BMK really make some outstanding Sub Hilt Knives. The sub hilt really keep the knife in your hand with some of the big heavies. Let's see some more examples.

Warren, one night James and I were trading email and I asked..... have you ever made a sub-hilt?

Here is the first..... Mudbone leather.

Tune,

Love that knife and what's not to like about Mud's work. How old is that one? Killer rig.

Not sure... 6-7 years?

Probably an early Montana knife. Gorgeous!

There's a sign in the shop... I should have taken a pic of it...EPIC fail on my part!!!
It says
"Make something cool,
and then put it in a Mudbone."
Mitchell

that about sums up Tunes knife

Ha, I do recall saying that......

Warren, Tune beautiful knives all.

Steve thanks for the comments, glad you like them.
How bout a couple of re-handled Randall's with sub-hilts?
First one is a 1-7, copper hardware, Cooper Firearms gunstock handle. Second one is a 12-13 Thorpe, double sub-hilt, inspired by Bo's first sub-hilt Smithsonian. Handle is a FWI artifact tip that I had and it fit perfectly.
Mudbone leather for both.

Beautiful knives.

Hey thanks Rob for the reply.

Warren,

We both love those sub-hilts! Yours are awesome.

Tom Flynn

Speaking of awesome Tom, whew now I remember those. All top shelf but that Faisal set is first rate.

Awesome knives Tom.

Those copper "S" hilts are awesome.......might steal that for one or both of the kit smittys I just sent in!

Tom,

Make sure Chief knows that's a chargeable option payable at Blade

LOL Dinner on me!

Chief has lots of new friends. I'm gonna have fun with this one

Chief,

We know a great restaurant, right Warren-Steak Knives up!

Tom Flynn

Without a doubt Tom.

=)

A damn fine establishment indeed! Chief was missed but buying us all dinner will certainly make up for it

Works for me just so I go this time lol!

Blade is NOT the same without you Cheif... Dinner having nothing to do with it. You were missed!

Thanks Boss!

Adding this Randall Triathlete rehandle to the thread. Very comfortable and user friendly with the sub hilt.

Great looking knife Warren.

Amazing how they just killed it Steve. Thank you for the reply.

A couple of recently acquired sub-hilt fossil fighters dressed in Mudbone. It would appear these are similar vintage even though they came from different sellers.

I like that gentle recurve style. Good stuff overall.

Top one trips my trigger, but Damn those are awesome!

Rob,

Good eye for the recurve. Looks great on a long blade.

Chief,

Manly blades for sure. Thanks.

Stag brother joins the party.

Love the Copper Furniture with that Stag.

Thanks Eric, I just like copper on anything.

Outstanding.

I haven't been keeping this thread up to date. A few more from the early days.

You are killing us you know. Outrageous in every respect. Any one of them would be a treasure to own. Very impressive.

Pap

Thanks Pap. The source built quite an impressive collection. Some of the best to come out of both Montana and Michigan.

Amen to what Pappy said!

Early Montana in FWI.

What an outstanding collection.

Had many more Steve but had to move them on to keep things coming in. Can't keep them all but thanks for the reply.

who is excited about the Halloween sale on knives?

No sales coming from this shop anytime soon! Can barely keep an inventory these days.

Just found this thread.
Some really great lookin´ blades here!

One more pic of mine ....

Great looking knife Peter S.
