What is the most recent knife you bought?

[hawg]

Don't laugh but a Bear Grylls survival knife. I needed a knife I could take camping and abuse without worrying about it. It has held up very well. I've even started fires with it. Hammered stuff with the butt, hammered the butt etc. It's like a Timex watch. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Blurple Para 3 S110V. I think I have a problem. Edge retention is not one of them though.

Not my last knife purchased. ....but a new pic of a recent purchase....
My new hunting knife, an Eafengro flipper. Orange g10 scales and D2 blade. I prefer folders for hunting because I often wear bibs.

I should note that I did not buy that knife, but rather my wife and son gave it to me as a birthday gift.

The road to recovery begins when one admits they have a problem. This however sounds like an excuse. And an excellent one. Very nice birthday present.

But the detours, the detours, so many detours...............

I was on the wagon for a couple of months, feeling proud of myself. I saw this:


......my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and I can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose...... you get the picture.

It's not mine yet, I don't have the nerve to ask the missus....

Ain't that the truth!

I'll point out that Bohler N695, is the equivalent of 440C. Nothing wrong with 440C if properly heat treated.

Wassa matter? Couldn't you find a decent shotgun?
Man, that is a great picture and a proper memory.

 

[hso]

Better than MT or BM.

I've accidentally cut the neck off a couple of bottles with 440c.

 

[hso]

Cut?

 

[JShirley]

A bottle of whiskey, and a bottle of hot sauce. In both cases, I was just trying to cut the plastic off.

Ordered 3, Higo no Kami 10 knives for Christmas presents.

Picked this up, forgot to add it here. Nice tanto style blade from MGC knives.

 

[Madcap_Magician]

I have a problem, and I don't want to get help. I can quit any time I want.

Why did I have to see this........... lol

Very nice. Last knife bought was a used BM mini gryptilian for my wife. All of my knives were bought secondhand, except for few Great Eastern knives that have doubled in value in a few years.

My EDC is a Chris Reeve small Sebenza made in Idaho. I sharpen on a belt sander, nice convex edge. These newer alloys are incredible. S35VN on this one I think. Also carry a BM 940 Osborne, but use it more for utility than the Reeve, so it dulls and sits there until I get around to sharpening. It has great CPM blade also, but if you cut boxes open, it will dull

I just sold a Great Eastern folder for over $250 on Ebay. I think I may do more selling than buying right now. 440c on them, and I agree, it is a great steel for the right tasks.

@SteadyD , how's that Para 3 working out? Great knife.

Very well, thanks! I love the thumb ramp on the spine. It feels equally good when using the finger choil or not, which I can’t say for any of my other knives. I’ve picked up a Teal lightweight in S90V as well.

The teal Para 3 will be my Easter knife. Gotta have knife for all the major holidays and seasons!
