New Knives - What have you bought recently?

[Barth]

I think I already posted these pictures.
But WTH.
Two new knives.
First - an un-issued Bulgarian Circle (10) bayonet.
Second - Cold Steel Recon Tanto VG-1 San Mai III.

This Spyderco Native is the most recent. It's become my EDC.

I picked up this ole Cavalry sword replica at a swap meet last weekend. Only paid 60 bucks for it, guy had another one I might go back and get. Its good quality it turns out for a replica. Seen exact same real ones for 800 to 1000 and up. My side of the tracks I can live with a replica. The steel sheath was a little rusty and dirty but it cleaned up nice. Blade was perfect, no rust or anything at all. I was happy.




Got this little guy at the gunshow last month to go with my daily carry bawanna bowie. It was so cute, only about 4" long, I had to have it.
Made a kydex sheath, wear it as a neck knife now and then when I'm not wearing the little hunters scalpel Greg sent me long ago. Sharpest little knife I ever had that little thing.

I didn't buy anything, but a friend of mine made me a folding pocket knife. What makes the knife special is that my name is engraved on one side of the brass handle and a picture of my ship and it's name are engraved on the other. U.S.S. Nitro AE-23. Some day I've got to learn how to post pictures. You guys have no idea how devastatingly handsome I am.

I think that might break the internet......

I had a CS Mini Tanto SanMai III.... sharpest little knife I ever had. Held an edge like gangbusters. An ex GF was shaving the pills of fuzz off her jeans once in my NEW truck. I told her BE CAREFUL!!!! Wasn't thinking, went over the RR tracks, and she'd put a four inch gash in her leg. Straight to the hospital. Had to do a bit of explaining, but she'd saved up the little blue fuzzballs (so not to let 'em loose in the new truck), and by the end of it the cop and Dr were both just giving the "dumb ass!" face to both of us, and... I got the knife back, via Occifer Friendly depositing it into the glove box of my truck, and locking it (after making sure I had the key). He was doin' his job, not biggie really.

Edit - so I can say dumb and ass, but can't say dumb@ss without it being censored? What the ****?

I EDC a Spyderco Domino or Snap On/CRKT Wrinkle. Both are great but really want to look into a fixed blade next

I like folders

This Spyderco Native is the most recent. It's become my EDC.

My 1st Native was stolen from my truck by a mechanic during a "test" drive after a repair, and the replacement I bought cost 3x$ as the stolen knife I had bought at Walmart.
I like Kershaw's folders for edc, because of the way they open(watch the vids at amazon), don't have a stud, and have rounder profile/not slab sided.
Flat knives feel like a tongue depressor in my hand.
Almost too big for pocket carry

Kershaw sells some imports if you are on a budget, this one is "sweet":

And this Benchmade mini griptilian, no stud, just a hole:

Some inexpensive pieces I've acquired of late:

Found this at an estate sale, in a tub of knives marked "$2 ea."
No markings on the knife, but the craftsmanship is top shelf.




Ganzo G720, $20.95 with free 2 day shipping from Amazon Prime. Well made, big, hefty knife. There's a guy on YouTube that uses his to baton some firewood: not something I'd want to do with a folder, but good to see it held up to it.



I found this one while out for a walk. The blade is nothing special, but the pliers work well for removing cholla spines from dogs and humans



Regards,
Greg

Some good finds Greg. That's a lot of knife for 2 bucks.

Thanks Boss, good to read that you are still liking that little scalpel

I guess you can't say what the **** either.

Nice, an unusual pattern on that $2 knife
I think Ganzo makes/supplies knives for American knife makers that offer/sell imports too.
I think Benchmade used to sell imports from Ganzo, with some currently sold Ganzo's looking like copies of Benchmade models.
