Cabin Fever Blues-N-Build

Members,
As many of you know, the lovely Elizabeth had a major shoulder surgery this past Wednesday. She is doing well..."but"...I'm "on the docks" for another month or two. In other words, "Cabin Fever" is setting in on the Ol' Captain...(aargh)!
So...What's say you about building a RMK for "Cabin Use"? No other qualifications. Just a knife you would take with you to your cabin for:
* Fishin'
* Huntin'
* Campin'
* Kitchen
* Etc.. Etc..
What say you> Anybody in?
Let me know,
Capt. Chris

How about 4.5" Denmark Special with a little broader blade? Should be a good slicer and general purpose knife.

Or a Yukon skinner with less upsweep? And perhaps start with the 3/16 stock.

I think each gets to a similar place from a different direction.

Edit : I thought this was more a theoretical question, or a fantasy scenario.

For an actual existing model, I'd go with the Denmark Special.

In

Anything we could do creatively with a Model 10, it is titled "Household Utility" after all.

Since you started the thread with a fishing reference ("on the dock"), let's go for something of the fisherman variety.

Man, I’m in on this one!
Thinking a model 10 in 5”.
As always, I’m here to learn and I believe I’m about to get some learning!

Model 10 5 alu. Handle

cattleman has a definite use in the kitchen!!

:-)Rocky

I'm in! I'm starting to think for my use, and my limited knowledge as well as number of RMK models, the model 25 is it. Great edge geometry for camp, or cabin, kitchen. Obviously excellent on game and works well for other camp chores realistically expected of a knife

Much like the previously mentioned model 10, unfortunately, I don't think there much "building" we can do on either?

Model 25 would be a good project knife.

Cap

Speedy recovery for you and Elizabeth.

I am in for a build.

Tom Flynn

Thanks Tom,
She is doing real well. With regards to this build, I would opt out of the Model #10 for reasons already stated, i.e.: Nothing much to build!
I will have a Model #10 made up to "go with and along with" this build. Perhaps auction it off or something alike.
OK with "all-y'all"?
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris
PS: My favorite #10 "true user" is a 5 incher...CCS

How about a model 11 4 1/2 or 5in

If we're locked up together we'd be going for a much bigger blade!! I say a 12-8 or a 12-6 L/B!

It's a "Cabin", dude...not a Prison! Jeez...although a like my Little Bears! Keep it up everyone. All part of the show and the admission price remains the same!!
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

Add my name to the build.
Beast wishes for you and Elizabeth
Don't forget that the care giver needs to take care of themself also.

Dennis

12-6 L/B

Hi, model 10, Mike

Model 7,4 1/2 inch blade.

12-6 LB for me

Tom Flynn

Upon second thought
12-6 LBB

12-6 LB

12-6 Little Bear

Middle child...

12-6 Little Bear sounds good to me.
There would be a lot of choices for options.

This not a final call for the vote..."but"...let's narrow the field of choices: Vote for one (& Please...specify your "other" choice"
Thanks, Capt. Chris

A) RMK Model #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE
B) RMK Model #7-4 1/2 or 5" FISHERMAN/HUNTER
C) OTHER
* A 5 inch Model #10 will be made as well so no need to "burn your option choice" with that model...CCS
PS: "Just" for visuals..."Not" to influence anyone (honest) here's 3 examples, 1 for each category...CCS

A

If fighting is main concern then A. If utility then B.
I guess neutral right now!
I am moved more by B though. You can slice and dice but at a little more up close and personal nature.

Hi, for chores “slicing and dicing” you need a straight blade. Just my 2 cents, ymmv, Mike

B) RMK Model #7-4 1/2 or 5" FISHERMAN/HUNTER

A

RMK Model #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE
alternate, RMK Model #7-4 1/2

I shall "try" to remain impartial throughout this process...cause it's "your" build. I'm just the vehicle.
As to "fighter-vs.-others)...A Model #12-6", as I have shown does "not" have the double hilt. It would make a decent all-around user.
A #7, in either blade length, would be excellent as well and (although it would use up 1 option) can be had with the #6 blade grind, making it more "surgical" for kitchen/refined work.
The #22 I posted last just has sooo much standard equipment that it could really be customized (like in a "build") it would serve us well. I posted it as the stainless, nickel silver, thumb notches, crow's beak butt cap are all standard..."& I also posted it as someone referred to a preference of a 3/16" stock knife...
For all 3 posted....just sayin'...
ITSUP 2 U,
Capt. Chris

Nice ol' #7. Here's 2 of my "users" with the #6 blade grind...
CCS

I didn't make mention of it earlier (in this thread) but I agree with the preference for a 3/16" stock knife.

