Let's Talk Knives

Love my Moore Maker double locker

 

What’s not to like. I love when carbon steel shows it’s age.

You and me both, they have some Rams Horn knives also that I’d love to have.
You have quite the collection!

 

Thanks, been hoarding for years, just recently starting refinishing old Gerstner chests to store them in.

Best way to store them that I’ve seen so far!

 

My latest, an O52 from the late 60’s.

The knife drawer was getting a little cluttered so I reorganized and used it as an opportunity for a few quick photos.

I have always been a Kershaw fan


Gerber is also a good EDC for me.


I grew up with Swiss Army knives. The one at the bottom (right the way the photo is turned) was my first knife - Dad gave it to me when I was 6 years old. I have a bunch more of the thicker ones, but they are in the truck, office drawers, workshop drawer etc. Go McGyver!

Then later came the multitools and took over from the army knives. A few Leathermans and Gerbers. More in the truck and drawers not pictured here. Also a bunch of cheapies that I got as gifts. They are kind of useless, but I can't just throw them away.

These were inherited from my Dad. He had more than 200 knives, but I could not bring them all over from South Africa when I moved here. Had to leave some nice pieces behind.

 

My father gave me that same Puma knife. It is a beautiful piece in person

 

My main 3.

Left to right:
- Barkriver Kephart FT. My hiking/bush knife
- ESEE-4. Fishing/water related/survival/rough use.
- Buck-Strider collaboration SBMF folder. My EDC.

 

Dude, I thought I had a problem. Nice collection.
Love all the Benchmade Axis folders. My favorite folding knives.

 

A few.

 

Thanks, I used to be a huge Benchmade guy, then I got my first Zero Tolerance, have not looked back. Tank solid knives, and (IMO) better steel than the Benchmades. I love me some N390.

 

Yea, I have one ZT now - the Leroy Jethro Gibbs model - lol.
They are on my radar for future purchases. Too many holiday sale on now, but they are coming in 2019.

 

I just picked up my first ZT knife last week.

It is hands down the nicest knife I have ever handled.
I’m already looking for a smaller one for edc.

 

Just received

 

Hell of a collection.
I have a crazy question if you dont mind.
Do you by any chance know/ancestor of a person by the name "L. Nevill"? According to the extremely rare infomation available, he was a knife maker around the turn of the century.

I know, weird thing to ask but with the name and the collection of knives, but worth a shot.

 

This knife is a novelty item..adjustment screw already worn out and spring broken...Do not buy a maker knife from giaco.com!! Cool idea but not durable at all.

 

At first glance i thought it was a cigar cutter.
It does look like it could of been an alright utility blade. Sorry to hear it was a bust.

Im a big fan of the Milwaukee fastback utility knives.


Kobalt makes an almost identical knife to the one on the right. It was actually just as good.

 

Been digging Birdvis knives lately. These are handmade by some guy in California. Check out his Instagram page.

 

That is really nice. Looking at some of his other knives i am impressed. They are something else. Thanks for sharing. Going to keep an eye out for one of his when i shop for something nice.

 

Added a Benchmade Crooked River to the collection.

 

EDC for me is a Gerber 06 auto.

 

Those are nice.

Two newer ones since i last posted here.

The case im fixing up a bit but its still in overall good shape. Cant get a specific date though. Just 1965-80's.

The Bear Edge is the budget line from Bear and Sons. I actually really like it and would edc it but im to used to carrying smaller traditional folders.

 

Carry for me today.

 

Father's Day gift to myself

 

Just got this one. I like it a lot. The size is perfect. It's comfortable in my pocket. The handle feels very nice in my hand. I'm thinking of packing this when I travel, check it in of course. Do you guys take your favorite knife along when you travel abroad? Treat it like your security blanket?
