Looking for a decent M9 Bayonet sub-$100, bonus points if it looks slav.
First for Sharps is a fag
I had a friend a few years who was really into knives. He liked showing the ones he had and always promoted them as useful (when we were out doing stuff, he did use it for various things). It eventually convinced me to buy one. I bought a microtech OTF knife, because it looked fun, and I got a good amount of use out of it.
Just wondering, did I buy a quality knife or a meme/loser knife? Either way I don't regret it.
Just get an OKC M9, they're 100 bucks you faggot
>>30542170
as long as it wasnt a fake, it was a quality knife!
I have a bayonet for my enfield stamped mk 111 i was lead to believe this would fit my trench gun i recieved today, but it doesnt, am i retarded or it filling required because repro heatsheld
Need bayonet for M16A2. Do I go M7 or M9?
Best place to buy either for a good price? Don't really plan on using it as a knife; mostly want it as a 'because I can' for all my guns with bayonet lugs
>>30543467
Bump
>>30543467
>enfield stamped mk 111
no dude you fucked up big time you need an Enfield P17 or P14 bayonet not a lee-enfield bayonet

you guys rate this for an aesthetic bayonet for an M16A2?
>>30543930
Rather wipe my ass with the money and throw it away/10
>>30543951
Not even for looks? Just want something to clip on to my M16A2
>>30543930
>Coleman
No. Not unless it was way cheaper at least.

>>30544041
You could get an Ontario M9 or M10 although it would be a bit pricier. Kabar probably makes something as well. Any generally reputable knife company is probably okay if you're not super concerned with getting the best.
>>30544041
Also consider the OKC-3S which is what the Marines currently use.

Fug well thats fine least i know not to do something stupid now, any links to repros or sub 150 originals?
>>30544041
I have an OKC-3S for sale.
Make an offer.
>>30544019
I used to play CS:GO but the knife is more for my faggoty STALKER fantasies.