That 22 certainly checks a lot of boxes out of the gate.

I went to the Lakeland, FL, show last month for the first time and Jim Lyons put this Model 8 in my hand.
Somehow it got packed in my suitcase for the trip back to Colorado.
It had interesting options and just appealed to me.

A) RMK Model #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE

Sportsman Bowie.

Pap

A. #12-6 with single hilt.

A-12-6 LBB

I like your style pappy! A 6 inch Sportsman's is my personal favorite..."&" one of the most difficult knives the shop makes. The reason is "no choil" and keen edge has to be maintained (and sharpened) "all the way back" to the hilt.
Best, Capt. Chris

Tom Flynn

A) RMK Model #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE

OK Crew,
It would appear that (although I think we know where it's going is 1-sided) we're ready for a "ROLL CALL VOTE"!! Vote for one and one only. If your selection is "C" or "D", please specify which model is your #1 choice. Thanks for all the participation,
Capt. Chris
Vote for
A) #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE
B) #7-4 1/2 or 5", FISHERMAN HUNTER
C) Another 3/16" model
D) Nope: Something different

A 12-6 LBB

D) Sportsman Bowie

Pap

B, 6 grind

A) #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE

A) #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE

I have already learned something new about the difficulty of the Sportsmans Bowie because of the lack of choil.
Thanks Capt. for pointing that out.
I like both the the 12-6 or the Model 7.
I will choose A to see what else I may not know.

A) #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE

B

Anybody else?
CCS

B) #7-4 1/2 or 5", FISHERMAN HUNTER

looks like I'm in the minority.

A) #12-6", LITTLE BEAR BOWIE

Calling it tonight...late.
Vote, if you will,
Capt. Chris

In for B

A) #12-6

Little Bear wins with the #7 coming in second. OK: "NOW"...what do you prefer for steel?
Stainless costs mo' money and is a little more difficult to sharpen "if" you let it get too dull. No carbon spots or rust to contend with also.
Carbon steel is less Money and is easy to sharpen. If "properly cared for" the staining, spotting, etc. is kept to a minimum. The majority of my "woods" knives are carbon steel..."BUT"...(Here comes that word again...not "all" of them.
If called upon for kitchen duties, I prefer stainless as there is no rust taste to it. Just examples and ideas to hammer out amongst ourselves.
Let's hear it,
Capt. Chris

Carbon Steel...cause...you know... pickling!!!

Stainless Steel...cause...you know...easy to clean!!!

Stainless Steel,,My other LLB's would be offended if I voted
any other way

Carbon steel

SS

Stainless Steel

Stainless. Slightly easier to maintain, not that I maintain most if my cuttin stuff.

Carbon

Pap

Carbon

Stainless steel.

Carbon, for all the reasons mentioned above. There's no need, in my experience and opinion, for stainless where I live and use knives.

Carbon. Save the options.

Carbon steel

This LBB is from the 2015 build. Birdseye Maple, Waxed Sheath.
I vote for SS

Dennis

Here's another LBB to give y'all some ideas.
Stainless blade.
Ironwood finger grove handle. Brass single hilt.
Brass rounded butt cap. Brass ands black spacers.

Dennis

Stainless Steel for me.

Tom Flynn

stainless

Lookin like its 9 votes SS to 7 votes O1, Capt. !

