SHOW US YOUR BLADES

Some urban fixed blades (and yes, I took out the camera again). A Walther knife, a few from Cold Steel, and a boot knife from Smith & Wesson. The Delica folder included for size comparison.

Some bush/camping/hunting/woods blades. A Ka-Bar, Buck 119, Case, and Glock knife in the first shot (missing a Gerber hunting knife in the car). Joined by a Mora knife and Havalon Piranta in the second pic, and joined by a Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete in the last shot.

@Fidelity: The Damascus blade with the brown handle and decorative tang is impressive--first seen for me.

fidelity · Jun 22, 2015

Thanks. I gave one of my previous Damascus knives away as a gift, so wanted a replacement.

I bought from this outfit, which currently has two similar knives for sale ...

This dude is prepared.

Walking knife block. That's one way to carry them.

Reciprocally, I don't really have a great way to store knives other than laying them out in drawer. Was thinking that a leather knife roll might eventually be nice, but this often looks better if there is a uniform style to the knives, such as ones that come in a set.

New nessmonk to go with my tracker. Bushmonkey may be my favorite maker right now.

For those interested in Bush Monkey Knives (like the above beauties), DSG does have some in stock right now ...

http://dsgarms.com/edged-bush-monkey

And until Wednesday night, there is a 10% coupon code for any orders $75 or higher: DSG10POFF

Their website is notoriously slow, so be patient.

More on Bush Monkey, their design philosophy, asymmetric grinds, contretemps with others, etc, here ...

Pretty neat, especially for folders. :thumbsup:

One danger that comes to mind would be the need to fill empty spots. :ohnoes:

Same boat here.

That would be helpful.

Just like those empty slots in my second safe... :lol2:

Totally kidding... :cool:

Thank you. I just went up +1. I was weak and ordered a Bush Monkey Slumdog from the DSJ sale. It shipped fast and arrived today. It's a beast of a fixed blade in 3/16" thick O1 tool steel - pry bar strong.

Bafflingbs · Jun 25, 2015

I just received a replacement for my 20+ year old Spyderco Endura 3. They didn't want to replace it, but they did. Here's a brand new Endura 4. I'm curious that they deemed a broken lock as normal use, but warned that they made a special exception, in my case. I still don't know why everyone is so taken with Spyderco's. My Native 5 is pretty awesome. But only now, that it's finally getting broken in. Oh well, hard to beat a free Endura, And, it is face shaving sharp!

Bafflingbs · Jun 25, 2015

Bafflingbs · Jun 25, 2015

Oh, and by the way. Don't open packets of pool shock, with 8Cr13MoV or VG-10 steel blades. If you look at the Endura, in the first picture, you can see rust starting to form. That packet was opened yesterday. The little one was starting to rust too, in one spot. But at least it had been about a month for that one to show. I was smart enough not to use the Native 5 for that task. But, I do wonder how well s110v would hold up to chlorine shock??? At $245, I'm not going to try and find out. I polished the Endura with Baracade, and it cleaned up fine. I guess I'll try it on the little guy too.

fidelity · Jun 25, 2015

Good news regarding the Endura replacement. I'm carrying my 20+ yr old Delica today (with old G-2 steel that sharpens easily) - almost have a sentimental connection to this folder. That's scary how fast the rust set in (good thing that you checked!). I presume that the H-1 blade Salt or Presalt folders would have fared better.

Bafflingbs · Jun 25, 2015

I thought the VG-10 steel was supposed to be very rust resistant as well. I won't be using my knives to open pool shock any more. It is probably the sharpest knife I own now. As a matter of fact, I think it's the sharpest knife I've ever seen.

VG10 is highly rust resistant. I've carried my SOG spec elite in vg10 and my old spydie centofante in vg10 into the ocean as swimmin-trunk knives without a spec of rust after 2 days. I usually just carry the old AUS-8 spydie here though, as aus-8 isn't really prone to rust either and this knife was a freebie. Hopefully soon I'll pickup something nice like a jumpmaster for summer swimwear.

Of course rusting from chlorine exposure isn't exactly shocking. If you do that again in the future, just rinse the knife off with the hose before too long and you're GTG...hell, even just dunk the knife in the pool to dilute the chlorine a bit on the knife surface.
