@Zak you were one with selection of knives at Swap? Sorry brain doesn't give me full short remembering yet.

This is Chucks knife he got from Marines. I don't know all the detail except he used it earlier in his career. You can see the military clip built in sheath.

Edit. Chuck had a couple of his Ka Bar Marine knives too.

Gulp!

Hi Jerry, yes that was me. I remember you telling me about this knife. Thanks for sharing the picture, it's a cool knife!

You all must have influenced me. I’m not a “knife guy,” or at least I wasn’t. My inexpensive little folding clip knife that my wife gave me got even more damage from a trip through the laundry, and I wanted a replacement so I went up to McClendon (hardware) to see what they had and saw nothing that spoke to me. I ended up at Blade Gallery / Epicurean’s Edge. I imagine those in the know, already know, but I was impressed with the selection.

I didn’t know what I wanted, so I handled a lot of knives. I said I was looking to spend around a hundred bucks but open to seeing models above that, for comparison, you know. I started off looking at some Spydercos, stayed away from the Benchmades, and came home with a Sinkevich Zero Tolerance 0450. I handled some really cool knives priced another couple hundo beyond what I paid. That’s a store I don’t need to go into too often. It’s somewhat disturbingly easy to get to from my house. But I did like it!

Benchmade has some very nice folders and I have some . But they are very spendy. I really like SOG and they are my favorite. Somewhere at the bottom of the Gilbert boat ramp is a 200 dollar Benchmade that I dropped . I went swimming for it but no luck. The water was not warm. I wonder how all these knife makers can make it. A lot of competition. Benchmade , CRKT , Leatherman , SOG , Gerber , Swiss Army , Kai, Kirshaw and a lot more .

I have impulse purchased some knives because of this thread and maybe regret a couple but this is not one. Picked up a new bird and trout knife i'm excited to try out and take backpacking with me.

Chris Reeve knives. Found one actually in stock. This one is also designed to remove the micarta scales for lighter weight packing but it is already pretty light.

This just arrived from RoseCraft Knives. I bought it as a collectible after seeing online and its even nicer in real life. Rewrapped it and put it back in the box.