Let's give this through the weekend ember and I'll call it on Monday. I hate to disappoint almost half the voters "but" I only have room for "1 build slot right now. Let's see what happens.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

Although a close vote, STAINLESS it is! No need to spend a lot of time on the "front end" now that the steel has been decided..."but"..."IF" we can decide on a single hilt..."THEN" we will have thumb notches on this bad boy as they are "standard" on the LB Bowie.
SO: Vote for one and one only:
A) Single hilt
B) Double hilt (which will "not" come with thumb notches)
VOTE NOW:
Thanks, Capt. Chris

NS2

B) Double hilt

A. Nickel Silver Single Hilt works for me
Reasoning - If we are leaning toward a Camping/Outdoors Knife the Thumb Notches and the Single Hilt seem to give more control of the blade when cleaning fish, sharpening branches for marshmallows, or cooking type functions.

NS2...Fighters are Kewl!!!

B) Double hilt

Single Hilt - Nickel Silver

Brass, reduced hilt. Nothing to get in the way of chopping veggies,or cleaning fish.

Hi, bowie knife for veggies or cleaning fish ? I like the style of those who voted, regards, Mike

A Nickel Silver

You really need a hefty blade for cleaning Colorado Brook Trout

Single NS

B) Double hilt (which will "not" come with thumb notches)

Tom Flynn

Saw a 12-6 posted on Facebook by Joel Hilbert that caught my attention.
Excuse the quality of the photo. It was a screen shot from a video.

Looks like 4 options
Stainless Blade
Brass and Black Spacers
Stag
Brass Crows Beak Butt Cap

Is it still possible to get the rounded nut on stag?

Pap

Thumb Notches?

I think the Capt. said Thumb Notches were standard or a non-charged option with the Brass Single Hilt.
But, I learn something new with each of these builds.

[/quote] I think the Capt. said Thumb Notches were standard or a non-charged option with the Brass Single Hilt.[/quote]

Doesn't have to be brass, NS single hilt gets thumb notches too at no charge.

Pap

Currently looking like

Single Hilt = 9

Double Hilt = 5

No nut on stag...not anymore...not for quite some time. I'm glad to see such interest in this build.
Thanks,
Capt. Chris

Ah, 12-6 LBB has thumb notches standard. nice.

Captain,

I like your stag, compass, and thong hole. Along with the NS single hilt, all of these features with silver and black spacer would make a very nice Northern Saskatchewan bush knife.

Alan

I'll call this tonight...
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Add one more vote for Single Hilt. Great photos Capt.

Dennis

12-6 LBB with A/I handle material

LOVE that A/I!

Single hilt it is..."&" appears a lotta' folks want nickel silver...So...........Let's talk hilt-n-color:
A) Brass hilt
B) NS hilt
C) Brass spacers (can be with red or black fibers)
D) Aluminum spacers (""""""""")
E) Red, white & blue spacers
F) Brass smooth collar
G) Nickel silver smooth collar
H) Brass scalloped collar
...no "actual" voting is starting yet....just trying to get a feel for where we are headed..."&"...how many options we're using up to get there. "Often" the latter complicates the former...
Let me hear from y'all.
Thanks, Capt. Chris
PS: I'm glad we didn't go double hilt...for the intended purpose of this build and this model...CCS

I like B and D

A, C & G

Capt

You got 2 G's. Give H a chance.

A,C

B

Pap

B) NS hilt

Alan

B) Nickel silver

Dennis

Brass tarnishes if you look at it funny, or even if you do nothing.

NS generally doesn't tarnish, or at least takes a lot longer, unless you do something silly like leave a knife in the sheath.

Of course, there are ways of keeping brass from tarnishing "in dry air", like leaving a very thin layer of Flitz or other cleaner on it.

Brass Hilt

Just did a count
Brass-2
Nickel Silver-10

I think we need not whip this horse anymore. Nickel silver single hilt gets the call!
To date:
* RMK Model #12-6", Little Bear
* Stainless (Option #1)
* Nickel silver single hilt (Option #2)
...We have 3 options left (or none, if you want red, white & blue spacers and a leather handle.
Let's hear from you and get "ideas"!
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris
PS: Here's an example close to it...Added WT & a rounded butt cap...CCS

Alum Sp, Walnut, Border Patrol handle shape

Walnut, SFG, WT

Alum sp Walnut BP or SFG

RWB Spacers and Walnut

RWB Spacers, Maple, WT, compass

Pap

I'd really like a very nice piece of ironwood (but walnut would be a good second choice).

