I thought it was the Mountaineer that you liked?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #211 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:21:40 PM

I thought it was too.. I called up KTP today, and my buddy told me it was a Shadow III. They look veeeeery similar..

Benner · **Reply #212 on:** March 08, 2009, 11:22:32 PM

Both look damn nice.

I know! It felt SO solid.. I was watching a "Knife Destruction" vid on Youtube and the CRK Project I and Green Beret both were terrible choppers though.. They were excellent wood splitters though.. I really like how the knife is one piece of steel though; that's sweet!

Great thread! You guys have excellent taste in blades. I finally had a chance to snap some pictures of my "Outdoor" fixed blades. Sorry about the terrible lighting

That fixed Grip is a nice looking knife. How well do you rate it?

The Fixed Grip is a great knife. The rubber inserts get nice and grippy when they get wet and I'm a big fan of 154CM steel. The sheath is not the most comfortable though. I really like leather sheaths for my fixed blades so I may be biased, but it is serviceable and does its job.

The Koster knife is the real winner though. If anyone has a chance to pick one up I cannot recommend it enough. In fact he's doing a run this year and I've already sent him a deposit. Looks like I'll have two of them pretty soon

Do those Koster knives come in carbon steel? Every time I see one in a thread it catches my eye..especially that cool sheath.

CPM3V is not a stainless steel, it is a carbon tool steel. He also makes them in stainless - 154CM.

Here is a graph from crucible as you can see CPM3V is bomb proof.

Interesting graph that.

Benchmade Rukus #610 - currently on eBay

In the chaos of eBay UK chucking off knives yesterday I saw this...

(image swiped from kydex-maker.co.uk hope they don't mind as they're getting a link

)

It had a make me an offer option on the buy it now so I did and won it. Credit to the seller, it arrived this morning

My first custom fixed blade is a modified Benchmade 190 Hunter. Got to love those orange G10 scales

Not my photo, this is the one used on the auction.

You'll have to bring that to the meet mate

That sure looks nice.

You'll have to make Benner wear a drool bib before you let him handle it at the Meet...

I get over excited very easily.

Here is one I had kind of forgotten about. It was my first attempt to get a "bushcraft" type knife. It's by Cudemans and it is surprisingly good for the money at around £35. I did a real number on it while I was learning to sharpen but it actually takes a really good edge. The sheath is a work of horror though.

That really has got nice lines to it

Spork, Lord of Lime Jello! · **Reply #233 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:16:03 PM

That's not a bad looking knife...is there a model number or name to it?

Gareth · **Reply #234 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:49:15 PM

I had to go check on that. Looks like it is a Cudeman 153L. Looking at the site I got it from it's even cheaper than I remember at about £25.

There doesn't seem to be anyone importing it into the US.

The majority of the sellers I can find are in the UK. This Olivewood version is nice looking - Knifeman

Is that the Cold Steel one? If so what's the quality like?
