I'm just lucky I didn't see these knives sooner, I think a model 5 is next. I do like those model 7s tho
I've always wanted a Randall but didn't want to pay for one.

Hess is another similar brand IMHO... that I never got into, but could. I could have two of those Model 3's for my incoming Team Gemini Ultra Light... I don't think I would make that trade, but the traditional looks are cool. Maybe I need just one Natural Micarta Model 3.
https://www.dlttrading.com/hess-knives Seems like Hess is sold out everywhere. Hopefully they still make knives. Another guy to check out is Lon Humphrey - I know I just saw one in this thread up there. I had a Buckeye Burl Reaver that was too gorgeous to beat up.

I like Humphrey's Gunfighter and that Reaver, but not a lot of else jumps out at me either, except the craftsmanship I saw on that Reaver. It was perfect. They are pretty pricey though. I got it on a trade. |

I couldn't pass up the deal a buddy got me on a Benchmade Altitude...looks like its going to be my new hunting knife.
I typically like a fixed blade with Scales...but the design of this knife....and of course the S90V steel is fantastic. I had a chance to give it a go on a few Javalinas and deer in the late AZ archery season....its probably going to replace my S30V Steep Country.

Not too fancy, but I bet indestructible... looks like they are putting some scales on it now.
https://www.coldsteel.com/drop-forge...list-grey.html Street price is about $60 with a workable sheath. I liked my Hunter, so I am trying one of these. https://botach.com/cold-steel-36mh-d...d-survivalist/ |

Just ordered a benchmade contego. Been eyeing these for a while and at $140 I couldn't pass it up. Can't wait to get it in my hands. |

Do you think these Blackjack knives are worth collecting?
I have a few (4-6) Anza knives that were made in the 80s. They haven't done very well as ($) far as collecting

Not because I am selling a Blackjack but comparing one to Anza knives is like comparing apples to oranges. I too have Anza knives from the 80’s that are carbon file users. Not much in collector value than what I paid back in the 80’s. Anza’s styles have changed some but are still made to be USED. Hope that helps. These are a set of steak knives Charlie Davis made for me back in 85. IMG_0557.jpg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

For the enjoyment of building and keeping a collection of cool knives, I'd collect Blackjack... if they are as good as they look. I'd collect Kabar, and OKC too. I just bought a $60 Cold Steel Survivalist... I know it won't be worth twice as much in a couple years if they are still making them. But you never know... I had a XL Talwar and those are $$$ now because they stopped making them and they were probably the best looking waveable CS behemoth. |

I came across a good supply of high quality #24 scalpel blades at work, so I picked up a handy little knife for my camping/first aid gear
Tiatner Dragonfly, weighs less than 11 grams with the blade and it seems to be made pretty well

I'm very impressed with the Blackjack knives. I'll probably purchase a few more of them and then move on to another brand. I have a few folding knives that I use off and on for carry, depends on what and where but I'm not really a lover of them.

This Cold Steel is a great larger fixed blade. I'm honestly impressed with the new version with the very aggressive textured scales in the forged groove. SYKCO HG parked Regulator for scale... similar knife IMHO. $60 for the CS is a steal.

I stick to carrying ZT folders now... lately a 0452CF or 0804CF... mostly Sinkevich, Rexford, George. I do love ZT.

I really dig that CS! How’s it balance & how thick is it?

Balance is pretty good. I have the Hunter and I added skate tape to the handle grooves... this one needs nothing. A lot better than the old version and the color is nice.
Thickness is listed at 6mm and it does appear less than .25" to me. It is drop forged so it is one solid piece. The handle portion gets a lot thicker. It is a nice sharp piece of 52100 ball bearing steel for the price. |

Seems nicely constructed. Lockup is solid, and the blade is about 3/16" thick, with little flex. It is sharp on arrival.

I lost my Kershaw Launch 4 while I was at work. So to replace it I ended up picking up a Pro-Tech Half Breed today. The full size grip feels waaay better! I like that it already comes with a deep conceal clip.

Picked up a Doug ritter in 20cv super steel to join the rotation and possibly replace the zt 350. Smooth action good lock up. Only complaint is i doing really like the texturing on the scales. It's g10 but it feels cheap and hope compared to my zts. Other than that though no complaints. I like the idea of buying a bench made without supporting a bunch of traitors like bench made.
