What's the average price one needs to drop for such a knife?Here's a nice site with most of what's currently available. Of course some of the most desirable ones are no longer available through retail outlets, but only through private sellers. I was lucky enough to pick up a couple from 2010 and 2011 when the blades were still S30V steel. The newer ones are S35VN which is still a very good steel, but just not quite a tough or a good edge holder as S30V by most accounts.
Very nice Sebenza's!! I also collect folders. Most of my blades are in storage except my Benchmade 940 [can't live without a 'reverse tanto'] and my Spyderco Manix 2 [my EDC so I could try CTS-BD1]. When I find the box that has my Spyderpack I'll take some pics. You really do have some nice folders. Keep it up!I didn't wrap the handle of the Snody, but I tied the green and black lanyards on the Large Sebenza and the Acies2.
PS: did you wrap your own paracord handle?
Woah, pretty awesome assortment of knives! So you are definitely a collector at heart it seems :PI'm certain that it's an OC disorder. Before knives and keyboards it was neodymium magnets and before that it was WWII battle rifles, by far my most expensive collecting habit.
Have you ever thought of getting checked out to see if it's a disorder?You know how you know when you are coming down with a really bad cold, the flu or a soar throat? Well, I'm pretty certian it's a clinical disorder. It's not something that's harmful to anything but my wallet, though. ;-) I'm sure that if I explained my habits to my doctor she would say, "Yep, you've got an OCD." And she would suggest that I cancel my Paypal account. Nothin' doin'. I'll just live with it. ;-) After all, I don't end up with scars or a limp, I end up with nice keyboards and knives. ;-) I remember that my dad collected things, too. Still does. He just has different tastes than I do.
Not trying to be funny or anything.

What kind of price range are you looking for?
What is the price point where the quality starts getting solid? I'm prob willing to go up to around $75 but depends on where the bang for your buck drops off
I only have one knife, a Kershaw Skyline 1760 with "damascus" steel. It's the only knife I really need so I don't have anymore :D
Lord de Seis, what's the name of that small Cold Steel at the top? I like it.
Cold Steel Recon 1 is the sharpest knife I have. I want this one but toooo expensive.Show Image(http://www.thebassplace.com/images/3300bk.jpg)
That is cool! I thought that OTF knives were illegal though?He could be an EMT, or Military - they are allowed to have OTF knives.
Oh, yeah thats right. What was that knife you had Ski?Which one? lol.
The one at the meet up that you attempted to use as a cap puller! I believe it was an assist open if I wasn't mistaken, and damn was that thing ever a huge blade.I think I had my Sog Spec Elite I. That's generaly what I carry. It's not assisted open, but it is very smooth. If I go to southside, or when I was at Lejeune I carry a LL-80 or my Smith&Wesson Powerglide II.
Any suggestion for a newbie. I have a POC folder that keeps falling apart that I want to replace.There are a lot of Spydercos and Kershaws that would serve you well there. Great knives that won't break the bank. Do you have any preference as to size, blade shape, etc?

I picked up a Bark River PSK in 154cm a few months ago from KnivesShipFree.com, but haven't found much of a use for it yet. Would be nice if I actually used it as an EDC, but just haven't.Very nice!
Oh well :-[Show Image(http://brkgallery.com/2012/albums/album04/p154_blaze_orange_159_95.jpg)
Okay, the meds have not helped and I've accumulated a few more knives...
Omg. How many Sebenzas do you have? LOL.
For EDC, I would always recommend the Spyderco Tenacious. Nice little knife for $30-40 bucks. Like the G19 of knives.
Nice!! Maybe you would like to share that information with us, hmmm...
Are you allowed to have a butterfly knife? We couldn't have anything in California...

Axis locks are illegal in Texas? I thought Texas had fairly lax laws as far as guns & knives are concerned.

Don't feel like taking a picture yet, but got a nice Benchmade Nimravus for Christmas, and I really like it. Tanto, OD Green, Combo blade in 154CM. Other than that (which is the pride of my tiny collection) I have a couple of cheap Gerber Folders, though one of those was my first knife, so I'm keeping them.
Strangely, they all have metal handles.

