Dude, a Scuderia Shield shaped palm skinner with the Prancing Horse or Lambo Bull on it would be badass!

 

Nope, no knifes here, I'd probably hurt myself

I have some plastic ones and some IKEA ones in my kitchen drawers though

 

I have one of these (the one at the top Master Tanto http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/csstoreonline_2100_23702302

It's the only knife like it I own, and it's ALL business. I've never used it and hopefully never have to.

It's actually sharp enough to shave with and stab multiple times through a car door without dulling much, not the kind of weapon to take lightly.

I like the OP knife looks like a work of art.

 

I always liked the look of the Tanto blades. I've been into knives for what seems like forever. I have dozens of various forms of folding knives in a drawer.

 

An odd little pocket knife. say's something to the effect of barrett's roofing.

Love the Heckler & Koch! There's something so special about an all-black knife. I would love to have an all-black butterfly knife, but I've never seen one.

 

i have mostly all microtech knives..they used to be made in vero beach where i lived and knew the owner.

i have:

2x LUDT
1x UTX 70 carbon fiber OTF
1x first generation makora OTF(used as my daily knife)
1x Lightfoot Dual Action carbon fiber
1x Boker Ceramic blade
1x kershaw Ti34 ATS

 

My 2 favorites:

Benchmade McHenry Infidel (Black Ceramic-Coated Blade) - true stiletto

Heckler & Koch Snody Automatic Axis 14905SBT - Spear Point/Black Blade/Partially Serrated

 

My daily use knife for the past year or so has been a Microtech ultratech 2. It has been very reliable.

 

Fun to see others interested in knives here. I have collected and also made knives over the years. I have even hand made some of my kitchen cutlery. I have a chef's knife that I made out of a salvaged saw blade. High carbon steel when heat treated and tempered correctly holds an edge like nothing else. Except maybe obsidian. Here's a picture of a knife I made a while ago. It could probably use a little polish on that brass bolster.

Casey- A couple of George Herrons, one fighting and one boot, Bowies by Cooper (yes, that Cooper) and Daniels, and a Schneider boot knife. Can take photos if any one is interested. 50 or so throwing knives by various makers and firms, including TruBal.

I found one of Dad's knives still New In Box, but took it out and the foam on the bed of the box had dissolved all over the metal on the back side!

Gonna put some Mother's Billet Polish to it and will report back..

Moral: Use them!

 

Where's Strangelove? I'm sure he's got some crazy knives.

 

I used to collect Randall's a few years back

Model 2
3- Model 14's
2- model 18's

Since the factory is here in Orlando, you can stop by an tour the museum. They only have a 3 yr wait when you order a knife.

 

My dad gave me a Randall years ago, so fortunately I didn't have to wait 3 years... One used to be able to get a fine handmade knife for not too much money and not too long a wait. Now some of those guys don't even take orders. Kind of like old Ferraris I guess. Except the maintenance isn't quite so daunting...

 

I've been meaning to order one of these for myself.

Whats one of those bad boy's go for? I LIKE!

 

Retail is $130 I think... I just bought a new one for $70 on eBay.

 

Stallone collects knives, interesting link:

I fixed it for you.

 

Every knife that is worth a crap will go through soft armor without a problem. Trying to stab rifle plates with that would would result in your hand coming off the handle, and some really fun lacerations as your finger slide down the blade before you can stop it from happening.

 

The bayonet I found in the woods in my grandmother’s backyard in Statesboro Georgia circa 1965 while digging a fort. I used to practice throwing it to make it stick in a target on the ground. I had no idea what I had.

The WWII knives I found in my dads trunk with his bomber jacket. He flew B17s. No history on the knives tho. The one sheath is burned?

My “hunting knife”: I picked this out & purchased in like 5th grade from a local sporting goods store outside San Francisco. My parents even let me do this. There was a stuffed grizzly bear standing on hinds in attack position on display that I always held in awe. The knife is really sharp...

Ooh, sharp and pointy things. I dig knives and have collected a few over the last couple of years. Some are cheap some are a bit more expensive. Today's knife - a Kershaw G10. It's an amazon special. Cool blade, great knife, but slightly bigger than my typical EDCs. I usually change out knives like I change underwear, in order to properly defend myself against heavily taped boxes and envelopes while at the office.
