I have been picking up several vintage carbon steel Schrade's for hunting here lately.

Just google "sog field pup" came up right away with all sorts of info and places to buy it.
I think Cold Steel quit offering Carbon V knives because I heard the company that was making them in the USA went out of business. Case has their CV line and it is all carbon. I have tried many knives. So far the one that has held up the best for me is a Helle laminated blade knife. I completely cut up two elk with it before it needed sharpening. I have never had a custom knife.

Here's one that's of several. Needs some work. But it was $40.00.
Here's one of my Schrades. This one cost $40.00
I'm still looking for a few more.
Nice looking knife, but I cant imagine trying to butcher an animal with a Bowie
So their over here. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...59#post1254259
I have a couple of Mora 510s (discontinued, I think the current version is the 511) in carbon steel. For the money, they can't be beat. I also have a stainless 546 for the boat. They can be had at Ragnar's or Ben's Backwoods. Both places are great. Very practical and affordable. I make my own neck sheathes for them from kydex.
Take a look at these, http://www.michaelmorrisknives.com/ A friend ordered one and I fell in love with it so I ordered me one just the other day. They're made from Nicholson files and he leaves a bit of the file tooth pattern on the blade so it has a distinctive look about them. I'm not a big knife kinda guy but these are beautiful. Being made from file steel you should be able to put a nice edge on them and it stay there for quite a while. And his prices are not out of line for a completely hand made custom knife.
Hey Duke, or maybe someone else that likes to pound hot metal.
Could you make me a few dozzen Swordfish Harpoon darts out of some scrap like old truck leaf springs?
Maybe we can shoot a few with a compond bow off the boat?
if that does not work there is allways the old wooden harpoon stick.