Perfectly understand, you need a set of good quality knives to separate the meat from the bone of any animal that comes across your kitchen table. Although I have a slaughter booth down in the back shed were I dispatch personally the delicious meat off the bone. Use to work in a slaughter yard when I was young, for about 4 years.
I can't abide spending valuable cash, buying so-called meat from Coles and Woolworths when they sell only old rubbish masquerading as something that's edible. When you have a nice setup in the bush you can easily eat quality food compared to what most will touch in their life time.

Ya its not easy to get really good quality meat now days. There are a few organic farms around here that do some nice stuff and we just buy 1/4 of a cow and 1/2 a pig etc and put it in the deep freeze. Nothing like the moose and mountain goat I grew up on though...

Again you're living in the last place called FREEDOM, here where I live, pigs can stop and search you for anything that you're carrying and if they find any knife at all you're charged and taken down to the local pig-shop for further fines and questioning.
If they do find you carrying any sort of knife it automatically gives them right to search your place of residence to locate any more so-called illegal items (all what's deemed illegal at the time - it always has more and more items on that list so that it guarantees them more easy charges). They don't need to work hard in getting convictions off the stupid and unintelligent.
Trust me, better to not carry anything except a sharp metal ballpoint pen when you live here in Convict Town :thumb: .

Great, with autos legal here, I have another hobby to get into ::)
I'm thinking Auto Triage for any eventuality.
Well I have a couple of reasons for choosing the Triage. It's Benchmade, so it's going to be of amazing quality, It's an extremely versatile knife, and it seems like a good size for EDC. While those look great, and I don't doubt they're of great quality for the price, I think the Triage suits my needs a little better than Protech would. However, I think I might look into Protech for any gifts as they would probably suit that role very, very well.Great, with autos legal here, I have another hobby to get into ::)

Have you ever looked at Protech knives? http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Protech-Auto--68 (http://www.bladehq.com/cat--Protech-Auto--68) They are built like a tank.
The only issue I have with them is they do not put safeties on most of their knives except for some of the Emerson models.
Don't get me wrong. Benchmade is my #1 favorite, but check out some of Protech's stuff if you ever get a chance.

For emergencies like you're sitting across the table looking into the eyes of someone you want to exact extreme vengeance with (like Dexter did in his last episode), then a basic BIC ballpoint pen will suffice.
Better though to have a full metal casing pen just in case you need to re-adjust your aim in a tight headlock to help penetrate the eyes without the pen body breaking off. It won't kill them but with their surprise and shock it gives you time to up the ante for the final hit. Not condoning killing anyone here just saying what can be done with only a simple pen.

You do know you could've sent it off to Benchmade and had it replaced for a low cost, right? I believe you could have even asked them to swap it out for a satin blade, instead, which would not have had the black coating to wear off.

This is what I use in the kitchen. I prefer traditional European blades rather than Santokus, which seem to be more popular. It's also only 16cm/6 inches. Most proper chefs would use a longer knife, but I don't do enough kitchenwork to make a big knife particularly useful, or to develop enough habitual skill with it to work with one as easily as a smaller knife.

i've only seen the spyderco sharpmaker listed here, i'd like to see what ppl use and recommend to sharpen knives? i don't collect i just want a good edge for cooking, i always use my steel b4 i cut, and my chefs knife is sharp enough to the point that i can use it on italian bread without squishing it
any thoughts on diamond sharpening? i'm thinking of getting a dmt set also whats out there?
whetstone
oilstone?
diamond infused
japanese stone?
are about the weird stuff i've seen and also arkansas stone (i guess it's from arkansas)
Finally found the the time to take some pics of my knives :cool:
Ka-Bar
(Attachment Link)
(Attachment Link)
The well known "standard" combat knife...
Light, well balanced, good grip, I really like it!
Eickhorn KM2000
(Attachment Link)
German army combat knife..
I prefer the Ka-Bar as it feels lighter/swifter to me, also dat plastic handle.
Tops Knives Condor Alert
(Attachment Link)
Awesome outdoor/survival knife, check the reviews.
Gerber Mark II
(Attachment Link)
The well known dagger...
Looks nice, but it's only good for stabbing,
also it features a "slippery when wet" handle, doh!
Smith and Wesson M&P Gen. 2 "M.A.G.I.C." Folder
(Attachment Link)
One of the best EDC and concealed-carry self defense knifes imo.
It's cheap and the "M.A.G.I.C." open assist works very well,
you can even open it in reverse grip.
Fox Knives FX 479 Karambit
(Attachment Link)
Good quality folding karambit with Emerson wave hook.
Actually only good for concealed-carry self defense needs,
but with the right technique this thing can do very ugly things.
Smith and Wesson Black Ops "M.A.G.I.C." Folder
(Attachment Link)
Grippy handle scales...
Overall not as good as the M&P variant imo.
Benchmade Barrage
(Attachment Link)
Nice open assist folder...
Higher quality than the S&W, but more expensive.
Also thumb opening only (That's why I prefer the S&W for EDC/SD)
Benchmade Osborne (943)
(Attachment Link)
Nice quality folding knife, but it's a bit pricy imo.
Speaking of sharp things.....I'd better fix and sharpen the blades on my mower in time for spring.Show Image(http://ext.homedepot.com/community/blog/wp-content/wpuploads/mower-bike.jpg)

