norbs007 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 My humble collection, nothing fancy. For carry use, Emerson Commander Benchmade Skirmish Limited Edition Another one in Gold for the Gold Cup Another Benchmade Springfield Armory GPK New acquisition is an Emerson Super Karambit, no pix yet. I've been wanting to get some Chris Reeves or MercWorx and maybe sell a couple of guns and get something made by Keith Ouye. So many custom knife makers and they're just as bad as custom guns.

SiG Lady Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I've e-mailed the owner of that 'sexy' knife to have him remind me what it cost. Already I'm tempted--again. Jeez... knives and flashlights--as seductive as guns, I swear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I don't have either of these guns anymore, but I still have the knives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'm stashing some pennies for this automatic...legal in Arizona..of course costs around $350. This thing is FAST!

Thomas Moore Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I want one! Too bad I can't have one in Michigan. You guys in Arizona have all the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledge Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) The knives I carry every day are your run of the mill Kershaw Leeks, Chives, and Scallions. The funky looking blade in the picture is one that means the world to me, even though it was made out of stuff out of the scrap bin. My grandmother was in the Marines in WWII, serving as a machinist. She made this blade for my great-grandfather out of a bayonet, some scrap brass, some bakelite type stuff, and windshield material from an airplane. She told me that she made a pile of them when she was in the service, for guys headed overseas. She'd make them however they wanted, and trade them for their dessert out of the mess hall. I wouldn't trade this one for the world. Edited to fix borked picture... Edited December 24, 2008 by Ledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Now THATS a very cool knife! Nice pic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 OK, I finally got the word on that William Harsey custom knife I posted earlier: It was a two-person project; only one model was made; it never went into production. Estimated worth (so its owner sez) is at least $1,500 or so. And there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) I have a few knives....this pic has most, but not all...just what I had in the one drawer handy. I'll try to describe them from bottom left up, then from bottom right up. A Camillus knife my father picked up on his way to Vietnam...high carbon steel and you can really put an edge on that thing! Buck 102 that I've had for years. Benchmade Auto Mini-Ruckus that's my daily carry now. Benchmade HK Auto-Axis. William Henry (can't recall the model). Then there's the huge blade at the top with the two mini-blades. It was given to my Grandfather around 1950 and he was told it was a Cuban sugar cane knife, but it's very much like a Ghurka/Khukris or other curved blade...the handles are real ivory on all three. Lower right starting with an old Kabar I've had for ages...no model name on it. Kershaw Ken Onion Ricochet with the assited opening. Spyderco Viele limited edition. CRKT Viele. CRKT Lightfoot M-1. Cold Steel Voyager folder. Lastly an SOG Tomcat (if memory serves me...no markings). I actually have the box and papers for almost all of the modern knives and some even the original receipt...how anal is that?

HSMITH Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 One of the Emerson knives that opens as you pull it from the pocket is next on my list, they are super cool and extremely well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbarr Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 One of the Emerson knives that opens as you pull it from the pocket is next on my list, they are super cool and extremely well made.

MLE-ShootingSports Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I just picked up the line of TOPS folders. My mainstay is the shooting sports, but I like a smooth opening, beefy knife. I was so impressed, I became a registered dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 So helping a friend with his insurance claim on a burglary. He left his big safe unlocked any way he had three Very nice knifes a Warren Osbourn hand made from 1987 Wouldn't that knife be worth more than a new Warren Os. knife? And a Allen Aligawiss and a Frank Centofante all of the knifes were hand made from before the guys got to be big names. We looked up prices at Knifeart.com but all the prices were for new over $1,200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
