Pocket Knives what do ya' Got

[langloisandy]

Very nice. Chris Reeve makes a great knife and S30V is awesome blade steel. Bet that put you back a pretty penny.

And worth EVERY penny!

I have had enough broken knives (and other tools) over the years, I would rather give up other things and have a nice knife (or gun etc) than have multiple cheap items.

 In the long run you save money paying $100 once over $10 every couple years.

Just got off the phone with a lovely young voice informing me that my torsion bar, safety catch and an installation tool to remove the torx screws will be in the mail tomorrow from Kershaw Knives.

I'm gettin' the fling back in my spring!

Thanks for the tip Kid...

 

Congrats and enjoy. The Kershaw service is very impressive. No questions asked, no postage due.

This is a subject close to my heart.  I'm what some call a collector.  If I were on the news for something bad, reporters would say I owned an arsenal.  They have to be leftys, or at least ambidextrious.

A small sample

Drool on my keyboard, drool on my shirt. That's the best looking "small sample" I've ever seen. You've got as much money in that small sample as many of us have put into our guns.

Mighty fine.

Do you just collect or are you trained in use?

Overload and other knife aficionados, 

If you are ever in NYC, you need to visit this place.  A custom knife lovers paradise and Larry the owner is a fantastic guy.  You may spend an entire day going through the curios of incredible high end custom knives.  Overload, your collection seems to be calling for a Tom Watson knife.....very nice design and craftsmanship.  The Butch Ball knives are works of art.

Cigar bar and large flat screen TV with leather furniture round out the perfect room.  Also a great Italian Restaurant downstairs in the heart of Little Italy.

Have a look.......

I just collect.  I'd like to take some courses, and I am in the area for the Martial Blade Concepts Camp, but I think it's too advanced for someone with no training.

I do carry and use every knife I own at least once.  I carry a knife to work, and use it to open boxes and whatever else needs cutting.  Today I have a Mike Draper, a lefty Talyn different than the ones above, in my pocket.

Overload,
That is a nice collection. I know I am a sucker for good quality knives too, but I am just starting on mine. Where do you normally buy your knives? I have used Dave's Knife World and have had good luck with them.

I can't imagine why ANYBODY needs those evil black assault knives, there ought to be a law !



Let the fun begin

  All around: some from the makers, some from the knife boards, some from purveyors.  Going to knife shows, like BLADE in Atlanta is popular.  It's taken me years to amass my collection.  There are many good Internet purveyors like bladeart.com, truenorthknives.com, edcknives.com and others.  There are also some great retail stores, like Plaza Cutlery and the one mentioned above.  The places I just mentioned are good sources for CUSTOM knives.

  Production knives are a different story.  There are a lot more places to get those.  I've not used Dave's, but the web site looks good and has new stock, but they need to update their NEW ARRIVALS page, and their search engine is poor.