What're you carrying today?
>>30545939
Carried this today, I carry it most days because it's light as fuck and thin.
*unsheathes tanto folder*
Looking to get a benchmade bedlam this afternoon. Is 154CM a good blade steel? Also anyone got experience with the knife?
>>30546173
>Is 154CM a good blade steel?
Yep, combines good edge holding with pretty good sharpenability, don't go prying with it though.
>>30546121
>carrying a folder in a sheath
>>30546173
Yeah it's good, or you could get an espada or talwar for $50 less.
>>30546393
One could claim the handle scales were the sheath in a folder.
>>30546428
One could claim the pocket is the sheath.
>>30546444
Trips and true
>>30546173
Its pretty much american vg10.
>>30546050
You have good taste.
>>30546740
>sharps detected
>>30546937
I thought it was American ATS-34?
>>30546957
>>30546740
Why hide sharps :(
>>30541267
>onus points if it looks slav.
why not a AK bayonet?
>>30547137
Turned it off last night. Phone auto fills preference
>>30545939
typically carry the reeves and benchmade
>>30547172
Because OP is dumb.
>>30547268
thats right, ignore and dont reply!
the BM has been better than i expected after getting the edge bevel reground, they ship these with a real fat edge, but they made a pretty nice slim blade. To have the axis work freely and lock up still be tight and blade centered, loctite is a must.
Last bread I was talking to >>30539978 about a buying myself a knife. My price range is 200-100 and I am specifically looking for a folding knife. I live in the Chicago suburbs so knife laws are kind of strict, so no assisted. I'm not too picky about appearance, just care if it looks half decent, is sharp, and keeps its edge for a long time.
Best fixed blade knife general utility knife for under 125 with a 3" blade??
>>30547921
If you want the best then you can sit on the internet debating details and hypotheticals until the cows come home.
If you want a good, cheap knife you can buy a Mora.
>>30547947
I want a good fixed blade knife of 3"the 125 dollar range. Not something cheap.
>>30541324
Fpbp
>>30543515
M7 then, its lighter and has a cooler history
>>30547451
Shit injust got my first mini grip and the blade centering is fucked
Its rubbing the side and any attempt to tighten the pivot down makes the blade stiff and immovable and hugs the side even more.if loosen the pivot enough it centers but gets crazy blade play.bm has shitty qc
>>30548237
When it comes to small utilitarian fixed blades there's not much variety beyond what's decent and what's not. You'll probably end up with something like pic related but with micarta and a D2 blade or some such.
Come to think of it, the D2 BK14 is on sale super cheap on knifecenter right now.
>>30544500
I would give you $60
>>30547800
Benchmade grippy or spyderco pm 2.you cant go wrong with either and you can find them on the secondary market pretty cheap with minor use.i could give better but your preferences are vague because thats at least 90 percent of knives out there.
My most recent acquired knife, the Stedemon dsg
It's a really good knife and far better than I had earlier expected, function and looks wise. Pretty lightweight for its size and the liner has no relief cut on it which I am a big fan of.
>>30548313
2nding these
Or udder you decide you wanna get cheaper, I've heard good news about the spyderco Endura
youtu DOT be SLASH HIzKg1PThFk
>>30548313
>>30549208
Is pick related good too? I don't have much of a preference, but wood looks good. Its a Helle Dokka
Where can I get a delica for cheap? That's not a chink clone of course. I want a nice good beater EDC-sized knife
>>30550079
Why not just get a tenacious for now and save up for what you really want?
>>30544047
Wew
>>30550135
Because I want something different. I love peel ply G10, but what I really want is something with a little more color and the toughness of VG10. And I don't want something as big as the endura. It'll be my main carry beater and I intend to use it for many years to come instead of rotating it out "to collect"
>>30550164
Well, you probably wont do better than amazon unless you buy it secondhand.
>>30550079
I have a superblue limited run edition for you for 60 bucks
Today in my mail, very happy !
>>30548237
try something like this. lt wright next gen.
3'' blade, micarta scales (unless you want to shell out extra for fancy wood).
Also the lt wright bushcrafter (also made by battle horse knives).
If you want to go cheaper, try something like esee izula 2, or the new esee 3hm (redesigned handle, can't remember how much they cost though).
>>30550245
good friend was an army special forces medic in the late 70s
wife has MS and he has been super sick with something they have yet to identify -- lost like 40 pounds in 3 months without trying, all his pants are falling off. his left leg is all locked up and shit too when he walks
>still super optimistic
but, back to him being in special forces -- sent the required materials to JFK special warfare mseum and they are being totally bro about me buying him a yarborough. trying to get him one with his ODA number for the serial
>>30550384
cool
>>30550683
this has to do with knives how exactly?
>>30550683
..What the flying fuck
>>30550751
Because he's going to buy this
>>30550751
>>30550768
sorry
i was trying to give a roundabout compliment to JFK for being nice and use /k/ as my diary
>"hold me /k/" and all that
but yes, serialized Chris Reeve 7" Green Beret Knives, known as The Yarborough, as formerly issued to every SFQC grad and now only to honor grads are available for private purchase with SWC approval to all former SFers
trying to brighten the dude's year, guessing his old beret has gotten BTFO over the past 35+ years
>>30542170
I don't regret any of mine.
The addiction is real. Wait till you try a HALO.
OTF blades aren't for everyone, but i love Micros.
>>30552427
>I don't regret any of mine.
You post them like you do
>>30552518
Hmm, I see your point. But I think I may be one of two or three OTF fans on this board so why not contribute?
I'm not trying to go all Sebenza fag on you, just present something a little different.
>>30552427
I cant convince myself to buy any microtech otf's
>my shit tier lightning is a okay
>>30552572
That's alright. I started with a lightning to see if I liked OTF's. I decided to move up from there (like how I started with Chinese scopes and moved up to Nightforce)
To me its a point of diminishing returns, I happen to like OTF knives so they are worth the expense. But if you don't like OTF blades then Micros are absolutely NOT worth it.
>>30552558
It's stops being about contribution when you get a name and then a trip and keep posting just the same images every time
We've all seen them already and get it
>>30552666
Hmmm. New pics then?
Odds are I don't run into the exact same people every time.
>>30552572
>shit tier lightning
most fun ive had with 40 bucks in a while.
>>30541267
Sportsmans guide has surplus M9's by LanCay for $80. I was about to get one, until I saw the comments and saw they originally sold for $50 a year back.
What does /k/ think of Mora knives? I just purchased their collab with Light My Fire for a backpacking trip.
i thought i would ask in a knife thread before i go and actually purchase one, but i was told that this bayo lug i got takes an M5, but he wasn't 100% sure
does that information seem correct?
thanks for any help
>>30552572
SHARPS
>>30550079
Blade forums or reddit knifeswap.i never paid more than 40 for a delica.
>he thinks the Emerson deployment is reliable
Have fun getting your head smashed in when your little pocket clip fails to fire when you need it most. Looking at you Espada fags who think it's gonna save their lives some day
>>30553548
No one seriously thinks knifes are good for self defense. People like the Espada because it's big and cool, not because they think it has serious merit as a self defense weapon.
If you want to troll do it there: >>>/pol/
>>30553616
Kys, stop sending trolls to the best board on 4chan.
>>30553548
It already has once though
>>30553548
>self deploying knives are shit
It's the faster their is. The 1911 is first. The large Espada is second and the neck knife is third. Pocket deploying mechanisms are the fastest their is. A 5.5 inch folder flying from your pocket is more than enough to rattle someone.
>>30553761
There. Yeah I'm kinda drunk.
>>30553761
It's fast when it works but you have to have a perfect angle deploying it, you have to be standing up and you have to have room to swing your arm back far enough. Also sometimes it fails anyways.

