I see that I am in good company here, nice to know that other people also have more choppers than would seem reasonable to normal folk.

Don't get a chance to get into the wuhdz as much as I did because of the constraints of college and a few other things (like a 4 year old with another one on the way). Hopefully things will change when I finish my Master's, maybe I'll even get back to teaching (I miss it).

But here are my choppers:

CS Khuk Machete. Best 20 bucks I ever spent with my clothes on. It's a little more scratched up now.

CS Trailhawk. I flat love this thing. I want a Rifleman's hawk or a Norsehawk, too.

RAT7. Bought it back when Jeff and Mike were still working with Ontario. The black coating had to be taken off because a buddy's wife decided to slice lemons with it and neglected to tell me. Imagine my surprise when I found my knife eaten all to hell by rust. I used a Dremel, and sandpaper that started at 80 grit and went all the way up to 2000 grit. It has since developed a patina (::cough cough:: because I used mustard on it ::cough cough::).
