Knife & Light pics.

[gstrand]

Man, you guys have some seriously seriously sick collections here. gstrand, that new Benchmade 950 looks pretty sweet. Benchmade and Spyderco are my two favorite production folding knives. Case and Queen are my favorite slipjoints. I only have about 3 custom knives ... need to get a few to my collection. I'll post some pix soon.

I would love to have some of the cool Sebenza's and Strykers, that level and true customs are too rich for my blood.

Case are fun ones. I have a few - love canoes and seahorses...





Have some Spyders as well...







...



Wait! Flashlight forum!!! While I am lacking in quantities, this one has quality.

[Monocrom]

.... hey - noob question. I have some blades up for trade over at Bladeforums. Would love to trade for lights. Is there a place here to list things like that?
Best,

Potterma does some nice work.

I agree, I only have a few customs. I have a Big Hand Scandi from Charles May (waiting for another one, but it takes about a year), a Kozuka from David Mosier, and two waiting from Kirby Lambert. I really want to get a William Henry Gentleman's knife, but they're usually in the upward of $1,000 (sexy as hell though). I still need to add a sebbie and bob terzuola to my collection.

Hey that Case Raindrop damascus canoe is awesome. I got it late last year and it's a sweet knife. For slippies, my favorite patterns are canoe, sowbellies, and large stockman. Slippies are easier to carry IMHO in an office environment. .. less people freak out about it when they see it.

I would love to have some of the cool Sebenza's and Strykers, that level and true customs are too rich for my blood.

Case are fun ones. I have a few - love canoes and seahorses...

Hopplehead, I'm still waiting for my AlTin Draco (with an spare AAA tube). You got some really neat EDC

I love this thread. It's like flashlight/knife porn for me.

[gstrand]

LOL... I usually have a "comfort blade" and a "sheeple blade" on... I have an HK14205 clipped today... and a Case canoe in the opposite pocket... I love the case damascus canoe - they are sweet, and at a price that doesn't make you feel guilty for using them. Affordable and really classy.

[gstrand]

Took a couple last night... enjoy.

[gstrand]

sorry, duplicated the post... just deleted the dupe.

[gstrand]

You know, there's no light in it, but I HAD to share this pic... monkeyed with it at lunch, think it turned out fairly cool.

[Chronos]

Jim is a happy boy. Yesterday my new XM-18 arrived!

- Orange G10
- Flipper
- Stonewashed Ti frame
- Matte finish blade (bead blasted? It is such a fine finish... But a different finish vs. the frame)

This is my third Hinderer, and second XM-18. The quality is still amazing, especially at the price. It fits so well in my hand. The blade opens so smoothly and effortlessly. Lock-up is perfect. So rugged, yet so refined at the same time. How do you do it Rick???

I now need to purchase the correct lanyard for it. Any suggestions? Also the Hinderer armorer's tool.

[schiesz]

Thats a nice one Jim! I've been looking for a 3" XM-18 for a long time, but it seems like they never come up for sale.

I always like the way the orange scales look on the XM-18's.

[Chronos]

Thanks schiesz!!

Hooplehead, I love that digi-cam SnG. I've never owned a digi-cam Strider (yet)

[HoopleHead]

Hooplehead, I love that digi-cam SnG. I've never owned a digi-cam Strider (yet)

yeah, it looks cool, but in the future id probably skip and go for tiger stripe. the digi-camo is printed on, so actually parts reflect/shine/glare at certain angles, and it doesnt really look like itll hold up over time. we shall see...

Another I took last night...

Nice pics Chronos! I've been on the lookout for an orange XM-18, no luck so far other than a $1000+ Gen2. One of these days I guess. I've got my orange G-10 Griptillian to tide me over now, but I'm still jonesing. Wilson Tactical makes a neon orange and black combo lanyard (sold at lighthound) that might work for you, or I have an orange and black lanyard made by Colby Knot and Tool from Moore Cutlery although they're out of that one now. Not sure if that's what you're looking for though.
