Show your knives!

[OFADAN]

It isn't very high speed-low drag but it fits my style and needs. Just got back from a 1 1/2 week traditional muzzleloader deer/elk/bear/mtn lion hunt and this knife earned it's keep!





In addition here is my EDC knife...a Limited Edition Benchmade Griptillian with factory laser etched OFA logo.



I don't have many earthly possessions, nor have the interest to possess much, but what I do own I try to get the very best I can afford (which isn't much!)

Sun195 I love that cleaver!

Sun195 I love that cleaver!

It's a great cleaver, but I still haven't gotten used to that style to be really proficient with it. I find myself reaching for a standard chef's knife for most things.

Thanks, Mr. Sun195.

I forgot to add the BURN, it's a Square-Button Latama modeled after the 1950's model, with honey horn scales, hollow-ground 154CM steel and nickel bolsters... I use it to open letters.

lol, that picture is foul!

Once you spend about $1,700 for a knife that's what dinner looks like for awhile...

I used to carry a CRKT M16-00F (tanto blade, carbon fiber handle) for a good 6 years until I moved here - lost it the first time I rode the MAX.

Recently I purchased it's replacement, a CRKT M16-13T (drop point blade, half serrated, titanium handles). It's significantly bigger than my last, but I no longer have to snap my wrist to get this one open thanks to the thumb assist. I still miss my old one though...

a quick snap of some daily carry folders i have on hand.

i found the gerber on top at the bottom of a bin full of knives at a pawn shop. bin was marked $10. it is a pre fiskars portland marked. i have no idea of the value, but it was unused and still had the factory edge, i think i did okay.

the blue case copperlock i bought yesterday at sportsmans. it was on clearance at $25.

the benchmade 556 griptillian i bought at the factory last year.

and an old kershaw. i broke the tip off the blade. reshaped and resharpened it. made it too short for the blade to engage the lock, so i removed it. the benchmade replaced it as my daily work knife, so it has benn retired to mail opening duty.

Benchmade auto-axis knives are like 1911's, everybody should have at least one.

Benchmade auto-axis knives are like 1911's, everybody should have at least one.

I thought we weren't allowed to have those in Wa State?

 

[Frog]

He keeps it in Oregon, right Doc?

 

[Doc In UPlace]

Em-zackly Mr. Frog. Auto knives are legal for police and active military up here, the wierdness of Washington's arms laws cannot me measured.
I believe it's also legal to own auto knives here but you can't carry them. They have to carry themselves.

Of course everything you see in my pictures are airsoft replicas including the knives.

 

[Spartan117]

That's right Doc. They do have to carry themselves and they actually have to possess themselves as well.

 

[ZeroRing]

All of my knives are possessed.

 

[Doc In UPlace]

Self-posessed, airsoft anti-zombie knives, that's the ticket!

Here's one of my faves, the Microtech CFO-II 154cm blade, I ran across the pic earlier today, this is one of 10 with HP blade, from about 2004.

 

[Frog]

Very nice, Doc

Microtech makes a fine assortment of knives. And their 'autos' are so very smooth!
