Knife Thread. Last one archived. This is my Frontier Valley by Battle Horse Knives, great EDC blade and my first midtech.
Here's my edc - LT Wright Next Gen.
Both knifemakers used to be part of Blind Horse Knives, before they split and formed Battle Horse and LTWK.
This is the blade that won me best of show. I plan on making a Makarov inspired knife tutorial if anyone is interested in following along?
Just sharpened my edc yesterday.
>>28428185
Great choice anon. That was going to be my choice until I found the Frontier Valley for $50 less while having more edge and options than LT's Patriot. The scalloped handles are nice though.
>>28428604
also have the coyote - similar handle to yours, but a more narrow/longer blade. I live in EU though, so the prices are through the roof.
how the fuck do you carry around a fixed blade knife as an edc

Close up of the knife?

Sorry to trigger you, nigel. But you and your fog breather ilk can fuck right off back to faggy old london town.
>>28428589
>that tip
What happened to it?
>>28428496
Holy shit I remember this thread the first time.
>>28430006
That's what a knife looks like if you use it.
>>28430006
Finish is coming off. No breakage or anything
>>28428496
Why did you have to bring this up
>>28429575
In a sheathe generally. Its not that hard, people edc full sized handguns
>>28428496
Man, I remember that thread... I'm still pissed we never got to see the makarov knife...
>>28430851
Me too. I wish I would have waited longer before posting photos of his wife and potato of a son. Live and learn!
How would you guys recommend cleaning/polishing the interior springs of a slipjoint? I have a pretty old Imperial Frontier series knife that could use a little TLC, and the only thing left is the inside
>>28430851
x2. The other anon was in a couple of threads after that though. He said that knife went to shit while heat treating IIRC.
Before I buy a Benchmade Griptilian, which I'm about to, and have had my eyes on for a long time, anyone get any other recommendations? My old knife I'm replacing is a Sog Flash II, this thing is about the same dimensions, although obviously much higher quality
>>28428125
Battle Horse knives out of Ohio?
I've been looking at his stuff at a gun show in Pittsburgh.
Looks like good stuff. So tell me are they worth the price for them?
>>28431835
They are to me. Of course it doesn't cut better than a Mora but its edge lasts a lot longer and is hell of lot more better build quality. The sheath is great, too.
Just got a BK14 eskabar. Love it, it's the perfect little knife. Sharp as fuck too. However there is one thing that pisses me off about it:
>must buy handle scales separately
>must buy new sheath because the dulling one it comes with its garbage
After all that it's approaching $100 which is a lot for a small knife like that. I think it'll be worth it in the end tho
>>28432294
What's the bottom right most one with the upswept blade and green handle? Is it a BR
>>28432364
ya, and everything above it (minus the folders) are bark river
Is the Condor Crotalus a good blade?
>>28432970
For the price, yes. Most of Condor's stuff is pretty good.
I was considering a Crotalus when I was looking for a ~5" blade, but I ended up going with an Ontario TFI instead. The TGI is one of the few crowbar blades with a taper so I figured I'd check it out, it seems pretty nice so far but I haven't really gotten to use it.
You should also look at the Becker crewman and all of the mini Beckers, which I think are 14, 15, and 16.
>>28433093
I'm really just looking for a good mid-long sized blade that won't break the bank. I already have a mora black for smaller things. What would you recommend in the sub $100 range?
>>28433253
Are you planning to carry it? If so, what state are you in?
>>28432408
>bark river
Their knives are so damn pretty, but I've heard stories of shoddy products from way too many people to trust BR with my money. Burned edges and all that.
>>28433309
Only in the woods, and CO.
Was trying too find a knife like this. Thanks.
>>28428125
What is the largest knife on the market? I'm an avid hiker/outdoors person, and I like to dress to match. I know they aren't practical, but they just look so fucking cool.
pic related is a "Catachan Fang" used by the Catachan Jungle Fighters in the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. Measuring some 20 inches of steel not including the handle.
I know this may seem silly, but I want one. Is there anywhere I can get a knife similar to this? Kinda the same shape too, so don't suggest a Kukri or Machete, they aren't a Catachan Fang.
>>28435457

>>28434711
Then pretty much anything will do. Look through the catalogs of Kabar, Ontario, CS, ESEE, and Condor and see if anything grabs your attention.
If you can't make up your mind and want to hold off on a major purchase then you could get something from Ontario's SP series to tide you over, or maybe a Condor bushlore or some such thing.
Alright fuckers I was considering purchasing pic related a CRKT Thunderstrike. Any of you guys have it? What would be your review?
>>28435659
If it were me, I'd probably pay a few extra bucks for a better steel. If I remember right that knife is made out of 8cr or aus-8. What's your max price range?
>>28430849
how do you iwb a knife?
>>28435683
Fifty bucks. Gotta be on Amazon.
>>28431245
go for it
>>28435707
In a sheath with a clip. Some people also clip folding knives into their waistbands, which I've never understood.
>>28435741
What exactly are you looking for in a knife?
Do you plan to EDC it or just fuck around with it in your spare time?
>>28436009
EDC. Small and concealable.
>>28435457
There's nothing that big unless you get it custom made.
Here's a suggestion anyway
Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie.
Blade Length: 12 1/4"
Fit and finish has been known to be poor on this particular knife. Still works though.

