Hello everyone. Being a gun guy and with the current state of affairs, I figured it was time to pick up another hobby and take up knives. I can see it becoming as much of an addiction as shooting/building ar's and I'm cool with that.
Anyways I was going to ask you experts some recommendations (apologies for this being another "new guy" thread.)
I've already decided to pick up a few pieces that I researched, that being the Ruike P121 Hussar and a Civivi Elementum in micarta. The Hussar will be a beater for work and Elementum an everyday piece. I also have my eye on some other Civivis, especially the Riffle or Odium that I will probably acquire sometime. Also, the Kizer Dukes looks really cool. Also, I will probably get a RAT and a Spyderco sometime because why not and they are solid pieces from countless reviews.
I would also like to acquire a blade that has the same/similar profile to the Steel Will Cutjack or Modus. Like for it to be a flipper style. Good beefy blade looks like. It could serve double duty as work/everyday. Recommendations for a blade like that? Something other than the Modus/Cutjack that would work well? I researched the Civivi Praxis but it looks a little large for what I would be wanting, plus not too crazy about the liners. Baklash would be more practical size, but it also has extra bling for the liners. Looking to spend no more than 50 if it will serve in two capacities (i .e. work and everydayr). If it were going to be an everyday carry knife that I wouldn't beat on, I could see spending up to 100. Any good quality steel will do, not turned off by the prospect of sharpening D2.
So so many choices. I could see this collection thing becoming troublesome around Black Friday time.
