Some fine blades^^^

Well who is this famous guy?

Well I should have never opened this post, made me aware of a problem I seem to have. I started buying Case knives
quite a few years back, have around 60 of them. Wife still gets me a nice mother of pearl handle one every year for our anniversary.
Bought an Emerson folder for $275 a couple years ago, I think that is the most I ever spent. Have 4 Dunns, a couple White Rivers, a
couple Benchmades, a Leach Lake and a Cutco fillet knife, a couple old Schrade muskrat knives Couple of old Bucks
and a bunch of cheap stuff too. Carrying a new Kershaw folder right now, I really like it.
Every time someone posts a pretty picture of one on here I want one. lol

Zim

Zim do you have one of the bird hook case folders?

No Jayme, I do not. They are a nice looking knife.
I have never used a bird hook knife, do you like them?

Zim

Yes. There's sentimental attachment I have to them as well. I bought one for my brother just a little while before he passed away unexpectedly at age 46. I have that one (its a DU knife) as well as a yellow one of my own and a bone handle that is my son's. I think they are all discontinued now but you can find some of them on-line if you want one in your collection.

Looks like I will keep my eye out for one. Now you got me looking.

Zim

mission accomplished.

Cutco is what lots of guides are using

Paid $120 once for a piranha auto. Great little blade that sharpen really nice. Lost it about 4 months later chasing ducks along a river bank.

Define "good knife".

I might pay $200 for the knife Charlie Dobbins skinned most of his beaver with,

I WOULD pay $200 for a knife Davy Crockett skinned his with.

I might pay $100 for a modern knife, to put on a shelf, if it had enough meaning.

For using??? $30 tops as they never last a few months before I lose them.

My most expensive knives are fleshers. $80-$100

For me that's pretty much any blade that isn't made out of stamped steel.

150$ skinning knife made by a new friend of mine in South Dakota. But I’ll some day drop the 300$ for a nice OTF.

I almost didn’t write this- years ago I bought an Italian Stiletto for a hundred dollars to find out it was a very expensive buffalo horn 12” long icepick switchable that at the time was worth we’ll over a thousand dollars. I carried it around in my pocket as an everyday carry for over a year only for it to slip out of my pocket while I was riding on my ATV miles out of the Village. Not sure if I’ll ever forgive myself! That polished brass and lacquered horn just slipped away into the tundra. Lol I guess it was to nice to be carried in a pocket next to a lighter and some parracord.

Slightly off topic , I bought this kitchen knife set a bit over a year ago , love it. About $230

Im embarrased to say what I paid for this knife but I expect to make a profit on it.

Nice knife. Very good chance of making a profit off of it.

I'm like you Zim. i like good knives. My kitchen knives are Wusthof, my fillet knives are Wusthof Ikons, my butcher knives are Victorinox. I have a Dunn fillet knife and beaver knife. My new favorites are from a feller in Oklahoma. McCroskey originals. http://www.mccroskeyknives.us/

Thanks. I will probably keep it for a while to admire.before selling. I do believe I wore most of the bluing off taking it out to look at lol.

Schrade Oldtimer Trapper has been my daily carry for years.
Had one confiscated at the airport.
Last one I got is Imperial Schrade. I guess Imperial owns Schrade now.
