Hey all..

Looking to replace a 10yr old Gerber utility knife and was amazed at the selection thats out there.

Lots of neat stuff..

 

Any of you guys collect or have any cool stuff you'd like to share? I'm looking to pick up a Benchmade Rift 950..

Went down that road a couple years ago, before I came to the realization that the LAST thing I needed was another expensive collecting hobby. Before I came to that realization though, I had acquired some nice commercial pieces (Benchmade, William Henry, Kershaw, CRKT, Boker etc.) and one really nice custom that was one of the last "built to order" by Allen Elishewitz (he now builds what he wants and offers them for sale - I got to choose the style, the liner material and color, the filler material, the scales, etc. plus it is monogrammed) - cost as much, or more, than a lot of the guns I own. Here it is...

 

Enjoy.

 

Adios,

Technically Im a Benchmade dealer. If you really want it I can get it for you and save you a few bucks. I am also into sharp pointy things . My EDC is an Emerson CQC7B. I switch off every now and then to my Spyderco Police. I also have a Bugai Dragonfly Katana and I have the very last Knife Decker knives has produced. Its a hand made Damascus Bowie. Its stunning!

 

Bob, gorgeous folder! Allen is a shooter too!

Pizza Bob,

That sir, is a beautiful blade..

How the heck is that pattern etched into the blade like that?? Does it seem to "move" depending on the angle in which the light hits it??

The blade is Damasteel (and you thought that commercial just made that name up) which is stainless Damascus. Many layers of SS continuously folded and forged until you get the pattern you want. It is then polished and acid etched (to bring up the pattern) and then polished again. I believe that pattern is called Odin's Tears.

 

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

 

Adios,

Have you ever checked out mineral mountain knives?

 

http://mineralmountain.com/knives.htm

 

I bought the FFOK#3 for camping. Heavy, not so pretty, near indestructable.

I'm more of a weapons collector. I'm not sure if any of my stuff is illegal to possess. I've inherited, bought over the Internet, or picked out of someone's "junk pile" most of the stuff I have.

I carry a CRKT knife everywhere I go.. they are pretty inexpensive.. solid build.. relatively sharp blade.. and good general purpose knife.. no complaints with it on any level..

As I posted in the other thread, I EDC an Emerson Mini-Commander. Also in the rotation is an Emerson CQC-7 (non-waved version) and an Emerson CQC-10.

 

I also EDC a Spyderco Tenacious - it's my beater/cutter knife... awesome knife for the price ($30) even if it is made in China.

 

Kershaw also makes some very nice knives for the price. I used to EDC a Kershaw Blur before I found out "speedsafe" is a no go in NYC.

 

As I write this, I'm waiting for some dude to get back to me on a Spyderco Paramilitary D2.

 

Knives aren't quite the money pit guns are unless you get into the super customs... but.. they are a fun distraction.

Ok, great stuff guys but COME ON..

Strider SLCC (TAD edition)

 

 

And here's one of the cats checking it out

Ok, great stuff guys but COME ON..

If I end up posting a pic of something illegal in NJ I would get in a lot of trouble.

I carry a spyderco, But have 4-5 serious Randalls in the safe. 3 daggers and a Arkansas toothpick w 12" blade. Will take pics when wife is at work!

If I end up posting a pic of something illegal in NJ I would get in a lot of trouble.

 

are there any knives that would be illegal in NJ? to carry maybe but just to own? i didn't think even our deathly-afraid-of-anything-that-isnt-a-butterfly-or-rainbow state had any restrictions on blades. (aside from being 18)

 

 

i got something thats more decoration than a weapon (being as its dull and made to be just decoration, though the tip is very pointy i could probably do some damage with that if ever need be) but decoration or deadly its still a pretty knife so heres a low quality phone pic of it because the battery in my digital camera cant hold a charge anymore.

 

Ooh that's a nice Kukri! I have one too, but not as nice. It's right next to my bed.... heh.

With regards to NJ law, is owning something considered "possession" or do you have to have it with you?

 

Here's the part of the law:

Any person who knowingly has in his possession any gravity knife, switchblade knife, dagger, dirk, stiletto, billy, blackjack, metal knuckle, sandclub, slingshot, cestus or similar leather band studded with metal filings or razor blades imbedded in wood, ballistic knife, without any explainable lawful purpose, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

The problem is that any knife can be worked to lossen up a little and therefore be considered a gravity knife.

 

Example, is the spyderco D'allara knife. The ball bearing lock while cool, is very easy to swing open.

The real issue is the officer that you encounter. I have met officers that dont really care if you have a knife as long as youre not a skell. I have met others that would lock you up for a spiked wristband! Ultimately its a bit of the luck of the draw. I did have someone recently show me an assisted opening knife. They asked my opinion. It was my NON_EXPERT opinion that that one would get you hooked up. It was my opinion that any officer that was to look at it and is not a knife expert would come away calling it a switchblade. YMMV.
