Survive! knives the most die hard fans?

I'll complain. It's rarer than hens teeth to find one for sale and if you do you better be quick. These things sell quicker than nickel tappers at a biker rally.

I've only been here a short time, but from what I've seen S!k has to have the most die hard fans on bf! Yes we have less numbers than Busse, but more passion. I don't even have my first S!k in my hands yet, but I find myself loyal and almost feel protective of Survive. It's like a family. I've never been a fanboy of anything as I am very critical by nature but wow they have a hold on me. What exactly is it about these knives that garners this type of fervor? I almost feel hypnotised by it all lol

I agree! I just love everything about them and Guy & Ellie are second to none!



Oh I forgot to mention they have the BEST looking camo scales on the market!!
 
Wow! Now there is a nice collection!
I really like that coated edc4, and agree that the old style canvas camo in particular is the best looking factory color.
 
TY! I just got a bunch back that were resharpened and more importantly reprofiled by Guy.

Seeing these has got me very excited to what Guy does to the convex edged models he has of mine.
Can't wait to see them after they are done!
 
His edges have changed slightly over the last few years and I think he's nailed it, which is why I sent a lot of them back.

Holy bucket o' blades, Batman!!! I am both really irritated and really envious at the same time. Just kidding... only envious. Not really irritated... well, kinda. Sort of jealous.

Very nice collection.
 
The strange truth of my appreciation for S!K actually came from two things.

1.) Several years ago when Guy was much less established than he is now, I really liked his philosophy and goals, so I put a couple orders in just to support him before I ever saw one of his knives. He is still that Guy today.

2.) As the brand and Guy's skill level has grown, his knives have reached levels of fit and finish approaching perfect. I know when I open a box with a first in it, I am going to get a flawless, shaving sharp knife made of premium materials at a price below what I expect to pay. For that reason alone I would be here. No one else is doing that in this industry. Period.

Thanks! That FDE 7/7 was my second GSO. It's in my avatar and was one of the knifes Guy used to test, at the time, the new DLC treatments. It's also one of my favorites and I've really run it through the wringer! I believe Guy has sharpened it 3 or 4 times and I've brought it back at least once. I am sure I am going to be bummed out when I get the new 7/7 like I was when I got the new 5.1, because the new one should be better. Which is hard to believe. But Guy made me a believer when I got my new 5.1....oh $6!t I am rambling...AND i just geeked out on you!!!!!
