Show us your Shing.....

[Fiskar]

Right, time for a Shing thing,
first up, the Badger with Claro walnut and mosaics....Ditched that sheath, got a much better one now


Next up the Otter in D2 with stabilized Californian Buckeye Burl and stainless....

Finally, the Slippy, again D2 flavour blade. Alternate between Spalted Elm Burl
and black G10 with red liners, and a slip I made from an old wallet.


Had a couple of bushbabies, haven't finished the scandi, and sold the flat grind


Lets see yours!

[Noddy]

Oh! Good idea Fiskar!

Wish I had one to show.

[yellowhammer]

Your slippy is very nice chap Here's mine, D2 and carbon fibre;



I'll try and get some better shots tomorrow Haven't got a fixed blade yet, but I get paid on Wednesday...

Shing Penknife





Shing BTHF (Big Tough Heavy Folder)

[neill116]

Here's mine, a D2 necker which i put lignum vitae scales on, and my Shing Raven with titanium bolster and desert ironwood.......
I think Stew has a similar one made about the same time with damascus bolsters and it's a beauty!!





and with their sheaths.......

[Diamond Dave]

Just received this from Shing and it is a beast!! It is his Integral model with a 7mm blade. It is heavy but that said it is well balanced. A great knife.

[Danzo]

Having seen this I think Shing should have called it the 'Submarine Survival Knife'

Why?

Because it's the only knife I have ever seen that I have absolutely no doubt would allow me to cut my way out of a submarine.



You'd need to drop the bl**dy thing once you got out though, as it weighs more than me.

Oh i like that, I havent seen one of those before, is it an old or new model ?

You did one in red palm a while ago Lawrence! I've just re-profiled the handle, it's Shing's Field knife

[rapidboy]

Oh right, that was a while ago



As far as i know it's now been rescaled but haven't seen any pics of it since.

Nice job on that one, i just thought yours looked smaller overall.
A slightly scaled down, thinner version would be great.

Yep, you're right - it's 95mm blade and 3.2mm diameter, with a mild tapered tang. I think the original had a 110mm ish blade and 4mm width? One of my favourite field knives, works a treat on most outdoors jobs
Thanks for the comment

[luresalive]

Shings you say, yeah i think i've got one or two knocking about..



I still have a few to finish ( and I have another one on order ), but I still need a BTHF, an integral and a new knecker and a.....

ambition is eventually to have more Shings than Shing...

[Fiskar]

Lures' - that's just plain greedy old boy!

What are the bottom left hand two that req handles?

Super collection of Shing's! looks like you need a Bowie though, hehe

[Garnett]

Nice collection Luresalive!

Like Fiskar asked, what are the two unhandled blades?

I'd love something like Fiskar's "Badger" or the "Otter" (or "Field Knife") with a slight drop point like that bottom blade, rather than the spear point.

[luresalive]

The very Bottom one is Shings "Model number 2" it is now one of his standard bush/field designs along with the Badger ,Otter and Baby Bushy. The one above it was a new design Shing was trying out, it's gorgeous, only about 1/8"thick, 3 1/2 inch blade and wonderfully light, I've really been struggling on what to handle this one with...

(A Shing Bowie..Hmm, another one to add to the already massive list!!)
