[Ayahuasca]

CRTK M16


Nice little flick-knife.
Positive: Opens one-handed and fast
Negative: That makes it highly illegal in the UK.


Opinel No 10


Positive: blade takes a razor edge and stays sharp.
Negative: if the wooden body gets wet it is almost impossible to open.



Ka-Bar (short version)


Positive: stays sharp, strong blade, well balanced
Negative: if the leather sheath gets wet it gets loose, clip is a bit weak.



Gerber LMF II


Positive: super strong, excellent grip, brilliant sheath
Negative: very very heavy



Gerber EX Rescue Knife


Positive: One handed opening, serrated edge cuts lines easily
Negative: Difficult to sharpen, needs a hole for a lanyard


Collins 18 inch machete


Positive: light, flexible blade that is easy to sharpen to a razor edge. Cuts anything from tree trunks to grass.
Negative: none really. This is my 'daily driver'.



British Army 'Golok'

Positive: blade can also be used as a club
Negative: blade is inflexible, impossible to sharpen and loses its edge easily, pretty useless really

Guns for show. Knives for a pro.

I have a rusty old dive knife if you want to see it.

I had a knife meeting last week. Here is a pic of me and my knife friends being all friendly (we don't look threatening either):

So it's sunk to 'Readers' Knives' has it? Though I would guess the OP is more of a 'Red Hot Knives' man.

Seriously; I hope this continues as piss taking rather than lonely psychopaths comparing the lengths of their Bowies.

I have a lovely set of bone handled Victorian silver dinner knives if they count.

Isn't it a knife day.

Let's stop and have a knife cup of tea.

I know this bird at work, she has knife boobs.

This thread is a chavs dream.
But it's okay, they can't use the Internet.

I've got one of those tiny Swiss Army Knives they used to let you carry on your keyring, but now it marks me as a card carrying Al Quieda member, it just sits forlornly on the shelf downstairs.

We've got some cuttlery in the kitchen, if the OP is interested?

I've got a piddly dive knife and a line cutter too

Do you have samurai swords on the wall, a plastic "fleece" with pictures of wolves on it and the cheapest American car you find?

[Changedmyname]

There might be problems with this thread as most (I hope) people do not have much more than a pen/swiss knife, legally there are issues.
When I had a knife stolen from my shop in the summer I had to report it to the police, a lot of grief.

My knifes are for only one thing , cutting flesh, and guess what ,we are all made of it.

Great to see some proper working knives unlike all the poseurs that usually post Apart from the chopper, any proper Sheffield steel or legislators insist on the stainless ?

Thinking of starting a "show us your stick for stirring paint" thread.
