Truly some beautiful blades, thanks for sharing.

thanks bro, it is certainly an addiction

Very nice blades man! That's a great collection I have alot of other knives as well besides Busse KIn stuff too.

Cool,

I can't wait for my old school ratweiler. Should make an excellent user.

I like the handle on that last barkie; could it be antique ivory micarta?

Nice knives. We have very similar taste in knives. That said, Justin has challenge coins? I don't have one, grrr. Last time I take pictures of knives for him. j/k <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Nice looking knives. I too am a fan of Ranger knives and Justin's work. There could not be a better custom maker to work with on the planet. When Justin gives you a time and date, you can bet you a## on it being ready on or before that time. That is a rarity among knife makers.

Is the 3/8" thick Ranger you posted a slightly modified TFI? I have one of his TFIs and love it, as well as all of his RD series blades.

wow!
that TFI is freaking awesome.
because of the grind I would think it would cut pretty good too.

that ASH looks great too... I love black and Tan g10. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Is that a custom BM with the Ranger with the Black and red handles? It is a great looking knife.
I also like the old style bowie barkie.

thanks guys, as you all know they are an addiction. It was only last year at this time I got my first and it has been downhill ever since.
Ted-yes Justin has challenge coins now, they are pretty nice
Tolly- yeah, that is a custom TFI he made for Blade, he did quite a few 3/8 thk knives for the show. I am sorry I didn't make it down there, hoping to make it up to Blade West this year but only time will tell
Roo-Antique Ivory it is, very classic looking. I wouldn't want it on a user knife as it does show dirt but for a safe queen it is nice looking
Sharp- I totally agree with you, I got the old school Weiler to be a user and it handles really nicely out in the woods
Unsub-not a BM, just a custom I had Justin make me last year, she is my pride and joy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice knives!!! You can´t have to many <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very nice collection there SB! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I love that Ratweiler!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's on my must have list... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Those Rangers are really nice too!

So now that Ontario owns the Ranger brand, does Justin still have an active roll in Ranger Knives?

Hey there Jeff,
I agree about the RW, it was the one "must have" knife I wanted from Swamprat, not my focus has shifted the Mastiff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
As for Justin, yeah he still has an active roll, he provides the knife designs for Ontario to produce and he will focus his knifemaking soley to the custom stuff which means the customs people have will sky rocket in value over time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> You will still be able to grab say and RD from Ontario and send it to Justin for modifications which is cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks SB, that's good to know. I've only recently become the proud owner of my very first Ranger. Thanks to a fellow forum member, I'm now the proud owner of a shiny custom RD-4 with Blue G-10 handles, that I got in a trade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

It's funny about the Ratweiler... everytime I have the cash, there's none for sale and then when I don't... I always see several for sale.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I hear ya Jeff, when I got mine I paid more than I wanted but not by much. I actually found it over on the ARFCOM exchange, I think if I remember right there was another one for sale over there by the same guy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Jeff,

Do you have the money? There's one right now for sale at blade exchange.

Hey Jeff, I forgot to add, since you have your first Ranger you should sign up on the forums over there, it is a lot like this place, anything goes type of place and a lot of fun.

Excellent Collection of blades !!

VERY NICE

Is it your birthday today Vance, happy birthday bro. What did you buy yourself this year? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

In a word... Right now... Nope! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It'll happen when it's time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />




Thanks for the info on the Forum, SB. I've recently registered on Knife Forums, Jerzee Devil Forums, and Knife Tests Forums, but I haven't posted yet. I figured I'd spend a little time getting a feel for it first, as I have time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Funny how Forums can be similar, and yet so different. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
