    The top one gave me 5-stitches and a bit of nerve damage in my right arm a couple of years ago from a glancing blow, when I oafishly knocked the rack over and fell off and hit me.

    Top: Bark River Knives Barong, 23.5" overall, 16.5" blade, 32-ounces of A2 steel.

    Second From Top: Khukri/Bolo'ish indigenous knife made of leaf spring steel (see attached photos). A beautiful and old blade I don't know much about, except it takes a razor edge, holds it well, and is extremely well balanced. About 20 ounces, ~11" blade.

    Second from Bottom: Gerber Australian Bowie from ~1990 or so. It was given to me in its rehandled condition, the handle is stag and butt cap and abbreviated guard are brass. Weight is about 18 ounces, blade is ~9.5" in length, and it's a hefty thickness almost 5/16" thick. I don't know what steel it is, but I'd guess 440C or ATS-34.

    Bottom: Bark River Knives Tracker, A2 steel, 7.5" blade, 5/16" thick, about 23 ounces or so in weight. This is a hefty, chunky, blade and absolutely one of my favorites. I find the Tom Brown Tracker-style blade to actually be quite utilitarian with the ability to hold the grip in many positions. If I were stuck with one a single knife for the rest of my life, this is probably the one I'd want (or at least this pattern, a Wegner Tracker is on my list to acquire someday).

    My First HK

    HK Feint, the big boy entry in a line of knives Benchmade attempted to produce for Heckler & Koch. Discontinued for years now but last November I found Smokey Mountain Knife Works had a few prototypes in stock (gone now).

    9.5 inch blade, 440c, 11 ounces. The weight and handling on this thing are sweet and the finger choil makes it handier for fine cutting than a lot of knives this size. I've got bigger with higher end steels, but this has become a favorite.

    See post #38 and #40 in the below link. I have no earthly idea how to make this gadget load images; Apple changed the OS, and I am more lost than ever. I had to find the posts, here in P-F, as I could not even locate the second image, in the iPad’s photo library.

    I should enroll, in training, at an Apple Store, if this Covid-19 thing ever ends.

    I don't have anything really big. This was my maternal great- grandfather's blade. He ran a hog farm and my grandmother gave it to me a few years back. It was part of his butchering kit and is one of my favorite blades that i own.

    Becker's Combat Bowie has served me pretty well. Great knife.
