What was the last knife you bought?

I took both knife photos off the internet. I have the K BAR, which I bought to fill the empty spot in my soul for the Camillus USN knife. My BIL a WW2 Navy Vet gave it to my Dad and I used it to gut my first deer, 62 years ago. I drug the buck off the mountain and back to camp. I didn't miss the knife until we were on our way home. I'd left it on a rock by the gut pile. I looked for it a couple of weeks later and every time I hunted that area. I hope someone found it and gave it a good home.

 

I was in the mood for elegant and pointy.

Kizer
Model - Soze

Play on words for the antagonist in the movie, Usual Suspects, Kiser Soze.

 

Top two were charity raffle wins, bottom two were purchases.

Top to bottom -

1. Jesse Hemphill Town Creek 2, black maple burl Moran handle, A-2 steel, brass guard with black and red G10 spacers.
2. Bark River Bravo 1.25 LT, rampless option, CPM Cru-Wear, Firedog canvas micarta with black handles and mosaic pins.
3. Hinderer Knives Project X, black G10 scale over battle blue titanium liner and lock side, working finish MagnaCut blade.
4. Hinderer Knives Half Track, full textured titanium scales, stonewash MagnaCut blade.

 

Orange handled Spyderco Delica. Hopefully it will be more difficult to loose than the black handled version.

 

This is my latest 'hawk.
Cold Steel Trail Hawk.
Delivered in late January from that well known outfitter....Amazon

It looks and feels good. A pretty tiny bit though. Not much heft for splitting kindling, not much edge for throwing.

 

Hey that's a neat one! Is it actually a double edged dagger grind, or just intended to look like one?

 

Everyday carry.

 

Single edge only since it is a flipper.

But the top edge is thin for looks with enough dullness to be able to close it without being cut.

 

That half track is gorgeous. I’ve wanted one for awhile.

 

After many years of carrying a leatherman cage
Charge.....I lost it. So my last knife purchase was a new leatherman charge + TTI

 

The wharncliffe Half Track is a great blade profile, and the action on them has always been pretty good for me. I've had five or so. This is my first all-Ti one, though. I am unsure it's worth the $200 premium. I really wish we'd get some Full Tracks period, but especially some with the great wharncliffe blade. MagnaCut is a nice premium choice, too. The flipper action and ergonomics in my opinion is superior to the XM series. The frame area by the flipper tab lacks the very sharp jimping that makes flipping an XM painful for me. The Eklipse and Jurassic are also better than the XM in my book.

 

My first hand-crafted knife purchase, had my eye on one of these for several months but Dawson Knives' recent 25% off sale finally coaxed me into clicking "buy." First impressions are very good. Balance point is right at the front handle screw, they used a pretty thick 0.210" billet of CPM Magnacut steel to make this blade from. Heavier than it appears to be at first glance. I dig the leather/kydex hybrid holster. Offers lots of different carry options/configs.

Not sure how they apply the finish, don't know how well it will hold up to real use. Will report back on that.





The symmetry is very good to my eye, probably 99%. If you scrutinize it carefully, you can pick up on very subtle imperfections that lend credence to it being handmade.

 

Ohhhhh this one is so very good.

CKF Sukhoi 4
Titanium frame
Titanium inlays
Milled textured carbon fiber inlays
Handle is thicker at the backspacer and tapers down to the finger position. That’s nothing new but combined with the number of finely cut inlays, it’s a nice touch.
4.1 inch M398 blade.
Zircuti clip and pivot collars.
Zirconium backspacer.

Wonderful ergos. I really like this one. The action is super smooth.

The more I acquire, the more I like CKF knives.

 

Latest is one of the new Kershaw Launch 15 autos in MagnaCut. I like it so far, deploys reliably and locks up with zero play.

 

And one more.
We Knives Reiver. Limited run knife.
3.97” S35VN two tone blade.
Very nicely milled titanium handle. Adds some meaningful traction.
Smoothest action of any WE I’ve owned.

 

Last knife I got was this.

 

Do you know what kind of blade it is?

 

Thanks I should have been clearer.
Type of steel and if it was a coating for the strips.

 

I attended a self bow archery 3D shoot today and on the raffle table found a vintage Schrade + Uncle Henry 162.
Used but not abused with the factory sheath.

 

Here’s a GEC English Whittler in Bloodwood with 1095 steel. I picked this up several months ago and it’s been a great carving knife thusly.
