I met with James and Grant at the Lakeland show this year and in less than 15 minutes we had these two knives nailed down from inspired blade shapes. I knew I wanted these blades hammer marked, with sub-hilts, and with my handle material. James suggested the Musk Ox center spacers along with at least one in copper hilts. They are absolutely drop dead amazing; I can't wait till they get here after returning from Kenny Rowe custom leather. I'll post up the completed project when finished but James and Grant wanted me to post these up for all to enjoy.
A big thank you once again to James, Grant and the crew for an over the top job!

Warren
Very nice knives, those guys can make a concept into reality with amazing results. You can do some serious chopping with the big one

Peter

Peter,

Yes you are right. The conversation was so fluid and the ideas just came together. I think you could do serious damage with either. Thanks for the reply.

That's a great pair of knives.

Those guys at Behring are really special in the custom knife making world. They are in a nitch all their own. Can you think of any other custom knife maker that goes the distance with such craftmanship as the Jim Behring bunch? Us Randall fans are very lucky to have joined with the 2 best knife makers around today, Randall Made and Behring. Both rock!!
Pap

Wow good get Warren!!! So good to see you liking the ADULT size knives LOL!!! Great creations!

Pappy I don't think it can be summed up any better, well said!

Thanks guys for the feedback. Yes the guys at Behring Made are certainly in class of their own. I'm looking forward to the completion.

Warren,

Great Crowns and spacers; really great pair. Kenny Rowe has been doing some great sheaths. Can't wait to see them.

Tom Flynn

Thank you Tom. Those guys have been turning out some exceptional work. Your collection of BMK is nothing short of breathtaking as well. It'll be a several weeks until everything is completed.

Beautiful!!
:-)Rocky

I believe that the James Gang are the guys to watch for the 21st century! Quick turnaround time on top of outstanding craftsmanship!

Sweet knives Bill and great folks to work with, a great combination.

I have heard so many good things about Behring knives that I decided to jump in. I sent an old ratty-handled Model 14 to be beautified with a Behring handle creation, and followed it with a request for a pocket knife, a trout and bird knife, and a fighter. All, I hope, will arrive on my doorstep later this month. I hav already made suitable arrangements in a display case for their appearance.

Well it sound like you're keeping James and crew busy making you a whole new collection. Please follow-up with some photos on arrival and thanks for posting. I'm sure you wont be disappointed with the results.

Thanks, Warren, for the encouragement. I may have trouble posting photos, but I will try.

I have asked for the same handle as you got on your Morseth knife. Can hardly wait to see the result.

We'll get them posted one way or another. Let us know if you need help.

My Morseth blade....

Awesome.

Great looking knife Bill.

Bill,

Post the sheath again; that was the original Morseth Sheath wasn't it?

Tom Flynn

Pete I'll be happy to post the photos of your new set myself once I have all in hand and complete together.

Always here to help where I'm needed, yall!

-GC

Thanks, Grant! I would appreciate it if you post everything for me, as I am a klutz when it comes to submitting photos. I can hardly wait to see them.

Pete

New old stock from his early knifemaking town stamp....He had his first shop in Everett, Wash. and in 1956, moved to Clinton, Wa.

That came out nice Bill. I assume that was the elder Morseth that made that blade?

It amazes me how perfectly the Model 12 lugged hilt fits the sheath!

Beautiful Bill, way out there.

Pap

Pete, I'm going to let you do the talking sir!

These are the knives I mentioned earlier. The one at the top is my rehandled Model 14! I expect these will be on my doorstep by month end. Can hardly wait. This is my first experience with Behring, and based on obvious quality, and turnaround time, it won't be my last!

Pete,

Nicely done. Love the stag on that sub hilt fighter. You getting custom leather?

Sexy blade on the leather & stag, nice lines!! Good gets!!

Pete,

Quite a formidable foursome!

James makes you think about what could be. Takes you from being a collector to somewhat of a knife designer; it is a fun process. Well done, look forward to seeing more.

Tom Flynn

Well said Tom, I couldn't agree more

That's cause you guys are creative........I just have to settle for being a thief & steal your ideas LOL. So get busy HA!

Chief.... Like TV.... You're a Settler!!!

LOL I'm also a pig, I want yours and mine!!!

Well, Warren, I opted to make my own sheaths for the fighter and the trout and bird knife. I've been making things out if leather for over 60 years now, including carved suitcases and saddles, and I need a project or two now.

