The knives that make you proud.

[Jerry Ding]

There are those knives that allow you to confidently say "give me a ridiculous offer." I just mine recently SBD Arch Nemesis. Show me your proudest.

Not necessarily my proudest, but my custom Strider Nightmare GB (1 of 2) would fetch an insane amount on the secondary market.....if it were for sale.

Carothers dagger not mine any longer but was lucky enough to own for a while.

This one fills the space though

I'm really happy to own my fancy Espada XL, that I got in a package deal. The guy didn't wanna let it go for less than $300 becaus he liked it. But he included a Voyager XL tanto worth about $70 bucks and a GRIK worth about $40-50, all for $50 extra, and he had some GREAT XHP pre-GSM stuff he was selling that I missed out on waiting for a check, UGH.

AND... A 3V WARCRAFT TANTO *** ****** **** ***** in my *** with ** **** and **** while your grandmother watches! Tell that in your ear!! .... Sorry, sorry...
But I love to own those knives. Here is my current display case, I have a lot of knives I love that cannot fit there, my Cold Steels, RATs, Moras, fixies, all kinds of stuff, but here is my case! Gonna get a second case soon. Really need one, and my woodworking isn't good enough yet to make my own...

Had an original ZT777 for awhile but passed it on to someone who would use it.

If we're talking stuff I'll actually carry and use, pretty proud of this Caswell EDX...love this weird thing

Did you own one of the Damascus ones ? I don’t think I could let mine go but will never use it either, I can see why you let it go.

I think I can see the light.

My CRKs, my Grimsmo Norseman, and my Spartan Harsey Folders are all beloved. I carry most of the CRKs in rotation as well as the SHFs and the Norseman.

Yep, one of the Damascus ones.

So.... first time I've asked someone offhand - you think a guy would be happy with a Carothers? I want three fixed blades around 5"-8", three tiers of quality. Carothers is what I'm thinking is at the top. You like yours, my good sir?

Yes, without hesitation.

These are the knives I'm most proud of. They are three Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6's that I converted into switchblades, no simple task.

They are something I have wanted for most of my life- a big, strong, stiletto switchblade, one that fires hard and fast, has a strong, secure lock, and no blade or lock play.

The first two I built (top two in pic) have now been fired over 200 times each without a single failure, and with no sign of damage or weakening of the springs. They both fire just as strong today as they did on day one.

The third one I originally made to sell, but I cannot yet bring myself to part with it. I've only fired it a dozen times, I figure if I ever do decide to sell it the new owner would appreciate that it has hardly been fired. Although I don't fire it, and hardly ever touch it, I still like having it around.

I also built them to be easy to disassemble and reassemble for cleaning and inspection, another characteristic that's important to me.

Definitely the knives I'm most proud of, some of my most prized possessions, and what I consider to be some of my greatest accomplishments.

They are pretty awesome

Those are zuzzy-zazz!

 

[WValtakis]

This thing is dumb AF, but I am very proud of it anyway

 

[Glenn Goodlett]

I'm pretty proud of these. Mostly David Clark and Jason Clark. I wish I had better photos. An Arch Nemesis is on my list.

 

[WValtakis]

Not gonna lie...the Arch Nemesis is on my list too, I love folding daggers. Been talking to Brian about getting a plain slab version I could carve up for myself.
