Remember that Waco Biker gang shootout? These are their knives..

[StryCoShaw]

Just thought it was interesting to see what biker gangs carried. Some quality cutlery...BudK makes a killing off these dudes. And one guy even decided a Batman Batarang was the best choice for edc
Do you recognize any of these knives?

 

[jill jackson]

Saved them money for meth?

 

[chiral.grolim]

There are a number of recognizable knives in that collection, including the CS Recon 1 at the top of the first pic. Lots of BudK but also Boker, Kershaw, Buck, Gerber, there's even a Spyderco and a "Knives of Alaska" in there.

 

[jill jackson]

The only one I know is the Sharp Finger, next to the Bat Knife. And it's probably a knockoff.

 

[jill jackson]

I don't think it's a real Spyderco.

 

[Comeuppance]

I spy a Smith and Wesson HRT boot dagger and what looks to be a SOG fielder.

It makes sense to use cheap knives if you think you might be unlawfully using them - chances are that you only need them to be sharp once and then you discard the evidence.

A biker gang member carrying a Sebenza is one you needn't be afraid of.

 

[jill jackson]

It's a fake Spyderco, it looks like a Citadel but a Citadel doesn't have the smooth raised middle.

 

[retzius]

you really can't go wrong with a blue batarang

 

[Rasco]

Spyderco Bill Moran bowie....???
Or reasonable facsimile?

 

[retzius]

I expected to see the "Cobra" knife in there... it is a biker gang after all...

 

[tltt]

There's an expensive Western 701, a Spyderco Moran, Buck Omni, the ever popular Schrade Sharpfinger, the mid sized yellow one is a Moore Maker, Kershaw Amphibian, etc....

It's actually a good ensemble of regular folks cutlery.

Spyderco Bill Moran

That's the one I was indicating.

 

[jill jackson]

I wouldn't want to bet any of them are the real deal.

Why spend a lot of money of a knife you are going to use and toss?

 

[wazu013]

What ever happened to the Buck 110 with a side order of ball peen hammer?

 

[jill jackson]

Why spend a lot of money on a knife when you can have meth instead? ¡

 

[MaximIsayev]

There's a S&W HRT dagger there (bottom left of second pic), I got one of those before I knew how crappy it was. Also, I see a Case Sodbuster in black in the first pic there.

 

[chiral.grolim]

... I see a Case Sodbuster in black in the first pic there.

Is it a Case? I wasn't sure, based on how much the tang sticks out, and there are so many makes of that design.

Interesting responses.

Seems to me that to assume that every biker uses drugs and carries a knife as a throw-away weapon is just as prejudicial as people assuming that ANYONE who carries a knife, or who is into knives is a possible criminal or serial killer.

Seems to me that there is enough prejudice in the world without adding to it.

I'm a biker, been riding for almost 30 years. I also carry knives. I don't use drugs. I don't even drink beer. And none of my knives are "throw-aways".

Not everyone can afford, or cares to buy, expensive knives. That doesn't make them criminals.

Why not?

Looks like any group of knives confiscated from any group of dudes to me. Some good, some bad. Meh, whatever floats their boat.

SYLB.
