shmook Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 New toys!  A couple of rough rider knives. Chinese, cheap, but the brand has a fairly decent reputation, and I had one of their folding knives which was fine. But I lost it...  Anyway, paid just over £20 for both of these, delivered from heinnie Haynes!   Will use this as a food prep knife when camping.  Full tang hunter for pennies? Don't mind if I do!   Now, I've wanted a becker BK7 for ages, but never had the funds or could justify the price. This came up on another forum second hand, so I pounced. Came dull as a spoon, but I soon sorted that   It's an absolute beast and I love it like my own child!  Last one, one I made. First try, and no forge, so I hacked an old meat cleaver up and had a play. It was a *badgeress*. There are several flaws, but it was a learning curve and I'm actually quite pleased.  From this   To this   As I don't have a belt grinder, bevels were cut in by hand. It was a complete twat due to trying to keep the temper. Hours of work on a stone, as a file wouldn't cut it.  Also, don't buy faithful brand files, they are *suitcase*.  Anyway, enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Nice, you wouldn't believe what builders got their start like that. Keep at it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I've seen quite a few DIY knives that started life as files. Always been tempted but I have no idea how many hours you need to throw at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 I'd love to start with files, but again, no forge means no annealing so you can work them, and then re-temper it again afterwards. Â I'll get round to building me one. One day! Â Will treat myself to a belt sander too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I really should photograph my knife collection one of these days. Couple 'use knives', plenty of pretty tat to show off if I ever had someone ask 'what do you do for hobby?' (Not in job interview, though, that could get me a -lot- of "bye, we won't call you".) And few knives in the middle of the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 You can make a small propane forge without too much hassle. It'll give you better heat control than a coal fire also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's something I'll look into when I get some spare time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 >.> I've been carrying a Spyderco ParaMil2 in Blurple, ZT620, and a ESEE Izula 2 on me most days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Ok we're back to life! Got my first PM2; a Blade HQ special. M4 steel and translucent G-10. Â Also have had a little side foray into traditional knives with some GEC beer scouts. Also had a Manix 2 XL with glow scales come in the door. Â Have a Massdrop Dragonfly on the way and a GEC #85 SFO with Micarta scales. Â Photos pending! Â Â Â Â Edited October 18, 2016 by Danke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Nice! Â Is that an EDC forums manix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I really need a raise so I can buy something from Matt Helm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Nice! Â Is that an EDC forums manix? It is. Super nice knife. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 It looks it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I almost got on that Massdrop Dragonfly deal, but decided if I wanted another Spyderco in that price range I'd either go get a ClipIt with the bottle opener or a DK pen knife. I've been also eyeing a Swick and Tuff....but they're so expensive now that they're discontinued.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well they probably won't do a Swick or Tuff spring so the value should keep creeping up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I've seen auctions for both starting at like 300 for the Swick and 600 for the Tuff... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
