Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

I've had a couple. Very good quality. They do not look or feel like a cheap Chinese knife at all. But I like Reate more. They make the steelcraft production version knives for Todd Begg. I had a few of those too. $400+ knives from china!

 

Mother of God.

 

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear. One thing I noticed from what I've seen so far is the the word China doesn't seem to appear on their knives. Those Reate's look nice too, starting out at around the $200 mark.

 

Yeah, but really for those prices, I'd rather buy a US made Zero Tolerance. Unless you really like the design of the Reate or Kizer. But both of them are very well made with nice machining and good quality materials

 

My EDC Boker. I had pretty low expectations when I got it for $39. I've been carrying it a year now. Nice recessed release button, never opened accidentally. The clip lets it sit nice and low in my pocket. Holds an edge and has taken a pretty good beating, solid knife.

 

I still kinda want one of those fullsize ones....

 

Picked up this Kershaw 3830 last year at the Knife Works store in Pigeon Forge last year for around $12. Works great and holds a good edge. I would have preferred a serrated edge at the bottom, but still nice.



Other one I like to carry goes on my belt loop and was a gift, no markings on blade or handle but it comes in handy.

 

Chris Reeve Knives are generally considered to be some of the best folders available. And they are very good. When you compare them to Spartan Harsey Folder, the SHF compares very well-I might argue the SHF is a better piece-it is a bit larger and heavier and if you're into the weight, then it might mean CRK wins for you (top: SHF, Bottom: CRK Sebenza 21).





Of course, there are a lot of less expensive knives from companies like ZT, Benchmade, Kershaw, and others that are equally well suited to the tasks of a pocket knife-and certainly a lot less expensive to lose-these are my two favorite high end folders.

 

Selling my new Large 21 Tanto if any of y'all Knife guys are interested.

I've kinda gotten a little out of hand with my titanium and Carbon Fiber.

 

Picked this up in a trade. Super lightweight

 

Nice! I had the limited edition damascus version of that. Great knife, but someone made an offer I couldn't refuse

 

Benchmade AFCK. Been in my pockets for years

 

I've almost bought this one several times. Nice.

 

Those are all nice. I've got a 940, but its just the old green and purple.

 

Thats some good advice, right there

 

Traded a Sage 5 for it. It's has a "cheap" feeling to it. But I love it because it's super lightweight. Also, I really like 154cm steel. I'd take it everyday if I could. All these new Super Steels are a b%#ch to sharpen.

 

I had the green and purple 940 and it was part of my "never trade" group. But.... I traded it to a guy here on TW. Being a knife guy is an addiction.

Guess I'll keep this thread alive
