It's kinda hard to see in the last pic(I suck at taking pics) but the tip on the scabbard is bronze sheet(instead of steel sheet on the standard scabbard).

I just seldom buy anything that I don't plan on carrying/using...lol...this is an unusual type of purchase for me.

I totally get it. There was a time in my life when I could carry everything I owned on my back. Didn't own a car and didn't want to. All my possessions were intimate to me and had immediate use. Now I've got more CRAP than I know what to do with. (sometimes it makes me nuts)

Anyhow, what it is, is that I've got more knives than I actually "need."
I still make a point of using every one of them, but sometimes it's really only token usage. (ceremonial in a sense) But even if you don't use a knife in the physical sense, there is still some reason you wanted it enough to spend your hard earned dollars to get it.

It's ART.

And it's legitimate, and OK to appreciate it as such. The shape, the colors, the fine edge (between Life and Death?), the texture of different scales, the fine steel blades, some with holes, some with studs, some shiny, and some satin.

This is ALL art!!

And art stimulates and strengthens the mind and spirit in the same sense that the physical use of tools stimulates and strengthens the body. Art encourages the growth of abstract thought in the subconscious recesses of the mind, and then later, when these "new" ideas are needed, they just seem to POP out of nowhere!

Even the ancient cave dwellers felt the need for art.

My point is that even if you don't use your kuhkuri, . . . you probably have already started to! :) (and it IS a beauty)

Cheers, CM.

Picked up a BM 555 a few days ago, love the minigrips, and this one has been on my wish list for some time now.
 
I had to buy a Alaskian Guide Buck 110 in S30V. Put in the order today. Great Classic knife in a fine blade steel.
 
Just picked up an almost new late 60s or early 70s vintage guard stamped Western bowie from ebay. No scratches, no wear on sheath, just a little storage wear. Got it for $61.00. ;-)
 
a cattagaurus 225Q off fleabay, completely ignoring my Declaration of Independence from ebay... lasted 7 months, probably be my last for a while, thats only 2 knives in 7 months not too shabby (Received 2 others as gifts from my father:D, not counting those!)
The 225Q was a tank of a knife and from what ive read the old ones with a thick blade of 1095 steel and the double thick pommel/hammer are way better than the Ontario release from a few years back, not to mention $32bucks for the old one versus $70+ for the Stainless Ontario version.
Wish it would get here already:D

I'm trying to justify buying that one right now. It's on the wishlist, and I want to swap the handle out with my Ritter mini and see how I like it :D
 
it arrived today, my first buck, ranger 112, posted some questions about it here, and ive got my answers ; i like the knife, feels strong and its just plain beautiful, just ordered another one ...
 
Finally after over two years of searching, I got these two Blue G-10 handled Spyderco Natives.

Those are nice! Are they linerless like the reg. FRN ones? If they are, I'd imagine they're stiffer, though?
 
I have a DM Knives Custom (Trigonaut) on order and a Busse ASH1

Have to wait for both which is a bummer.
