The most expansive knife you own?..

Kodiak and Owen,
don't you have anything better to do then act like morons and ridicule me?

Honestly? No, not really.

Listen.....I'm just kidding. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad, I was just joking a bit. I didn't mean to make you mad.

Geez misko, ease up there fella. Greg (Kodiak) was simply answering your question about his most expansive knife. How is anybody supposed to know that you really wanted to say expensive?

Hi Misko, the most expensive knife i have at the moment is a small plain sebenza it cost me about $ 300. I use it everyday and love it. I hate to sound like a broken record but if you begin your threads sounding angry then of course some people will be a little riled.

God bless
 
speaking of typing mistakes, does anyone else remember when someone posted a thread that only said "I am not really"? I dont remember what the thread was or who posted it. but that post started an almost cult-like following. Anyway whoever posted that was not at all upset at all when a lot of posts were made about the mistake. Just wanted to bring that up.

Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants;

To tell you something I know nothing about...

There's a women's meeting for men only.
Free admission, pay at the door,
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor.
It's a long crawl back to the garden
So get me off my hands and knees
'Cause the church keeps spittin' me out
Now we all know where they're comin' from...
We just don't know where they're goin'."

My most expensive knife is the one I got from my mother that was my dads it more then likely didn't cost him very much in the 50s but you couldn't pay me enough for it.Then It would have to be my sog seal knife, and then a couple of bowies that I have.Can't bring myself to spend more then 200.00 on a knife at this point and time maybe latter.
 
Greg,

This is the second time you've given me a belly laugh over "expansive" knives. I definately owe you one.
Misko- If you think Kodiak meant that to be mean, you haven't been here as long as your profile indicates. You must have been out performing your mob duties.

<(That means that I'm kidding you)
By the way Misko- I like Led Zeppelin, Anthrax, Mettalica, Godsmack, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Creed, Foo Fighters... just to name a few. Who do you like? Believe it or not though, if I was stranded on a desert island and had to pick one artist to listen to- Hands down it would be Frank Sinatra!!

p.s. Take the advice (I think it was Phil's) and get a new handle. At least take a break and let things die down a little.

 
Unfortunately, I posted before I finished the reading the book on Misko. Now I know that I'm just supposed to **** off.
 
Most expensive knives I use:

Cold Steel Stag Handled Trailmaster $180

Cold Steel Magnum XII Tanto $215

Jerry Hossom is making me a Stabilized Maple Burl handled Millenium Bowie I hope I never use for about $600.

My most expensive knife is a John W. Smith folder at ~$1,700. It will cause me the ultimate expense if my wife ever figures out that I spent that much on a knife

My most expensive is my Microtech Nemesis, then my Microtech HALO III, then my (soon to be) Microtech LCC/DA, then my Converted Buck 560 auto.
 
Misko,

Welcome. My finest user is my Ed Fowler bowie. It's in his book, second pic page, top knife. Is it expensive? I don't know....if it lasts only a copuple years in good working condition, it was expensive. If it holds up real well for the next 20 years, it was cheap. Before I started using it, I guess it was worth $1000 to $1200. Once I decided to turn it into a user, on the good advice of Kodiak PA, I tapered the blade edge a little towards the tip, and put a razor sharp polished edge on it. Decreased the value to others and increased the value to me. It's the perfect all around fixed blade.

I wasn't going to do this, but I have to. Sorry, man! My most expansive knife, which I no longer have but wish I did was an inflatable sword which I got when I was 3 or 4. It was factory, not custom. It was not differentially hardened, but you could adjust the overall hardness for the job at hand by blowing more or less air into it. For chopping, say on my brothers head, I would inflate it to about 6 Rc. For slicing, as in an actual swordfight, I would need to blow harder and inflate it to about 8 Rc. I believe that this type blade was the precursor to the differentially heat treated blades you see today.

I like bladeforums and consider the fellow forumites to be my friends. Some more than others, of course. Kodiak PA near the top. You'll find these guys like to have a little fun when the opportunity presents itself. So do I. It's not serious and these folks know a lot about knives. So, welcome and join in!
