Whats your latest knife purchase?

[rromeo]

I always thought those looked very interesting, especially when sales like that came up. Post your review when you get it? That seems like it might be on the short list of folders that are the next best thing to a fixed blade. Basically my list is a good size Cold Steel with a TRI-AD lock or a AXIS lock Benchmade 810/Contego M4 (not an important niche for me since I have neither of those anymore). Even a small fixed blade like a SYKCO Dumpster Mutt or 511 will be a lot tougher than those.

I got it. Wow, it's a big knife, not exactly for a pocket. It's about an inch thick. I'll be looking for a belt holder to carry it in.
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.

I'm looking at a 5" bradford guardian 5 right now. I have a gerber fill Tang but the steel is only meh. I like that cold steel fixed. What steel is it made with?

The CS Drop Forged knives are 52100... or as BUSSE calls it, SR-101 (with their heat treatment)

I'll post one I do not recommend... I finally tried a KABAR (non-Becker)





Impressive on paper and in pics... not a fan of the black coat (paint) they use and the steel is really thin. On a knife without a full tang it makes it feel fragile IMHO. maybe I am used to SYKCO, BUSSE, SWAMP RAT... but this knife doesn't feel rugged. I wanted a stacked leather handle, etc... but this one is being returned. For $90 it seems like a deal, but in person a 9"+ blade should be thicker especially with a rat tail tang. Doesn't seem like the KABAR name should be on it, but maybe the KABAR name isn't what I thought. That $60 Cold Steel is a HELL of a lot more knife.

Collector stuff...

Late-1970’s era Ralph Bone 'Orvis' model L with 5" blade and Johnson's Leather sheath

Benchmade Vector. I wanted a knife that would open easily with one hand.

Microtech Exocet. Mexifornia legal OTF blade.

Discrete as a money clip but ready to eviscerate a human at a moment’s notice.

[crufflers]

Scary.

Nice design.

Beautiful!!! Great score!

Thanks.

I had a few of these before and downsized them. Couldn't pass up a couple of new ones shipped at less than initial offering price. Now if I could find a Alpha Regulator...
