What is the most recent knife you bought?

Gil Hibben Old West Bowie. Made my own sheath. Pretty close to a Roman short sword. Has a nice balance.

A nice unmarked damascus pawn shop find. $32

A few posts up I mentioned losing a knife out back. Well, don't need to replace it after all cause I found it, the knife, out back by the barn.
Why is it that ya always find the cheap knives that we lose and never the expensive ones..?

Lost a Benchmade mini barrage mowing earlier this year.
Still hopeful that I will see it again.

Cool sheath for a nice knife!

Case Stockman

A custom 110 folding buck knife with water buffalo handles, finger grooves, nickel rivets, and SV30 steel blade.

ESEE6

Bought three El Cheapo (but not el crapo) Morakniv knives before Christmas. Gave one away, set one aside and used the other to go gutless on the buck I shot. Erring on the side of caution, I did bring my buck knife and green river knife along just in case.

Morakniv knives work and they get sharp but also wondered if I would run out of whet stone before the deer got parted out in the field (wasn't that bad but I had to resharpen it 4-5 times).

Santa brought me a Gerber mini Covert automatic. My new EDC. Spent an hour sharpening it I love SV30. So light it disappears in a jean pocket.

A spyderco native 5 light weight in cpm s35vn. I'm happy with the steel.

A damascened bone-handled kard dagger with a wootz blade and a Kershaw Zing to replace the one that I lost last month.

Nice! Kind of reminds me of one of my knives that reminds me of a Roman Gladius:



Need to get a sheath made for it one of these days!

I bought five last week.

About 15 different OPINELS for family & friends (and me) this past Christmas.

No knife, but did get a Spyderco Sharpmaker. So far, really like it.

While rooting thru one of my knife assortments (a.k.a., pile'o'knives[boxed] in a shoe box) I found a stainless steel NIB Spyderco C28P Dragonfly that I bought at the same time as the plastic-handle (lighter) version that I always carry with me. Seems to me that I bought these on-sale ~20 years ago (the C28P label shows a 2000 date) for ~$10-$15/each.

On impulse, I googled to see how much they cost now. They are now listing for a bit over 70 bucks.

Good to know.

SOG with 7" blade for my Daughter to take with her on her many camping/hiking trips. Self protection. For some reason she will not take any of her pistols (even where legal), citing they add too much weight to her backpack.

I just ordered a "The Drift" from Quiet Carry. It's a Ti frame lock with a Vanax SuperClean blade. I went with the knurled handle, as shown in the picture I borrowed from their website. I've been waiting for a mass produced, relatively affordable, good quality folder with a Vanax blade; so I jumped on this when I realized they were available.

Just picked this CRKT Ruger LCK for $15.

Just picked up this Minimalist custom from Alan Folts. Been trying to get one for years.
