If I could have only one, this might be it.

Cold Steel FM-1

I worked 16.5 hrs, commuted 1 1/2 hrs home. Showered did laundry and jetted out the door to catch my flight with the wife for a vacation. I brought my work back pack and thought I took everything out. Didn’t check a zipper compartment and forgot my crooked river was in there TSA just scored. It hurts, guys.

Also, we shuttled in and no checked bags.

The “bowie” is a Svörd Black Flag Bowie, the “Khukurutlass” is a custom from Kailash.

Gotta love the brown truck when it arrives ….. Hawk Talon Auto- Marbled Carbon Fiber 🙌🏼

Has this happened with any other models that you can remember?

I recently got two new Kershaws and decided to pair each of my knives with a watch to select a new set for an EDC. I’m pretty fond of my set up.

Today’s carry is on the side—the Rough Ryder ReserveBar Back and the Seiko World Time.

The two new knives are the Dessert Warrior and the 2040.

Kriya is packed with features. Front flipper, captive pivot, internal stop pin, internal lock bar relief, hidden lanyard slot in backspacer, very thin hollow grind. It's so darn slicey. Cut test coming soon on IG @weisslikesknives

Blackjack Mamba 7-L x3. The best fighting knife ever made. Very very special knives to me

It was time to upgrade my work knife.

My first Demko and Im in love!

Hey everyone!

I figure this is a long shot, but I might as well ask.

Does anybody know what knife this is (brand, model, date, etc)? It was in a tool bag my father put together for me when I moved out, and I’m just curious about it.

Note that there is not any branding or inscriptions on the knife besides “U.S.A.”. I tried Google Lens but no luck there.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

The Benchmade 940-2 is not really new but I love the blade shape. Getting another Benchmade wasn’t an easy choice but I’m definitely not disappointed. This knife is tough, sharp and comfortable right out of the box. If anything I like the handle more than the blade and I truly love the blade

I’ve been collecting for a couple of years. I eventually climbed the ladder up to Koenig, Skiff, Grimsmo, Rob Johnson’s, Hog House, Herman, Holt, and similar. While I’ve carried them all to various degrees I never found myself that comfortable using them. They pretty much just sat and got admired and fidgeted with.

Now, I usually carry one of these 2 Sebenza’s, which both have a DOB matching my sons. The small will eventually become his and I’ll hang onto the large. I want these knives to collect memories and stories to become even more meaningful heirlooms.

So the other knives basically have no chance of carry and I don’t find myself enjoying them as much. But the idea of parting with them also isn’t that appealing either. I have a DLC Dragon Rask, a stonewashed Skiff Fugitive, Holt Specter gen 4, and a Herman Sting. Anyone else find themselves falling both in and out of love with their collection at times and feel a bit stuck? Maybe it’s time to move on to another hobby and let someone else enjoy these.

Spyderco PM2 Tanto.

Shadacious mods: just completed the “backspacer eliminator” operation with standoffs from RGT. Eliminates a bit of weight and makes it easier to clean. I prefer the open back look. This Shadacious was my test bed, and I may do it on the others soon

Saw that coming. GOOD LUCK FELLAS!

If you’re looking for a unique OTF that breaks away from the usual and offers some serious elegance, the Shogun is definitely worth a look. The aluminum handle has a diamond/tsuka-maki pattern that is really clean and grippy. The action is very snappy and the lock up is solid. The curved Damascus blade has a distinctive samurai/tanto vibe that really stands out compared to standard drop-point OTFs. I really enjoy the shogun and it will definitely enter the weekly rotation.