After using a larger Benchmade as an EDC for some time I switched the Kershaw Chive and fell in love with the size. It is small but fits so well in that small pocket in jeans, and is more than sufficient for what I use it for. Then, I caught the collectors bug.

It is surpising how different these 3 feel. The rainbow one is definitely the heaviest most sold build with the snappiest assist.

Still have to add a couple more, also the ones I made myself recently (started knife making...)
For the photos I used a single Speedlight (on camera) bounced off the ceiling and in some cases a baking-sheet as reflector :D

Baking sheet...do you mean like foil or the thicker metal that you put cookies on (that's not very shiney)?
I'd like to buy two custom Benchmades... http://customknife.benchmade.com/knives
Unfortunately they ship only to the US, so I need a proxy. Someone willing to help me out? ^^;

Been looking at getting something custom made on that site for a while now. Probably going to get my wife and I some mini Grips with S30V.

Beautiful man! Love the orange! Nice CRs as well! :)
All these knives are too clean.
Anyone use some for line-handling or construction instead of paperweights?

Have any more pics of that 3in?
I got four 3inchers. Two slicers, one wharny, and one spanto, but I don't have all the decked out hardware like you.
Just trying to find a 3in spearpoint now.
For the last few years I have been slowly building a collection of knives. Most of them are pretty generic but I also have a few which I use a lot and that I really like having. I actually started my collection with a bayonet and a dagger, but both of these are now permanently lost (I have a $50 bounty on them for anyone who can retrieve these, more details below).
To start, I have numerous folding knives, but most of them are pretty generic. I do have several that I love though, including a black Spyderco Delica, a yellow Spyderco Dragonfly H1 Serrated, and a Twin Suns Planetary knife. The Twin Suns knife isn't very functional but I thought it looked sick and so I mostly just have it as a display. I also recently joined the buy on Massdrop for the Spyderco Native Blue Box, so hopefully I get something nice there.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/SZCBTXO.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/op6sac4.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/sDDFWCp.jpg)
For fixed blades, I primarily use a CRKT Acquisition although I have a couple of others too. I used to have a Romanian AK bayonet and a German Korium Solingen Claw dagger that I sent into the Sharpening Shack to get refinished since the years had taken their toll on them. The Sharpening Shack has been emailing me for the last year that they will send them back to me "soon" and they keep magically never showing up. I'll give anyone who lives near Chula Vista, CA a bounty of $50 if you can go to their location and retrieve them for me.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mx9TpeW.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/czUaISV.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mbks9Br.jpg)
Oh, almost forgot my wood splitting gear. I use the Fiskars 8lb IsoCore maul and a Fiskars X27 splitting axe. Quite sharp for a maul.

*useful* knives have been missing for the last couple of pages. My knife roll:Well played actually useful knives, sir.

Whoa I just found this. Seems like a nice time to do one of those "state of the collection things". The collection had an s90v Shirogorov Hati and a Flytanium paramilitary 2 but I trimmed it down at the end of last year to fund some proto work and the poly 910 so I just had the 0630 and the 0450 since those were the only ones I had used, but I was offered an ambassador position with ZT at the beginning of this year so the collection has been kinda growing again in the last few months.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/92a9Qcx.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/r0RmTkG.jpg)