What DW said
"Alum Sp, Walnut, Border Patrol handle shape"

Dennis

Aluminum/black Spacers
Ironwood
Border patrol handle shape

Aluminum/Red spacers,Red/Blue micarta single finger grip handle,wrist thong.

That's 4 options. .we only have 3 available.

...: Scott's photo re-edited below...CCS

Scott
What is the handle materials on each?
Thanks
Walker

RMK supplied "Ivorite" and CW supplied Ironwood...

That new Ivorite is awesome!!! And a squared hilt! <3

I like that new “ivorite”.

The Ironwood is beautiful, too!

Scott,
Just, this minute, got back from Bama...pickin' up venison. R U sure about that ivorite...cuz...it looks "just like" resin ivory...???
Nice,
Capt. Chris

It's what we purchase now and call "ivorite"
to us..

Hi, I don’t know what it’s called but I like it. I will say , I like ‘‘em all, regards, Mike

It's exactly the same as I have been raving about since it's inception...I was just bustin' Scott...That's all.
I just got back late last night from retrieving all of my venison in Bama from the processors. I'll try to post pics whenever I get a chance.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

OK members,
Aluminum & black spacers gets the vote...literally! We just need to finish up "the rest". Handle material, etc....
Suggestions!
Thanks,
Capt. Chris

Nothin wrong with that walnut DW posted

Here's what's "fer sure":
RMK #12-6", Little Bear Bowie

* Stainless (Option #1)
* Thumb notches (Standard)
* Nickel silver single hilt (Option #2)
* Aluminum & black spacers (Option #3)
....2 possible still....or not!?
Capt. Chris

Sticking with the Walnut...

Walnut

Nutty Walls!

Yes, walnut is a good choice, but PLEASE give consideration to ironwood!
(top picture: walnut - bottom picture: ironwood)

When you get a good (nicely-figured) piece of walnut it's hard-to-beat. IW has an excellent chance of having excellent figure as does thuya....Below in an example of nice walnut.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

If anyone is considering lignum Vitae as a handle choice...it will crack..yes a wood so dense it sink's in water...and to my knowledge you can't have it stabilzed..crack's. I have 2 with crack's..that were installed by the RMK shop..and were a Dealer Special.

Edited to mention that I supplied the wood and the RMK shop is not responsible for customer supplied wood.

Walnut.

Right hand finger grips

handle shape?

WT?

butt dressing?

How much room in the options do we have left?

WT

Pap

butt dressing?

That's a new one.

Tom Flynn

Here's what's "fer sure":
RMK #12-6", Little Bear Bowie

* Stainless (Option #1)
* Thumb notches (Standard)
* Nickel silver single hilt (Option #2)
* Aluminum & black spacers (Option #3)
* Walnut handle (Option #4)
....1 possible option left, excluding the sheath.....or not!?
Capt. Chris

One option left.
Handle shape?
Butt dressing?
Wrist thong?
Special Sheath?

Dennis

Special sheath will not count against the "5-option-limit" Dennis. "All" the other options listed will.
Best.
Capt. Chris

I say WT for the last option.

No butt dressings!!! It takes alot away from the look of the wood!

Border Patrol?...Single Finger Groove?...orrrrr...do we dare?...TEARDROP handle...??

SFG for me.

Let's dare, TEARDROP handle.

The Teardrop handle IS non-chargable and would still leave one option!

Help me out here, I don't recall what a "Tear Drop" handle looks like.
But if it's not a chargeable option I could be enticed.

I am liking the tear drop idea, so 1 more chargeable option - how about a WT or compass?

4" version of my Stanaback Special in maroon micarta (amongst other options)..TEARDROP handle shape.
Stay Sharp,
Capt. Chris

Will the hilt be square or rounded since we have thumb notches?

