Any fellow knife collectors out there?

[Thejoyofdriving]

I have been collecting knives occasionally for about 1/2 of my life now, I got my very first real knife when I was around 9- 10 years old, it was a 6" fixed blade Buck nighthawk. I still have it today. And i still think its a great knife. Ever since then i have been picking up knives here and there. My collection of the top of my head is something like this:

Buck nighthawk
Gerber LMF II ASEK
a Colt collectors knife
I have a lot more but these are the major ones.

Soon I plan on getting a knife from Coldsteel I am thinking about the Recon 1 plain tanto point, I hate serrated as they are a b!tch to sharpen. Are there any other knife guys out there?

Thats funny you say that, knifes are every where, i the kitchen for example, I could just get a knife from there if I wanted....its not that big of a deal....plus the ones in the kitchen are a lot bigger.......I hate when people are like OMG a knife....aaaahhhhhh...... a little kid with a knife. Its not that big of a deal, if learned to be used correctly, its a useful tool. I always carry at least my little red swiss knife with me. Im the MANA rule I always follow, is, keep a knife and a flashlight with you at all times...

And im sure any 9 year old kid can get ahold of the parents car keys pretty easily too. Just because you can, doesnt mean you should.....

True....but its better to learn at a young age how to use a knife and a gun, so that later on in life they dont do the"oh looky a gun, hehehhahah..bang...ooppss..." I guess it might be hard to understand, each family is different, in some familys a knife at 9 is crazy, in others, like mine its not. I was a pretty responsible little guy back then.....times have changed

Not really a collector but I own many knives, worth more to me for sentimental reasons than $ values. I've been carrying a pocket knife since I was 5 years old. "Back in the day..." almost every boy in my class at school carried one, we never really even thought of them as "weapons" but as tools, often a teacher asked me if they could borrow my knife...

I'm currently carrying a Buck single locking blade pocket knife...

I have my grandfather's old 3 blade buck, several Case brand knives that I've been given on various occasions, a former USSR military pocket knife my sister brought back from a student exchange program, and lots of cheapos that mean something to only me.

I have a collection of swords. I only get them out when my neighbors complain about the noise from my rotary early in the morning.

Cool!!!

makdaddy-I know what you mean, sometimes its the cheap things that you care about the most.

I was wondering...What type of locking mechanism do you guys prefer? I hate the traditional cross lock, it fails the most out of the the other mechanisms i have seen, I like the lockback mechanism because I think it is one of the simplest and strongest, although I feel it is harder to close one handed. The Coldsteel Recon 1's
Has a similar system to a lockback "[FONT=arial, helvetica]To compliment their super tough blades and handles, they each feature our revolutionary Ultra Lock™, which practically precludes lock failure." [/FONT]cant wait to get my hands on a recon 1 tanto plain!!!!! Its 120$ but its worth the money! I think the locking mechanism can stand up to around 200lbs of weight hanging of the back of the handle, I saw a video where the "ultra lock" on the recon 1 held up the weight of a 200+ man swinging on it!

50 Caliber is a tank .... but it was fun to take it to the range (we have an outside range called Markam Park) with friends. Everybody would man handle like Tomb Raider until they fired it ONCE. More than several sore arms, just trying to hold that puppy locked in two arm stance.
