Whats your latest knife purchase?

I bought a SRK San Mai knockoff from DHgate awhile back for $15 or $20.

You can get the real thing for MSRP $180; $105 on AMZN. See: Cold Steel SRK San Mai.

If you love an SRK and want a better steel, I'd get a 3V version:

For a beater though... if you can get SK-5 for $26 that's a winner IMHO.

Well... i bought that Microtech Socom Elite a few days ago (posted above)
Annnnnd came across a new in box 08/2019 production date Microtech Ultratech bounty hunter in a serrated tanto that I had to have. Boba Fett is too damn cool.

Nice, I love the ultratech. The Utx85 fits my hand perfectly too. I have a UTX70ca that I wear with gym shorts and stuff. I almost got a bounty hunter in a trade but it fell through, congrats.

I have a special UTX-70 and a cool limited edition Ultratech that I love, even if I can't carry em in Cali. Outside of those two special editions, I've jettisoned all Microtech products as their customer service sucks in my experience. I've loved the Socom Elite in the past, but don't want to bet the farm on Microtech when the chips are down.

My latest purchase is a Boker Plus John W. Smith (JWS) collaboration:






It's got dove tailed Ti bolsters with black G10 scales and Ti liner lock parts. The blade is 154CM and it's made in Germany. It's compact, light, made of quality materials and extremely well finished. I have a couple of JWS custom knives and the level of fit and finish on this production knife when comparing is amazing, but the real custom Marlowes are at another level!

Here's a shot of a Boker Plus Marlowe KMP-22 along side the JWS knife for comparison. I have custom hand made versions of both knives and the Boker collab versions are good, but not at the same level as a real JWS or Marlowe custom.

That's a pretty impressive Boker sir, I can't say that i've ever said that before.

Whats your latest knife purchase?

I have always wanted a Benchmade Crooked River but I do not want to support Benchmade after the stunt they pulled last year.

Fortunately, I was able to acquire a pre-owned Crooked River from Calguns Marketplace. Man, I love this knife. Been carry it for a week now.

I ordered a Spyderco Waterway and a Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner in the last couple days. Should be here next week.

[mnichols]

These will be here later this week. Now to try my hand at making sheaths...

My daughter and her BF got me a Benchmade 381 for my birthday. Good kids.

Waterway showed up in the mail. Can't wait to put it to use.

Been eyeing this one for a long time, bladehq putting it on clearance made the decision for me. Couldn't pass it up for $110. Showed up earlier than expected.

Just received my Ontario RAT 7. Couldn’t pass up the price at 50% off retail. Now I have to find a good sheath that cost less than the knife! Any suggestions out there?
