Hello.

New member here.

Been reading threads on this forum for a bit now whenever I was researching a blade that caught my interest. Figured I'd make an account and start using the forum as well.

Here's my modest knife collection which I am hoping to grow with the addition of a halfbreed LBK in cpm 3v and a cold steel trailmaster in cpm 3v.

The knives in no particular order are:

A gerber lmf 2 infantry. I bought this for urban survival and if I'm ever on a boat. The serrated blade and insulated handle will come in handy if I need to do any underwater cutting or cut any wires but that's ALL I'm gonna use it for since my main boat knife is...

...A bk2 magnacut. I'd use it for everything else on the boat other than underwater cutting and cutting wires. Too heavy and isn't serrated, I don't wan't to rely on it for life and death underwater cutting...I replaced the stock grips with G10 because this is going to be a wet condition knife and I need weatherproof grips...

Then we have both sizes of both iterations of the cold steel leatherneck: the sf and the bowie. Based on my research, the only issue people had with these knives was the choice of D2 steel. Since these are purely for self defense, I am not worried about the metal choice. I have and plan to acquire other knives for non defense related tasks.

Finally, the 14 inch blade bowie with D guard from ex gurkha kukri house. Once again, this blade is purely for defense. It would work great as a large knife/machete for camping/wilderness survival BUT I prefer to acquire a cold steel trailmaster 2v for that as it's shorter, lighter and made of a stronger steel.

Hi all, been reading a bit here and there and started to get interested in older Vic’s. Current state is two champions and a ranger 55 for heavy duty, but interested in learning more here!

You came to the right place. Welcome to the nuthouse! Your first stop for SAK knowledge and info would be here. But by all means stroll around the rest of the forums, especially if your wallet is feeling a little too fat. 😁

First post. Hope I’m doing this correctly. From New Mexico.

Got my first knife from saving bazooka Joe gum wrappers. It was a fixed blade. Even as a kid I recognized how crappy it was. Utter disappointment

What does a 10 year old kid do? Steal one. Was caught. Had to return it personally. Wasn’t a pleasant experience. Immediately after apologizing my dad took me to Charlie’s Sporting goods in Albuquerque and bought me a sod buster.

My first job was working in a meat market, eventually was allowed to buy my own knives and was working on the block. Learned to sharpen my knives.

Had a knife in my pocket since a child. 60 years old and still carrying.

Usually it’s the Civivi Sendy. Been using it for 3 years. Very happy with it. Carry a Mora 511 carbon for camping and hunting. Easy to get wicked sharp. My dress knife is a SOG flash two.
