Love the HFB Custom Crow, Andy’s team makes some nice pieces.

here’s a couple of mine
- Kershaw Hinderer
-Esee PR4
- and the middle one I made myself on the forge, average effort but has a good edge on it.

How do you like the Benchmade? I have the exact same one and have never used it, it just feels cheap in the hand, but my really cheap Gerber that I've used for about 8 years is on its way out.

It works good for its intended purpose. As you can see its well used and abused, I've carried it everyday for atleast 10 years. It has a machined aluminum body so its pretty hard to destroy that and the blade steel is good but hard to sharpen a good edge.

I’ve loved knives for forever, and started my nice knife collection with a HFB karambito… soon after that I started making and forging my own blades in my garage, and have added some Winklers and things to the arsenal.

Nice work on the blacksmith’s knife!

Thanks man appreciate it, when I get time and space back in the garage (wife’s potty pottery has taken over) I’d like to make more probably a pig sticker, as some other projects.
Something very rewarding fabricating with your own hands. ( I’m a sparky by trade so enjoy doing something a bit different)

Nice work on yours as well adds to a decent collection of knives you’ve got there brother.

I hear ya! I spent 15+ years at desk jobs and never really did anything with my baby soft hands when I picked up a hammer to make blades. There really is something about making functional art from nothing.

A lot of those blades found new homes, one even went to Jack Carr at a meet and greet for Cry Havoc.

Jack Carr that’s awesomeness right there!

These are my Damascus pocket knives. I carry the ram horn one daily. Most of the knives I will show are made by a guy who lives near me that won Forged in Fire contest. Unfortunately my photos don’t do justice to the Damascus patterns.

I have a couple buddies that I work with who came directly from Buck knives, I've been lucky enough to receive some rare stuff from them and this is my most recent acquisition, definitely a keeper.

I did post previously but forgot to say I did build the bottom knife. I took a class over three days and forged it from a block of steel. I put mastodon scales on it.

Love knives. Always carrying one or two.

As far as urban social carry, my favorite folders to carry are my Benchmade 525 presidio like @deadeyejunior has (good taste!), spyderco para 3 in 15V, and Kizer drop bear uti bear, because you can run to Home Depot and get a hundo pack of carbide blades for $10 bucks. Fixed blades I carry most in the city are my winkler SD1, MKC mini speedgoat ultra, and an old ESEE Izula 2 I carry in the pocket on a belt dangler.

As far as hunting knives go, my favorites are my MKC Jackstone or Ashley Emerson’s Game Knife. I used to carry my Buck 110, but I have found that I love the blade shape of the other 2 knives when field dressing or breaking down an animal.
