Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

SA-L, plus a set of G10 grips for it.

 

A lot of the Microtechs are Elmax, both fixed and autos. ZT does a bunch of folders in Elmax too.

 

I'm never sure which is better. s35vn or Elmax. The later is harder and has better corrosion resistance. But in a fixed blade, is that really better?

 

Any of you guys collect bottle openers? Just got this one from a local maker here in socal. Solid brass sitting next to my buck 110.

 

No. Bottle openers, no. I actually quit trying to collect anything.

That buck110 is a freakishly good knife. Mine takes a wicked edge.

 

Gerber Propel Downrange. Made in Portland Oregon. S30v steel, G10 grips and a glass breaking lanyard loop.

 

Built this for a buddy of mine last year... Helle Blades can be bought rather reasonable if you want to put your own handle on them...

I made the leather as well. It has a Kydex liner in it to prevent cutting out the stitching. He's a die hard hunter, and I put handles on about two blanks a year. Tat one is birds eye maple with cherry.

 

I'm a big fan of Hinderer Knives.

 

I was just given this today by a Marine friend who is moving back home. Second cool knife I've gotten that way. Like the USMC combat knife before it, this will see a lot of camping use.

Ontario Raider Bowie SP10.

 

I wish I could find a WW2 original!

 

Randall Model 1-8" in O-1 steel.

 

Newt Livesay Executive LP.

 

Buck Knives Custom Shop 110. G-10 handle scales, S30V blade steel.

 

Quick pic of my Strider.

 

I didn't know the design had been around that long. Haha. But then I don't know anything about knives. Of the bladed weapons/tools I own, I think I purchased only one, which is the Gerber folder that I carry. Everything else has been gifted to me. I don't know why people think I'm this knife guy, but I guess if people are offering up nice knives, I'll definitely take care of them while putting them to good use.

This Raider Bowie is really nice for something that costs..what - $60? I have a Gerber Downrange Tomahawk that I use for camping and zombies, but the weight and balance of this thing makes me feel like it will do as good a job or better at a lot of tasks.

 

USMC Raiders... WW2 Pacific Theatre. They carried that knife.

 

Might sell my Techno S30V. Perfect little beefy badass knife. Just never gets any carry time.

 

I absolutely love my Techno. I carry it more than anything else. GLWS.
