What knives do ya really like but know ya shouldn't ?

[Varg Lobos]

I think Michael Janich designed that knife, but I could be wrong.

A Brian Goode To the Woods knife and a Rik Palm Fire Genie (ok not technically a knife but who cares).

Both are calling my name but is unlikely I'll ever have either one.

 

[Don Rearic]

Ain't that little airhaid shaped thing called a "Foreskinner?"

 

[Don Rearic]

I think Michael Janich designed that knife, but I could be wrong.

Then it is almost certainly an old PC WeeHawk Boot Knife influenced knife. Janich is an old Balisong Flipper and was into old PC and BM stuff I'm sure.

I have always really liked the looks of Striders, Extrema Ratio Knives, and the Microtech's (fixed blades). The Striders and Extrema's are super expensive and why I don't own any yet, but maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and get one.

Brian Goode Camp Digger, WSK and Fiddleback Bow Leg Chopper. Just because I can't afford them and don't have that much chopping to do, but they are the coolest looking big knives I've seen.

Thanks for the hat tip

333rm,

I obtained an Extrema model (Col. Moshin?) for a friend a few years ago and it was really nicely proportioned. However, like you, I couldn't see what justified the high cost (other than the fact it was THE knife my friend wanted).

Whoever designed that was a big fan of the old Pacific Cutlery (Pre-Benchmade) WeeHawk Boot Knife, that's all that Tatang really is...a call back to the WeeHawk.

They got even closer with the "Skinat", it just needs the false edge. Rather pretty with the orange scales.

Yeah, I don't know why, but CRKT's Hisshou is just so cool looking

This 5.11 fixed blade is something I doubt I would ever use but for the price, it seems like a unique knife that looks pretty darn cool.

Remember these? -

Although totally not the kind of thing that usually appeals to me by quite some margin I always felt the design had legs. That's strange because I like simple. Simple to me was the SOG Government. And I figure if I were looking for a knife for that role now for me it would be the Fallkniven S1 that took up the torch. So what is it about this?

Ha, I don't have the answer to that, and it is that dilemma which propels me. There's just so much I hate about it:

1] The grind
2] Too much belly and not straight enough
3] Over the top guard
4] Finger stalls
5] Sharpened back and I want rounded to push on
6] Idiot pommel uncomfortable to push on and digs in ya
7] Wasted space at the ricasso
8] I don't find FRN very comfortable on big knives
9ish] It's H1 not conventional steel. Never tried it.

Yet here's the thing – Despite having so many features I despise I can't help but feel it may be quite brilliant for the intended role. It strikes me as the antidote to those WSK type things and potentially a lesson in how to bundle an array of field and defensive application attributes into a small package.

It is of absolutely no use to me at all but I've a suspicion there's going to be some Israelis that are chuffed to bits with this. Oddities like this don't come round very often and that's why I like it.

Happy holidays.

I am digging that TOPS Hawke knife too, looks impractical but I like it!

 

[tholiver]

Also the ZT 0200, 0300, 0350 interest me as well.

Noooo! Don't say that! You'll just encourage him.

Personally I've yet to meet a knife that I didn't like. I've never seen a knife that I didn't think couldn't have some practical use under some certain situation or cutting chore.

I've been sort of put down by a few of my knife loving buddies because of my intense love for Hawkbill blades>> Spyderco Hawkbills in particular. The more I carry Spyderco Hawkbill folders the more uses I find for them.

I also concur about the new Spyderco fixed blade Warrior. The knife on the surface doesn't look like a working tool. But I can see where it would be a very valuable tool in some survival situations.

I truly believe that Hawkbills get a bum rap. I think that they are just completely misunderstood and have been the victim of baseless predjudice. I'm right now trying to locate a top notch fixed blade hawkbill blade. I hope Spyderco is drawing up plans for one now. They are truly a very progressive production knife company.

Now I do think that the new Spyderco Temperance 2 model is so elegant looking that I might have trouble using it for the first time.

But again I've never met a knife I really didn't like for some cutting chore and if nothing else I would keep any knife in my footlocker for future use. I do believe that most knives do have some practical uses and are valued tools in many situations.

I know I shouldn't but I really like this...

 

[A.L.]

I know I shouldn't but I really like this...

Why not? That might be very practical.

Talking of tracker knife, I would never buy one but I'd gladly test one. Maybe if the chop end would be convexed and the whittler part converted to scandi it could work much better.
