Aye Sailor, I was quietly gutted when the actor said "I don't want to touch that sharp" and the prop master filed the edge down (only with a handfile) before me, I winced, as you can imagine, but I can't blame the dude, most knives on filmsets are rubber and this was the real deal.  But only the edge of the edge was blunted, so easy to sharpen but what a blade, I would imagine for Suel it would be like holding Shane Diesel in your hand  ;).  And yes I shall attend the Areo/IH bash (next sept is that right), beers on me.  And while we are on it, anyone fancy the C.C. in Amsterdam in 2011, I'm putting a posse together, the Van Gough's await and a few other things

Ill post. Some fixed blades I have a Greyman
Ever heard of them?

[DougNg]

Greyman knives are cool. Very utilitarian

I haven't been buying much in knives lately. Will most likely hit up Jerry Hossom soon for a knife though. The damascus tanto he owes me is still hanging on the wall. Need to bug him about that

hay guys.
i have a small collection of knives etc but non of them ever see
the light of day anymore.
sorry for the bad pic just did some quick snaps on my cell.

this is my favorite and was most useful
17 inch with a 12inch blade
just a little over 1.10 Lbs which is pretty light for the size
perfectly balanced with most blade wight on the tip so great for chopping

I call this a knife…

No Doug that's a sword.

[DougNg]

It's funny you mention that, I had quite the discussion with the knifemaker about this knife, and asked him how would one distinguish between one of his swords and one of his large bowies

He gave me a steely look and said "cuz I said so, shithead"

My Dragonfly's G10 handle has the awesomest denim stains, I'll post up a pic after christmas.

And since we can talk about kitchen knives as well, my choice is Mac knives. I love the feel of the wooden handle and the weight distribution on these. Started using them when I was studying to become a cook in the early 90's and I still use my first Mac (a 20 cm knife) daily. Moved on to another career later but still love cooking!

Nah, this is a sword:

Albion Gladius
Christian Fletcher scabbard and baldric.
Aero Barnstormer as well for those leather jacket fans out there.
