Show your knives!

One of our forum members here on NWFA, Bill Seigle is a local knife maker who does great work. Here is a set of camp knives my son has from him. Being washed off in the creek after a recent camping trip.

Been wanting one for a while, stopped by the pawn shop after work. They had it, I bought it. A Buck 110

 

[JeremyK]

As an addendum to my last post, today I was at another pawn shop and they had for sale another Buck 110, in rougher shape but also much cheaper than the one I picked up last month. Since it was the exact same knife, my practical side said "a fool and his money are soon parted..." so naturally, I bought it anyway.

My Buckmaster 184. Picked it up at the PX in Germany in 84. EDC'd it for two years doing border patrol along the former Communist borders. It was just badass. One time I used it to cut a track shroud lengthwise so it would fit my M113. Track shroud was off an M577 commo vehicle. CO said get 'er done yesterday so, yes sir! I put the shammy cloth on the handle one day back in Germany. We were all sitting around drinking bier. I cut the shammy cloth into long , narrow strips, wound it around tightly and held it in place with super glue. It's been that way ever since, through rain, snow, mud, etc. Freaking unreal. Lol.
Gerber BMF's. One I got on a trade back in 87. The other I got on ebay for thirty bucks a couple of years ago. I can't believe what they're going for now.
My favorite all time knife though is the Camillus pilots knife. I have several scattered about the house and in the cars. I've had one since high school and carried it with me in the Army as well. I'll update with a pic.

Aren't butterfly knives illegal in Oregon?

They are illegal to conceal. They are legal to own. Same with switchblades.

Thanks for clarifying. I knew about switchblades and thought butterfly knives were too but wasn't sure.

Here are a few of my ProTechs. These are great autos.

Thanks:

11" Nepalese Kukuri special ordered w/micarta handles and kydex sheath.

Needs a little modification to fit my hand but I have a very good friend that is a big knife guy and can do it for me but I just haven't got around too it.

Tops 9" Anaconda with the hunter tip. Needs a kydex sheath from @ORYGUNHolsterCompany someday, the one it has is ok but not for a fast draw.

I have one similar, but not as pretty. My dad brought it home from the Philippines in WW2. We used it for everything up to splitting kindling when I was growing up. I'll dig it up and post a pic.

This modern Marble's knife may or may not be compared to the originals, but one thing none of them have, new or old, is this great bead work!



I keep buying knives, and I keep having custom sheaths made, but seldom do any of them leave the house.

WAYNO.

Here are a couple of mine.

A Gerber Frisco Shiv, designed by Blackie Collins




A Kershaw Camp Knife, and a CRTK

Given to me by my step grandfather in law who I knew for too short of a time but was one of the coolest old guys I've met.

A friend of his brought this back from the Middle East and I wish I had written down the story behind it because I have long forgotten it unfortunately.

This was a user and not a tourist trophy so I have kept the leather clean and never polished it like I have wanted to many times but it has character. I believe the shape is to get around a shield. It is strong and sharp enough to shave with and IMO as an amature knife guy it would hold a good edge.

Fits the sheath like a glove and without measuring it I will guess it's a 20" blade. Handle is much nicer in natural light and has a few different materials.


If anyone knows something about its origins or if it's just a utility blade I'd be interested in what you may know.

Very cool joe

It's one of my very few prized possessions - mostly from whom I got it from but it's a damn good blade for a potential fight also

Well, about two years ago I had one pocket knife, the Benchmade griptillian on the top left. I got it as a gift from my brother and carried it intermittently. It always felt thick in my pocket so I went looking for something with less girth, Cold Steel got me by naming a knife AK-47. I dig it but pretty heavy and bulky in pocket. Then I wanted a fancier knife, then a knife with more utility, and then and then... This is my current pared down collection, which I'm sure will continue to evolve.

Obscure isn't it. The closest I've been able to find are some Filipino blades like the Dahong palay or the Itak Tagalog. I got nothing.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I think it was made by Elves in Rivendell. Does it glow in the presence of Orcs? LOL

I'd like to show off my Benchmade 3350 Infidel, but it's currently at Benchmade for repairs.
