Thanks, I could go on all day lol, shit I have knives I’ve never even taken pics of haha. Thats a beautiful integral hunter that Ben made up for me, the blade is roughly 4” on it, walnut handle with a hammered bronze pin and spacer.

Ever get a knife thats just so perfect and cool that it makes you laugh with joy? This one did it. It feels like it weighs 3oz due to the super thin forging and grind.

My motorcycle does that for me, I completely get it. Ben makes functional art, tools of beauty. Best part is he's young, much more to come!

Love the cpk's, them phil wilsons though..... I've unfortunetly never handled or used a PW, I've read they are amazing cutters.

Those PHIL Wilsons caught my eye also...among the best out there.

The wonderful thing about fixed blades is that you have way fewer things to stress about. No worries about lockup, lock failure, blade centering, pivot action, cleaning between the scales after a bit of fruit slips inside, drop shut, etc. If you get one from a quality brand like ESEE or Becker, you’re pretty much good to go unless the QC on your unit is bad. There’s something inherently elegant and satisfying with a single piece of steel with no moving parts.

For fixed blades, I usually alternate between a Mora Kansbol and Recon Tanto.

Is that a Marchand smatchet?

I have way more fixed blades than I need. I need to figure out what I really want to keep and offload the rest.

I seem to appreciate my fixed blades more than my folders. This Falkniven A1X, that I had flat ground and G-10 scales made is one of my favorites.
