The BK7 is awesome. I have used it for a camp knife a few times. Splitting small pieces of wood of the fire, digging holes. Used it to chip the ice off of holes while ice fishing. Have used it for heavy batoning. Its a tough knife, for te price you can't go wrong.
I should also point out the Concealex case for the BM210 Activator in the lower left of the pic. It was made by forum member Normark, and it's so much better than the leather sheath that comes with it its not even funny.

I don't know why they quit making them, it is one of my favorite knives. I carried it every day for about 2 years. My one complaint is that the screws for the pocket clip are only tapped into the G10, not the steel liners. I removed the pocket clip when I went through an anti-pocket clip stage and put it back on, but stripped out the G10, so no more pocket clip for it. Still a great little knife though.
I love how when you show it to people they can't figure out how to open it, or think it is an auto and expect it to snap open or something.

Least I could do, considering you hooked me up pretty good, regardless if it was on purpose or not.
Redguy said:I EDC this knife since 2004, but I never realised this! Just checked, and you are right. That's the reason I love this place! :thumbup: Thank you.
No problem, and don't take that pocket clip off!
Oh, and I like the 210. It is a bit small, but super tough. I usually have the 710 on me for bigger tasks anyway.
That's a great collection, ginshun. There's a lot of different styles in there which is nice to see. I like mainly tactical style fb's and folders but that doesn't mean there's no slipjoints or bowies in my collection. Variety is the spice of life. Thanks for sharing the pic.

Thanks, I need a few more. I see an STC in my future. Probably a couple others too. Micro Malitia, Mini Millenium, the list goes on.

Ya, I am mainly a tactical folder guy, but I like to mix it up some. I just got a Granfors Bruks Small Forest Ax that I thought about throwing in too, but then I figured knives only was the way to go.

Ginshun,
What a well diversified collection...is that a SOG Pentagon in the upper left? If it is, I didn't think anyone but me had one...have not seen one mentioned on the forums, but maybe its because I spend most of my time on the Buck forum. Which is the other thing I must ask you about...no Bucks?? Lastly, were you on a ladder or second floor to take your photo or work it up in a photo program? Great job and thanks. Preston

Yes that is indeed a SOG Pentagon. Not the worlds most useful knife as far as utility goes, good for stabbibg stuff though. LOL.
As for the Buck's, the little blue one is a Metro that I got as a gift, and the one in the far lower right corner with the wood handle and the leather lanyard is a Buck as well. Not sure what the name is, but it is basically the same as the Alpha hunters that you see now, only it is a discontinued model from about 5 years ago. I also have a plain old plastic handle 102 Woodsman that I use hunting, only I can't seem to find it at the moment. I have a small Buck lockback that came in a little wood presentation case too (Xmas gift). I think it's a 503 Prince, but I'm not really sure. Just forgot to grab it off the shelf before I took the pics.
No Buck's indeed! Hhhhmmmffff!
Oh, and the pic is just taken with me standing above the knives, which are on the floor.

Ginshun, thanks, I stand corrected, should have recognized to Metro. In my defence, I did look at the lower right one and say to myself "that looks like a Buck, but must be a knockoff"
. I would like to know what the number is on the lower right one, and how that Metro is to carry and use? Preston
