  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

What's the best looking fixed blade in your opinion?

This photo doesn't do the SOG Agency (second from top) justice, but it has a lustrous blued finish that I often just stare at. I bought the SOG Super Bowie (top) thinking it had the same beautiful finish (both are described as titanium-nitride), but it wasn't nearly as purty.



Now the knife below will not be faithful, she won't work and needs to be pampered constantly. But she has a certain tawdry beauty, or attraction. Still she's not a knife you'd want to take home to your bugout bag.



Finally, here's one that has its own beauty. It's the Ka-Bar my dad carried during the War. Every place he went, he enscribed it on the back side of his sheath! You can imagine how much it's worth to our family!

That's some good looking granite you got there.
Half Bull edge with a Flat polish undermount sink. Classy :thumbup:

Great knife too. Whats the black paracord wrapped around underneath the green cord?

Hehe, thanks; I had it delivered to my office, so I had to take it into the restroom in order to take photos of it (and there was no way I was waiting until I got home :p)

The paracord combination on the knife is olive drab on top and black underneath. The limited run of patina finished blades had various combinations; there were 33 made, and the combinations were apparently:
- 6x Black on top / Olive Drab underneath
- 6x Olive Drab on top / Black underneath (the one I got)
- 6x Foliage on top / Olive Drab underneath
- 6x Foliage on top / Black underneath
- 6x Olive Drab on top / Coyote underneath
- 3x Foliage on top / Coyote underneath

I'm fairly certain the cord is 550, but I'm not going to strip it to find out (I can't find anywhere where the type is actually stated).
The tanto version is discontinued (as of now), but I have high hopes for seeing some badass new stuff from the Bawidamann bros at Blade Show this year. :D
 
Hmm...

Homina homina homina... Oh I'd be like a kid in a candy store. Decisions, decisions! Nice photos man.
 
I like the grind on this one so much that I'm posting this before it's finished. Differentially hardened .200" 1084.

That is definitely the coolest thing I've seen. A treasure for sure.
