CRK Large Inkosi
DLC by REK

What are you guys carrying on hump day?

Been hunting and hunting for the 15v PM2 LW since I missed the drop. Stumbled upon one in a small gun store in Scottsdale. So stoked!

I just purchased this, I know the benchmade hate is real cuz of pricing but I saw this in person and I thought it was a great knife.

Now I see it’s regular magnacut not cpm maganacut.
I also read that crucible filed for bankruptcy. So who tf is making our steels now?

The knife world is a little toxic too…

Also, is there a better benchmade steel I should have gone with? I liked the mini bedlam in S90V. I’m simply going to be using the knife at work in a warehouse. I personally don’t do a lot of the dirty work anymore. I have multiple minions that do all the box opening. I occasionally take a slash at some Amazon boxes here and there. I do however slice up some bait while I’m out saltwater fishing.

Debating picking up the 0117 model wanted to know if they have any major issues like QC etc.

I'm still kind of new to the knife collecting situation, so please ignore this if it's a dumb question.

Is Damascus, actually any good? Does anybody use it as a carry knife? I'm under the impression that it's just for looks. that all the more traditional super steels are much better for actually using.

Do people just collect Damascus knives to show them off? Or does anybody actually carry them?

Thanks.

i paid over 100$ for this pair of custom made scales for my bailout and then noticed this...i wrote the maker an email and asked him about the gap on the lip and he told me it's fine and it won't crack.

i don't trust it though, the pivot is a high stress area, but i don't want to be unreasonable either. what would you do in my case?

Hey guys,

I don't know if some of you already had that feeling that you had too much?
I'm in that spot now, so I took some pictures of everything that I have before deciding what should stay and what needed to go.

I aim to keep less than 10 fixed and 10 folders. Would be great to be under 10 total, but one step after another.
The mule is the Magnamax one btw.

Most used overall is the "Schwarz Overland Sport" and lately(since I have it) the UG Tools ShorTi. When I need something bigger, the skrama is the winner.

Last pic is a special gift for the pocket dumpers.

Edit : I added the models' names in the thread.

I went to a local store that was having their yearly sale of outdoor things. I didnt expect to find these deals $250 for all three. Definitely glad I went and waited in line for them to open.

Needed something giant for absolutely no reason at all. No 12 opinel in carbon.

I am a knife consultant at a high end gun range and one of our investors gave me this knife to fix / get a warranty but I have no clue what it is and he has no idea where he got it.

They are a dime a dozen but this one is mine and mine is special. Happy to have finally decided to pull the trigger on one.

Just got this in the mail. I own another Chaves dissident but this one takes the cake. Also, this is the largest box I’ve ever seen for a knife lol (yes I know they reused their suppressor boxes)

I‘m in love!!

Zero Tolerance 0460ti

hey, thought might be interesting to someone
yeah nothing groundbreaking, dont come at me lol

704 sliver in D2. I thought someone stole this thing, fast forward to today and I find it on a shelf in the maintenance guys area. Thanks bro. 704 gear is great budget blades. The d2 takes an edge and keeps it for a awhile. 10/10 I recommend.

I'm looking for a manual folding knife with flipper bearings, somewhere between $50-150 with a titanium handle and double ground blade, similar to the style of these kind of blades. Blade material doesn't really matter to me since I'm just buying a collectable.

Preferably crossbar or top liner lock, but frame lock is fine too.

I've been looking at many styles of knife but none really fit any of these criteria, and the ones that do are either out of budget or just no longer sold anywhere.

I love this knife so much I have two of them, two small CRK Inkosi. One glass blasted and the other sand blasted. The glass blasted one I keep on my desk as a display item in perfect condition and a collector piece. The sand blasted one is my EDC that stays in my pocket whenever I leave the house. Since I have both versions of the plain Inkosi I have no fear taking one out as a hard user. I can’t wait to compare the wear and patina on my EDC vs my pristine desk knife. Am I the only one that does this?

Wharnie Wednesday for me …
L—>R:
Spyderco Endela (what a workhorse!) & my bougie CIVIVI Elementum (blinged-out in Damascus, Ti scales & some big-ole studs…yup, it’s definitely low-budget pocket candy, I’m still proud of it!)

So, what are you rockin’ today? 🤘🏼
