Adding another to the collection
- Thread starter Mk-211
- Start date
I always wanted one when I youngster. I got a little older and bought the BK9 from Ka Bar. Way too big to really use, in my opinion. Maybe the Ka Bar iteration of the crewman is just as good as Camillus? I presume the spine is quite thick on both makes.
They're both 1095 and the heat treat is excellent.
One of Ethan's favorite "children".

Took his Becker necker, put scales on it and converted it to belt carry! Great everyday user.
He makes goodstuff!

Elegant lines, yet it screams - use me!
A rescue knife will be loyal for a lifetime.
I bought a Timberline Specwar earlier this year, been wanting one for close to 30 years! I posted about it here as I knew you guys would like it also.
So that it wouldn't feel left alone, I saw another Timberline knife that looked good and would look good next to one of it's Brothers! This great looking knife will definitely look good in the collection. It's called the Zambezi, hefty and seems well made, even though it's made in Taiwan.
Enjoy the new pictures of the newby.

I've never owned or even handled a Hen & Rooster knife, that is until yesterday! I saw this one and had to have it, very nice knife.
Guess this means that I'll have to check out their website and see what other knives they have that I like. Anyone else have one?

Certainly not the traditional Hen & Rooster pocket knife of our grandfathers', but a good design. The fact no one will state what the steel is would give me pause, but at that price I should try one out and test it.
They're a brand name now owned by Frost with manufacturing in Europe (and probably east) contracted to other companies. https://www.henandrooster.com/About/

Original Hen & Rooster knives made in Solingen were well regarded. This looks nice, but no mention of steel or country of origin, and fabric sheath isn't encouraging. If it was made in Germany that would be emphasized on blade and in copy.

Nice! I can't find this one on their website.
A knife that can send your attacker to the morgue in several different ambulances.
This is my new Ka Bar BK 62 alongside the also new SAK Compact. I did the mustard forced patina project on the Ka Bar. Looks OK to me. Haven't had a chance to use either of them yet, but I expect they will be just fine. Pretty sure I could do worse than to have these two with me when I get dropped off somewhere in the middle of Montana.
I like the way Becker knives have the scales connected to the tang. Super user friendly and totally reliable.
