Knives anyone?

[rayfieldclement]

I prefer Cold Steel http://www.ltspecpro.com

They have Great knives, Great swords and the swords are carbon steel so they work better than stainless. The also have a FREE CATALOG!

I have always liked the Trailmaster since the late 90s.

For production knives I prefer Spyderco

I prefer Benchmade for production knives, or Chris Reeve for custom knives. I also like a lot of American Kami's stuff, I really want one of their tomahawk's.

My Benchmade 635 Mini-Skirmish is one of the best knives I have ever owned, I wish they were still in production, as I would get another just to have as a spare.

I really want a couple of the Chris Reeve Sikayo knives, and I already have one of their "Pacific" fixed blade knives.

Holy crap! You are quite the Spyderco collector!
My dad collects Spydercos too.
He just picked up the Spyderfly Rainbow last week for $200 at a gun show.

Spyderco makes awesome knives. I've got a Paramilitary 2 in my pocket everyday :awe:

 

[lxskllr]

This is mine. They don't make it anymore.

 

[fatpat268]

I may be the oddball here, but I find spyderco knives to be ugly.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'm kind of partial to the Kershaw "leek"

Never rusts. I left it out overnight with salt water on the thing. Brilliant technology.

I have a Kershaw g10 tactical colab. I have a 30 dollar spyderco tenacious that is awesome.

Not sure if applicable to this thread - but I am getting more into preparing food at home, and I'm interested in maybe getting into the world of Japanese cooking knives. Anyone tell me where to get started forum-wise or anything else?

 

[AgentUnknown]

I mean Zero tolerance g10 speedsafe.

I must admit I GENERALLY DO NOT LIKE KNIVES. I prefer guns and bats and mace. I am a big mace fan. Are there any people who dislike knives like me?

 

[DigDog]

not really but i also am a mace fanboy. nothing like a flanged italian 1600s.
http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-3341-16th-century-italian-mace.aspx

as for knives, i use kitchen knives.
or a katana. depends on the mood.

no srsly, i don't do outdoors work so what would i want a knife for? for fun i'd rather have a sword.

 

[Harrod]

I picked up some of these for cooking, I like them alot but am worried about breaking them. http://www.amazon.com/Stone-River-2-...ds=stone+river

 

[CRXican]

I have a Kershaw Blur, the folding Ka-Bar ZK Tanto. That's about it. I try to restrain myself.