>>28436136
Ontario's falcon and RAT3 would probably work for you, but they're both about $65. If you need something smaller then there's the Folts minimalist stuff and the SPEW, both of which I think are by CRKT. Also, there are some fairly small Beckers, I think # 13-15 or so.
>>28434762
Is that from a movie or something?
>>28436782
Japanese film called the world of kanako, incredible film, shot and edited very well, great new Asian extreme.
>>28434762
Boker Magnum Outdoor Cuisine II ?
>>28436136
>>28438284
bretty gud.
I have one and it's a really neat little knife.
inb4 sebenza faggot
Are we talking specifically EDC/utility knives or can we post any knives? Don't have my camera handy, so just googled a pic of my Bali here. To any Bali flippers out there: if you ever get an opportunity to pick up a Rep, make sure you do, 'tis a nice knife.
I actually just found this the other day in a drawer.
Don't really know anything about it other than that it needs to be sharpened.
>>28438777
Blade shape and size in relationship to the handle, as well as the fake golden accents on the handle almost make me think it's a Buck Folder of some kind. I'm not an expert in folders, at least not your average folders, I'm more of a balisong guy myself. Interesting way to find a knife though. No hallmarks/trademarks of any kind on the knife?
What is /k/ opinion on bone knives?
>>28438814
Don't know how I didn't see the Schrade at the bottom on the other side.
Also, I'm pretty sure it's brass.
>>28438814
>fake golden accents on the handle
You mean...brass?
>>28435457
1) you're a giant faggot
2) looks like a clip point bowie, should be easy to find something similar.
Wondering if any knife bros know where I could get my hands on a really well made Seax Knife.
>>28438922
Gah, you're right. It just looked like yellow metal, so I called it gold. It's probably brass.
>>28438884
Yup, it's brass. My bad. Not sure what model it is though, a quick skim of Google Images found one very similar, and a skim of some retail sites had some other Schrade knives, but nothing like this. At least now you have something to go on.
>>28437498
Thanks anon, Now I just need too find one too buy.
>>28438730
Hey bali guy. Name a few leaf shaped models of different price ranges. Im talking about the Kimura 2 model leaf shaped blade. Thats fucking baller
Mcustas. Smallest one for sale, if someone wants it Ill post it on reddit knife swap.
ZTs and a Fox
Lionsteel and Kizers
Customized Spydies. The PM2 is pretty much the best edc knife designed.
Last spydies and a customized Kwaiken. The barong is dangerous to close because its too smooth and scary sharp. My only knife Im afraid of.
>>28442210
That Delica is possibly the sexiest thing I've ever seen
And the rest, these are all for sale for the right offer, ask and Ill post on knife swap.
>>28442228
you 6 combo ruining motherfucker
>>28442210
>>28442222
If I didn't just drop a bunch of money on fencing equipment, I'd be all over that Barong (and maybe the Yoj).
Rate my
Puma-tec
>>28432294
What's the name of the top right one? I just broke mine recently and i need a replacement
>>28436457
I've checked out all of ka bars stuff, ontarios, esee and more and so far it looks like cold steel is in my range. Specifically the Pendleton mini hunter with a Kraton handle. Vg-1 stainless steel.
>>28442389
Not my thing but it's fine.
Texas allows switchblades, not the flick lookalikes but the real thing, anywhere online I could get one or only in a store?
>>28438284
What make/model/brand at these? They look slick
>>28442389
where is the battery go
>>28445531
real steel mini
>>28445567
Cheers m8
>>28438884
I didn't know Schrade made Buck ripoffs. I've always considered Schrade a low end company.
>>28436217
I've never handled a Frontier Bowie but never heard anything but universal praise about them before this thread.
For the price, I would like to see the blade made from O-1 rather than 1055.
Damn, I'm late to the party. Oh well, here's my EDC.
>>28442210
>>28442222
Who did the customization?
>>28442142
how does the vg10 on the mcustas hold up? better or worse than the spydies?
>>28445737
that's a weird colour. Or is it just the lighting?
>>28447630
Just the lighting. It seems to take that color on from certain angles. Looks nicer when in use.
>>28447824
I know, I have one - hence my question.
>>28447400
Yoj ja Delica scales from Cuscadi. PM2 from an american maker, scales bough off of knifeswap. Kwaiken sanded by me, scales from DNT3
>>28447603
Cant say for sure.. havent done testing or extensive use
