btw, those are both Paul Chen katanas. The taller one is the Wind and Thunder katana and the other is the Practical Plus. The long Kabar with the brown handle is the kabar Parangatang. It is awesome for chopping shrubs and small woods. Took out 6' x 12' of tall oleanders in about 20 minutes. The tint in the photos is T6VN. lol
Paul Chen you have incredible taste my friend. He's a true artist. Kabar is another great choice!! and all who own knives and swords know how a parangatang can be your best friend!!

These were close by so I took a quick pic for you. Many more to come. Besides CPF is a knife originated forum:)

Very nice OG. Which katana and tonto are those? Picked up the parangatang for 59 at knifecenter. It really is a force, especially for the price. That other kukri style Kabar pictured can't really compete with the parangatang imo.

lol, ok, lol. That's right though. Those were some nice pictures. BTW W21, which was the Wanderlei Silva epic fight you were talking about? I was going to go look for that one.


#2121

Probably the Wand vs. Rampage II fight from the poster. They had a trilogy of epicness and they all ended brutally.

If you're interested you might also want to check out some of Wand's other legendary bouts, like with Sakuraba, Mirko Cro Cop, Ironhead Fujita.... tell ya what let me grab some links to make it easier. I'll edit this post in a bit. Might take a few minutes though cause I'll probably get caught up watching them again. :)

This is Wand's final fight: Wand vs. Brian Stann (UFC Mar/03/2013)

Shortened (musical highlight) version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hoaa36dvidY Recommended R :)

The Wand vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson trilogy... the beginning: (PrideFC Nov/09/2003 Tokyo)

https://vimeo.com/108900744

Wand vs. Jackson II (PrideFC Oct/31/2004 Saitama) The UFC bought Pride and they pull down links all the time so for this one just watch GHOST. It's a cool highlight vid which chronicles the events leading up to - and after - the Wand vs. Chuck Liddell fight from the winter of 2007 (biggest MMA fight ever). The video shows highlights of Wand/Jackson II throughout, and finishes the vid from the 2:33 mark on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf9HfvCr2Ds

Wand vs. Sakuraba I ("Saku" was/is Japan's all-time greatest MMA fighter... PrideFC Mar/25/2001 Saitama)

Wand vs. Sakuraba II (PrideFC Nov/03/2001 Toyko)

Wand vs. Sakuraba III (PrideFC Aug/10/2003 Saitama)

Wand vs. Cung Le (UFC Nov/19/2011)

This is hardly the tip of the iceberg but it's late and grandma is getting tired. :)

Not much of a "Collection", but it's the Huntin' gear that I use.
It all depends on the game and terrain. These have served me very well for years.

1960 Marlin 336 .30-.30 with raised scope mounts. Iron sights still useful.
1964 Remington 725 .270
Miroku made Charles Daily Over/Under

Have given away several knives and couldn't round up a couple of knives and a couple mult-tools for the picture, but here's my sharpies...

Nice[emoji106]🏿

I'm sure I'll get into knives one of these days ;)

I have 2 Swiss army's (a mini and a larger alox one w screwdriver) an Opinel #8 and some kind of not too terrible Chinese multi-tool thingy.

The mini Swiss has been tough to beat honestly and gets the most use and carry.

Don't get into knives!!! I got out and and I am so relieved :)
They are all no nice and such high quality that you feel bad cutting anything.
At least with a light you can shine it on a white wall and then put it back on the shelve. LOL
