Gander had these on sale a few days ago for $15. I picked up a few for stocking stuffers with my 22lr ammo order. -g

Where did you get it? Im looking for one of those.

Adding to my knife group I got a TOPS Tex Creek XL. LOVE IT!

I got it during the Black Friday sale at KnivesShipFree.com

Unfortunately it is back to its regular price. I think Knifeworks has the cheapest every day price on BRKT. But they don't have much of a handle selection.

The most recent purchase was a package deal and came with a Bark River Bravo 1 LT in CPM3V and a Bark River Necker II in CPM3V. You can get some sweet brand new or very lightly used knives on the Bladeforums.

I like drop points

I just bought a Cold Steel Mackinac folding knife w/ a blade that is 3.5" long.

It's available with a thumb stud; since I make my own I ordered the model with a nail nick.

The Mackinac is a knife of great strength.

Its faux stag scales are made from Delrin which is one of my favorite synthetic materials.

The Mackinac's scales are screwed on so it's easy to replace them with custom scales.

I want to make custom scales for it.

I expect to receive it w/in a week.

Saw it and bought it just because it looked so interesting. No sure if it has any real-world uses.

darn you

That knife looks awesome, what are you thought on it now that its in your hand?

I picked up 2 m1 garand bayonets that were drop forged and heat treated but no handle and not sharpened black parkerized. Taken off production line in raw condition.

Just in case anyone is interested. If you wan't to try out a Emerson and mainly the wave feature look into the Kershaw/Emerson collaboration. They are excellently made and can be had at a VERY reasonable price. I have a few and love them. Some even say the fit and finish is actually better than the Emersons.


(note: The knife on the far right is not one of the Kershaw collaboration knives)




These are my favorite two in the line of Kershaw/Emersons.

Very cool. Thanks! Two great knife companies. I'm guessing Emerson will get bought up by Kershaw.

Edit: I won't buy the $30 hybrid because it's made in China. Shame on Mr. Emerson. I'll keep my USA blade.

[BayAreaShooter]

If you do not wan't to buy because it is made in China then I respect that.

If you do not wan't to buy because you think quality is not as good then you would be mistaken in this particular case.

Either way its up to you what you want to spend your money on.

It's as interesting looking in-person as it is in the pics. Of course I could not leave it alone so I took it apart and sanded the blade and put it to the polish wheel. Now it looks really cool since stainless steel takes a polish so well.

Took it outside and tried some wood processing with it. Nope, there are far better blade designs for outdoors/camp needs. It is also probably equally inappropriate for animal processing.

But hey, it looks great! Bought it just for the fun of it, and I got what I paid for.

For the 7th day of Hanukkah, my wife got me a Stone River Gear knife with white stag grips to match a set of white stag grips I am going to use on a Colt 1911 build I have planned over the next few days.
