Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Good morning, animals. I wanted to announce that I've cashed out my REI dividend this holiday season and got myself a second Benchmade knife! The 580 Barrage is seven years old now, but doesn't quite fit the bill when it comes to camping knives. And so, we introduce the full tang 162 Bushcrafter.

 

I had gotten some butcher knives last time I was in Germany about 25 years ago and I wanted to up my choices of blades. After finding a great place that imports them I kind of went ape shit. The black handles are for the kitchen and the blue handles are for butchering. I used one of the butcher knives I got on an 8 pointer I just butchered and I liked it so much I bought a few more of varying balde shapes and sizes to try . These hold a razor sharp edge and come right back again with a few passes on a sharpening steel.Shhhhhh dont tell on me ,my G/F asked how many I bought I said just a couple and hid the rest. Luckily they look very similar so hopefully she wont notice . Now I'm on the fence of buying either a half or quarter cow and butchering it my self.

 

You sir have a problem. Hahahahah

 

hand made in ft worth texas by Terry shanks. Leather work by Kenny kirk.

 

dude!!

1-800-nif-adix!

 

Lol nice steel but u gonna need more than a couple boning knives to do a cow

 

I have a few more , these are just a few I just bought. I have an 8 and 10 inch breaking knife and a 10 inch cimetar and a bone saw. Only thing I dont have is the freezer room for a half or quarter cow.

 

Does the Dick Ergogrip feel comfortable in the hand?

 

The girlfriend says my F.Dick ergogrip feels just right.

 

PSA

You collect things made of metal then they need care.

Sharp bits of metal are dangerous.

This blade is like a razor, almost cut the top of my foot wide open.
Cleaned and oiled, put back in scabard, then in cloth bag, gave the bag a little wrist snap to get dust off... holly hell!
Blade flew out and smacked my bare foot with the back of the blade and it still drew blood.
SO LUCKY! This thing is a razor.

I dont mind looking like a dummy if it helps reinforce caution.

 

Here's my EDC...

 

That’s not a knife...

This is a knife!

 

Went to a gun store to browse; Not ready to pull the trigger on a new gun (pun not intended, or is it...?), but ended up leaving with a new Benchmade...

 

Also bought a new patch at the same gun store!

 

Love my Benchmade too!!!

 

So some of you carry the same knife everyday? How boring. I select what knife I will be carrying like I do my handgun. I open the drawer/safe age take out whatever strikes my fancy.

Keeps life interesting!

 

I have the same problem. It's hard to go browse and not decide to go home with something.

 

Hey, if you have one that works for what it is needed for then nothing else is needed. It works fine for some people.
But I am the same as you - I rotate through a bunch of different ones to carry, and on top of that I have at least 5 in the truck and another 3 in my desk drawer at work.

 

Perfect timing...

Dig it but mixed feelings on purple standoffs. I like them but would have also liked a purple aluminum backspacer.
