Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Got this little dude today lol. Spyderco Ambitious. Second pic is of it next to my tenacious.

 

Nice, that might be my next Spyderco purchase after my Cat last year.

 

This has been my go to hunting knife for almost 30 years now..



Nothing fancy but good steel and always sharp. Gets it done..

 

I have one too!
30+ years old and is my favorite skinner!

 

My first hunting knife was a folding Buck 110, and I remember getting irritated with trying to clean the gunk out of the folding lock knife. I went to the hardware store, told them my dilemma, the guy pulled this out of the display case and said "This cures what ailes ya", lol.

That knife has skinned a lot of animals.

 

Happy day when I get a new traditional in the mail! GEC toothpick in stag.

 

That's something I've looked at now and again.

 

I always manage to cut myself with those "old timer" non locking folding knives...

 

im liking spyderco's products more and more. deploying the blade with the hole in the blade with my index finger feels better to me than using thumb studs. gonna have to start saving up for their higher end stuff.

 

Above someone mentioned sharpening systems. The Wicked Edge is a good system but spendy. If you're in the market for that type of setup, take a look at a Apex sharpening system.

 

I like my Spyderco sharp maker. Quick and easy and gives me a nice working edge fast.

 

Those are decent systems, but no where near the percision of an Apex or a Wicked Edge sharpener.

 

Picked up this li'l Olamic necker in a trade.

I believe the drop-point blade is no longer offered from Olamic (maybe as a custom?) and I couldn't really find much info. about it, but I think the Damascus is layered high carbon and vanadium. OD Green G10 handle.

It's my first Damascus knife, so I have been enamored with the pattern and composition. The size is pretty compact, I would say it's akin to an ESEE Candiru or T.M. Hunt Hornet, but the deep cutaway and enlarged handle/pommel area make for a solid and comfortable fit in-hand.

 

Olamic have a nice collection of knives. I went over there on the way home one night (it's a showroom of sorts; MFG is done elsewhere.

This is definitely a nice looking piece.

 

Thanks - it's pretty unique and looks awesome. I'm diggin it.

 

That's like comparing a Mercedes and an Accord.

 

Damn that is one sexy knife!!!

 

I worked for a guy who wasn't cheap but always asked "if you're going to the same place on a short flight; what's the difference between first and economy class?". What he was trying to get at is that often, there's no need for the Mercedes when an Accord will get you there just the same

 

just got the benchmade, lost my gerber, asked for a spyderco for xmas

 

So the "Police" model comes with a beer opener?
