A THR knife PICTURE thread?!?!

Yo Mama · June 30, 2011, 09:30 PM

I looked and looked, and find that THR has no major collection of user knives!?!? A few other forums have huge collections. So come on everyone, let's chip in a make a thread in the hundreds of pages with knife pics.

Ones you own, ones you love or hate, ones you want to show off. Let's get going!

Any chump can pull a bunch images off the net of things they don't actually have.

If you don't actually own it, don't post it.

I own everyone I have posted so no worries with me. These photos come from my Photobucket account.

I have lots more I need to photograph and load up.

I think HSO was just setting parameters for the thread for everyone not you or I?

Deltaboy, now you made me take a pic of my new Trekker. Just got it to compliment the black one.

I understand Yo.
Here is my hunting knives.
my Mora

My OT 165

My OT Sharpfinger 152

My Custom Bill Mayfield small game knife made from a Sawmill Bandsaw Blade.

My really old Green River Skinner knife.

It would probably be in bad taste if I tried to catalog all the ~~junk~~ hardware stowed in boxes and drawers.

However, perhaps a couple at a time?

With each picture that I post, I will also include a link to the "gallery" script that displays all the photos in that directory. That way, if you're so inclined, you can see all the out-takes for the knives where I post the one or two marginally acceptable pix I have.

Without further ado . . .

First knife I was ever given. November 1st, 1961. Imperial US Officers Ulster 916 (scout/camp, US Army issue clone with red scales). I still have it.

Closed, notice the post on the screwdriver/bottle opener blade. (Bad color reproduction. Trust me, it's red.)

Open, showing main blade tang stamp.

Open, using flash, showing tang stamp and faded etching. (Told you it was red.)

Here's a few knives I discovered when I was unpacking shortly after moving to Idaho. I was thrilled -- there were knives in there I hadn't been able to find for more than five years!

An original Gerber Guardian. Cast aluminum handle w/Armorhide coating.

A Gerber Shorty hunting knife, purchased at the Ramstein AFB Base Exchange in 1971. (Not shown is the Mini Magnum, whose blade I broke.)

Here's the Guardian, the Shorty, and an original Muskie (before they added the spoon tip to the handle).

I don't own many Barlow knives, but I do have a nice US-made Remington:

Oh, and in that same box was my Ontario Spec Plus Fighter:

I guess I'll get out of the way now and let someone else post a few pix.

I'll have more later.

451 Detonics · July 1, 2011, 05:14 AM

I do have a few...this post shows maybe 1/3 of my collection...

Well....there is my general display area that has a few of my knives...

Then we have some of the various SAKs...

And scout patterns...

Barlows are a favorite...

The Cold Steel Classics in Carbon V make a nice set...

For inexpensive knives the Colt Brown Stag are very nicely made...

I also like custom knives...

I do own knives other than folders as well...

Then of course you have "tactical" knives...

Tokarevsrule · July 1, 2011, 07:14 AM

451 detonics, I notice you have a cold steel scimitar and pro lite. Those are my favorite cold steels, and I have a lot of them. The pro lite is my carry knife. Did you cut the thumb hole on yours?

jahwarrior · July 1, 2011, 08:41 AM

Yo Mama · July 1, 2011, 09:42 AM

Great first page everyone! Now this is what I'm talking about. A thread that will make THR proud.

Tokarevsrule · July 1, 2011, 11:36 AM

The first photo is my best handmade knives built from scratch out of 1095 steel sheets. The second is my Cold Steel collection.

Deltaboy · July 1, 2011, 11:52 AM

Great looking collections and now my wife has seen I am not the only knife collector she knows of.

Yep...been modding thumbhole knives like that since the eighties, long before the Emerson Wave.

I saw a solitary CS Twist Master above...more fun to have a set...These are the small TW's and a size comparison with a large version

and here is a set of the earliest Cold Steel folders...the Shinobu's...

jahwarrior · July 1, 2011, 03:27 PM

i love the Twistmasters. i bought a set of them, and sold all but two. it's probably the knife i've carried the most lately.

Leadhead · July 1, 2011, 03:34 PM

Lovin that bottle opener! Does it actually close? I guess it just sticks out through the handle......nice!

BRad704 · July 1, 2011, 05:01 PM

I'll just go ahead and say that I made most of these, and make note of the ones I didn't along the way...

Bowie (made by myself and Jim Adams)

Fighter (made by myself and Jim Adams)

Short Seax type blade (again, me and Jim)

M96 Swede bayonet, obviously NOT made by myself

Forged Micro-bowie

My fighter hangoing out with a bowie that was given to my grandfather to settle a debt

Damascus Kershaw Dagger

Camp knife (now lives in Florida and owner says it has done great work so far this summer

)

Small Camp/Fighter, now with my Dad

3 blades I have called the "TC Series". L to R, chisel ground and going to a Coast Guard guy soon, Flat ground and going to a buddy in WV, and convex ground and rides in my laptop bag everyday. All are receiving black paracord wraps.

Not a knife, but it is pointy and stabby and will cut with the tip (skin too...)

BRad704 · July 1, 2011, 05:02 PM

Kiridashi with lanyard and sheath. Since this pic, i have satin finished the blade and reground for a sharper edge.

Forged Skinner with a sheath I made for it

Doc Shiffer Tactical folder

Two Matt Bailey's (i know the guy selling these 2 if anyone wants them..)

Another kiridashi

My first slipjoint. ATS34, brass and buffalo horn

More Kiri's... further polished since the picture

Slipjoint 2 ATS34, brass and bocote

BRad704 · July 1, 2011, 05:03 PM

My first flipper, and yes, it flips, fast...

Les George's wife Bianca... Les was cool, but Bianca was awesome.

I got to go to Blade with Murph (a mod from Knifedogs.com) so I was getting the VIP treatment.

John Cohea knife...

Deltaboy · July 1, 2011, 05:21 PM

Cool

Valkman · July 1, 2011, 06:39 PM

The link in my signature has many knives that I made, and the sub forums have many more. Between those and what I own it's way too much to show!

Some Fighters I made:

Stag Landshark I made:

And the knife that was in Blade magazine, my Super Camp with giraffe bone handles:

All 3 of those pics were by Rob at Balance Digital.

Browse around at the link, see the Mike Lovett knife I own and many more that I made.
