***Knife Thread***

Me likey. Watch for fakes though, Brous = expensive and $110 is very cheap.

I assume the screws at the end of the handle would indicate a nice deep carry clip on the other side?

Bionics are around $180 new, so a used at $110 seemed almost legit. You can never tell on Ebay though, same with the striders.

Thinking of getting a few more cheap Spydercos to actually use around the house.

What about a few Mora's? Was thinking of picking a few up for general yard tasks.

Get a salt 1 serrated for around house/yard work


I'm not a fan or serrations on anything else, but it is hardened to RC 67 or so, which is nuts. They're razor sharp, stay razor sharp, and pretty much make quick work of everything..



*edit moras are an amazing knives for the price. I have them literally all over the house, rofl.

Nah fixed, around 3.5 or so. But they're cheap as hell and you can beat on them.

There's also the Svord Peasant.

This seems like a decent deal. May pick it up, idk

I want a Dragonfly Salt straight edge.

The plain edged H-1 steel has horrible edge retention, from what I read..

it is the same steel. A serrated knife will continue to cut long after a plain edge has given up the ghost.

It's the same steel but treated to different RC. Read up on it.. Type H1 plain vs serrated into Google brah.

serrated is a bish to sharpen when it does go dull though

Yeah we'll see how the sharpmaker does on that. Luckily, I only have to do it like once a year, if that.

[darkninja67]

Any new buys?

Nothing for me as I am snagging more cigars and need to save for tires for the bike.

[Valhallabound86]

Next buy will actually be a hatchet. Been wanting a good quality one for around the house.

Anyone ever handled a Quartermaster knife before? They look cool/overbuilt, but the as far as the ergonomics go..

[darkninja67]

kind of reminds me of my MT Vector for some reason ^

People on BF love to trash Qrtrmstr knives. I've never seen one in person, let alone use one.

It seems like it's a form over function style knife. Looks cool, but strange as hell.

Not knife related, but buying this today:



Sweedish steel and Hickory handle for $40. Could use one for some chopping around the house along with my Camp 10.

Alright, so Operation Collection Reduction is well under way.

The Mini Ritter Grip I bought 14 months ago sold this weekend for $18 more than I paid for it.

The 470 Emissary I bought used 2 weeks ago sold for $34.50 more than I paid for it.

The 585 Mini Barrage sold for $31.62 more than I paid for it a few months ago.

I won't say knives are an investment, but with good listing pictures they certainly hold their value.

Now what to buy..... decisions, decisions.

[darkninja67]

lol

and how much did that Nikon body run you? Going to take a lot of knife sales to make up the difference sloop

Get a Bodega if anything

I've made 3-4x the cost of my Nikon AND lenses shooting weddings and senior pictures. I've been at this for years, buddy.




edit: now that I think about it, probably more like 5x over.

Buy my strider PT MSC, I need to sell it to pick up some kitchen knives (richmond laser has caught my eye). I'll give you the cute girl discount (5 dollars off + reach around).

Striders do nothing for me.

Sorry mane.

[mkpat]

First knife I made around a year and a half ago. The blade is steel from a landscaping stake, handle from a cheap cutting board. Very rough I know but always wanted to make a knife.

those look pretty affordable for kitchen swords. good quality? seems sketchy the way they are described as 'clad' but i know very little about kitchen knives. I'd like to get one of those big boys from cut brooklyn after I watched their videos but my current knives do the trick for now.
