Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

This showed up today from a preorder I totally forgot about.

Berg Blades SLiM




Next to it's big brother the Golem. The Golem is too big, too fat for comfortable pocket carry so I never carry it. The SLiM is so much better in size. I think I'm gonna have to sell the Golem eventually.

 

That’s a stubby lil bastard hehe cool knife

 

Been playing with this little guy for the past 1/2 hr. Next to the Golem & it's satin blade I was starting to think this SLiM had too much stonewashing w/ bead blasted hardware. But I kind of.like tge rugged working finish look & I absolutely love this thing now. Love the size, bearings are smooth, & Spydie flicks nice. It's a keeper, unfortunately the Golem has got to go.

 

A couple of full custom blades that I had made for me and the wife out of some shed elk antlers we have found.

 

I’m about to try a new thing. I just purchased a Leatherman wave+. I’m going to ditch the pocket knife for a multi tool for a little while and see how I like it.

I’m interested to see who carries both and what the thoughts are on the multi tools as a whole. I chose the wave+ due to functionality. I have a Gerber attached to my fly fishing sling pack and use the shit out of it when I’m fishing. It works but after a few years I have complaints.

 

I have a leatherman wave and carry it a lot, it’s a bit much so not everyday but on the days I know I’ll use it. The pocket knife... well that is always with me

 

The multi tool has been a thought of mine for quite sometime. I’m not sure I remember a day I didn’t have my knife with me. We’ll see how it goes.

 

I carry one of my leathermans about 50 percent of the time. They are so useful. I'll carry my wave when I know there is lots of work to be done, but I'll carry my Rebar or Pulse if use will be lighter. I'll carry my skeletool to the office some days as well. I rarely ever carry my pocket knife and a leatherman.

 

I carry this Benchmade daily, best carry knife I’ve used

This Benchmade I have as well, but stopped carrying it since it’s a little too shiney and a little heavier than the first

 

My most prized knife. Not much to look at, but is a knife that was my late father's. It was his EDC, before EDC was a thing. Probably purchased around 1960 plus or minus a few years. It still finds its way into my pocket atleast a few times a month. It's an old bone handled Case. According to the tang stamp made between 1950 and 1964

 

Made the mistake of ordering a deep carry clip on Ebay in October for my Native 5. It had a 4 week lead time in the listing details but I failed to read the entire description where in the LAST line it said the lead time would be 11-12 weeks. That's a ridiculous amount of time for a pocket clip in my opinion. Anyway I ordered one from MXG a few days ago and now I have one. Theres a lesson to be learned here dont shop on Ebay when you've been drinking lol.

Hinderer Harpoon Spanto

 

This is clipped onto my EDC bag that I carry to work. CRKT Stiff KISS

 

Serviced a few of my knives.

 

How big is that? Friggen nice!

 

It's 8.25 open. 4.75 closed. Blade length is 3.5. DLT Trading.

 

Not a great picture but here's my 100 year old knife

 

Leveled up my fixed blade game. Resisted buying one of these for years as they used to only come with serrations and I worried there was just too much traction on the handle compared to my more bush-crafty knives.

I am so glad I finally got one and I was wrong to wait (except for the serrations). Ergonomics are surprisingly great and comfortable, and the whole knife is just beautiful. Can’t wait to give it a right honest thumping in the woods this week.

Chris Reeve Knives ‘Pacific’. Design by Bill Harsey.

 

Thats a great knife. My dad has been good friends with Bill Harsey since the 80’s and has several of his knives.

 

Bill did a really great design with this one. It just melts into the hand, and has a few useful grips, including a nice choke-up grip with the front choil.

You feel very confident holding this knife. I’m sure if you had to work all day, a smooth handles knife like a Bark River would be a better choice to avoid blisters, but this knife is not as pointy in the hand as it looks.
