***Knife Thread***

[jafomofo]

$50 for g10 scales is a lil steep for me. I wish they were just slabs instead of the kind that cover the pommel.

I bought the powdered rit. Ill do my Izzy II this weekend and see how it turns out.

oh yeah they are pricy as fock but with the special deal they worked with esee its reasonable. You have to look at it from the perspective that if you bought them new the maicarta handles would cost 40 based on the base price of the knife

Pocket knife collection....



If anybody is interested in a used but good, to very good condition Victorinox Spartan, let me know. Its the translucent blue one laid horizontally.

[Nagalfar]

A different kinda blade..

[jafomofo]

picked up a few new ones. Traded my spartan phobos out for a ratmandu. Great knife, comfortable. Sized in between the esee 4 and 6. Little concerned about the blade pattern and the tip.

Also got a ka-bar TDI straight edge neck knife and my spyderco schempp rock from the amazon sale. Liking them both. The TDI comes with an IWB belt clip sheath which is very nice. 2" blade, comfy and could be used as a karambit. The schempp rock is the first knife that I have owned in VG10 and its interesting in that it is crazy ****ing light. Almost feels like a toy compared to an equivalent sized 1095 blade. The sheath is literally worthless. I'll post up pics when I get around to it.

I saw the RMD trade on the Esee forums. I was meaning to ask how you liked it.

I wanna lay the cash down for a custom or semi but damn. I could buy 2 Esees for the price of one almost.

What semi? I'm absolutely done after the 4 i ordered shows up today. The only 2 other knives I would consider are the recurve camp from backwoods or the 115% mountain from crosstown and I'll sell some of what I have to get those.

The RMD is a great size, comfy handle. Blade is similar to the 4 but a touch longer and the different profile. Fits very nicely in between the 4 and 6.

Still haven't gotten around to making my sheaths. All my spare time for the last 2 months has been devoted to building my son a swingset and/or clearing out some of the woods by my house. Getting close to done on both of those though so I'm hoping to have something done here in the next few weeks. Anyone else try their hand at it yet?

I thought about getting one from him but they are pricy as fock and I wanna see how my attempts work out first.

On a related note Howes knife shop is liquidating all of their ESEE knives. 43 for a candiru shipped. 58 with scales. Some other good deals too.

Thats a lot of coin for something small enough to potentially get lost easily.

Well I had a trade lined up with one of the guys on the esee forum for a nimcub 2 and boomslang but he 'sold' them somewhere else. I think he had second thoughts and he seemed a little shady. I was really looking forward to trying to blue the boomslang.

[jafomofo]

Not sure about the pins but that is most certainly a gentleman's knife.




-Black micarta
-Red G10 liners
-SS pins & tube
-Satin Spine
-8 1/4"overall with a 4 1/8" blade
-Red paracord lanyard with silver skull bead
-Antique 1095 blade


edit: also of note, amazon has the becker bk2 for sale for 55 dollars right now.

Who makes those knives Jafo? Damn sexy for sure. Did you get in on Bringers giveaway?

[joecam18]

Dat brown one hnnnnnnnnggggg

[jafomofo]

I did, its crazy how much stuff he is wrangling to give away. Not sure if you saw his last giveaway but the guy that won the decked out esee 3 turned around and sold it on the forum. Pretty cool of him to go from that right back to another one. I'd like to get that core knife credit.

The knives above, the left one is a backwoods hunter recurve and the other one I'm not sure. May also be backwoods, looks similar enough or maybe KFU but the only name he gave it was the bukspik and I cant find that anywhere.

Just sold my Kershaw Tanto for $20. Gotta bring some new meat in and experience the wide world of knives

[mcichocki]

Dunno how many of you know about Snody knives. Look at that stack of metals...daymn!

saw him selling a truckload of little blue handled knives on BF around christmas, looks like the kind of knife someone from the jersey shore would have hidden in their purse.

What's the story on the silver and gold?

Yeah...I'm not a fan of his knives really. He seems to be into selling metals lately, unsure of the background on why he's selling here at support. He's moving some BIG amounts though which is interesting to me being a trader. Knives and tangibles go hand in hand for most collectors, just thought I'd cross post really.

Anyone who is considering a candiru, howes knife shop dropped their prices to clear out the last of them. 40 for an OD candiru, the orange G10 scales are 10 each. shipping is free. I picked up an extra set of scales since this little sucker is growing on my quickly.
