Hopefully it can satisfy my boot knife backup requirement for the time being

Well, what is it?

And yeah, our knife laws are freaking retarded. San Antonio really takes the cake though

I know.

A week long San Antonio trip a few years back is what let me justify a Spyderco Kumo, as I didn't (and still don't) have any non locking folders

Nothing fancy. It's the Cold Steel Counter Tac II.

The big allure for me using it as a boot knife is the weight, size and strength. It's got a full tang and related tests shows it to be an outstanding piercer.

The BM176 just wasn't going to do it. I may still give the BM175 a try.

Rat RC-3 in SA for me.

[NeverMore1701]

Add a CRKT SPEW to the list. As much as I like my Minimalist I couldn't pass up it's big brother for $30.

I have picked up a few Mcustas, a Cold Steel Counter Tac II, a few Infidels and a Piranha Excalibur. I will try to get some pics up this weekend.

I really like the Counter Tac II. It is razor sharp and lightweight. The sheath isn't the best but it clips on and off ok. I use my blades as a CCW backup last ditch defensive tool, not edc cutters. I will probably pick up a full size Counter Tac and maybe a Tai Pan for kicks

edit: Oh, I also need to pick up a DMT system and figure out how to maintain the edges on all of these things!

edit for pic:


The Piranha is my favorite btw. It is SOLID and fires HARD. It
does have more blade play than a Benchmade however. The Adamas and AFO2 were offered for a price I couldn't turn down.

My selection of the CT2 is purely for defensive purposes. It will not be used for utilitarian purposes.

Recently bought a scrapyard 511... let the waiting begin.

[NeverMore1701]

Made a decent amount of unexpected cash tonight, so a BM 940 may be in my near future

Not sure if I want the bare or black blade. I like bare blades, but don't have any black ones. Hmm.

[NeverMore1701]

The SPEW (and it's little brother, the Minimalist):





I think it's a great little knife at ~$30, but they could have come up with a better name

[Lugi]

So far I bought, zt200,350,750,talonII,para mil 2 camo,para mil 2 blk g10 handles, skyline,leek not sure if I forgot anything.

And I have coming a ZT 780 in aug.

[Hoosier Glocker]

This year I've bought:

Benchmade Ritter mini griptilian
Benchmade Triage
Benchmade Contego
Leatherman Wave
Leatherman Skeletool CX
Leatherman Skeletool (regular version)
Leatherman Blast
Leatherman ES4 Squirt
Spyderco Delica ZDP -189, fully serrated
Emerson Commander

Probably some more I forgot.

I found all the Leatherman's except the squirt on clearance for great prices, only reason I bought so many.

Added a red smoke Kershaw Leek today. Technically it's for my wife, but I like it too...

[syntaxerrorsix]

What are the scales made of on those?

[mwcky2204]

^ Very Nice! Love the Kershaws

I picked up a SOG Twitch, very nice pocket knife with a fine edge. The lock is a bit funny but, overall a good buy IMO at $29.95+/-

Two of my most recent acquisitions:

Aluminium.

Yet another addition, BM 940 Osborne. The scales look a bit darker than the ones I've seen in stores, I rather like 'em. Unimpressed with the pocket clip, unnecessarily big and plain, I might see if I can get an extra for a Kulgera somewhere, it would look much better. Need to get the edge touched up, it's not quite as bad as my Contego was but could still benefit from a little reprofiling.




Goofy clip:

[matt_lowry123]

I'll probably pick up 1 or 2 more knives from archangel and call it a day.

[modestglock26]

I added:

Zt0350
Kershaw Tyrade 1850 titanium composite blade
Spyderco tenacious green g10
Spyderco dragonfly II zdp189
Spyderco Manix 2 trans blue
Spyderco endura wave
Dalton street assassin auto
Kershaw blur
Ontario RTAK ii

[Lone_Wolfe]

This just arrived today. Large Cocobola Sebenza.

[NeverMore1701]

Looks like the BullGod is the last for a few months, sadly. Not sure what's next on the list anyway, maybe a Junglas.

[syntaxerrorsix]

I order a BHK Bushbaby with fiddleback maple scales and a scandi grind. I'll post up picks in about 60 days
