Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

@1WayTrip those OGs are super collectible. Nice one right there!

@Denman-John I’ve owned wood inlayed CRKs but even though they’re stabilized hardwood, something in my brain thinks they’re fragile.
I still wouldn’t kick a bog wood Seb out of bed. -

Very cool. Is that a PDW?

@1WayTrip it is. Large inkosi, magnacut. I did my best polishing the thumb studs because I really don’t like the blue.

I’ve always loved pocket knives. I got a Swiss army knife as a child and had it for many years.
Then 15 years ago I upgraded to a Fällkniven U1 - lovely knife (I have the blue bone version that they put in the outlet…), and at that time it was legal to carry it everywhere in Denmark, so it lived in my pocket - until the knife laws changed.
Now I mainly use it around the house, which is a damn shame, as a knife like that really excels at tasks where a specialized tool - that I often have at hand when I’m at home - would be better, but isn’t available.
Due to the legal constraints I have only bought kitchen knives since I got the U1. But recently I’ve found myself comming back to this fixed blade (producers picture):
An outdoors knife made by Moki, who make Fallknivens folders. VG7 steel, 8,5 cm blade, linen mircata handle - and a beautiful shape. I don’t do nearly enough hiking to justify it, but I am going on a shelter trip with my youngest this weekend…
-
So I managed to restrain myself. The Moki is great, but I don’t spend enough time camping or hiking to justify getting it. My trusty Fällkniven will have to do:
So instead of buying a knife I’ll end up regretting not using enough I’ll be looking for a slicer/sujihiki to supplement these:

Buck 110 just arrived today. Sharpest factory blade I’ve ever owned.

Back when I was in undergrad, I dreamed about owning a Benchmade Phil Boguszewski Spike. They were produced in the early 90’s but they were out of my price range and hard to find.
Fast forward to BLADE show 2005, I got to meet Phil and admire his customs but again couldnt swing it. Phil passed in 2013 and I let it go.
This past weekend was the StL knife show and not only was I able to score a Benchmade mini spike, but also two customs.
I am beyond happy!

I use a cleaver 99.5% of the time in the kitchen. The Victorinox 7 inch is light and really easy to keep razor sharp. It was a recommendation from @DougNg years ago. If I had to cut my cutlery game to one…it’s the winner

Due to our often strange laws here in the uk, my edc is usually one of these. Admittedly the larger knife could still get me in trouble (blade size) and the smaller one too (semi locking blade) although I’ve never had an issue with either…yet. Of the two I much prefer the micro blade it’s a really cool little knife
-
@BenBWH I have the same WESN microblade and really like it
-
@Anesthetist it’s a lovely little bit of kit isn’t it! I did want the next size up but not worth the hassle here in uk
