Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Blackheart]

You're very welcome 4c, hope you find the perfect knife.

Put one of my favorite Spydies in the pocket today, the Yojimbo 2. Made in the USA, opens like a rocket, and secure as a bank vault.

Anyone know of a good knife that's legal to carry in Japan? I'm guessing pretty much nothing.

[seawolf]

That's about what I thought. I'll see if CRK has one

The only thing I can find after a cursory search is a 6cm blade length. My policy when in doubt: Swiss Army Knife. Everyone knows it and it's non threatening

[seawolf]

I can get away with kitchen knives. Maybe I'll just carry an 8" chef's knife and a pineapple everywhere I go. Swiss army is a great idea. I always have a little one on my keychain.

[IronStomach]

Always know where your pineapple is? Swiss army knives are definitely classic for a reason.

For those curious, this is what a year or so of living too close to an awesome knife store looks like… All of them get rotated pretty regularly, I never understood collecting knives just to sit them in a box.

[DougNg]

Why are most of your knives set up for right handed carry and the Dragonfly is set up for left? Just wondering

Good question! I've since changed it back, but for a bit I was wearing it clipped in my rear left pocket, and I swapped it so the blade would rest against the seam. Safety reasons, I guess.

Not sure if legal Zach but since picking up Hiroaki Ohta knives to me everything else fails in comparison. I would imagine McLain will agree with me. Their is just something about the beauty and simplicity on an Ohta

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, they are a pleasure to hold and play with. Sharpened to a scary grit too.

This seems to be a very good deal for a Lightfoot custom: http://www.ebay.com/itm/458-Magnum-by-Greg-Lightfoot-/251533573457?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276#viTabs_0

Zero Tolerance 0770CF

Weighs only 3oz.

This image is a little decieving. The ZT is actually about an inch shorter than the Sebenza 25.

[summ3rhays]

Sweet knife. I like the shape of the blade.

[summ3rhays]

Picked up the Caly3 sprint.  Super blue with grey G10.

With a little indigo bleed from 1 day in my fairly new RJB's

I used be a bit of a knife collector 10 years ago, and seeing this thread I thought I'd post a couple of (bad) pics
I'm thinking about starting to make my own knives, when time and funds permit it though.

As for brands, there's Spyderco, Emerson, Greco, Strider and customs by Greg Lightfoot, Fred Perrin, Blackwood and some that have slipped my mind.

[Anesthetist]

Pretty good stuff u have there! Especially the Commander and those Mad Maxxs!

[Blackheart]

Nice collection Arlo!

[Giles]

I want to know what was in the pic that he has deleted…..

I accidentally posted a pic of myself in Speedo's…

Actually it was this, pride of my collection
