You're gonna need a thicker camera.

I can't wait either!

That is a really cool collection, you have a lot of my favorites. Strider and Hinderer are big influences and I actually have a pic of the middle Warren Thomas knife on my desktop... the blade shape is so cool as well as everything else.

You're gonna need a thicker camera.

That's right!

Wow! THAT'S a collection!

I should post my fixed blade collection. Not many but at least it has some Fairly knives in it!

Great idea for a thread, Chris!

Here are my titanium framelocks, Daniel. I think you have a pretty good idea of what I like...

 

[Daniel Fairly Knives]

This thread is pure inspiration guys! Thanks...

Awesome collection Gooeytek! I like every one, there are some personal favorites for me there.

The fixed blades, including some Daniel Fairly content!

Really cool....

It feels good to be in that group!

I like the overall style of everything in your collection.


Post 'em up everyone!

Someone asked for a picture of wharncliffe blades, so I obliged. You'll recognize a few of yours in there, Daniel. Remember that little one in the middle? That's the first one I got from you.

Nice collection!

Hey I recognize some of those!

Those Kershaw "Needs Work" assisted openers are awesome, I love mine!

The middle one with the black/tracer wrap was probably my last knife before I got an etcher and maybe the only steel one in that style. I have been making that style in Ti since my first Ti knife. The new model in my avatar is the Ti Backpacker... same style!

Jonny Mac, Farid, awesome collection... feels good to be in the group!

yup, the Farid mule is insane. CPM-REX121 is amazing, and I've batoned with it, whittled wood, and I've reprofiled it to below 30 degrees inclusive and it slices very well despite the blade thickness. 70 HRC is difficult to put a mirror polish on with the equipment I have, and I can usually put a mirror polish on pretty much any knife I've come across using the paper wheels and it takes less than 2 minutes to do both sides, literally. less than 120 seconds. REX...not so easy. I need to put handle scales on it and try my hand at making a kydex sheath.

Jonny Mac's Wharnie XL is in Elmax with LSCF. I use it outdoors a lot, for fishing and barbecuing. I tweaked the shape a bit to make it less of a sheepsfoot.

As you can see, most of my fixed blades are Fairlys (I have 2 that aren't in the pic, the original Ti Backpacker and Extreme Kiridashi) and deservedly so.

As for the custom/customized framelock folders, yours will be in good company alongside the K2, TAC-4, FrankenMilitaries, and Nath'd CQC-10.
