Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Dude.



That is a beautiful patina.

 

Yeah that's like a battery acid patina

 

It's a "I forgot I owned this knife and left it in a drawer for 10 years" patina lol

 

Stab a few pigs or ahi. Will patina nicely

 

I patinaed my opinel no7 by using making some Thai food. The garlic and onions and limes did a great job

 

I've been HEAVILY eyeballing this knife for awhile but I know nothing about the n690co steel

N690 is a highly rust resistant blade steel. Not as resistant as H1, but close. I would say it has similar edge retention like VG-10, from my experience.

 

hmmm... Might have to get it then lol

 

This is my new EDC knife. Benchmade 583 barrage. So far, so good!

 

Here is my favorite knife... Benchmade Adamas full auto.



Served me very well in Afghanistan. I didn't want to chance losing it going through Korean customs so now it's tucked away in the center console of my truck at my parents place waiting for me to get home.

I do need to get it sharpened when I get home though.

 

The Buck Lite small may be the ultimate econo pack knife. $20, made in the US, thick enough to do hard work but the right shape for skinning/dressing. Rubber handle, 420HC done right (58RC), good grind. I can't find anything bad to say about this knife, so I bought a backup. One for the hunting pack, one for the truck.

 

I just picked up the mini barage. The full size was tempting but this size was better for me. If they had that one it might have been a different story!

 

Gave away knives last night. Knives of Alaska. Gerbers and some bucks.

I'm down to two hunt knives. . Trying to keep it simple. I stroped them on a old leather belt and they are frightening.

 

Very nice! I also have a Barrage.

 

X2.

 

Where did you pick this up at? Looks like a very good field knife for the hunting pack

 

Got mine from Midway but they're available all over. There's a small and large - the 3" small is perfect for me. The jimping even throws a mean spark on a magnesium bar striker steel.

 

I have a couple of those mora knives, they're awesome especially since you can find them for under $15!

 

Heard these were being discontinued, so I snagged a couple more to throw on the pile
ZT 0550 and 0561

Never owned a 0550 till now tho.

 

Me likey...just ordered one from Amazon
