I like that Esee 6

Reminds me this model I used to make. Great size for a small camp knife that could be beat through logs to split.

My biggest NES regrets is having to back out of one of your buys.

My biggest NES regrets is having to back out of one of your buys.

Ahh sorry to hear that. Those buys were awesome. I loved making those sets. It was a big task but it was super rewarding.

First pic was the last buy. Probably my favorite design for an EDC. The other pics were some from the buy before that which was the little brother to the first pic.

Leather or kydex sheaths. Couple handle choices.

Killing me, but I woke up and decided I had to gtfo of MA, so I literally rubbed penny's together and sold 75% of my guns to make it happen.

If you did an other one, I'd pre pay in full for sure.

The choice to leave MA was better lol.
Who knows if I ever make another knife or not. Maybe when I retire in 30 years.

30 YEARS???
Dammit man, I’m not gonna live that long!
Good thing I still have mine!

So I have ~$300 to bass pro. My EDC is a a zt0462ti. Any recommendations on another knife to add to the collection from Bass pro or cabelas?

Was thinking of the ZT0450 CF.

$300 at bass pro hmmm
I think I would have 3 ways
1. Assortment of utility style in that $20-$40 range
2. 6 of the coolest looking $50 blades
3. Iist snag one of the higher end knives?

Maybe I’ll hit the lottery and retire early.

Where do you guys find these obscure brands?

 

[ddp335]

Independent makers and small batch stuff I usually find from Facebook knife groups or you tube reviewers.

 

[ddp335]

And the quality is way better than the handful of mass produced companies around

I’ve recently been scouring Etsy for fixed blade knives. Mostly Viking style and/or 17” tanto zombie slayer types. There are some amazing knife makers out there that you’d never even hear of. I haven’t bought any yet but already have like 20 of them favorited. lol Really decent prices too.

That is beautiful work. Really nice combination of blade, handle and matching leather.

Null Knives

Small batch, high end production knives and tools. Designed and developed in New York.

nullknives.com

Pre order is live next week if anyone is interested.

Although it’s a new designer , it sounds like Reate will be making and producing them so it will be a production knife.

Thank you.

 

[cams]

Thank you.

Absolutely. Had no idea you were a blade smith! The talent on NES never ceases to amaze me.

I guess I still am but I haven’t made any in a while.
This was probably my favorite one.

 

[ChevyGuy91]

I would love to have that knife hanging in my kitchen.

Scooped another ESEE, this time a JG3 for an EDC. I ordered an Armatus kydex as well, waiting for it to show.

I ended up going with the ZT0450CF. The balance and weight feel great. The Benchmade bugout was nice, but I love the flipper aspect of the ZT’s, so I tend to stick with the brand.

 

[imstuner]

Purchased these in end of Dec. A lot of people like the bug out but I’m not a fan of it. I like the ProTech TR5 assisted and Benchmade Freek the most out the 4 purchase.

 

[imstuner]

Do you like my new Box cutter?

I’ll keep playing for you, maybe we can get this done

Spectacular work!

 

[MarkT]

Just picked these up. I haven't trained much with a Karambit so I bought the matching trainer.
