Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

You can definitely find scales (or make your own) available for some brands. I like titanium and carbon fiber. G10 is another nice material.

I have a couple of fixed blades that have stag horn handles. When I'm interested, I usually want to see the individual piece before deciding. DLT Trading usually offer photos of their stock to allow you to see the selection.

 

For some reason I find a lot of knives I am drawn to have carbon fiber scales. I don't care for frn or g10 and despite knowing there are possible aftermarket options I will avoid knives with g10 or frn. Titanium is fine with me and I love wooden scales but seem to not care as much for many models with wood

 

I don’t care for the wooden scales but a couple of CRK’s that I have are beautifully detailed with wood. Maybe I’d consider wood going forward?

 

Love your 940 collection. Recently lost my 940-1 on a hike. Picked up the bladehq M4 exclusive recently. Also got the new carbon bug out. We have similar taste .

Sub’d but this thread is not going to be good for my wallet. Much like this entire forum. I’ll post up a pic of my collection later.

 

One of the reasons I chose this reblade is this reblade isn't as pointy as his others. Makes it more of a user for me and not having to worry about breaking the tip.

 

can you post a picture with it closed?

My EDC is my Kershaw RJI. I like Kershaw's assisted opening best, and the weight and size make it a great EDC knife. If I ever lost it I wouldn't cry too hard. My BIL lost an expensive Benchmade at LAX. I lost an inexpensive S&W folding Tanto at Ontario. I had it attached to the strap on my pack and went through security. They x-rayed it 3 or 4 times before finding where it was. I couldn't find it either, but it was in a black pouch on a black strap. I was certain she was wrong until we found it. Later I realized I had left that knife on there when I was in Hawaii a month earlier which means it was missed in Honolulu. Hmmm...

I have a couple of Benchmades, an 810 SBK Contego and a Nakamura Axis 531/1000 first production. A SOG Tech Bowie, a bladed Key-Bar, some CRKT stuff, a bunch of S&W stuff I often pick up when buying ammo for some reason, a mini Rambo knife (it's actually a pretty nice knife) I use to open mail, and an assortment of Victorinox, odd knives I pick up here and there, old stuff that was my grandpa's, a bunch of these brass and wood handled folders Sears used to carry. When I worked there I bought one of each size. I have an assortment of butterfly knives and some pens, that are knives and a KaBar Tanto in the Tacoma, and a bunch of commemorative and decorative stuff.

I've carried a knife since I was 10 or so. I always saw it as a right of passage as a kid. Lots of guys I grew up with got two things right around that age. A good folding knife and a Ruger 10/22. A knife or flashlight is always a good gift for the men in our family.

I had some kool-aide hair nit-wit at Target freak out once because I used my EDC to open a box. You would have thought I pulled a sword out like Jim Belushi in the old SNL Samurai skit. My wife and I were hiking in Glacier NP and had another couple come up with the wife holding out a can of bear spray with a zip tie through the trigger. "Sir, sir, might you have a jack knife to remove this?" You would have to hear her voice and see these two, but it was funny as Hell. They were strangers in a strange land. My wife used her EDC to cut it off, but I could see this gal looking at the SOG Bowie on my pack strap and having a clutch your pearls moment. My wife gave the husband a disapproving look that let him know, "You were not prepared; man-card revoked".

 

I carry that Benchmade Nakamura

 

What makes the

$218 benchmade 940 EDC knife with green 6061-T6 aluminum handle (940)

benchmade 940 so popular?

 

Love mine as well but prices have gone up on them since they’ve become impossible to find now so I carry it less

 

Holy shit they have. I've got the M390 as well. May have to start carrying my swiss army.

 

blade length, overall size, disappears in the corner of your pocket yet it’s a very useful blade size. My only gripe with the 940 is the height of the blade because it makes it difficult to sharpen and get the angles right on my kme sharpener

 

Benchmade Bugout, Carbon Fiber. Beautiful.

 

Very nice. I have an aluminum Bailout with M4 steel. What kind of steel in that one?

 

CRK small sebenza 21 knife art exclusive.

 

The steel is S90V
