You picked up some amazing knives this year, no doubt about it! Your entire collection must be outa this world!

 

[Terry M.]

Those are phenomenal but especially that Johnny Stout blade. Holy shit!

 

[WedgeAntilles]

It was an expensive year. New acquisitions from ArnoBernardKnives , Hawk Knives, Berg Blades, and my all time favorite, CRK.

Dang now I have to go back and look and see what knives I bought this year.

 

[Ron Texas]

OP had a great year.

I had a great year after buying zero knives. Congrats to the guys who took up the slack for me.

 

[BladeCommander]

I got started late this year but grabbed a few that really impressed me.

2 vintage black box winchesters, made by Queen Cutlery


Pena x-series Mula in the Sons of Liberty Gun Works Tanto blade and black Ti + Lava Flow Fat carbon


Hinderer XM-18 3" slicer in DLC coated M390 with flipper delete


Hinderer Eklipse skinny slicer in Magnacut and battle blue.

 

[ShaiHulud]

These all look wonderful y'all

Since my original post another banger was secured! I won the Christmas giveaway by our very own darlington.edgecraft


And this fantastic kitchen knife from one of my favorite makers Blasted Hill Knives

 

[WhoMe?]

I’ve bought a few but this was my most prized piece of 2025- a gift from my wife and son for my 50th. It’s always on me as a secondary knife.

You are firing on all cylinders! You will fit in very well around these parts! I gotta get my wife on board with my addiction so she can get me bangers! As is she just lets me spend whatever on whatever

Take your wins where you can. My wife tells me "all you need is one knife"
Ah, humbug!
