Don’t leave me celebrating alone knife brothers!

 

 

@cowboycopus how long you been carrying that fine blade?

 

Long enough to scuff it up on the outside but the blade is still like new.

 

Buck Marksman, 154 CM steel. My EDC, really a very good knife. Sets on my nightstand at night. Pocket clip all day .
I may have posted this knife here a long time ago, can't remember for sure.

 

I'm a little late as usual but I like those old Rapala's.

I am a fan of Buck's as well. This pair, 119 & 102, were gifts from my father. The 119 has gone through a few deer.

I recently inherited this Lakota Fishawk from my Uncle's estate.

 

Cool, never heard of national knife day before but better late than never. I'm a big fan of Buck knives, especially the automatic folders. Here's a pair of Elite 110 and 112 automatics with nickel silver bolsters.

Here's a couple more but I haven't seen them since I moved last summer. Probably boxed up somewhere in my gun room.

How do you like the 110 & 112 autos?
Been thinking of trying one out.
Always been a big Buck knives fan.

Is the 898 (orange handled) an auto?

 

Newest member arrived the day before yesterday. It's a 2nd Muela Kodiak with stag scales. The first has slightly nicer stag, so this one will be used along with another Kodiak with Micarta.

 

Knife day, hurray. Always carry one, where legal of course. On the range last week and a fellow range officer dealing with a shooters jammed rifle called to me, 'do you have your knife on you?' Course I do, just flick the offending case out. And while your at it, buy a pocket knife and carry it.

Knife crime is a terrible thing. It includes letting them go blunt, letting them rust and worse offence of all, not having one within reach.

 

Well, I had no idea that there was such a day. That's one on me! Next year I'll toast the day with Scotch. I'm always looking for a reason to make a toast.

While I have a couple of custom and semi-custom knives that I use for hunting, these military knifes that I used for most of my career, both overseas and in the States, remain trusted companions. From mountains to swamps and from deserts to jungles, they performed as advertised.

Indigenous machetes and bamboo knives from Central America, the Philippines, and SE Asia:

A well-used Kbar with its replacement sheath. It went through two leather sheaths in 30 plus years of hard service. This sheath will last about forever.

A Demo knife and a parachutists switch blade knife over an air to ground strobe light and a survival lighter:

 

Very nice!!

I have what you deemed a "parachutist" knife from my career as an Army pilot. It was part of our survival gear vest. I've not looked at my old gear for many years since I gifted my Grandson my old "steel pot" liner for his birthday. I'm curious now, if I might also have my survival knife, which was the same? as a combat knife to my eye. I'd reckon both would be worth a good bit today after being carried by this old man in 3 combat zone deployments.

Thanks for the pictures 👍

 

Buck 420HC is no slouch though. Buck is the best in business at their heat treatment with that particular steel.

 

Today it will probably be one of these:
ZT 0450
ZT 0562

This is my new Marble's knife with excellent ergonomics and very good steel. Imported. - TR

 

***Just a reminder… tomorrow is National Knife Day!!! Post your knife you’re celebrating with, while doin what it does best!!! (Use it to cut something)

@Kendawg is doing right as he’ll be opening his White River Fire Crafter on NKD morning 😁

Happy Knife Day Eve!! See y’all here tomorrow!!

 

Today I decided I’d spend the day(or more) with the Case Sod Buster… I’m sure he’ll be used at some point 😁

This is the day to reach deep into the knife drawer and drag out a neglected one to enjoy the day or week with. What’s yours?

Happy Knife Day!!!

 

Happy National Knife Day!
Received my White River Fire Crafter in today’s mail.
This is my first White River knife and I must say I’m impressed. It comes in a nice wood box that is sealed with a paper stamp.

The steel is S35VN and is razor sharp. This is the 7 inch version, they make a 5 as well, but why waltz when you can rock and roll.

It came in a kydex sheath with a fire steel.

This is it in action filleting up a feather stick…

She comes with a divot in the scales for a bow and drill operation.
I would definitely buy from this outfit again!
Thanks @.DIRTY-.THIRTY …now I have to eat hot dogs for a month! Lol.

 

Love the profile of that thing! Nice Sabre grind! Is those liners red or orange, coming through orange on my end. How’s the blade thickness?

Orange liners with green micarta scales…3/16” blade thickness. There is some jimping on the spine along with a small cut out for striking the fire steel, nice sharp right angle for drawing sparks.
Everything about this blade is well thought out and high quality.

 

Awesome knife! A little rich for my blood, but I can now live vicariously through you.
