My "Beef" if you're going to Show off your knife with pictures, please...include the Knife maker's name, catalog/order/description. Newbies like me would really appreciate this gesture.:confused:
 
Ha, I know the feeling. I remember when I started and I would see some amazing knife and be like "Holy **** that's effing amazing I need one right now what is it?!!"

Doesn't this happen most of the time? I think it does and if not, you can always ask.

No! Some do, most don't. That's a lot of asking. Now...wouldn't it be easier to post: Show off your knife with pictures, please...include the Knife maker's name, catalog/order/description. Newbies like me would really appreciate this gesture.
 
I fear that I have been guilty of this once or twice, by posting photos of knives without their names.

Here is a knife, I call her Margaret:

Sorry, I couldn't help myself ;)
 
Hmmm... naming can also be a bit tricky (and long)...

My current EDC set, from left to right:
* Kershaw Blur - handles from a 1670CFGRN, blade from a 1670CF
* Kershaw Skyline - handles from a 1760RDSO, blade from a 1760DAM
* Kershaw Leek - 1660DAM
* Spyderco Delica4 FFG - C11FPGR
* Doug Ritter Mini-RSK Mk1 - WilkinsGRIP BMG mini (Swimming Pool Green G11) handles, blade from DR558-ORG

Thanks flarp.

"EDC II Which knife or knives are you carrying today? "

The above blog is the reason for my request.
 
I have to say that most people probably don't even think to name their knives. I do it out of habit, but some people see fit to post a pic and it completely slips their mind to name them.
Especially when they aren't explaining said knife or being asked a question about it.

However, I've seen knives I didn't know what they were and wanted a description or at least a name, so I asked.

In time, you learn and recognize knives by name. It takes time and you do a lot of reading here on the forums and seeing other peoples knives, if you want more info, ask, no one is going to bite your head off for asking about their knives. Actually, as knife nuts, we get excited to explain our knives lol.

When I was new I didn't know a whole lot and had to learn. Another good way to learn about different knives is to frequent online knife dealers and check out what they have.
As far as some customs and rare pieces, you will likely still have to ask.

I don't agree with you. I think most do. When they don't just ask and your problem is solved.
