Now I want a custom kydex sheath for it.

I'll play.



On top is a Charles Marlowe Mini Badger with sculpted Ti handles, IKBS bearings and a Damasteel stainless Damascus blade. It's my first Bali. Charles makes AWESOME stuff!

On the right is a Tom Ferry Tango Foxtrot Knives DST. It's got a full Carbon Fiber presentation side scale, Ti Frame Lock design with a sweet D2 flipper blade riding on bearings. It's very light and solid for an 3.5"+ blade folder. It has already slipped into my EDC rotation.

On the left is an RMJ Forge S13 Shrike hawk. It's not really a knife, but sort of fits the category. Ryan and his crew make some really cool stuff. I've wanted on of their hawks since my Son was in the Sandbox some years ago and asked me to find him a full size Shrike and send it over. Holding it just makes you want to chop something. If I ever need a hawk, this is one I know won't fail on me. Solid tang 4140 construction with differential heat treat, it's designed to take a lot of abuse and not fail.

On the bottom is a pair of non knife chopsticks. While they are cool and made of Ti and CF and you could probably stick someone with them, they are really best at just chowing down on some raw fish. They do get attention from the Sushi chef when you screw them together (breakdown design) and throw down at the Sushi bar. They're only in the pic as there was a thread on another forum about "what did you score lately" and these were all my recent scores so I took a picture of them all together.

Oh, those and a bone stock, possibly unfired Colt 1991A1 that is still in jail for a couple more days

Good to see all the Busses and talk of Emerson, Swamprat, CR, etc..

Good stuff. I've always wanted one of Tom Ferry's Destroyer Escort models.

Real nice RMJ too. Don't be afraid to show more photos of it here... http://calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1087526

I could not pass up this one-off hand-made Lueneburg for $52 shipped with kydex. Crazy price... even on Busse Operation "Two Weeks" Wednesday. Battle Grade Team Geminis getting posted any minute.

Very tempting. That's a great opportunity to get a Team Gemini for "cheap". I still wonder though if this knife would be as popular as it is if it weren't on The Walking Dead.

I wanted one before I found out it was Daryl's knife just based on the name, hahah. Team Gemini Light Brigade just sounds cool. Then I looked at it and it is a classic Randall design modernized and beefed up. That fighting knife design has been popular for ages. I think the CG model is closer to a realistic fighting knife since it is more affordable. IMHO, the $150-$200 range 7.5 Regulators beat it as far as what you get for the money in a functional indestructible blade. I love my Convex Military Regulator (.33" thick including the coating) and Hollow ground regulator (.30" thick stock).

They sure don't look like a Team Gemini though This new one is only .20 thick and has a different choil from early reports. It'll be a nice variation. I got it in Black with black canvas micarta handles (which are grey and black really). I already had a leather and gator sheath that will fit it.

I prefer the SYKCO's I guess because they are more utilitarian with the grippy handles, but I do like the Team Gemini - it stands out with most of my other Bussekin stuff though.

Those Axis locks with bronze copper bushings are smoooth. I have a bunch of Presidios and a Contego that I love... and a 757 Vicar that I need to sell.

Just bought a CRKT M16-12ZLEK. Waiting for me United M48Axe to come in.

Cool knives. I know SOG gets a lot of negative attention sometimes but I'll always have love for them because my first "real" knife was a SOG back in the day. I also had a Trident a long time ago and put that thing through the ringer. It never failed me. Still have it actually and the blade still snaps open as fast as ever.

Your Benchmade of course is very nice. Stay away from "Smith & Wesson" knives and most Gerbers though.

[E92335i]

Thanks for the advice. Gerber was my first knife and then the S&W. Didn't know crap about knives before. Now I know. Kinda like a 1911. RIA then bought Ed Brown. Thought steel is steel. Different knives have different kinds of steel.
