I'm pretty much done with production knives

[JTR357]

I tend to buy custom knives if I'm looking for something special. And once a production knife reaches a certain price point, I am strongly motivated to buy a custom instead.

But there are still plenty of production knives that catch my eye. Thousands of knives I don't have but wish I did, with new models being released every year, and even completely new companies starting up. :thumbup:

And it so happens that both of the brands that I semi-seriously collect were production brands, Schrade-USA Old Timers and vintage Bruckmann pocketknives.

Additionally it seems I have particular difficulty saying "No" to a good closeout sale!


FYI, you don't need a paid membership to buy from the Knife Makers For Sale Area. The sellers have already paid a KnifemakerMaker membership fee to list their knives there, and are more than happy to sell to us Basic members.

Yea,someone corrected me on that awhile ago.Thanks for the heads up though:thumbup:

Another heads up regarding that forum section, watch it like a hawk if you're in the market to buy. Many of the best deals on the best knives are closed within minutes of being posted.

Well,I just pulled the trigger on two that I want...BM930 & Spyderco Kris,also got a Browning Icestorm red handle for $33!!

I don't know who I think I'm kidding about giving up production knives

Now I still gotta get a Spyderco Caly3,Boker Sub-Claw,Mcusta Damascus folder & it's probably gonna take me the longest to save up for a William Henry.Then of course,I have to get a Bark River Aurora & I've heard you can't just buy one Barky

Then & only then will I be in the market for my first custom...I hope maybe by late 2009-2010?Hopefully before that.Only time will tell

...maybe I'll hit the lottery

Bob just FYI there is a difference between "Basic Memeber" and "Registered User" IIRC its 10 bucks...

They should have a lifetime deal though... Its gonna annoy me to re-up every year lol.

udtjim,

re your redhead/blond/brunette remark... does that mean a bottle of Clairol will transform my $5 flea market knife into a Sebenza??

Quick - which color should I try??

Sorry, it's early... and not enough caffein!

JTR357,

Glad to see we misinterpreted your title! This place is a treasure-trove of knowledge - and opinions - all great help.
