The Great Knife Picture Thread

[MultiMat]

We have such a terrific 'Great Multitool picture thread ', I reckon we need one for knives  . Let me get it started with my most humble Gerber Harsey Air Ranger , a knife I got simply cause I thought it looked tops  .









 

Come on guys show as your favourite knives in a 'Great' photo 
Gadget Guy zero ground blade pics please 

[Sazabi]

That's a nice looking Gerber, Mat; do you like it?  Good quality?  Etc?

[MultiMat]

It is a nice looking knife isn't Saza  , but it is a $35us knife so I do not think it is a Top Quality knife  .
It does not have a super steel blade(the box says 'surgical steel'  ), out of the box it shaves hair  . The balance of the knife feels a little out , the handle end feels too light with the blade deployed. I find it a lot more comfortable to hold/use than my Kershaw Leek.
I have not had it long , but look forward to seeing how it goes & how well it hangs on to it's edge.
 

[Benner]

We do already have the "show us your folders" and "show us your fixed blades" threads.  Always like seeing some knives though.

[Freudian Frog]

Well, Benner... this is for great ones.

Beating the Leek's ergonomics is... pretty easy isn't it?

Yeah, that's what I think, too, on the Leek; granted, the Scallion also suffers a bit from being too thin; having long, thin fingers means I need a bit of mass - not just the pocket clip - to grip onto whenever I deploy a flipper.  At least the Scallion is better in that regard, though. :/

One of my favorite little knives.

David that looks like a very nice Spydie 
I am trying most hard to stay away from the Spyderco, Benchmade & other quality folders. For budgeting reasons

Yip its easy to spend alot on knives. Heres another CoPilot with teeth.       

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Gotta love the Co-Pilot

[Neil]

Let's resurrect this thread with some BAKs...

[jzmtl]

the box says 'surgical steel' 
 

That means you are suppose to throw it away after 1st use, just like they do with surgical blades.

Testing

Don't know if this will work for others 

[ryan1835]

we need a password to see it tony

[Sparky415]

think I need to look in to this a bit more  


brb  

Try it now Mate 

[ryan1835]

all it needs now is a wooden handle but you knew that 

[Sparky415]

I would like to but Health and Safety won't let me

It's a fire hazard you see 

[ryan1835]

oh but the heat shrinks against health and safety too, didnt you know the people who have to ban stuff for a living deemed it too useful?

[MultiMat]

Yikes Neil did you get  BP to help dig up this old thread 

Ok Bee man I see your BAK's  & raise you with some AAK's (Aussie Army Knives) 





Sparky I reckon if you changed you shrink wrapped handle to black it would look more than OK 
BTW is that flesh I see on that belt sander 

[jzmtl]

Why would ARMY knife all have marlin spikes on them? 

[MultiMat]

Well Aussie soldiers have been known to call them 'pig stickers'  .

Not sure if it is part of the knife's original heritage as a maritime knife & the spikes use with rope/knots  .
I have read the marlin spike was good for cleaning mud from soldiers boots. I guess it was used as an oversized awl   

[Sparky415]

  it worked!
Who says you can't teach an old git new tricks?





Hope these are ok in here 

[DaveK]

They look great Tony

[Sparky415]

Thanks Dave!
 I find it hard to get good pictures of shiny stuff (I tend to take a lot then bin most of them) but I'm very happy with these pictures 

Mat there is some Micarta on the way but that will have to wait until its been tempered 

[Neil]

How you going about tempering? DIY or elsewhere?

[Sparky415]

I have a simple but cunning plan Mr Blackadder

Looks like Sparky is taking finger burning up a notch or two & going Pro 

[Neil]

He's a nice chap ... but really quite scary 

[Sparky415]

In a good way?  

Sharp little bugger!
