G'Day people. I have been lurking for a few weeks so thought it best to day hi. I am based in norther Australia, in the hot and humid no mans land part of the country. I have been collecting since 2004. I have bought and sold a few different knives up to now. Attached are what I could find around the house quickly for a bit of show and tell.

My favorite knife is my SOG Flash 1. I carry it everywhere. I live in a pretty anti weapon country (knives and guns make most piss their pants and accuse you of being a psycho for owning) so small / tool blades are the only option for EDC.

In the below pictures are my CRKT M21, Wetterlings hatchet and ADF issued shovel (among others.) Love the M21. I carried it with me while doing logistics work in Africa. It is big, strong, cuts things doesn't slip out of a sweaty palm. The axe and shovel live in the car (VW GOLF R). Because you never know when you will need to shovel shit or chop wood.

I have recently read about RMJ and Winkler knives so currently have a Tomohawk and Belt knife boner. Looking forward to getting one or two.

I work as, what you in the states would call a 911 opperater. Feel free to hit me up on questions regarding North Aus, opinions on wildlife, stupid laws and whatever else.

Cheers all.

Looks like Busse and Swamp Rat are well represented there. Come over to the Busse Subforum where we have several Aussies participating. (I am not one of them, by the way.))
 
Welcome, mate. How ya goin?
There are few Ozzies onboard here, and some of their lingo has rubbed off on the rest of us. :)

What town are you near? I've never been farther north than Mt Isa or Mackay QLD.

That's pretty much anywhere north of Sydney. :D
 
Welcome, and nice collection you have there! :thumbup:

Like MikeH said, stop by the Busse Combat forums.
Quite a few of BF's resident Oz members hang out with us there.
 
It looks like you're packing for a trip to go cut/chop stuff! Haha nice collection and welcome to the forums. My twin sister now resides in Melbourne, she married a kiwi she met in Canada.

Thanks man, will give it a look. Still getting used to the forum so a link the the area would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks Marcus. Yeah, i'm the weird one of the family that likes shooting, outdoors activities, etc.

Melbourne is a nice place. It is the cultural city of Australia. I would say it is like San Fransisco.

Where I am from is like Florida / Louisiana. Nice enough people but a little red in the neck and there are HEAPS of crocodiles (think a bigger, more aggressive alligator.) That and we have comparatively crappy gun laws. :(