Pete

Wow Pete that is awesome, you are taking the creativity that Warren & Tom were talking about to a new level!

Pete,

I wish I had your creative hand for such things. Please post up your knives with your leather when you can. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

I should get the knives in about a week. After that, I will cut leather for two of them, probably one in alligator hide, and one with a carved floral design, likely for the fighter, which will offer a bit more space for carving. Funny how I got into,leather stuff....in high school art class, when they discovered that I was colourblind, they threw out my oil painting stuff and handed me a leather belt blank. I have never looked back.......

I really like that sub-hilt!!!

Just wait until you see the scabbard that goes with it! I am still awaiting the knives ( due next Monday) , but am already playing around with dyes and carving designs. Leather will be 8 oz. cowhide, and I am planning a high ride scabbard with a canteen snap.

For Pete

Thanks, Grant, for posting the photo.

Pete

Well that gets a WOW, great get!!

Killer!

Awesome Pete, you did a great job on that sheath. Do you machine stitch?

Well, thanks, Warren, and Chief, too. Happy to see that my little hobby is so well received. As for sewing, I wish! Everything is sewn by hand, with two needles, known in the leather fraternity as saddle stitching. It's not bad when I make wallets, luggage and the like, but just try sewing through a full inch of leather on a saddle cantle. I use pliers on every stitch then, to draw the needles through the awl hole. The second scabbard is well underway....a high ride, with alligator hide, (well, cowhide made to look like alligator) and a canteen snap,for the keeper.,

Pete

That is awesome work, I really like the contrast in the design work. Great looking stag on it.

Just arrived yesterday!!!

Musk-ox Push Dagger with Rowe Sheath Inlay looks like Cape Buffalo?

Tom Flynn

Tom that setup is awesome. My custom Behring Made knives just arrived today. I'll get them posted up this weekend.

Bad Ass right there Tom!

Just two months ago in Lakeland FL this was just a dream. I started this thread one month later when the knives were finished, and just another month to delivery today.
Expectations exceeded, the guys at Behring Made are over the top; Kenny Rowe included!
I'll go back and summarize that an idea came to reality in about 15 minutes. James and Grant went to work and we had this whole package "hammered" out in short order. I handed James two pieces of crown stag and there you go.
The blades are inspired shapes. To those that think these are just "copies" they are not. They are longer, wider, heavier. Add the sub hilts & spacers in copper and nickel silver, Musk Ox center spacers, and pinned stag, and you have a one of a kind set of knives. The package wouldn't be complete without custom leather and Kenny Rowe once again did an amazing job.
Once again many thanks to James and the entire Behring Made team for outstanding workmanship and delivering this set in record time. You guys rock!

Gorgeous knives Warren!

Beautiful pair of knives.

Thanks Steve and Bill for the reply, I'm glad they're home.

Nice handles, what about the blades??

The 19 inspired knife looks bad ass Warren...... very cool.

Pat,

Thanks for asking. The larger blade obviously similar to a Sasquatch, is a somewhat larger profile however still 3/8" thick and 11" long. It's damn heavy.
The inspiration for the smaller blade was to capture the look of a 19 but in a 7" blade. It is proportionately larger in profile yet still 1/4" stock.
The hammer mark finish is quickly becoming a trademark of many Behring Made customs. The flexibility in hardware materials, spacers, and handle material is what is very cool and allows a lot of creativity in development.
I'm working on my next project now and it's going to be awesome!

Thanks Tune, lovin' the result.

Pics, my man, pics!!!

How many more pics you want Pat? LOL!

Duh,, apologies, Warren. I got ahead of myself (while chasing my tail) and didn't look at the earlier part of the thread!!I see those beauties now. Those Behring guys sure do some nice work.

Yes they do Pat and the guys they are using for leather are right up there with em. We've seen some awesome examples of exotics lately coming out of Glacier and Rowe.

Sweet!! And they are adult size too!!! next thing ya know you will be selling those 11's LOL!!

Great get and very nice idea! I'm seeing that set in my future, loving those hammer marked blades.

same here, Chief. It took me a while to warm up to the hammer marked blades, but now I really like them.

A stunning pair of knives. On each of knife, its as if the hammer marks are reflections of the coloration of the crown stag. Beautiful sheathes as well. Congratulations.


