Bonkers! how do I get my hands on one?! thats exactly what i've been looking for
 
Kershaw E.T. (Grant and Gavin are awesome designers). After cleaning my bathroom, which resembled a scene from "Scarface", and getting bandaged and medicated I can honestly say I love this knife. Someone please convince marketing at KAI/Kershaw that this knife should be sold as a kit to include: chain mail gloves, neosporin and bandages. Perhaps even tourniquets.
Spooky sharp!!! Great Knife.

Bonecutter by Sgt. Khadka bought through HI. I haven't taken photos of my own, so here's the one from the HI thread:

My wife bought me a brand new CRKT M21 Special Forces Desert Tan folder with G10 scales and a true hilt for Christmas. It's a beauty! Hands down the nicest tactical folder I own (I also have a Cold Steel Recon Tanto, and a Camillus Heat spring assisted folder, along with numerous fixed blade tactical & hunting knives). The AutoLAWS is really a nice feature, and one handed closing is quick and easy with a little practice. The Veff serrations are a nice touch as well, and they sure increase the cutting power of this folder. I would recommend this knife to anyone. Take it for a ride, you'll like it! (especially considering one can be had for $40 US, or so)

Funny you should mention that. One of the first things I did after recieving it was swiftly stab myself in the palm :rolleyes:while attempting to sheath it as I had a conversation. I looked at my hand, saw no blood, then began to squeeze it in order to get the germs/toxins/whatever out...which promptly resulted in prolonged bleeding!:eek: Expert use of pressure, application of my favorite stopper, and elevation stopped the bleeding but this knife has a vicious tip. The grip isn't as secure as I'd prefer, but for what it is it does its job damn well.

And the gratuitous knife porn:

UPS today! A Broker -Automat Kalashikov 74- I didn’t know that we could even buy push buttons anymore until my brother in law told me he had got one last month at… http://www.thebladeshop.com/Auto_Kalashnikov_Models_s/82.htm
I’m one those 50s era juveniles who liked the switch blade way too much after seeing Black Board Jungle ! The police ( there were still called that, not cops) had all 8th Graders come to the gym and told us to turn the knives over or go to jail. We filled up a box that was about 3ft tall. The fad for switch blades was greater then the hula hoop. Every guy I knew had several. Sorry.
 
My newest knife came today, a Byrd Cara Cara. Much more knife than I expected. Last week I got a Spyderco Tenacious, both were to be additions to my EDC rotation.

The Tenacious is a fantastic low priced EDC, larger than I expected, I love the blade. The liner lock is very tight and there is no movement of any kind with the blade. The handles fit very comfortably in my hand and opens easily. I was very impressed to have PB washers in this price range knife. Very smooth opening and closing.

The Cara Cara will also make a great addition to my EDC rotation. I appreciate the saber grind to the blade for its extra strength. The handles are very comfartable, although it is a slightly longer reach when opening the blade. The blade was not quite as sharp out of the box as was the Tenacious, easily corrected though.

I think both of these will make great EDC knives within the limitations of a moderate to light use EDC.

Great knives, fantastic bargains. I will definitely continue buying Spyderco knives.

spyderco spydercard for under 40bucks....feel pretty solid.

I received my first carved grip blade this last week too:

It is 10 inches overall length and weighs in at 8 ounces. It is of course a Himalayan Imports Kumar Karda by hand-forged by Sher Kami. The carved horn handle feels great and provides a real non-slip feel.
