Everyone's latest acquisitions!

The one on top has been my EDC in the woods since Christmas!

 

This is my Bushcraft knife selection, hunting, or?.... Large knife was made by blacksmith by my specs, and the bowie was made by IMPA. Both sheaths are my designs, combination of crossdraw and normal carry options. I made sheats alone. Never, before in my life saw anything. It was made, from old military leather case. I did not have tools, just an idea, which I could not explain to the pros....sort of idea! Well, if you like it, get inspired for your stuff... I was struggling, for a security lace, and still I do not have a slight idea how to secure a knife, to make sense......all holes, that look straight and inline, are from that case, as i use it...all other holes, out of order are mine,,a small leather pouches are from ww1 od ww2 ammunition holsters..note, they can be added to sheat, without modification, for flint etc....

 

Nice informative pictures bgdlive. How does it cut? I like those old map cases.

 

I bought one knife between June '18 and Christmas--a Massdrop Keen that I liked ok but ended up selling a couple weeks back as I found it kinda meh. (No offense to the many Keen enthusiasts--it just wasn't for me.)

Anyway, last week I found a full-sized Crooked River on the Exchange, LNIB, at a great price. I've wanted one for quite a while and pulled the trigger quickly. Not disappointed at all--just a great, large, super-duty knife!

 

The new one is on top. The old one has been modified. They both have S-110-V blades.

 

Finally bought more sharpening things. Recent buys: Spyderco Double Stuff (Medium/ Fine), Spyderco Ultrafine Benchstone & Shapton GlassStone 16,000 grit

Got these today!

My first love...The Sebenza if fresh back from CRKs Spa Treatment and looks brand new!

 

That's a stellar dye job. Did that model come with blue accents? I thought about doing this to the Civivi Baklash, which comes in a tan with blue accents.

 

Today's grab from a local pawn shop:

 

Picked up a blacked out Bugout "Black & Tan" from Smokey Mountain Knifeworks.

 

I've been fairly slow in buying knives the past couple years. Maybe 1 every month or two. Not this year. I bought the green Case stockman last year as a Christmas present to myself, along with a small stag stockman for my sister. I've enjoyed my one or two traditionals but that one really opened much eyes to them.

Then this happened.

 

I have just got a Cold Steel PROlite
It is my first Cold Steel.
I have taken this one to try the tri-ad lock and to have some fun with a tanto blade which is usually not favorite blade shape

For the price, my first impression is very positive

 

Just got this Bestech Small Emperor off Massdrop. It gets an A+ on the Fit and Finish, Flipps nice, Drops shut, And was razor sharp out of the box. My first Bestech and it won't be my last.

 

Bailey Model 3

 

Was starting to get a bit nervous about the Canadian import ban on folders, so I bought a few more just in case.