Jay L

Thanks Jay. Get going with James and company. You won't be disappointed.

Warren,

Those are absolutely stunning, from the tip of the blade to the crown on the stag handle. Just beautiful.

Good Job!

Thanks Tom,

You guys are missing an opportunity. Amazing workmanship and service with exactly what you want. Get in on it, call James.

Just FYI if you're trying to reach BMK they're out white water rafting for a week. I spoke with both James and Grant last Thursday. They are already ahead of schedule on my next pair of killer knives. Wait to see what we cooked up. You ain't gonna believe it!.

And I have a Solingen Model 14 blade sitting at their Post Office waiting on them.......lol

Correction... JAMES AND TRAVIS are rafting....

Grant is still here. The shop is MINE ALL WEEK MUAHAHAHAHA

Are they treating you like Danielle on American Pickers Grant? lol

Must be as in my mind she is the star of the show!!!!!!

Our Man Grant!!!

Grantmade....formerly known as Behringmade!!

LMAO now that's funny!!

Well, you should look at the rehandle job they did on my model 14! A photo is floating around here someplace......awesome work!

Pete

Oh man James is gonna kill me


hahahaha

LOL NOT!! Hard to find good help.......Great help like you that's impossible. Ya'll are a good one two punch!

James Who????????

Warren,

These two are some of the Nicest 2 I have Ever seen togeather! From the Crown Stag, to the Musk Ox to the hammered blade.. WOW!! Do you have to carry a towel with you, to wipe the drool off these knives, every time you handle them??

PS. Tks for the call the other night. I appreciated it!

Kent

Warren,

Just after I posted my last..I SAW the Sheaths! Oh my Goodness! You will now need 2 towels to wipe the drool off!!

Kent

You are cracking me up Kent. Glad you like them, I sure do. Wait till see chapter 2.
OMG over the top!

My latest from James and Grant. 14 Kit blade with a new Handle. I Love the work they do. It is now being fitted with its Black canteen snap sheath.

Eric,

Great knife; how long is the blade?

Tom Flynn

The Blade is 7 1/2 inches. Randall offered German Kit blade marked only Stainless at the ricasso. 50+ years later it finally got its handle.

Eric,

Well done! You have a great knife there.

Tom Flynn

Eric,

Super job. It came out great. Congrats!

I spoke with James yesterday. Stay tuned for recently forged special blades for new projects in the pipeline. Going to be very special.

This just in from Behring Made, well sort of; they're out for leather. Another Blade show project using my artifact FWI handle material. When I got that artifact net weight it just screamed "fillet knife". Three more masterpieces from the Montana forge. Thanks guys, great job, Triple Awesome!

Warren,

Well said; That is a triple awesome set!!!

The fillet knife is a treasure on its own. The pocket knife FWI Tip is a great one as well. What am I saying they are all special & great. Can't wait to see the sheaths!

Tom Flynn

Tom,

Yes' I'll post the finished trio when complete. We're looking into a few ideas for the fillet knife. Thanks for the reply and the comments.

Great looking knives.

Jesuzzz! !!!!

Warren
very nice set, you are certainly keeping the guys in Montana busy
Can't wait to see the finished set

Peter

Another nice score Buddy! Congrats!

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback.

How big is the large knife, looks sexy, looks tall as well!
Who is doing the leather?

The pocket and fillet will be pouch sheaths. We're still figuring out special skins.
Fillet knife is 11" blade, scale from that but I believe 8"

{Chief doing sign language as he types} Thhheeee Biiiig Kniiiife!!!

Darn Warren....you must catch some pretty big fish!!!
:-)Rocky

Warren is planning a trip to Loch Ness

OMG! thats funny; trying to paint that image in my mind.


Rocky,
As a matter of fact I have on occasion.

James,
Yes I will be on the search for Nessie.

This one is on the way I just found out- just waiting for leather

LOVE the Skulls!

That's old school haven't seen skull hammer marking in a while!
Good to know it's back? Will it be a option in the future?

Sexy knife! Love the extra thick butt plate in copper no less!!!
I am liking that blade style agin. What is the blade length of yours?
There was a mission knife that I would have bought at Blade......but the flowery sheath & ironwood gave me pause.

More on the way. Very nicely done. This thread has way more in it.

