Anyone into knives?

[Honkey_Kong]

Hello all, longtime member couch here, under a new account.

Figured I'd post about my new hobby/career, which is collecting and modding quality folding knives and high end balisongs (butterfly knives).

What started out as s hobby quickly turned into a massive addiction and ultimately a full time job.

Benchmade, zero tolerance, hogue, crk, Medford, obscene, etc folders

Hom, JK, hazetac, Benchmade, maxace, brs, eos, etc balis

Here's some pics of my stable and sone of my work.

All fellow blade freaks please post up, also nooks are Open if you see anything you'd like done.

I'm not in to those butterfly knives. But you do some pretty fucking good work there.

The kind of knives I carry are the $20-50 ones like my Smith and Wesson folding blade I got from Walmart. It holds an edge well, cuts well, fits my hand and if I break it or scratch it up, I don't really care, because it's cheap.

Yeah; great info/advice here...

In the kitchen, my knives are top of the line (or better; the best I can afford), but for EDC or outdoors use (except my skinning / butchering knives, but even those are not top quality...), it's better to buy on the reasonable range.... IMHO
