loriusgarrulus Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 As the gun collecting was so interesting I thought a thread on hunting and pocket knives (not kitchen knives) would be good. I have my dads old commando type knife from the war. A small horn handled two blade pocket knife. One multitool Swiss army pocket knife. One folding rosewood handle knife. Another commando type knife I swapped marbles for. A rosewood handled Sheffield steel fixed blade knife. A Gerber skinning knife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I love my knifes. Too many to name each but these are the ones that get used and are not just collecting dust.

norfolk dumpling Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hadn't really thought about this before but I've got a dozen pocket knives picked up over the past 40yrs or so including one or two I wouldn't want to be found carrying in the high street! Favourite at the moment is a lightweight, slimline Gerber 'Bear Grylls' lock blade. Discrete and very sharp. Nearly always in my pocket. Looking out for a small Buck penknife - bought one for an old friend some years ago and wished I'd kept it for myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les*1066 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm a knife lover too, but so far I have managed to limit myself to just a few 'specials' that are used for various tasks .......... but it's not easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny thomas Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 According to my wife I've got too many obviously she's wrong and how someone with that many hand bags dare to make such a comment. I am at the moment making my first and very quickly adding to my scar tissue collection if I calculated its value at the hourly rate my Labour is charged at work I recon it would be worth about the same as a medium sized hatch back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazb1967 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 My favorite is my Wilkinson sword Ray Mears woodlore but I have loads, my best working knife is an Enzo trapper that i put my own handle on, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Knives are like guns, you can never have enough. Have just had a tot up and have 8 folders and 6 sheath knives, plus another 4 in the gralloching kit and a machete. Edited: Just found another.

figgy Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) If I bought a very nice knife if never use it so tend to stick to cheap Opinels and my everyday carry on my keys is a Leatherman Micro the most used knife I've ever had. Now needs sending back for the scissors and blade to be sharpened. Would like for shoot days only a very nice English made lambs foot pocket knife with bone or horn scales and a dark steel carbon blade like my grandad used for years but I've never found a good one. I looked at a dozen or so over the years in a good shops all Sheffield made but not one was right, quality just wasn't there the blades were poor or not lined up right etc. Had for over a decade a Gerber multi tool that was a Christmas gift very expensive at the time but I've barely used it. Keep it in the caravan just in case, luckily just in case hasn't happened. Edited May 28, 2015 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one that has really superb steel on it and takes a very fine edge indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I never have as it's the blade shape to do with trimming Sheeps feet. Sounds like you have a good old steel one like I've not seen in nearly a decade. I keep looking in second hand shops and antique type places. A lambs foot for me is a do all pocket knife.

FalconFN Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have No 7 opinels, carbon and stainless, which I use in the field the most - the carbon is superb and can hold a razor edge well. I have a really nice Fieldcrafter fixed blade that stays at home (it's too nice to loose) but I use that for everything around the house and garden. I've got various other Leatherman/Gerber/Wenger/Victorinox multi tools that live in various drawers and bags and a handy all stainless lock knife that gets used for the really dirty jobs. All in all I've got about a dozen regularly used knives but I've got room for a few more. One day I'll forge my own blade but I just don't have enough time at the moment.
