Ever try one of the locking Trappers with thumb stud?
What is the most recent knife you bought?

For many years when I was growing up a Case Stockman was my go-to knife. Still have one from way back then but nowadays I'm more into single blade folders as my knife of choice.

^ You guys are feeding my knife habit. And I'm starting to go after all the Kershaws whenever I see 'em on sale-- so many of them are some of the best values out there in small folders these days.
Still appreciate the old Case pocketknives, too.

I don’t think it is custom. I’ve seen them online with and without pocket clips. I believe the newer ones are assisted opening too

Not bought, but a Christmas stocking stuffer from Santa! Benchmade Hunter.

Just purchased this Shun kitchen knife as a gift for my son. With everyone avoiding restaurants, figured he'd have more opportunity to use it.
68 layer Damascus with a VG Max core. Sharp doesn't begin to describe it.

What? I thought they looked very sharp?
The price was a little high so I had to shun them for something cheaper.

Bestech Ornetta. This one is an ergonomic dream for me.

When we bought our first house, my parents bought me a full set of those kitchen knives. 17 years later, they are still going strong. Amazingly resilient.

I got a buck 110 for "Secret Santa" this year. Its a new one with green plastic sides- no metal frame so not sure they'd be scales exactly. Its got a thumb stud and a pocket clip. Its really light compared to the buck 345 I normally carry at work.
Now, if I think about it, I may swap out my knife if we are going out. But I like the drop point better at work.

It's a generic linerlock but grinds and function are good, steel is up a notch from D2, centers well, and no blade play. Complaints about earlier models included tip down only, too-big blade studs and crazy big flipper. They fixed the first two, but the flipper is still a dorsal fin. It and the liner lock edge may be softened slightly if they get in the way.

I often see people talk about the blade being centered. Is this an important function thing, or just a tiny bit of OCD?
It's probably more OCD than anything, but to me it's an indicator of the care with which a knife is constructed. I see it mentioned in videos so included it in my comments. Not a deal breaker, and often possible to tune up, but further assurance that the knife is straight, sturdy and inspires confidence.

I think the only word that best describes this knife is "Breathtaking!"
Thank you for sharing this stylish bit of knife making art!

Yeah I’m not sure why but I really like that one. Haven’t stopped carrying it since I got it.
