The blue is a "LEO special order" with a stone washed M390 Tanto blade. This knife has a black back housing.

The Green is a Ultratech II Signature Series with a satin M390 blade. The extra milling on the sides really helps it from moving in your hand during use.

I got the Green knife from NCblade.com A super company with fantastic customer service and great pricing.

Agreed.

NCBlade is terrific and tax free.

Just picked up these two from them.

Free state legal up top (Microtech Combat Troodon) and California legal on the bottom (Microtech Troodon Mini).

I've had one of these in uses for a few weeks now. I won't go into a bunch of bs about it.

Its a great knife with what I consider to be the perfect blade shape, plus I love D2 tool steel for this kind of blade..I just ordered 2 more to bury in the safe.

I got this Bobby Toole Lanny's Clip from a seller who took it in trade and said it might be micarta with some discoloration. I sent pics to Bobby Toole and he said it is interior mammoth, which is pretty cool. Nice addition.

What is the one on the left with the Cherry handle?

My pic? The Bobby Toole Native pattern... it is some kind of old micarta. As far as the shape or pattern there are lots of makers that do Natives... even Lionsteel and Viper, etc...

[crufflers]

A couple M&G 14's which are Great Eastern Cutlery pattern 15's.

This one just got listed on BF... fancier with bolsters and shield



If you want to talk to Bobby directly to see about getting one made the way you want, he answers quickly on his Instagram DM:

He also does back locks and tail locks in addition to the slip joints.

Microtech Scarab Shadow OTF SE/FS It’s a bruiser love it.

I don't have a problem....

Really fond of the stonewash finish on the bottom knife, close up below.

[crufflers]

Great Eastern model 25... this year with a "BEERLOW" blade. Weird. Awesome saw-cut bone covers.

[crufflers]

New Tony Mont "fighter" 5.25" 26c3 blade, wengewood

[Frank_5.0]

Berg Blades Mini Slim in tiger stripe

Cool little blade but too nice for me

[OCEquestrian]

Benchmade Griptilian 551 in 154cm steel

You know, I always wondered if people that make knives still buy knives; I guess there's my answer!

I always did like the 119s.

Not sure I get your point...

Scrapivore and a Beerlow in Bocote wood.

Some M4 goodness

Scored a impossible to find Lost Mountain Iron Works sheath... now have to find a SYKCO 1111 or a B11 to go in it. Pictured with RTAKII. Also got a green camel bone GEC 15.

Been lagging on posting pics of recent purchases but after receiving my Fallkniven F1 recently, placed orders for Survive! Knives EDC 2.7 in Magnacut, a TSK in CPM3V, and a GSO 5.1 in Magnacut.

Been eyeballing a Reiff F4 but will probably pass. The collection is getting a bit redundant!

[NapalmCheese]

I've wanted a 124 for years, even since I was a kid (so like a lot of years) and after hemming and hawing I finally pulled the trigger. I like pocket knives too so, figured I ought to pick up a 301.

I did not realize how much of a chunk the 124 is! This is a beefy knife, and I dig it. So it's heavy, I don't care, I'll carry it on my next camping trip anyway.

[Pouyan]

This is the new addition to my collection? She is a beauty?

Chris Reeve Knives
- UMNUMZAAN
- Tanto


I don?t know if there is any other knife out there for me?

Well, maybe a blacked out version of this

[crufflers]

Got a liner lock slipjoint... interesting. Locks work on these. GEC 23L


with some other larger traditionals and a ZT 0562TI comparo

I camp, I fish, I hunt; and I could use it for all of those. Though if we're being honest I've never needed as much knife as that 124 provides and often don't need much more than a Buck 110 or a Swiss Army Knife for that matter. But I like it, so I bought it!

The 124 is not discontinued but they aren't making a lot of them so it's hard to find them at secondary dealers. They are available from Buck though they are a pretty penny. Buck provides discounts for various groups of people through their pro program like EMS, Fed gov, LEO, vet, and I think certain clubs.

But yeah, the practicality of the 124... It's certainly bigger than I need for cleaning game (though honestly I find big knives useful for certain bits of butchery). It's about double the weight of the 119, and so not lightweight in the slightest. When I'm camping, if I plan on processing wood I bring an axe, hatchet, or tomahawk; but I wouldn't hesitate to baton wrist sized chunks of wood if I couldn't find any twigs or other kindling. So far as I'm concerned, it is in every way a modern (and useable) non-fighting bowie (or maybe a 'western' leuku).

Buck fixed blades look great. I never tried one. Maybe some day. I do have three of the folders.

https://buckcollectorsclub.org/ After you join you can buy at a discount from Buck the $184 124 knife linked above is $114 with the club discount. A 110 folder is $42 instead of $65.

I collect Buck folders. I was doing some of their Buck of the Month knives but they've upped the production numbers to the point I no longer consider them rare. The numbers used to be 50 or 100 - now 750 is common.
This is a Kalinga folder they did 50 of - https://imgur.com/KojGRQR
This is a 279 folder signed dealer award knife 168 made - https://imgur.com/p3bGli3

I didn't know that, that's awesome! I might have to track down one of each. The one in then picture is new off the line. Personally I'm quite fond of the saw-cut covers.

Hopefully I don't sound like too much of a fanboy but, if you like knives (and I know you do) you should pick up one of the 'old school' buck fixed blades and use it for knife tasks. They do knife things very well, and if you really want you can do some non-knife things with them too. They're American made (mostly), Buck has great service, maintains a good presence on bladeforums, has a great warranty, and is IMO underrated by most people who equate them to old Fudd knives.

In fact, I'd say that 'Buck = Fudd knife' issue is part of why Buck seems to not keep their more modern designs around. Buck doesn't keep stuff around that doesn't sell, and few people go to Buck looking for a 'modern' knife; so stuff like the Ground Combat series end up being short lived.

My Reiff Knives F3 EDC arrived today so here it is below a Survive! Knives GSO 3.5 that also came in recently. The fit and finish on the Survive! is perfect. The Reiff is a step behind but still better than say, any of my Esee’s, Benchmades, and other production knives.

Grip texture on the Reiff is smoother than the Survive!. Both are canvas micarta with CPM 3V blades. The Survive! has a more contoured but overall slimmer grip.

Been searching for the perfect EDC for my personal uses. So far these 2 fit the bill nicely depending where I’m at, what I’m wearing, etc. Next 3 knives to arrive are a GSO 5.1, EDC 2.7, and a TSK, all made by Survive! Might make some YouTube videos soon to compare all the knives I have since there seems to be a lack of videos on some of them. Maybe it will help some people out in the market who are deciding between them.

Great looking fixies. I dig 'em! I just picked up this little guy from C.W. Fuller.

I like the 124... I just have so many similar sized knives and a lot of users. Like a SYKCO Regulator or Regulator 6.5, a Jackmandu, or a Son of Dogfather (SOD)... with nice sheaths... and more beater-class, OKC RAT7, Becker BK15, etc... I probably have enough fixed blades, but would like to try a Buck sometime. Last year I minimized the fixed blades a bit culling dupes.

It might be worthwhile to pick up a WalMart 119 and just use the **** out of it for a couple of months. If you hate it you can give it away without shelling out too much cash.

Picked up this Cobratec Large FS-X OTF with blue anodized handle and a partially serrated tanto blade from Tombstone Tactical last week. It was / is on sale for $80

It's actually a very nice knife. It has A D2 blade.

Works perfectly the handle is all aluminum and very well machined.

For the money it was a steal!
