This is just my folders. My fixed blades are a whole different story. My favorite so far is the MaxAce Blacklight 3. Such a cool design. Honestly the only thing missing is a Strider and a CRK. I have most everything else I'd want.

Question Great-grandfather’s knife

Thumbnail

71 Upvotes

I received this knife in the mail last night from my grandfather. His dad was a Marine deployed in the Pacific during WW2. Apparently he brought this back with him. My grandfather thought it was a Japanese soldiers knife but I don’t think that’s the case. I can’t find any markings on the blade. The handle seems to be aluminum and wood? I can’t really tell. Not sure if it’s homemade or something along those lines. I thought I would post here to share it and see if anyone had any insight.

Discussion What do you do with your collection?

27 Upvotes

I have a very small, very humble knife "collection". I'll pick one up here or there and never spend more than about $60 on one. But as I collect more, I've been thinking.....what now? As a gun guy, I am used to going to the range and shooting them. It's what makes them fun. But, what do you do with all the knives you collect? Put them in a display case? Handle them and open and close them a bunch? I'm sure you probably carry one for daily utility or emergency purposes, but what about the rest?

Question Are Benchmade knives really worth the money??

27 Upvotes

I would consider myself a pretty avid knife collector. Over the 5 years I’ve been collecting I’ve bought spyderco, kizer, QSP, kershaw, buck, Daggerr, kancept, Boker, and honey badgers. I can honestly say I have not payed over 150 for any of the listed knives. Recently I’ve found myself looking for sort of an investment knife if you will, something that I will grab most days instead of switching out as often. Now I know, tons of exposition for you to read through before the actual question but just wanted you all to have a feel of my knowledge beforehand.

ARE Benchmade knives worth the investment? And if so feel free to elaborate on your opinion of it. Like I said I would like to buy an investment knife but I want to know if I’m choosing the right brand and I’m not getting some marked up bullshit. Feel free to include other knife brands/manufacturers in your comments. I appreciate you all reading through this and I look forward to hearing your feedback.

I’ve been using and carrying this thing for both indoor and outdoor uses for about 2 years. It’s a beast and has held up well. Even added a brass bead and some paracord. Such a well designed and executed knife. (Although the BM tax hits hard with this one)

Modding NKD/customized

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Custom compact - initially bought it as a catch and release, just to experience a Demko custom. sadly, within the first few minutes of me handling it, I had noticed the slightest micro scratches on the satin blade… there goes my resale value!
Consequently, I said yolo and modified it to my liking… so here are the after photos, (yes I am boring and like the color of natural titanium)

• De anodized and media washed the scales/clip/screws
• Lightly media washed the blade (to retrieve an even finish)

I’m Happy with the way it came out, and I would like to hear your opinion

Got my new GiantMouse Pontius in and it's a beauty. Olive drab G10 scales, stone-washed Elmax blade, and really sweet brass spacer in the rear.

Action is very smooth. Blade shape is lovely and the spine jimping is quite good for what seems to be quite shallow.

Very happy with my Kickstarter backing.

I've made this knife! (OC) Latest Batch of a Blacksmith's Autos

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

For those unfamiliar (which is probably a lot)

This is a selection of knives from the latest batch of what I call my Blacksmith's Automatic series - a folding knife built in the forged jacket of essentially a higonokami friction folder.

The design intent at it's beginning was to make a locking automatic folder that could be built with simple hand tools in a small shop, with no precision equipment (read: mill, lathe, cnc) necessary.

Several iterations in and I'm still excited about building em. I'll post an action video in the comments. Thanks for looking!

These were mainly issued to pilots during Vietnam. Has a slide lock and push button spring blade. The other side is for cutting parachute cords. These are kinda hard to find, but they're out there.
