Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

@naaack is that your

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

benchmade 940 that MC featured on the ultimate knife mod video?

 

I had to youtube metalcomplex's video. No it's not but very very similar.

That's the reblade #17 (-11 thou bte)
Mines #13 (-9 thou bte)

 

Thanks @cubie for vouching for me on a blade forums listing.
White River backpacker s35vn and bought the grips from White River direct. They definitely hook you up with stickers.
PS, cheap Walmart gun cleaning kit wood boxes make a great place to keep your knives if you have a small collection like me.

 

I have one of those in my dayhiking packs. Great little knife!

 

Slick little knife

 

Oh course you would post this…you let me know when your done with her!
Still kick myself for not buying that behemoth when you posted it. Now that I am up in the mtns, I could have used that for all my pruning!

 

I traded the Behemother to a buddy of mine for a rifle. He's using it up in the mountains right now!

I'm gonna hold on to this FK2, it just melts in your hand!

 

Not sure I posted the xmas present but the little lady got me a Rike Tulay then I just picked up this Ultratech that matches my UTX 85

 

Not really a knife per se...but...the Carothers/Keffeler K18 has earned the crown as the pinnacle of my CPK collection. It is indeed a formidable blade to behold.

The attention to detail is incredible but easy to overlook or take for granted - the scalloped indentations, the slightly ribbed texture contouring the length of the scales, the beautifully ornate pommel and how the grooves blend seamlessly into the smooth polished base (and the subtle rainbow hues), the perfect beveled edges throughout....and those GRINDS!!!








Here's a pic of my "Zombie" collection....the Zombie Light Chopper (ZLC), the Zombie Behemoth Chopper (ZBC) and now the (Z)K18. I think it's about time for a photoshoot with the Whole (CPK) Fam Damily!!!


....and a picture with a li'l Leek for a bit of scale perspective:


....and some red spray paint on the shop floor lent itself to be a perfect backdrop for the K18:


I dyed the Gray TeroTuf scales BLACK- and they actually turned out pretty good! Of course, this was solely a cosmetic choice; I think the black is a better contrast with the acid-wash and polished pommel/hardware, and will look great with the black leather sheath that will house the "beast" when not in use.

We'll see how well it holds up over time and with some real-world use, but after swinging it around the shop and destroying some (empty) beer boxes, my hands weren't dyed black and it looks/feels amazing! +10 Stealth points!

Finished Result:



Under BRIGHT light, the dyed TeroTuf almost has a dark denim appearance with dark blue undertones. I love seeing the different textures of the TeroTuf vs the Micarta liners.



A comparison between the Gray TeroTuf and the Dyed Black TeroTuf:



...And a few other pics for fun....

 

These are serious. Love them all

 

My Mall Ninja game just got serious!

 

NICE!

 

That's sick!!!

 

@cubie

 

Too bad CPK didn’t have that blade when Jeannie and I were in Knife or Death! I passed on it. No need for one. Lol

 

Oh, c'mon Jonny! You know you need this super practical double-edged 18" sword for EDC!

 

It's a sweet blade. He's coming out with 22" katana next. That one is going to be epic. Carothers is at the top of the game right now. I would even rate their steel tougher than Busse's INFI.

 

Shameless Carothers plug...
