A pair of new budget beaters for work;
TecX Brute (by Case) - made in China. Yup, a case knife made in China, and I actually bought one, but I really liked the look, and for the price it was too easy to give in and scratch that itch for a bit to hold me over.
-ads say aus8, but official site says "tec-x knives feature 440 or Aus8 blades". Unfortunately actual steel used is not stamped, so Idk which it is, but considering how similar the 2 steels are it's not a huge deal either way for the price. It's actually a really nice knife for <$30.
-Action is surprisingly smooth, finish is great, definitely supassed my expectations for a knife this cheap and made in China. Sheath leaves a lot to be desired though, I really wish it had a pocket clip.
Kilimanjaro Victus, made in China with 7cr17mov blade, essentially 440a+nickel. I've owned a pair of smaller Kilimanjaro Vertices, and was really impressed with what I got for such a stupid low price, and performance was decent too, so I figured I'd give one of their larger models a go. This one makes more sense with a sheath as it is a thick hefty knife and handle. Action isnt as smooth as the TecX, but it's a $20 knife, so my expectations aren't sky high, but so far, worth every penny and more... definitely going to try and buy one of their Winkler collabs in aus10 this year...

Just got both of these beautiful specimens from another member on the Exchange; a Benchmade 710 McHenry and Williams in D2 and a Limited Edition 615BK-1501 Mini Rukus (although, for a "mini" it's not all that small so I can only imagine just how large the 610 full size is)!
Excuse the poor photo quality, just got them last night and haven't had a chance to take some half-decent photos yet.

Ok sorry to be this guy but can someone tell me how to post a picture haha thanks
Hey all, new here. I figured this was a good place to say "Hi" since in the last few months I just acquired two new blades, one of them arrived yesterday, my Mora Kansbol.
And my last purchase is complete now with the tek-lok kydex sheath I just received

Welcome to BF! I like the carry set up on your pack..
I think it might almost be Charlie Mike approved carry method as well!
Thanks, I will admit that is a throw back to my time in the service. I had jury rigged a way to lash a Buck woodsman to my ALICE straps for quick cutting duties. I kept the K-Bar on my belt.
While not in that picture, if I am hitting the woods for more than a day, I have a 14" axe lashed to the side MOLLE as well. Cheap simple method using double sided hook and loop tape. Works pretty well.

Just received this in the mail today Massdrop / Ferrum Forge Gent - completely blown away by this knife. I've seen a few reviews but the fit/finish, size, ergonomics, and materials are incredible - especially for $80! I may have to buy a second just in case I ever lose it.
