Newbie really loving my Ka-Bars

[dorpmuller]

Only got started with knives in the fall after putting off collecting since 03

I'm looking online and saw the Tanto zombie killer. I HAD to have it, just for looks It is cool! Beautiful blade!

Next were multiple blade short tantos, both serrated and PE...Couple xtras for users, you understand.

Wound up with 3 Peter Fin fixed; one tanto,two drop points. One'll be a user. Cheap on Amazon.

I love the things... just for the superb build and overall good looks and I know they would deliver in a jam also.

Also scored a 1245 tanto on greedbay tonight for $35.00 BIN

Pretty happy 'bout that!

Dang, Rich, you got the bug bad. You get a camera in there somewhere?

PICS MAN, PICS!!!!!

I love to see the knives that everyone has. One of the major side effects of being a raving knife lunatic.

Those FIN knives didn't catch much play here in the states, I think its the "European" look they have. But from what I heard, they are some tough ass knives.

Tell me that 1245 doesn't just add inches. What a beast that thing is.

Yeah, I know I gotta get pics up... must do it when the wife isn't home. She hates knives-wish I knew how to handle that.

I left out the leather handle tanto! That's a beast, too.

The thing is, the dern things are affordable. I think the fixed fins are beautiful. I can tell you they took the hair off my arm right out of the box. They sure do know how to make 'em sharp in Taiwan.

I can help with that. Its easy, and complex all at the same time.

Start out by buying her something nice. And a knife. Small, unimposing, and her favorite color. Doesn't matter what it is, the make a small knife in that color, like say a Dozier folder, one of the pink Breast Cancer Editions. Save second base, I donate.

Then, do it again, but make the "something" less nice, and the knife alot better, maybe a different color, like upgrade to the Phatbob.

Then, last time, buy some shitty last minute "something", and a REALLY NICE KNIFE, like a Dogs head stockman, or trapper model.

By now, she is completely hooked on knives, since she has a small collection growing. Sit back, and chill, let nature run its course.

Then, try your damnedest to keep her from taking knives from your collection.

Same thing happened with LadyMoose, now, she has several from folders to Kabar fixed blades.

Whatever you do, don't let her handle your leather, man, GOOD GAWD!! don't do that. Keep her in Kraton.
