My collection so far

[mikesae]

This is really addictive.

I have a Caly3, BM Mini Grip and just picked up this Emerson today.
Went to handle them all and had the pick of the litter

I'd say the Spyderco has the best finish and the Emerson is a tank; no surprises there. I like the BM for it's flip-action thanks to the Axis lock.

My first knife was actually a small Sebenza which I sold 'cause I couldn't get a good edge on it, but I'm thinking of getting another one...

Yeah, that's one hell of a start :thumbup:

My first knives even worth mentioning were a short black Kabar and a Cara Cara G10

Nice knives, could take a picture like the third picture in the first post? I won't mind seeing a comparison of the knives thicknesses. The money I could spend on these things....

Watch out, collection is an addiction just like any other, consumes all your money and your time.

I have an earlier version of that Emerson...the specwar.You can flick it open with your wrist faster than any switch.Got a nice sound to it when you whip it open.

 

[mikesae]

I think I have a problem.

I went in to get a Persian cos it's so different from what I have and ended up getting a Delica Wave also, just because.

What next? Emerson CQC-10? Maybe a fixed Ka-bar? Uh oh...

Picked up a Kershaw Spec Bump today:

I didn't realize it till I got it home, but man Kershaw executed this perfectly from design to assembly. Nice packaging, too.
I'm a fan! :thumbup:

 

[gine]

what's next for you offset or zero tolerance?

Picked up a P-Sark over the weekend. Saved a wedding with it actually- in the last minute I was able to cut the boutonniere holes that were still sewn shut from the rental tuxedos. Well, I cut too far on one, but 7 out of 8 wasn't bad.

As for the knife itself, it's not as smooth as my CQC-7. I've tweaked the pivot as loose as it will go without introducing vertical blade play and disassembled, cleaned and applied Militec so I hope it will break in.
