AZ Dean Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Nice. Work knives > display knives Agreed. I can't bring myself to spend money on something that I won't use because it is too pretty. Now, I have some knives that are better suited to hard duty than others. My Gerber LMF is my beat-on knife, and shows it. Some of these pretty carbon fiber ZTs, I am not likely to beat on.
blue109 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 I have a $300 ZT bayonet that I love to jab into things. It does damaged watermelons and pumpkins well :P
unforgiven Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 I love me some cold steel.Found the brother to my 7" Houge,got the 5" Houge coming from DVOR. ^-^

Oh if I had the money I'd be buying all sorts of "display" stuff and using it daily, starting with collectible firearms and classic cars. It was my $2.8 million dollars...I'll do donuts in my '71 'Cuda if I want.
unforgiven Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 It was my $2.8 million dollars...I'll do donuts in my 68' Charger R/T if I want. Fixed it for ya brother.
planeflyer21 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Don't you mean "Orange '68 Charger with the Dixie flag up top!"?

Frankh252 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 They said it's Damascus steel with nearly 2000 folds but it's also Made in Japan. Looks like Damascus and is hard n sharp.
Toolndie7 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Picked up another Emerson around Christmas and have been carrying it everyday, I really like this one so far. Of course I took emersons idea and made my own thumb button from a REAL 45 case, can you believe they wanted like $75 for a fake 45 thumb button with no primer lol Edited March 7, 2016 by Toolndie7

It's hands down my most favorite knife and is an integral part of my EDC. You're casing idea is perfect. I don't know why I didn't try that myself. I like this look.... I wonder if I could do an original .45 LC brass. I feel a challenge in my future. You did an awesome job there.

You did an awesome job there.thats the CQC-15I had to grind like .010 off the inside of the slot in the blade, but its definitely do-able.
Robocop1051 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Posted March 8, 2016 I used to have the Commander, and I love my CQC15 so much more.
82HALO Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 Had 2 Randall's I got back in the mid 70's, and carried them always! There was no writing on my blades either. Spoke to him when I ordered them on the phone, great guy. I believe it is his grandson who has the business now. Sold mine just before I got out, sure wise I didn't now!
unforgiven Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 $hit brother Randall's are on my must have list.What models did you have??
shepp Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 I want to buy a switch blade, but I can't see spending 4-500$ on a knife when I could buy a pistol for that. I would like a retractable blade style. Anythoughts?
82HALO Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 $hit brother Randall's are on my must have list.What models did you have??i had a model 1 and 14, both with the micarta(spelling?) handles.
82HALO Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 I have a really old switch blade my father gave me to use when I was in the boy scouts. Had to keep it low profile illegal in PA, probably still is! Carried it as my pocket knife in the army too! I'll have to look for it and snap a picture, still have it somewhere!
unforgiven Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 i had a model 1 and 14, both with the micarta(spelling?) handles.Both of which I would chose.Outfukinstanding brother.
82HALO Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah, young and dumb, sold em, now I could kick myself in the ass!
unforgiven Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 If I had a nickel for all the stupid $hit did I'd been retired long ago.The saying "youth is wasted on the young comes to mind".Hahaha
