What is the most recent knife you bought?

[dh1633pm]

My Boy Scout knife from many years ago. My dad had it tucked away. He got it back to me yesterday. Well worn from years of service. Made by Camillus.

I am sure you used the matchstrike nail nick often. A neat old knife that has been used and sharpened many times.

Love that old butcher's breaking knife you found.... Is that a Green River (or who's...)? I have had a Forschner model very similar with a 10" blade in stainless that is the first "bigger" knife that I reach for when cutting bigger fish (with heavier bones...) and it's a very good skinner on larger filets as well...

Yep.
It's a Forschner Green River. I couldn't pass it up for five bucks plus shipping.
I love EBay!

Not the last knife I bought, but the second-to-last that I just now took pictures of. I have an IBM M1 carbine at Fulton Armory now getting the refresh treatment (needed for a rust issue and barrel misalignment), and I picked this up to go with it on Facebook of all places. A WW2 Camillus-made M4 bayonet-knife that looks correct from everything I can tell (Ordnance proof mark, plastic spacers at each end of the leather handle stack, starburst peening on the tang).

Nice!

My 1943 Underwood carbine isn't even equipped to take a bayonet.

Classic Kershaw oso sweet. It’s my new edc. So far, it’s a keeper.

Two Old Hickory - 8" slicer that's been sharpened and is now in the kitchen knife block. And a 14" butcher that's now on the window sill out in the shop. It's a lot more machete than it will ever be a kitchen knife. But I still like it.

I already commented on the "next knife" thread, but I got another one of these (pic below). I got one a couple months ago... I liked the overall combination of form factor, blade steel, etc., so when Knifejoy had a 48-hour flash sale, I decided to get a mate.

I'm sure that's quite something. I've got a BRK in 3V that's a good knife. His D3V is by all accounts even better. Steel be damned, that's good looking stuff right there.

My latest, cool old skool survival knife. Garcia survival/combat knife from Brazil.

I posted a history of the Hackmans and Garcias in the Survival Knives thread. Warner and Dickey designed both.

"Designed by Ken Warner and Pete Dickey; this rare knife was made during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Only a few thousand were made by Hackman with a 1/4 inch blade in Finland, with the majority produced by Garcia in Brazil with a 3/16 inch blade. The Hackman survival knife was intended for private sale to military personnel bound for Vietnam. The Randall Model 18 had made the hollow handle saw back popular with the troops, but Randall could not keep up with demand. Like the Randall this knife featured a watertight hollow handle and a massive 1/4" thick stainless steel blade.

From Ken Warner's book The Practical Book of Knives circa 1975, Chapter 7-The Sharp Pry Bar: I was responsible for the shape and the grind of the blade and the overall configuration. My collaborator, Pete Dickey, figured out the rest of it. In essence, it has a hollow stainless steel handle, closed watertight by a large threaded pommel. The space inside is nearly the size of two 12 gauge shotshells, which means it will hold matches, pills, another little knife, hooks and line-a whole raft of stuff that could come in handy. Pete went ahead and had packed a miniature kit that went into the sheath's pocket and had a lot of that gear in it.

Anyways, I put all I could think of into that knife to make it do as many jobs possible for a fellow who, all of a sudden, has to do it all with a knife. So did Pete. It is heavy and tough enough to chop wood or meat or bone. It is wide enough to dig with if you need a hole in a hurry. The saw edge is designed to get its users poles without making loud noises. Its steel won't rust, and it's hard, so it hold an edge. If you had to hurt someone with it, it is equal to that job. It will slice very nicely and is, after you get used to it, pretty handy for dressing out game. It has a couple of holes in the modest double guard, and by lashing through those to a pole seated in the hollow handle, a rather impressive spear results".

Castillo Miralla folder. Just came in. Started keeping it in my desk drawer. Interesting design.

Victorinox Swiss Army Hunter Pro Alox. Bigger than expected. Very well made. I like the Red.

 

[dh1633pm]

I know, I know, stop buying knives. Got another two. They were on sale and couldn’t help myself. I am glad I did. Made in Italy. Steel Will Tasso and Cutjack. Both well made, smooth, light, and sturdy. The Cutjack has a liner lock and the Tasso an ant lock. Sort of like benchmade, only sideways.

Last weekend, My mother gave me my Dad's knife collection. So I can't say that I "bought" them, but he'll never use them again, and my mother does not want to deal with figuring out what to do with them. It's about a dozen knives, with everything from a Case Mini-Trapper and a Swiss Army knife to a couple of Randalls and a Lile no-dot that's never been used.

Here's one I believe to be unique. It's was made by duck call maker Doug Rice. It has the thickest spine I've ever seen on a knife.


Here's the Herter's I mentioned. Maybe he found it at a gun show, maybe he found it in the woods. No idea.


And a couple of A.G. Russell knives that were in there. One has a sheath, one does not. I'm considering giving them to my nephews.


That's enough for now. I'll post more pics later.
