I thought I would start a new thread strictly for Behring Made Knives. James learned from one of the best under the Treeman stamp for years.....now he is making some amazing knives in his Montana forge.

Here is one I just received. I asked James if he had ever made a sub-hilt fighter. Well, he has now.... and this is the first one. 7-1/2" hammer marked blade......with a stag and spacer stack.......double nickel silver hilts.

I had Mudbone Jones make a sheath. He carried the skull stamp on the blade to the sheath..... and the red really ties with the spacers. It's a pretty scary rig.

Here's another beauty!

10" blade, nickel silver hilt, and a big chunk of fossil ivory worked into a crow's beak handle.

Again, the sheath is by Roger "Mudbone" Jones. It has a MACV-SOG take off.

I do love fighting knives...... and this is a classic.

7-1/2" humpback blade, the top edge is sharpened.

Nickel silver hilt with a yellow micarta handle. I really like the way the black spacers pair up with the Mosher sheath.

Well, this is no fighter, but I'd take it in a tight spot!!

This thing is massive....9" blade, 5/16" thick at the spine. In the first picture is a Randall #1-8" fighter.

I know...not real practical, but I can't wait to make a batch of ribs....and break them down with this'n. James called it "The Butcher"

Huge chunk of fossil ivory with great drop and taper. Check out the hilt.... like everything on this blade... huge.

Purely a man toy!

Holy cow Tune
That is a great set of knives by James, are you keeping him busy by yourself
He is really making some great stuff in Montana
You are ready for anything now

... WOW!
Incredible work!

Great knives!

As much as I like Behring's colorful spacers, that black/white/aluminum combo is very classy, especially with the fossil ivory.

The Butcher is awesome. Is it hollow ground? Just wondering.

I can't believe you would actually use that beautiful cleaver!! If I were you, I'd use your old Marbles #9 hatchet on those ribs.

Thanks for the comments guys......

Rick, it appears to be a convex grind.....definitely not hollow.

Pappy.... I actually have an old school Foster Brothers cleaver for such dirty work. You are right.....I'd have a hard time marking up the finish on this one.

Tune--you have a great collection of knives.

Really like that knife block in your kitchen--do you have any history/details about it you can share?

Thanks Doug, it's a cool block. I made it from an old furniture clamp (like a pipe clamp).... it started out about 4 feet long.

I miter cut it and turned it 90 degrees. I made the internal slots from 1/4" oak, then stained and distressed it to match. I ripped the old wood from the clamp to make the two outside pieces.... sort of a veneer.

Here are a few more shots.

Excellent work--you need to make a few more and start selling them!

Very Nice Work tune!

a few more, all very different.

Nice Miles!
I like the first one ... kind of a Boot Knife on steroids.

here's another interesting one... a horse hoof pick that James just made.

Cool piece Miles..... I like the way James is experimenting.

Great collection guys -- very diverse! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I’ve talked with James about a few capers and will share pics once they’re finished. He’s got a good thing going in Montana...

Here some from same Family....

My last addition:
JB jr: "Woodcraft" trout & Bird (4"01 tool blade)

I smell a trade on this one, Guido! I love it!
Thanks, Capt. Chris

Fantastic Knife!
GREAT LOOKING STAG!

Great knife Guido!!!
I really like Jr's work and this one got my attention!!!!!!!

A recent Randall/Behring-Montana that James developed. I had left the Triathlete Gutcher sheath with James after he added a stag handle to my Tri. We kept talking about it and he went in reverse and made a knife to fit the sheath--also added a Mosher for good measure. Extremely tight fit and let me tell you will impress the guys around the grill when you pull it out to cut your steak! I really like this blade.

nice Duke. I like the shape of the handle and the flaring at the butt.

here's the Montana rendition of a stout Fireman's knife!

James is turning out some fine looking and feeling good in the hand blades. Including that one!
