Knives

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Post whatcha got guys!

I have a dagger and a cavalry saber, but my actual knife-knife I bought in Munich, it's a Herbertz from Solingen.


Its Nr.205813.


I want this one though.

It's a beut.

[Lemur]

The only non-cooking, non-utility blade I keep is my father's officers' sword. Haven't decided where to put it just yet. Silly thing, giving officers swords in the 20th century, but there it is in its decorative glory. Have to put it on a wall somewhere.

[edit]

I have to get with the graphical nature of the program. The sword looks like this:

I have a dagger and a cavalry saber
What type of cavalry sabre ?

[Divinus Arma]

I have a genuine WWI German Bayonet with the Mark of Kaiser Wilhelm on it.

Also got a soviet bayonet...


And my favorite is a 1944 Afghani Officer's Sword with the mark of the very temporary king of the time.


Picked em all up in the 'Stan.

Also had an english WWI bayonet, but I gave it to my Dad and he has no respect for that kind of thing. I have no idea whad with it.

edit: oh ya. I also have My MArine NCO sword I won as honor grad of Sergeants Course. Forgot about that one because it isn't as cool as the other ones.

Do you want small knives, useful knives or just plain dangerous knives?

Kitchen knives, many various.

Those stupid hobby knives with thin breakable blades: lots.

Swiss Army Knife in my pocket. I'm always able to open a bottle of beer in style!

Two or three modern stainless steel work-grade knives, Mora or Fiskars or both. These are the things you use for cutting up plastic tubing, opening packages and whittling away at 2-by-2s in construction etc. Also a traditional murder weapon.

A couple of traditional souvenir puukko knives. Nothing special, except their carbon steel is easy to sharpen and the leather sheaths make it very easy to lose the knife when hiking.

A green Glock combat knife for real outdoors use. It looks good with my camo on reserve training, and you can open beer bottles with it too.

No, I'm not a member of a certain minority that uses traditional clothes.

And my favorite is a 1944 Afghani Officer's Sword with the mark of the very temporary king of the time.

Yep , rarity is the key to it .
Also had an english WWI bayonet
Just sold 8 of them , 18" in both leather(6) and fabric (2) though 1 was really Canadian . As I am mainly focusing on earlier ones as they are a better investment . I just hope I don't get caught out like I have with my WWII arial recon photos their price has gone through the floor . Damn Ministry of Defense flooding the market with its archives

FOI my friend, affects your photos and gives me more work

[English assassin]

Hey, you mean we can got old MoD pictures by asking for them thanks to FOIA? Brilliant.

On topic for a reason that is lost in the mists of time I have a 1914 Prussian Infantry officers sword at home, which will no doubt be very handy when, err, well...?. I also got about 4 army machetes thrown in with some tea chests of armoured car spares at an MOD auction, which are very handy for machete type jobs. In case anyone was interested.

[Beirut]

My collection is purely work based these days.

I never leave in the morning without these two on my belt.





This is either in my work bag or on my belt as required. (Now that I have one again)



I also have two very high quality hand forged axes - one for limbing trees and the other for working logs for log houses. Two 8lb splitting axes for firewood, a standard hardware store axe, a small expendable hatchet, my lovely new Cold Steel Recon 1 folding knife, and a very small Gerber folding knife that I lose every time I find it.

[Kagemusha]

Here is two knives i use:

Sissipuukko


And Ilves puukko

[Togakure]

I posted the creme of my collection in the flashlight thread day before yesterday. I have a couple of punch daggers too, which are sitting in my safe back in Reno (they are illegal to carry in most states). I also have a classic 4" folding and locking Buck knife (standard fare from my high school days; every guy had one it seemed).

As far a decorative blades go, I have Glamdring, an LoTR sword (the one that that Gandalf bore). I recently gave my Sting LoTR blade away to a friend. It was actually very well made (I've seen nice and really garbagy Sting blades on the market).

English assassin Hey, you mean we can got old MoD pictures by asking for them thanks to FOIA? Brilliant.

I wouldn't word the request like that, but I don't see why not

[Kagemusha]

Thanks Ja`chyra.

Edit: beaten to it

[Tribesman]

Yep them auctions are good , the machetes they sell at those "surplus" stores are crap , as are most you find in hardware stores , the genuine ones are hard wearing and comfortable on the hand (plus cheaper) as a good alternative at work to the machete I have purchased a couple of old W.D. meat cleavers at the auctions , they go through soft stone like its butter .

No it isn't Anyway it wasn't under FOI was it ? I thought it was part of the IWM accesible history thingy .

[Byzantine Prince]

[Beirut]

Erm... Why do you guys need knivez?

We need them for work or we want them for collecting.

[Fragony]

I got an 300 year old african ceremonial sword, it wouldn't look bad in a final fantasy game. Shame my camara is broken, it is the coolest sword I have ever seen.

[yesdachi]

I have an Arkansas toothpick, a standard Nam era air force utility knife, a good quality katana and my favorite is a butterfly knife. All were gifts.

[Kääpäkorven Konsuli]

Erm... Why do you guys need knivez?

Up here boys get their first knife before they can even walk. And man isn't man if he does't have a knife!

Hiton hyvä puukko kuitenkin.

On.

[Beirut]

There's an old Inuit (Eskimo) saying; "You either need a big knife or a big miracle."

The big knife is less expensive and easier to get.

[Dutch_guy]

Swiss Army knife, don't have any daggers or katana's , my mom would kill me

My version doesn't have the compass. still It's a good survival knife, have to say I haven't used it a lot though

:

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I've got a Swiss Army knife which I carry daily, a Gerber multitool that I use for camping, and a wickedly sharp fishing knife.

[Kagemusha]

Btw Beirut.Do you timberjacks in Canada use this?Its called vesuri here in Finland.Its good for cutting branches and little trees and bushes.

[Spetulhu]

It's called a brush hook in English.

[Kagemusha]

Thanks Spetulhu. My english doesnt cover all the tools.
