Knives collection?

[redfork]

Saki,
Thanks. A few years ago, I could not understand why anyone would fork out several hundreds for a single knife. Today, I'm one of those guys. The more you research about them, the more you want to have them.

I love the .23" thickness on this knife. 10.5" knife with a 5" blade. The design of the handle is pretty unique and it forces the user to hold it with the thumb on the spine. Nice quality but I'm not use to holding small knives this way.

Saki,
Toxic green and black, G-10 material. Not my choice since it was free.

I use them mainly for deer and hog hunting. Just got done cleaning up a hog in this picture.

[saki saki]

Whao.. U hunt Hog's?? or Hogzilla??
They can be big..

[saki saki]

Very nice knives you got there indeed.

I get a few hogs every year and have seen them in 300+ lb.

Here are my Mora knives. Cheaper knives but I can't complain when they can be had for $10-30 only. I use these for my fishing trips. Black handled is the Mora Bushcraft Survival and the green is the Mora 2000. I love the feel of the Mora Bushcraft but both blades are for light use only. I get a lot of chips and rolls on these knives.

Dam, nice.. You have more knives, then I can shake a stick at.
Awesome collection. And thanks for share'n
more, if you have.

I'm also a big fan of Hmong knives but they're hit or miss deals, mainly misses. Most of the forgers don't know exactly what type of steel they are using so they follow the same process of heating and tempering. Sometimes they turn out right. Other times they're worthless. I got a local guy to build me one out of D2 tool steel. This is the middle knife in this picture. The other two are for slicing and general cut around the kitchen only. Can't do any heavy work on these.

More Hmong knives

Whoa... Awesome bro.. you can't beat the HmnG blade. lol

These are the Japanese water stones I use. Naniwa Superstones and Masamoto. I actually visited the Masamoto knife shop in Tokyo earlier this year and bought the stone from there. Regretting I didn't pick up a few kitchen and sushi knives.
