Mystery knife @5:25 is an Abraham and Moses AM-2. An offshoot of Geissele Automatics (trigger and rifle manufacturer), A&M is their foray into knifemaking. D2 steel, very durable design.

The awac, is a blackjack all weather all condition, knife. Also my first ever real knife. I lost it outdoors and found it 15 years later. It had been run over by a bush hog and disc many times. I sent it back to bark river. Mike Stewart started blackjack then bark river. I talked to him on the phone about the knife, he was great. They fixed it and sent it back with a new sheath, free of charge.

I love the Old Timer knife, made by Schrade. Here is what Wikipedia strates about Schrade: "In July 2004, the year the company celebrated its 100th anniversary, the factory in Ellenville was closed. The Schrade name was purchased by Taylor Brands LLC, who continue to manufacture products under the Schrade brand as well as Old Timer, Uncle Henry, Imperial & Smith & Wesson knives. Production is now in China." Sad, but a common enough tale.

I have 50 knives (folding and fixed), and I don't have any of those. Where's your Rambo knife? Get a Harbor Freight Gordon Survival Knife and you're good. I keep one in my truck -- sealed in the package, but I have to keep another knife just to open it. So I also keep an Ontario RAT II, Mora Pro-S, and a Walmart $5 fixed blade (who wants to have just one?). I carry a Victorinox Huntsman, which is the knife I use the most. You should get a Victorinox Ranger.

That knife that was your grandfather’s, I used to have the same one. Might even have been MY grandfather’s for all I know about it. Like the previous knife you showed in the collection, I was going through my old box of firecrackers and fireworks one day and there it was in the bottom. No idea where it came from, whose it was, but it was a nifty little Kabar skinner just like yours. Same sheath and everything. If I’d had the same memories associated with it, I might not have sold it, but here we are. Great collection, by the way, and very nicely presented!

Everyone always said I’d lose interest in knives once I got some guns, but that hasn’t happened even a little bit.

That and they’re fun to collect/play with/look at as art pieces, I just love knives!

@coreymerrill3257 Жыл бұрын

So people know , the difference between what we call Damascus steel now and real Damascus is quite extreme. What knife makers say is Damascus is actually pattern welded steel . Pieces of metal that are put into a sealed crucible with vents , a carbon source and a nitrogen( often these are the same material,like leaves from nitrogen fixing plants ) source to prevent heat oxidation. The crucible is heated until dull cherry red and then it's pounded into a homogeneous bar . The crucible is ground off and a blade is made , then dipped in acid to show the layers . Often layed out In a decorative pattern . Damascus steel requires wootz iron ore, available from only one location in Turkey . It is made into a crucible steel, with specific methods to get a specific result. When done correctly, it ends with a very tough high carbon steel with natural layering from iron carbides that formed in the steel from process. No layering needed,no acid wash needed . The carbides are super hard , the edge once sharpened stays sharp from them. Carbides are metalic-ceramic compounds that tend to form as microscopic beads ,but not always. If anyone is interested,I can give links to both an academic paper and video on the eventual reproduction of true Damascus steel which was a lost technology for a very long time.

Those "clothes rippers" help out when you are searching Haji and need to cut his dress off. Haji has a tendency to tence up when you reach for him with your knife and it can get ugly. W/ the ripper his dress just falls away and he doesn't know anything except he just got caught concealing whatever (usually porn the local government would execute him for having).

It's surprising how sharp some edges could be are according to case ,some can actually shave your forearm hairs but these cuts your budget more as well lol I remember a one with a c shaped handle & a short blade but YIKES it can shave only it's blade size made it less risky. It was probably 4 inches total roughly.. I remember someone said that it was"no good for defense" ...but the scratch (I say ) it was expensive for it's length and all and shaved my forearm...
