Its a bird!



No wait its a lame bird knife





The lamest part is I went to the flea market yesterday and bought it for $2 dollars since it was the lamest knife I could find for the contest.:p

A specific purchase for a chance to win, nice!
 
I don't have many but I was gifted this a few years back. It is a Frost Cutlery "knife". The spikes in the blade aren't even sharpened xD When I was first experimenting with Acid Stone washing, this was one of the knives I was messing around with. It used to have a satin finish. What really stinks is that the pivot screws require a special spanner wrench of sorts to tighten. Even if you did have one, you would scratch the blue finish to bits. that is why the blade is so loose and terribly off center :(

The handle is terribly uncomfortable as well o.O


 
I hope I'm not too late. I have lamer knives than this, but not handy at the moment. I'll post them tomorrow even if it's just for fun. This one is a camp brand knife, full rubber handle (no liner ao anything), the lock doesn't work at all, it just kind of flops around, and the gut hook doesn't go into the handle, so it gets caught on absolutely everything be it a pocket, your hand, or whatever. I've been hooked more than once on the stupid thing.

In New York, they'd call that a gravity knife:D

I think I used to have the same one, only without the gut hook. Good thing it's 'used to'.
 
Hahaha! So true! I think it was so silly, they took it off the website. I searched this afternoon but it wasn't there. Too bad, I though it had potential :p

Nice, I've never seen another. Does yours lock or does it just flop open?

haha I never saw another either! Mine doesn't lock it's a slip joint. Do you have any idea how long you've had yours? I think I've had mine since the early 1990s

Probably since the mid 90s. I've never been able to use it since the blade moves so much so it's been stored away. I'd love to give it as a gift to a nephew but it's too dangerous.

I wansn't going to enter but, I recently acquired a new piece of awesomeness.

If a Jarbenza had an automatic brother, this would be it.

Painted aluminum textured slabs
Serrated tanto blade of 44 O Stainless
A thumb hole that does nothing
Jimping!! Three big ones!
A button that almost made it open ( oiling the joint helped but it's still weak)
No maker name or country of origin. I suspect the Lady of the Lake had something to do with it's creation.

I notice a lot serrated knives in this thread; maybe plain edged blades are just a passing fad... ;):D:rolleyes:

Behold, the shark tooth fantasy folder! :rolleyes::foot:

In past I owned not one, but two of these incredible folding marvels (not my pic, only for reference as the knives were broken and LONG gone):

Everything about the pair of them was bad, gritty opening, poor lockup that would over extend the blade tang causing the locks to fail and blade steel that was so soft it didn't hold an edge.

They did serve pretty well for some fantastic destruction style testing though... :thumbup::D
