Thanks Themalemutekid. It was supposed to be a birthday present but my wife broke down and gave it to me for our Anniversary. The scales are bamboo....they don't look quite as clean now.

I own Spyderco Delica 4 with FRN handles that I go camping with

Love them both! grin

I've added a couple of knives since I first posted.

The first one is a Beretta that was given to me by my brother. It's has a Seki Japan stamp on one side and the Beretta Logo on the
other side. It is very sharp.It came in handy (tasting the different varieties of apples) last weekend when I took my niece & nephew pumpkin & apple picking.



The second one I bought for myself for ten bucks at a yard sale. It's a Buck Special Model 119. It's like new, just a few minor scratches. I plan on using it for camping.

Just to be clear. The Benchmade Fixed Grip is not the "mother" of the RSK Mk3.

Maybe not, but I bet the Mk3 would slice up a RAT-3 if the RAT started trashing a BM Fixed Grip and saying things like "Yo Mama!" !!!!!

Kewl stuff mate. Here's mine:



Fixed blade is SOG Gov't - I have it since '94 and has been with me everywhere that invloves camping/kayaking.

Three folders on the left:
CRKT SRT folder - new for me and fell in love with it. Very comfortable and sharp.

Spyderco Yellow Salt - my EDC... High vis knife that looks like a toy but packs a mean power.

Buck/Strider combo - my work EDC... just a tank of the blade good for cutting everything althou not used on bloody jobs. Also used when my SOG will not fit (hiking/climbing)

Two work knives on the right:
Spyderco Assist - attached to my turn out gear or clipped to the vest. Great rescue blade. When I'm geared up for rescue/tactical stuff I may not have access to my duty belt.

Gerber Hinderer - on my duty belt together with multitool (gerber diesel).


Not shown:
Benchmade Rescue hook, SAK (one of the one-hand openers sits in my car), dive knife (attached to my BCU) and custom Sebenza (custom WTC 9/11 graphics my night out tuxedo knife).

Dream blades? Quite a few but I'm sure it is more of the curiosity than need. Expensive blades like Strider are excelent tools but not too smart/economical in the system where loss of one is equal to one week pay. I owned a strider gb and stoped carrying one for the above reason. But I would like to "replace" my SOG with CR Aviator and play with OTF Microtechs (one I order got stolen/lost in the mail) and have few smaller Striders. As of now I'm happy with all I got.

Next on my list of purchase?
Spyderco Byrdrench.

How do you like the Hinderer? I considered buying one but couldn't find anything local that wasn't crazy overpriced. I ended up going with a Benchmade ERT-1 as a compromise.

In retrospect I like the ERT-1 because I can pocket it at work and security doesn't consider it at weapon...it makes a handy backup flashlight too.

I hope everyone posting their brilliant knife collections is already a member of Knife Rights. smile

Man, and I thought I had the bug bad...

It would take me a while to put everything into one place for a pic, but I'll try - I have them tucked away in very useful places, but I'm moving soon, so it would be best to take stock again anyway.
