Does anyone else like/collect knives?

He won by making some kind of African blade. I think it was called a "hunga munga".

I remember this episode. That was one of the more challenging projects they gave on the show.

Be careful you don't hurt yourself with that. Looks dangerous.

You are off the chain, Spud. Totally outta control.

EDIT: I managed to find it on YouTube:

Jared's a nice guy / bad-ass. Love how he forges the thing in the garage

That's my favorite part of the show - when some person with a low-key garage set-up knocks it out of the park (definitely the case here).

My daughter has been working on fishing boats in Northern California for the last two years, harvesting Dungeness crab in season, and whatever else when Dungeness is not in season. Last year I asked her what tool would be most useful for her, and she asked for this knife - a Benchmade Mini Bugout. She is very happy with it.

Also, I have about 10 more just the same!

All you really need for the outdoors is a good old reliable KA-bar.

I really want one of these, but I can't get past the price of the thing:

I did get knife kits for me and my kids this christmas though: Sadly youngest one was not interested.

Very nice knife that is amazingly lightweight. Benchmade is pricey, but their customer service is top-notch.

Not a collector at all…in fact, this post reminded me that they were here!
They’ve been in my home for over 45 years.
The German Dress Dagger was brought home by my father after WWII. I won the bowie knife at a raffle, the other two were given to me by an Air Force MP.

 

[Scab Pickens]

My first knife was a switchblade comb (remember those? ).

I carried a classic Buck folding hunter on my belt for a few years during my young redneck days.

I grew up learning how to keep knives sharp. You need a sharp fillet knife to fry some crappies!

Anymore, I'm more into X-Acto knives or machinist related de-burring tools.

I thought somebody might be interested in this: Knife Center has a huge clearance sale on select Benchmade and Spyderco knives, plus a lot of other brands. Examples: a Spyderco Endura model with a 3.8"wharncliffe blade, and K390 steel, for 52% off regular price; and a Boker 2.75" frame lock flipper, for 55% off regular price.

Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade

I'm going to be using a utility knife this weekend to cut some stencils. I call it a utility knife.

I must admit that the knife I use most often is a good old box cutter. I must have half a dozen of the things...

 

[teleme01]

My favorite knife is the steak knife, I even use it to open the catfood

 

[Spud]

Best razor knife Olfa snap off trust me. Boxes are no match plus safety and precision.

Knife Center had a sale on Spyderco, and I couldn't resist this one: Salt 2, rust free even in salt water, plus it's very sharp, the opening/closing action is nice and smooth, and I like it's stealthy appearance. It's basically a Delica 4 with upgraded highly corrosion resistant blade steel, with a 2.9" blade length. If I ever go deep sea fishing this is the knife I'd take, and no worries about cutting up stuff in the kitchen with it.
