@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?
-
@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:

@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 -
@Denman-John I’ll see what I can do

@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. -
Up the Sebenza

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…
