Bad Influences!

You guys & gals here in Non-Firearms Weapons are bad influences on me, and I'm pretty sure on each other too. I just picked up a Case Sodbuster Jr. (very nice, extremely sharp) based on what I read here, and I have a half page list of knives that I'm interested in getting at some point. All thanks to you guys:) Oh well, it's still cheaper than buying more firearms, and more useful to me day-to-day than a firearm.

I'm pretty sure that list will be growing, and I know that you all will give your sage advice on anything being considered. It seems like most people here have a higher knowledge base and experience base with edged weapons. Your insight is much appreciated.

Thanks for bringing me into a new hobby, knife collecting :D

We do what we can... :D

You got off way, way too cheap. Take a gander at these, only $400 with a sheath! :D

If'n you gonna be bad, be good at it. - (forget)

Yep..just stick with Case brand for your slipjoint needs.

And remember old yucky USA Schrades are not worth your time or money.

(I don't need any more competion) :rolleyes:

You should seek professional help. I'm way past it.

What is that thing lower left?

A 4-blade Stockman with punch?

Hmm, no, it doesn't have a sheepsfoot.

Oh, man, what IS that? And do they still make it?

Oh, man, what IS that? And do they still make it?

64047P - It's one variation of a 47 pattern stockman - 3 7/8" long. They did make some pen blade versions of that pattern - there's a 3 blade in that pic too. The 4 blade w/ punch model always has a pen blade and the muskrat shape clip

I have a couple of them. They are hard to find with no issues - they have a tendency to have a weak blade or two. The one pictured below is almost perfect, but not red bone.

They don't make any of the 47 patterns anymore. Truthfully, the handiest one is the 2 blade one.

You got off way, way too cheap. Take a gander at these, only $400 with a sheath! Valkman, maybe sometime in the future you'll get some of my money.

Breathe, Arfin, breathe :D

and then you start on the fixed blades....

Like Todd, Schrades are my focus but I never met a quality knife I didnt like.
And I even like some B and C list knives.
It just goes on and on.......

I notice the Doctor's knives don't get much love around here, but they tend to be my favorite slips.

To keep with Slippies, you could then move over to Laguiole knives

Of course, that still doesn't get into customs. Talk about a whole other mess of trouble. :what:

Thanks for bringing me into a new hobby, knife collecting

You say that now. :evil:

Hahahaha hso. Probably going to regret saying that in little time.

Oh well, it oughta be interesting :D

Oh well, it oughta be interesting

Yep.
There is collateral damage involved too.

Speaking of which, has anyone checked on Arf?


Hang on! Its gonna be a wild ride!

Soon, when you realise that you have an illness you won't be laughing.:evil:

Mine started less than a year ago with USA Schrades...

My focus on Schrades didn't last long. I have Camillus,Case,Imperial,Boker,
Robeson, Ulster,Craftsman,Sta-Sharp,Wards and Western made slipjoints as well. Plus a few fixed blades and "tacticals" laying around.

Be sure to keep us informed of your spiral into addict...ummmmm :uhoh: I mean collection progress ;)

How can "investing" in fine knives, no longer made, and which will probably increase in value be an addiction?

At least that what I tell the wife!

Among ourselves we know better.

Bikerdoc, I don't think even that'll work know that I put a Beretta Bobcat on layaway.

I'll try it anyway :D

JTW JR., what is the little tiny push dagger looking thing with the lanyard in the fixed blade photo?

that is a Ken Brock " hole knife ".
It was made from the remants of the pieces that were waterjet cut from the handles of the Hideaway Knives if I recall correctly. I got it from him years ago. It's small and hides nicely in a coin pocket.

Hey John, I wish I still had the blanks available from the Hideaway knives. They get the most requests of any knives that I've made

Dude ! Where the hell you been ?

When you get here:

BIG PIC!

You should seek professional help. I'm way past it.

Actually it's not too bad till you get here...

Then you decide you really like barlows and end up like this...

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z271/reloader1959/slipjoints/barlowsfam1a1.jpg

Then you move to the stockman

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z271/reloader1959/slipjoints/stockmen.jpg

next you start looking for the unusual like this high art Case...

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z271/reloader1959/slipjoints/case/32991.jpg

Then you see a chunk of stag like this and decide you really don't need to eat for awhile...

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z271/reloader1959/slipjoints/bulldogs/stagbull3.jpg

Then comes the curse of the customs...when you reach this point you need to just figure it is all over...

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z271/reloader1959/customs/cust1a.jpg

btw...always happy to see another fall under the influence of the slipjoint knives...when you start spending as much time looking for and building displays as you do looking for knives themselves you will know you are well and truly in the brotherhood. I will add what is in the pics is probably about 25% of my collection....I am a very sick man...

Gosh, and I don't even own a sodbuster. You must listen to Carl Levitian. Good guy to listen too. :) Where is Carl?

My advice is... take it easy and steady as you go. The list will change from month to month and year to year. There are so many available these days that it's hard to keep up with things.

It's funny, when you go on a thread and it turns into a picture thread, and then you start going have that one, and that one, want that one, never seen that one!
Anyways now I've started listing some of my overflow to possibly get more, lol.
So maybe it wasn't haha funny as much as uhoh funny.

hey John! just been working and stuff man

my day job takes up quite a bit of my time but I'm still banging out knives as much as I can
