What is the most recent knife you bought?

Picked up this Dan Tope Lucky 7 in CPM3V with lightning strike carbon fiber over blue G10 handles and copper hardware. Dan made about 400 midtechs for a release at DLT Trading, but he had 25 handmade and serialized in this handle configuration with bead-blasted blades. Those sold out in 90 seconds, but I managed to be quick enough to grab one and lucky enough to get #7 of 25.




Also had my Kickstarter of Joe Caswell's morphing karambit fulfilled. That was from way back in April 2018.




... you guys may have figured out that I do a lot more with knives than guns...

I have bought these in the past couple of weeks: Buck 212 3 5/8"; Ka-bar 5 1/4"; and Bark River Woodland Special 3 1/5"


The sheaths for the Buck and Ka-Bar leave something to be desired, but the sheath for the Bark River is excellent and I have added a large "Light My Fire" starter.

Looking for info about my dads Case knife I've taken an interest in 1970-90's pocket knives Western Camillus Schrade. My last two bought Kabar and Old Cutler

I also got a Buck 212 like Sistema above. Mine is a little different though, from Silver Knight Knives in D2 with a burgundy micarta handle. Liking it a lot.

My last knife was a BRKT Mini Kephart purchased about a month ago at KSF. I like this knife quite a lot. [3.8" CPM-3V blade, 7.5" overall length, leather belt sheath with no retention strap].

This picture posting was a revelation.... I didn't know I could post pictures here directly from my computer. I don't like going through a service. I believe this may well be the very first picture I have ever posted on THR.

That is very nice.

Now I need to ask myself: "Do I need another knife?"

Of course, the answer is: "What does need have to do with it?"

That's looks like a great knife!

I resisted the urge to attend the Rep weekend. Had plans to visit the Smoky's on Friday and swing by there, but other obligations came up. Going to have to look at the SOG Mini Power Pliers. I think they make good multi-tools. Figure that I probably have more money in my pocket as a result of not attending.

Opinel #10 in carbon.

The one on the bottom, modified a little from the Green River buffalo skinner. The Old Hickory on top is my rough cutting knife. The two in between are my oldest; going back 30 years or so.

That Herter's knife has been around awhile. Still looks great.

The Herters is an old favorite but I like the hump on the back of the OH and the Buffalo Skinner for gutting bigger game. If I were to go backpacking after both trout and elk, it'd be a tough choice to bring one knife.

This, the honey badger. I have insight on it, a forum member whose user name i can't remember showed one and i saw it on a post i was looking at this morning. Looked good, priced right and amazon same day delivery so i took the chance.


So far i will say construction appears decent. Going to take the clip off and knock the shine off it and if it looks bad then i'll paint it. Going to hard use it and see how it holds up- expect a report in 6-12 months (less if it fails). Arrived medium sharpish and well packaged $36 even - we'll see , i usually have a bad time with less expensive knives.

Picked up an Ontario Rat II based on the pretty consistent rave reviews and D2 steel

Was razor sharp out of the box, and perfect size for most tasks I need a pocket knife for:



Earlier this year I picked up an Izula fixed blade with Armatus sheath:

Don't know yet but lost one of my el cheapo Home Depot knives out back while brush hogging so will need to get something one of these days.

Hauling a cornhead to IL, I just had to stop at the Brownells store. Picked up this kershaw leek for my girlfriend. I liked it so much I kinda wanted to keep it for myself



Sorry for the bad photo. Sun shining right at the camera. Actually made kind of an interesting effect though.

Curious how you like that folding karambit.

I’ve read mixed reviews.

I have bought a lot of knives over the years, but I've slowed down a lot on that.
The last one was about three years ago. A Benchmade Boost. It has become my favorite knife and is with me at all times.

I picked this one at a shop that’s going out of business.
