knives

[Hon300ex]

im gonna be gettin this knife for my bday http://www.buckknives.com/catalog/detail/408/238 and i wanted to know what knives other ppl have. there was already a thread about knives but i didnt know if i should bring it back.... post picks of your knives and tell how you like them..

[Screamin440]

Buck brand knifes are pretty good. I have a preference for Gerbers just because the blade metal is so good and their build quality is awesome as far as durability. I have a Gerber police issue folding knife and I have a larger Gerber with the cross hatched rubber grip. The second knife is a little too large to carry in your pocket every day so it doesn't get used very often.

[Scott-300ex]

nice thread


i got a few

my favorite is the one in the picture

a Kershaw Avalanche spring-assist, one flick with the thumb and she comes flyin open 3 1/8" blade

i like Kershaw a lot, strong and sharp

i got other knives and daggers and stuff to but this is my favorite one that is clipped on my pocket 24/7, no matter where i go, school, church, wherever. And it comes in use a lot

While a knife can be labeled as a weapon, so can a tooth pick, a straw, paper clip or anything else that can be used to maim or injure someone. A knife is a tool that has been used too many times as a weapon so that's all people view them as, at least the people that don't use a knife for what it's intended for, which is working.

i cant seem to make up my mind on what kind i want... i want it to be spring assisted, 3.5 in. on the blade, and not serrated.... i cant seam to find many liek that. what does linear lock mean? if it doesnt say that does that mean it will jus come open?

[400EX QUADER]

u guys I WAS KIDDING!:D Just IMO you shouldn't bring a knife to church. Keep it in the car.;)

[nowukno]

This is my favorite , i got it off ebay about a year ago for like 20 bucks. It's small but still cool ..............

[Scott-300ex]

is that a switchblade?

lock is you have to press a button or move it up to open it

my first clip on knife i got i didn't want serrated, but then i did my kershaw is serrated as you can see in the picture and you can cut threw some tough stuff with it

spring assisted is cool, but that one up there i got is a $90 knife, so it costs to get it, lol

i don't know how you can't find one you like, there are millions look at kershaw, gerber, shrade, buck, and there is lots more

[Hon300ex]

if a knife has a black blade, does that black ever ware off?

[Hon300ex]

any one know the answer to the question above?

[Scott-300ex]

i got a shrade with a black blade

it doesn't wear off, but if it gets scratched it can turn grey, mainly just on the edges, but its not really noticable

[Hon300ex]

scott 300 u seem like u know alot bout kinves how many do u have?

[Scott-300ex]

not a great amount, but when im interested in something i look into it and stuff

experience/research

i enjoy it so i like to know a lot about it for fun

i prolly got like 27

260 if you count eating utensil knives

lol

[Hon300ex]

how long is the blade alloud to be and do the springs ever need to be replaced on spring assist knives?

[redlineranger]

i have a all stainless steel Gerber, and a Case, but i cant find any pictures of them on the net..... the gerber is my favorite

[Martin Blair]

you would be one to bring a knife to a gun fight :macho

HN400exracer..

Its on like donkey kong! :mad:

[Warnerade]

pssh...ill bust a cap with my airsoft

[Scott-300ex]

no, springs take a loooooooooong time to slow down, so you won't need to replace it. and if it slows down, loosen the blade hex bolt on the side and it will be like normal, just don't over loosen it


and length, i'v heard 6 inches and over you need a licence, but i've heard you can carry any length you want, those two comments were both from cops so...........

you can carry a meshedi around so who knows


i hope its not 6 or over is illegal, cuz i carry a 7 inch dagger in my car

My butter spreader is 8 inches :eek:

No one turn me in please!

[Hon300ex]

my freind told me it has to fit in the palm of your hand..... idk about that tho....

[Scott-300ex]

if i had a cuttin torch it would fit in the palm of my hand

[Hon300ex]

i made my mind up and im going to get a buck tempest in platinum.....http://www.buckknives.com/search.php?op=detail&start=0&pkid=408&category_id=238&search_term=tempest&return_op=search it seems like a good knife to me:confused:

Smith and Wesson knives are crap to be honest. Their styling is good but the blade won't hold a sharp edge for anything.

[HondaEXrider22]

This site has all the knife and weapons you would think were illealge. www.budk.com some very awesome looking swords and stuff.

i also really want a whip, circle around you and snap it:devil:

and my clip on my kershaw is black and that never wears

and dude, i got a magazine just like that budk site

[Shrk352]

I love my spring assisted kershaw, this is my second one since I lost my first. The spring worked great for three years then I broke it while reasemling the knife after cleaning, but kershaw will send you a new one free in the mail no questions asked. I have the tactical blur http://www.kershawknives.com/large.htm its an awsome knife, I cary it with me 24/7 and use it almost every day.

[Hon300ex]

ive been looking at that knife but idk anything about it. does anyone have that knife or heard of that brand?

[Hon300ex]

anyone??

If you want to actually purchase a quality knife, then you should look heavily at benchmade knives (www.benchmade.com), emerson knives (www.emersonknives.com). I would also look at spyderco knives, but I would prefer an axis lock benchmade, or an emerson over most knives from the spyderco line, but they are very good for the price. Also consider looking into the Strider/Buck knives which you will be able to find on the buck website. The strider/buck knives are a collaboration between strider knives (www.striderknives.com) and buck. Strider designed the knives and buck produces them to keep the overall price down, while still providing a very quality product. For what you are talking about, I doubt you want to spend the kind of money on a real strider knife if you only have a passing interest in knives. If you are serious about a quality knife I would look at these companies in order of the best: Strider, Emerson, Benchmade (same high quality as emerson, but I prefer the emerson designs more) and then the strider/buck, and then spyderco. Kershaw is ok, but it doesn't rank up there in terms of being very high quality. You could probably pick up a good benchmade for $100-$200 at the most depending on which model you chose. An emerson will run you about $165-$230. Strider will run you about $350-$500 for a folder, and about $175-$500 for a fixed blade depending on the model. Look for knives with high quality steel such as 154cm, s30v, or ats34. There are other very good steels, but these are what you find on most high quality folders. Basically, any good knife is going to cost you some money, but knives are not a tool you want to go cheap on, and you get what you pay for. I'd rather have 1 good knife, than a dozen pieces of crap like I used to have when I started collecting knives. Most crappy knives you'd find at a garage sale or the flea market are pieces of crap that will collapse on your fingers with any real pressure. Some info on strider knives.... http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BTT/is_173_29/ai_n7578410 these are about the toughest knives you can find... they take so much punishment, and if you can ever break it.. don't worry because there is full warranty on it.
This is the strider model I own and carry: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/7053/ba043980ns.th.jpg (http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ba043980ns.jpg)

As far as sharpening goes, buy a spyderco sharpmaker. For $50 online it is basically foolproof, just follow the instructions and watch the video.
