Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Much Likey!!

Would be a perfect hunting knife. Reminds me of one my old man would carry.

 

I wonder how they got it so shiney. Maybe the red is the micarta.

 

hmmm.....i served in the army long ago.....i wonder if they would stamp one for me with proof of service or is it active duty only?

 

My lady couldn’t decide what one to get me so she got both.. pretty stoked

 

I have some spare new ano blurple stand-offs if you ever wanted to change up to 940-1/2

 

Someone posted a bug out w/CF scales. Pretty sweet knife. Thanks for posting!

 

Anyone have a Bradford? I know there's a few here. Seriously looking at the 5.5 Elmax, never owned an elmax, but I've read great reviews.

Does she have a sister...my girlfriend wants to know lol

 

I thought it was for active but I would hit them up and see.

 

Thanks man! I might just take you up on your offer...

 

You’re very welcome.

 

Now I just need carbon fiber scales for the mini 940. But seriously, this is a hard choice for what to carry out tonight.

Sorry guys, i didnt mean to cause any friction.
Just really was a PSA to the knife shoppers here on TW... was not trying to badmouth BladeHQ.

Was the best card theft i have had yet!
Having been informed by BladeHQ i could take action before the skimmers got any charges on my card.
Went to bank, they killed the old card, printed up a new card (debit card) and i was on my way.

I need to stay out of this thread, makes i guy spend money...at least i am a cheapscape...a couple of you guys probably have to have knife insurance. lol

Here were the offenders, bunch of junk i didnt need...

 

Some of the "mass production" companies do runs for makers with limited quantity.
Reate
Medford for the the Strider AR
Medford or Strider made to order
Spyderco is always doing dealer specials and sprint runs
Fox knives
Liogn Mah designs
Olamic cutlery

That should get you started

 

How could you leave Benchmade out of that list?

 

If you look at that list most all of them are going to be low production high quality knives where some will one off mid techs. Besides spyderco which I just threw that one in there just for the insane # of sprints and dealer exclusives. Benchmade doesn't even come close to touching spyderco in that arena

 

I'm warning you it's a downward spiral. If you really want to get crazy just listen to the knife nuts podcast. One of the guys makes knives and does batch runs his knives are super sexy and smooth. If you like the punisher look at the Chaves Redencion it's super slick

It started for me when a friend sold me a early 2000's handmade knife, then a cheaply handmade Damascus fixed, then a automatic, and a lot of money flew outta my wallet from there on. If I could start over, I'd wait till there is a gun show in your area, and you should see a lot of knives there and get to handle them. I was soo fixated on getting a Mcusta Damascus flipper, ordered it was kinda let down. My friend who sold me the knives, thinks spyderco's are ugly, yet respects my views on them being a fantastic user first not a piece of art. Once you see and handle many different companies product your taste may greatly change. That is what makes this a great hobby!

 

get your wallet ready......