Standard single hilt is "not squared". We can add it at no charge but the standard (rounded-top) single hilt is what we have thus far.
Crew:
It's past time to put this puppy to bed...ROLL CALL VOTE...regarding any final (5th) option...or not. Vote for one and one only. I'm calling it on Friday evening.
Thanks, Capt. Chris

A) Leave it alone Capt...and build what we have so far
B) Let's add a handle shape
C) Let's add a butt cap
D) Let's add a wrist thong
E) Let's add a compass
F) Let's add a butt "plate"
G) Blade etching anyone?
H) Other....(& please be specific)

Teardrop since it's no charge

Pap

B

B

I didn't think the special sheath was extra. Just checking. Thanks Capt
DW, I hadn't thought of a teardrop handle. I like it.
Would a teardrop handle rule out butt dressing?

Dennis

Teardrop with a Thin rounded DB!!

D) Let's add a wrist thong

B

B Teardrop with a squared hilt

Tom Flynn

Teardrop and, since I have a tendency to wander off from the cabin on occasion

E) Let's add a compass

B) Let's add a handle shape

Teardrop.

I Second Tom's choice
B Teardrop with a squared hilt
REVISION - For the last option I would add the thin rounded DB.
I would still add a Sheath upgrade.

Like Tom’s idea also
B) teardrop shape with square hilt

B) teardrop

Already voted for teardrop, but add squared hilt.

Pap

B and C
Teardrop with a Thin rounded DB!!
Thanks DW

Dennis

Here's an example. 4" Stanaback Special in ivorite micarta (teardrop).
Capt. Chris

My original post of my 12-6 L/B is a teardrop handle with Buckeye Burl!

B Teardrop with a squared hilt

TEARDROP RULES! That's the handle option covered.
* Butt cap?
Capt. Chris

Nah, no butt dressing, just a wrist thong, plz.

No Buttcap or Wrist thong
No need to mess up a good looking piece of wood

Wrist thong

Pap

Wrist thong

I am with Brother Billy. No need to ruin nice wood!

No but cap.

Thin and rounded Buttcap

I know it's a Sunday..."BUT"...a pitiful response so far..."7" votes total. This build started off superb. No more...I'll call this tomorrow night than get it ordered. Those who want their name in the hat can let me know after the final voting is done.
Capt. Chris
PS: I will continue some sort of RMK project to assist this forum out in this"Facebook" world...but it won't be "this" format...CCS
PPS: I'm with Scott on this build, although I don't vote, but the rounded duralumin butt cap...on a teardrop..."takes away" nothing and gives you a full tang knife (albeit reduced) for superb strength and feel...CCS

rounded duralumin butt cap...on a teardrop

Thanks for the explanation Cap!

Thin and rounded Buttcap

I’m with DW on this… thin and rounded butt cap. Just because.

Thin and rounded Buttcap

Thin and rounded Buttcap.

Dennis

Thin and rounded Buttcap

DW and the good Captain know best-I am good with that.

Tom Flynn

If we do Thin&Rounded buttcap, it's gonna be either aluminum or brass.

With NS1, I'd rather not go with either of those two.

THIS PART

Would be cleaner looking without mismatched Metals

Matching hardware.

Dennis

What Tom Flynn said - teardrop with squared hilt.

"If we do Thin&Rounded buttcap, it's gonna be either aluminum or brass"

Done deal...RMK does not offer THIN NSB...

I show:
* Butt cap-5
* No butt cap-3
* Wrist thong-3
Someone may want to double check. I'll call it this evening...thanks,
Capt. Chris

OK Crew,
Let's build this bad boy...."BUT"....what are we gonna' sheath it in? Chose the leather...please!
Thanks,

Waxed no hone

Those of you who are "going with Pappy"...Which one? He voted "twice" (for 2 different sheaths)...
Capt. Chris

Nooooooooo .....

It was just a question that's all, to see if anyone else thought a C no hone sheath would look better with this larger Model.

13 or so wanting "in" on the raffle/drawing. The only fair way to do this is as follows:
I will post #'s 1 thru 100. Each member (who contributed during the build) will be allowed 5 numbers...to start with. Each # will cost $7.50. You may pay me via:
1) Check or money order
2) Cash
3) Via Paypal
My Paypal address for payments is my email:
captstanaback@aol.com
"AFTER" the intitial selections are made we will offer the balance at the same price. In total ("IF" all numbers are used up..."&" everyone pays), the total $750.00 should cover the cost of the knife and shipping/insurance.
Good Luck & thanks for your input,
Capt. Chris
