Let's Talk Knives

Got it
Guess I don’t really run with any “EDC guys” to have ever seen one before.

 

My Spyderco Paramilitary 2 with blurple scales.

 

been eyeing this one for a long time… couldn’t decide if I wanted to go strider or Medford… why not a strider made by Medford?

 

Guns, knives, anything with a motor…. What else is there ?

 

Designed and created by a dear friend of mine… both have custom Kydex sheaths. The Defensive Slasher on the left had a blood groove ground in the center length of blade before it was given to me..
Have many boughten mass produced knives for many different situations and occasions. I decide which knife I carry like deciding which shoes to wear and what surroundings I anticipate.

 

I’ve got the same one. Great knife!

 

For a folder that clips into my front pocket, I like spyderco the best. Not really the best steel, but easy to open and nice rounded corners and edges.

 

Tits
Beer
and
Secret clubs

 

Almost done!

 

The RT Freedom Knife!!!!

 

The Ray Taberican

 

It should simply be called “The Raytriot”

 

At least I save money skipping beer. The other have been pretty expensive though.

 

A Texas one would be fire.

 

I’ll be hitting Blade Show in Ft Worth this Friday. Mrs. Machine is probably gonna hold my wallet and give me an envelope with my “allowance” in it.

 

Good looking knife sir!!!

 

I love my leatherman knives & tools. I use them all the time.

 

I do as well even though they keep dissapointing me. But they are handy and often affordable

 

How have they failed you? I have broken a blade once and the steel definitely dulls quickly, but I carried and used them for decades because of the convenience.

 

I’ve definitely thought about it but it would require an interested buyer first.

 

Look at you working your marketing degree

Their older stuff is definitely better, but that is almost true for majority of brands. 2 years ago I bought their Skeletool to have a smaller variety of options but it could be carried via pocket clip (high reason I bought it). In general it has worked well, but it has the least useful pocket clip I've ever owned. As in, it doesn't stay clipped to your pants. Multiple times it would slide out while I was driving and I wouldn't notice until I needed the knife, I also had it fall out of my pants just about every evening when changing. Its still carried in my day pack, but it was dissapointing since that was the main reason I bought the Skeletool. Otherwise they aren't bad, you have to sharpen them more often then some other knifes but they are still useful. I still like the brand but its not as strong as it used to be. I guess my post you quoted is an over simplification since I would still buy from them.

 

So I made a paring knife from the billet of chainsaw chain and powdered steel canister Damascus. I’m not really thrilled with this pattern. It’s cool but I don’t see the chain in there very clearly.

finished up this little project last night. Victorinox tinker, liners changed to g10, acid etched and bronze washed blades, micarta scales and added pocket clip

 

I just pick this up the other day. It's razor sharp.

 

That’s an awesome job making this look so good! Nice work.
