Let's Talk Knives

Looks like some Morgan Silver dollars (1921?) and a Liberty quarter?

 

Why do you think I had you make my kitchen knife with a design inspired by the Spartan swords in 300? Onions aren't the only thing it'll cut that make people cry...

 

My kitchen knife made it, surprisingly. LOL

 

There’s a good chance that those coins are worth more than the knife. I have never researched it and don’t really care. Have about $60.00 (face value) of silver coins and Indian head nickels that I divvied up into 2 piles for my 2 sons to inherit.

 

My dad has a pretty extensive coin collection. Krugerrands, rolls and rolls of mint condition silver dollars, double struck and other blems, several each of the state quarters, and tons of 100+ year old coins from US and other countries. One of his favorites is a bronze coin from a whorehouse in Nevada in the silver rush era. It's good for one beer on one side of the coin, and a trip upstairs on the other.

 

That really is a dang fine filet knife!!!

 

Beautiful

It ain’t cheap, but starlink might solve those picture loading woes

 

And now we need to "Freshen up " the tackle box plus add a few new poles to the "Collection"

This will definitely be a "Working Show Piece"

 

Those aren’t foreign coins…

 

Only if you’re @Outbound or @Cpl_Punishment

 

I know... I just gotta bust balls because it's not a standard reference; but it's still better than when he was using chili peppers and such as a "scale"...

 

Did you grab this one???

 

The one with the hole is 1871
The one in really good condition is 1902. That other one is 1925. Most of the silver is from the ’40s and ‘50s or it’s Kennedy 1/2$ from 64, just before they fazed out all silver.

 

I don’t think you knew.

 

I zoomed in and saw the word 'liberty' on the one coin, but I'm still bustin' balls over it

I've got a ginormous penny that I'll send you to use; it'll make your knives appear to be tiny!!!!

 

I keep coming back here looking at that filet knife!! it’s like a magnet!

 

Yes I did...

The "Artist" and I had a long discussion about what I wanted and this far exceeds my expectations..

You guys have some sweet knifes! Hopefully at some point I can aquire some custom made ones.
I've been into knifes for many years, since I was about 10. That's over 50 years ago. Some I've lost. Some I've given away to friends and family. I've never considered myself a collector but I do like knifes.

Here are some I have now (that I could find) OKC and Spyderco are two of my favorite knife makers.

 

^^^^Nice!

 

The blackbird is my go to outdoors knife.

 

Knives are definitely an addiction. Albeit, a relatively healthy one!

 

Could have a way worse addiction.

 

RT in action.

 

Yumo!

 

Lost my daily carry Protech Runt a couple of weeks ago, was pretty bummed. Luckily was able to find an almost identical replacement as the one I had is discontinued. Stumbled across this behemoth too and couldn’t say no. No idea what I’ll use it for, but that’s besides the point.

 

How do you like that runt? They have been catching my eye lately

 

For me, it’s the perfect every day carry knife. If I were working in the field/construction/or the likes, I would probably opt for something a little larger.

Their Sprint model is nice too, was about to order one of those before I found the replacement Runt on a random web site. If they had two of them, I would have ordered both. Can find them with the unfinished blade pretty easily, but not the black blade.