newfag here, what are sharps and why the hate
>>30554243
I'm sharps and namefags suck. Obviously.

You're not a namefag anymore. You're a tripfag. You've really changed sharps.

Only on lightrails
What is everyone's opinion on Enzo knives? And since I'm here, how about Helle and Kellam knives? I want something scandi full tang and great
>>30556370
Better than gonzo
>>30554110
Not the other guy but that depends on model. I have a large espada yea it doesnt always work depending on type of pocket and you do have to move correctly. However my spyderco endura with opener has a much better and larger opener. It has never failed to open for me regardless of type of pants or angle I try to take it out. It basicly comes out opener immediately every time. So not all openers are equal.
>>30556386
Focus dude. Focus on my question and provide a substantive answer
>>30552681
Not the same guy who replied before.
You do.

maybe not "the best", but pretty damn good.
>>30556165
>Still trying to convince yourself and everyone else that this isn't 100% retarded
>Implying 2 short blades > one long blade
>>30548287
yep, i can loctite mine to havve center and action just right, and had to have the edge bevel reground
knife was $190, it shouldnt have really had those problems
more annoying than anything, as the knife is a gem for me now, but i certainly take notice that if i order a BM it may be fucked up at any price point.
>>30553548
>Wave fucks up
>Open knife with Spyderhole, thumb stud, etc. instead
>>30544814
Holy shit thats awesome sorry for being a faggot
>>30547107
I think you mean SK-5
virtually identical steels from different manufacturers under different names.
>>30552841
It's got a hole for the crossguard stud and the grooves seem right so maybe.
What is it? It seems to be aftermarket but I can't find anything quite like it on Google.
>>30557046
No, I meant ATS-34 from Hitachi. SK-5 is a tool steel.
>ATS-34 - 1.05C,14Cr, 4Mo, .4Mn, .35Si
>154CM - 1.05C, 13.5Cr, 4Mo, .5Mn, .3-.8Si, 0-.4W, 0-.4V,
>>30554812
Shit happens. Also I really like your sharpfinger. I'll be buying an old American made one sometime.
>>30556985
i like the mini grip.this being my first benchmade im kind of dissapointed.i hear so much good about them yet this knife is pissing me off.i was considering sending it in for warranty but feel it wouldnt be worth the hassle.
>>30558203
>i was considering sending it in for warranty but feel it wouldnt be worth the hassle.
Dude screw that, you shouldn't get anything from BM and be remotely dissatisfied with it considering that a big chunk of the price of any BM is the butterfly on the blade.
I'd send that thing back for correction in a heartbeat.
