Dam Greg, I diddnt know you were a collector. Lets see a family photo.

longknocker · 11-16-2010, 08:48 PM

OK, One More.

I Have Over 300 Pocket Knives, Mark. Started Collecting Them Before I Got Into Cigars. Here's My Favorite: Chris Reeve Classic:

Sharp As A Razor & Tough As Nails! Ouch! Just Nicked My Finger Closing The Blade.

Nice I was a pocket knife buyer before cigars. I've downsized my collection so many times I've only got 3 left.

IMO there is only 2 knives you NEED. A Hinderer XM-18 and a Strider SMF. Call it the beauty and the beast. However Knife buying is like cigar buying....none of us NEED half of what we have but we all justify it. I still will hunt for that elusive retardedly expensive XM-18. They are fantastic knives and if you can score them for $380-$415 or so it's a steal.

Yes, I bought my brother a Benchmade punch knife, they are fantastic. Paracord wrap the handle and it's a great knife. There aren't too many punch knives out there, you could look at cold steel but there over the top marketing has me not buying their knives. More recently I gifted him a Microtech UTX-85. So far both knives are

.

Of course these are just my opinions and everyone else might not have the same opinion. Knives are definitely a preference.

Does anyone here own a Mad Dog Taiho (the original 9" model)? They're discontinued now as I understand it, and newer models are out.

Not really a punch knife, but I listed this several pages back. I have a couple and they have served me well on several deployments. http://www.hideawayknife.com/main.php

Be cautious of hideawayknife.com. Front Sight has developed a very bad reputation with customers and virtually every knife maker they have collaborated with. I would recommend trying to find one on the secondary market. Just my

Huh, I hadn't heard that. I have 2 from them and never had any problems, of course it has been a year or two since I last bought one from them. Thanks for the heads up.

I figured since everyone is getting all fancy about their photography skills I ought to step up my game(seeing as how I call myself a professional and all that)

These are my three favorite fancy knives.
