walshie Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Not that I'm bored or anything, but I thought I'd see what I had in the way of folding knives. After I took the photo I remembered I have a Leatherman, but it's in the truck. Left to right: Little Gerber keyring knife, Spyderco Kiwi, Swiss Army Knife, Manly Wasp, Ontario Rat 2, Spyderco Tenacious, EKA Swede 10. The first 4 are all legal UK carry. Stay tuned and I might do the same with my fixed blades, but I doubt it. Edited April 7, 2020 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I still have the Swiss Army knife I got for my 8th??? Birthday, carry it everyday and still haven’t lost the tweezers or toothpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Aren’t shooters weird folk! I have more knives than I can shake a stick at, and have a ‘knife drawer’ in a cabinet in the gun room. A mate is the same; it doesn't matter where he goes, he more often than not comes back with a new knife! I have been obsessed with knives for much longer than I have been with guns. I must get a little Spyderco, great looking knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I am not at all ordered and have them all over the shop. Bet there are fifteen or twenty out there somewhere. On the other hand I don’t have many fixed blades; only three I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll think "Ooh that looks nice" and talk myself into why I need to buy one. I'm currently browsing Heinnies and am getting temped by the titanium chopsticks.

I'm much the same, but in my case they are mostly small 'folders' - but I also have a weakness for multi-tools. No interest in fixed blades for some reason. It seems to be a family trait as I have knives from my father, grandfather, and great grandfather that have been handed down to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPP Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 i only have 1multi tool, 10 folders and 6 fixed blades for shooting, must try harder! Still on the lookout for a nice damascus folder if anyone has any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I wonder if I'm worse than you at being a knife cleptomanic Scully. Just a small collection over the years and I now only have five folders, four here, Remington, Boker, Swiss Army and a simple little cheap folder i purchased for a couple of dollars on the check out of a country store over 25yrs ago and goes everywhere with me today. I do have one more but that resides in the Land Rover. SWomething tangible about a knife , even if it is a cheapy one. If it feels right, it has to come home with me. I admit I also have a fair few out and about stuck in the ground forgotten after a gralloch and failed to find when I went back.

Scully Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yeah, I think you’ve beaten me there! Will ratch all mine out and see if I can upload a few pics. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Cheapo ck that I've had many many years. And the other, found in a milking parlor rusted to bits, takes a good edge even if it is rusted to bits. Anything bigger than a gas bottle gets the mora.

Robden Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Now I know absolutely naff all about knives, but one I've fancied, even from a young age (when God was a boy), is a "flick knife." Are they just impossible to own legally, or can they be licensed, as in, guns with FAC or SGC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I must have at least 50 folding knives. Ranging from the Swiss Army Knife my Dad gave me for Christmas 1975 (I was 11 and did lose the tweezers and toothpick) to one I bought a couple of weeks back. Haven't left the house in months without 3 in my pockets. I really like knives and find them a thing of beauty, it is a terrible shame they have been demonised they way they have.

Houseplant Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I do like folders. I have two relatively cheap drop point folders, but they sharpen beautifully and hold their edge. Also have a 40 year old Opinel which I refurbished a little while ago. Despite being the cheapest of the lot, it's the closest thing I have to a family heirloom, so doesn't get taken hunting much.
