Knives You Won’t Sell

[XJ-linux]

Were I to lose everything and be a bum on the street, I’d still have a particular Large Sebenza I’ve carried around for years. That’s all I need. And this ash tray. And this paddle game…

What is this "sell"?

I've had this knife for a while. It's a custom Fairbairn-Sykes dagger by a now defunct company called ESA Swords/Gung Ho! Knives. They had several custom options, including several colors of ceramic finishes for the blade, handle and pommel. I chose an olive green handle and the other parts in standard black.

The handle crossed section had options for either the standard round, slightly oval and round with a thumb indent on the side. I chose the slightly oval. You could have the pommel with the standard pommel nut or custom skull crusher, and of course I chose the latter.
The sheath is the only thing that kind of sucks. It's a black nylon sheath with a kydex liner. Looks awful. Will probably get a kydex or leather sheath eventually.

The dagger deserves a custom sheath to your exact specifications!

Thank you! I think it's pretty cool. I'm hoping to get a decent custom kydex sheath that won't wear the finish. Leather is an option, if not too expensive.

I'm partial to leather.

I'm partial to leather.

I agree. It doesn't tear up your finish and looks nicer. Kydex is okay for some types of user knives, but leather always looks better.

I hear that.

Some guys I worked with engraved a kabar and gave it to me as a parting gift - worthless to anyone else, priceless to me.

I also can't see me ever selling my desert ironwood handled Randall unless someone offers me stupid money.

My umnumzaan shares my birthday of december 22nd, thats what pushed me into buying it 7 or 8 years ago. No reason to ever part with it.

Dad bought this R.H. Ruana in 1965. It was always the knife I begged to use when we were processing deer/elk/beef when I was a kid. He gave it to me about 6 years ago for Christmas. Still the skinning knife I reach for.

My collection is only 15 knives, of those there's a couple I really don't want to part with, but the most special one is a Gerber Freeman Guide. It was the first knife I bought as an adult with my own money, drove to the store and picked it out myself. Used it for about 4 years every day, sometime in that timeframe the rubber scales broke and my dad and I made wooden ones for it. They're mismatched and don't look that great, but to me, it's just a really special knife because of my history with it.

I don't use it anymore though, I don't like the ergonomics. Also I don't "like" that there's no steel designated on it (this place and Youtube be damned^^), so it just sits in my knife-box unused.

I also really wouldn't want to part with my Sage 5 (which is my first Spyderco) or my Manix 2XL (because that knife fits my hand really well and is an insanely good knife).

I would be hard put to sell my Geno Denning miniGM knife. It came out of a conversation I had with Mr. Denning on what I thought would be a perfect small knife. Mine is the first one ever made and is marked prototype, Mr Denning told me this the first one he ever marked prototype ( he asked if that was OK instead of a ser No. ) One photo shows it next to a standard GM model.

If iit's been gifted its staying put until it's used up
