@mmerkle replying to your question about the knife in this thread as it is more fitting.

Knife in the waywt is a winterblade factor w/M390 blade. Got it as a gift and it has a pretty fun and smooth action that works with magnets.

Bought myself and Jacob a starter knife each for camping

@RoxRocks86 agreed, more appropriate here :). That looks sweet! I never heard of Winterblade before. (Not hugely surprising, given that I don’t keep up with, or know a ton about, folding knife makers). I went through a ton of Balisong trying to figure out exactly what suited me, but only have had a few folders.

@Denman-John said in Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades:

Getting this knife was like the first time I experienced Iron Heart and getting blown away by the quality, material and craftsmanship.

I treated myself to a Sebenza for my birthday this year and felt like I was being unreasonably extravagant until I had it in hand. It's incredible how something that looks so minimal and relatively simple absolutely shines as it's used.

[ConBu]

@Abracadaver @Denman-John I completely agree with you. A Sebenza is also on my wish list, and while it's not a knife, it shares the same philosophy: a CWF Custom Titanium Flashlight (Mini Turbo, Peanut, etc.).
Craftsmanship and technology at their finest.

@ConBu I’ve owned prob 10 CRKs through the years, hard to find finer.

@ConBu I have one of the autos, it’s a snappy little bugger!

@Abracadaver @ConBu Congrats on your birthday present! Any pictures? I’ve had this knife for about 10 days now and have carried it daily. Love this thing! In all its simplicity, it just feels right (or left in my case) in your hand. The action is breaking in nicely and feels nice and smooth. I’m so impressed that I’m considering picking up a Sebenza with wood inlays. This large Inkosi could definitely be a one and done knife, but those fancy Sebenzas are sexy…

@Anesthetist Your older pictures in this thread got me looking in this direction. Would love to see pics of your Chris Reeve knives.

@mmerkle Never heard of the brand before either, but can’t go wrong with M390 steel & it’s more of a fidget spinner or fidget flipper I should say

Tbh my most used knife is a beat up Milwaukee fastback utility knife with the folding bit holder I don’t know too much about knives, but I do have some favorite brands & steels.

Ooh Balisong! You still got them? Any pics?

[mmerkle]

@RoxRocks86 only have one anymore. I do have pics of the rest still. If you’re a fan, any makers you like? These were probably my favorites that I let go…big fan of Syco blade works:

[RoxRocks86]

@mmerkle it’s a shame you don’t have them anymore those are killer! I’ve only messed with balisongs a few times. My plan is to get my first one next time I hit up the Philippines