Chief, I think it's available by asking. My brother also just had a very cool hunter done up with ghost skulls.
-Gerry

Chief, in my original communication with Grant, I asked him for a blade between 6-7" I won't know for sure until I put a tape in it. The whole knife is a work of art. It has me thinking of a matching Bowie style...
-Gerry

just a quick post....My tri-fecta arrived yesterday!!
Stay away from BLADE, unless you have plenty of money
:-)Rocky

Great looking trio you have there. Enjoy.

Rocky,

Tri-Perfecta! Indeed, well done!

Tom Flynn

Nice Nessmuck Rocky. Is that a hi-ride Warlander sheath?

Thanks for all the kind comments....I'll check
:-)Rocky

Warren
Yes it is!!
You have a good eye!!
:-)Rocky

This 5" Stag Hunter just in from Behring Made. It's loaded; hammer-marked, copper guard, Narwhal center spacer, premium stag with copper pin, and compass. Wow this knife is wicked sharp. Kenny Rowe leather, dyed elephant inlay.
Beautiful job guys, thanks again!

Yup

Nice looking knife and sheath. I just found out today that a mission knife I ordered and a #26 re-handle are done. I have an email with photos embedded into it but have to wait until I get home to post photos.

Beautiful knife Warren.

Ed,

You won't be disappointed with their work. Thanks for the comments guys.

Warren
Not bad at all. I have something from the guys coming, should be arriving on Monday :-)

Peter

Thanks Peter. This was an after Blade thought. More to come on this idea.

beautiful!!!
:-)Rocky

Thanks Rocky. Yeah these guys got it down.

Sexy....to many curves for you!

Lol. Remember the Mae West. That should have been a handle option.

Here's a #26 that I had re-handled and a Mission with cocobolo handle. I'm still waiting for the leather on the Mission.
-Gerry



And here is a photo of my Ghost Skull Mission in leather-

Gerry,

Fantastic re-handle. That really turned out great. You already have a great collection of Behring Made. Who did the leather?

Warren- I honestly don't know who made the leather but I have an email out to Grant to find out
-Gerry

It looks like Kenny Rowe's work but let us know.

It should say on the back. ... No??

Warren,
The Ghost Mission sheath is by Warlander. The Cocobolo Mission sheath will be by Treestump
I'll post up some photos when then land in my hands
-Gerry

This Mission Knife will soon be on the way from Grant and Jim. The handle design was inspired by the Randall #25, but we substituted musk ox for stag horn. Grant sent me these photos, and their work just leaves me speechless. Just brilliant. If there's anyone doing better custom work these days, I have yet to see it. Grant and I are discussing the custom sheath.

And Capt., thanks for the posting photos tutorial. Your instructions worked perfectly. The above are my first photos on the forum.

Bob,

That 25 inspired handle is just out of the park gorgeous. James and company keep creating beautiful knives. Congrats on a great addition to your collection. Also thanks for the sheath information.

Great knife and great pics Bob! 100% all around!

Thanks Warren and Bill. I can't wait to actually get it. The photos are Grant's; I just saved them and followed Capt.'s instructions for posting them. I wish my photos looked that good. I will try to post a sheath photo once it's finalized and I receive it.

Bob that's a beautiful Mission. I couldn't agree with you more on the artistry of the guys at Behring Made.
-Gerry

Glad my "redneck tutorial" helped. Nice knife!
Best, Capt. Chris

Gerry & Bob,

Wow great knives, ideas and craftsmanship. You gotta love what the BMK Men are doing!

Tom Flynn

Well these 3 are complete and on the way. Grant just got back to me with some pics with Warlander leather. The filet knife is dressed in sharkskin. How cool is that? Great job guys and once again thanks for a great job!

SeeeeeeeexxxEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unique stuff right there Warren. Congrats once again!

Thanks Bill and James. Best place where your ideas come true.

Yes Warren, don't know how you will top those 3 beauties.

Pap

Welll.... the thing about that isss....

Pappy,

Thanks buddy. More to come and soon. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Thanks for the reply.

Warren those knives just bring a smile to my face. They are fantastic.

Thanks Ronnie, me too!

Warren,

Nice Exotic sheaths, all distinctively different; great work.

Love that big fillet knife, the shape and handle on that one is a real beauty. You'll have to start catching bigger fish ¿<*)}}}}><

Tom Flynn

Thanks Tom. LOL, I wish I had that fillet some years ago. It would have stories to tell.
