Keeper, Gifter, Destroyer

[Emre]

Looks like my post broke this thread LOL

 

[Petunia D. Feeble]

Keep the Spartan. Never heard of it, but it looks good

Gift the CRK. It has good name recognition, so the recipient is more likely to appreciate it's value

Destroy the Benchmade. If they can't bother to put some scales on it, then I'm not interested.

Next up...

OPINEL MODEL 13

SPYDERCO ENDURA

SPYDERCO BUG

Keep the Opi 13, so I can pretend to be Conan the Frenchbarian.

Gift the Endura. Lucky bastard.

Trash the bug. Cuz it's a bug.

Next round: XL Cold Steels

Rajah II(my favorite)

Recon XL

Non-Bolstered Espada XL

Personally, I'd love to have all 3. They're silly and awesome.

 

[Rival1314]

Keep: Rajah 2 - who doesnt love a folding machete?!
Gift: Espada XL - wow factor
Trash: recon XL - least interesting of the 3

The next guy has to decide between a Northwoods Fremont Jack in blue camel bone, a Toms Choice 15 Barlow in ebony, and a GEC 13 whittler in micarta

 

[WValtakis]

Keep the 13 whittler, 'cause I love whittlers.

Okay for the next one, Opinel 8 in carbon, Victorinox Tinker, and Kershaw Starter

 

[Sigsog226]

Id keep the vic-currently dont have one.

Gift the opinal-fun knife and even non knife people respect them.

Destroy the kershaw-that one isn't my cup of tea.

Next is themed with zt collaborators customs.
A Sinkevich Coordinal, Rexford Singularity, George Harpy.

(images not mine)

 

[BTGuy]

Tough choices. I'd keep the Rexford, give away the Sinkevich, and destroy the George.

How about some plain ones.....
- ZT 0562
- Benchmade 940
- Spyderco PM2


Edit: Just read through the other posts and realized my 3 picks are not the most original.

 

[sharp_edge]

This one is tough. I will keep the zt0562 as it is one of the best ZTs, gift the PM2, and trash the BM 940.

Next up (from my collection):
- Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Bowie
- Reate Horizon D CF/TI
- ZT 0561 newest generation

 

[TortugaNH]

Gift the Hinderer to someone who would appreciate it more than me.
Keep the Reate. I'm digging that blade.
Destroy the ZT because it lost out to the other two.

Let's go old-school:

Vintage Fairbairn-Sykes


WW1 Military Kukri


WW1 US Trench Knife

 

[GotSteel]

ITT: A lot of Benchmades being destroyed, let's have one w/only bm options
Keep the Kuk, gift the trench, destroy the Fairbairn

Bedlam

Valet

AFCK

 

[shinyedges]

keep the afck, gift the bedlam, destroy the valet.

I propose:

Cold steel 4max
Andrew demko ad15
Jarbenza

 

[shinyedges]

Great thread ted!

 

[T. Erdelyi]

I get a good idea on occasion

I'd Gift the Jarbenza, Jarbenzas should always be gifted.

Keep the Demko, that's a cool lookin' knife, I'd like to play around with it.

Trash the Cold Steel Because they're always trashin' Lynn Thompson.

How about 1 pattern, old new and military version of the same pattern

Vintage Ulster Scout knife

Victorinox Scout Knife

US Army Scout/Utility knife.

 

[Sigsog226]

Keep the Ulster- i can appreciate old knives
Gift the Vic-would be appreciated the most i would think/nicest f&f
Trash the surplus one-plenty more out there

Next is full size mt's (they have knife blades on them)
Leatherman Wave
Sog Powerlock
Victorinox Spirit

 

[ThePeacent]

Leatherman Wave
Sog Powerlock
Victorinox Spirit

keep the Spirit, it's just the best

gift the Wave, has all you need and is very friendly to most users, new or old, and excellent warranty

the SOG is not bad but doesn't compare to the other two, only in pliers-strength with the compound leverage. I like my SOG PL but modded it because most internal tools were crappy

NEXT:

Spyderco Tasman
Cold Steel Mini Lawman
Mini Grip

 

[Therom]

Keep the mini grip, it is a real EDC
Give the spyderco
Trash the lawman, definitively opposed to their marketing strategy
