Only one??
Seriously thinking about putting in for the Livewire preorder on bladeHQ... Would be my first OTF knife.
I’ve been looking at those myself. They get great reviews, and they are made in the USA.Only one??

Grabbed a pig sticker, just for old time's sake.
I picked up a few Kansept models on sale from White Mountain around the holidays and finally took a minute to grab a picture of them.
Pretty solid fit and finish with some interesting designs.
Black blades are D2 budget models.

What could be in these boxes from Skallywag Tactical? All my spending money for the month, that’s what. Stay tuned. I already cut myself.

found this in the street downtown heading into my club for a cocktail monday. ok, ok, not much i know, but it still has the tweezers and tooth pick...more than the one on my key ring has. i rescued it and it still is one handy little tool. guessing from the condition of the knife, file and scissors, it was barely opened during life with the original owner. hey, my gain, i'll use it.

i've had my eddie bauer suitcase forever also. got it at sears in burlington 25 years or more ago i'd guess, when they liquidated the line. got a $100+ suitcase, my first with wheels and a pull out handle, for 12 bucks. still going strong. i think american tourister made it in mexico. but shit, who cares for that price.
Good find !

last time i had any luck was in the '80's. i jumped out of the vehicle i had parked in my friends driveway...in winter. under foot, frozen in 2-3 inches of ice was a twenty. got the tire iron and started a mining camp in the driveway. 15 minutes later, i clutched the soggy $20 bill in my fist while holding off my buddy who had the impression that the twenty was his.

I saw this knife on YouTube and was intrigued mainly by the sheath. The blue one is a trainer.
Now the axe….holy shit! I wasn’t expecting it to be huge hunk of steel it is. Way to heavy to carry even backpacking. This thing is for zombies and showing to your friends.

D2 is a decent knife steel. Holds an edge and not that bad to sharpen compared to some of the super steels.

Finally got my antique Japanese swords & stands over to my Apt.
Nice! Those are the real deal. Ever cut anything with them? I took some kendo classes back in the day, I always thought they cut like butter but it really surprised me how much energy it takes to cut a hanging rope or straw mat. I have an antique tanto that was a gift from my WKF grandmaster, he bought it for me when we were in Okinawa for my 3rd dan test. Also have a modern repro 1095 kubose katana. So sharp its weight alone will cut canvas.

Thanks!! Never cut with these ones, these ones i just display; but i purchased a Katana from Japan that i do use only for cutting tatami mats. i got a tatami stand and plenty of mats on hand.
The sword was in rough shape anyway and the price was right so thats how i justify using a 300 year old blade for my un-trained cutting. I also have a couple modern repro blades, but once you feel actual Japanese steel, the difference is amazing!

Picked this up from Larue because it was on sale
Launch 1 quite snappy
I don’t know why, because I already have two dozen folders, but none were front flippers so I guess why not. My latest impulse buy.
Civivi Exarch with copper scales and Damascus blade.

Enbloc would know the answer :-( (miss him) Are spring-assisted knives legal for us ma**h***s to carry out in public (as opposed to the the confines of our homes)?
I'm interested in the Benchmade Mini Barrage.
thanks!

Yes, they are perfectly legal. So long as your not pushing a button to automatically open it, it's fine.

Lots of folders have a feature that is commonly called the “Emerson wave” feature (google it) which is essentially a nub that you snag on your pocket when pulling the knife out. It pulls the blade open and is faster than an auto and easier than a spring assist.
With how good current folders are these days, spring assisted knives are obsolete. Most decent folders can open as or nearly as fast as a spring assist but absolutely crush them as far as closing goes, which is where spring assist knives are garbage.
