So what is your next knife? what's at the top of your wish list? And don't say the next SY knife. We all want that. If you had to buy your next knife today what would it be?

I like the looks of the CRKT Carson M-4. Thinking about it or a Spyderco Military or Endura.

I have all the fixed blades covered. I have never owned a Spyderco. The Endura in VG-10 is in the same price range as my favorite EDC, the CS Voyager in VG-1. But the Carson M-4 in AUS-8 is very nice looking. I might just give the Spyderco a try. People who own them seem to like them.

Yes Bruce, Justin has some excellent prices for some excellent blades, with a warranty to match! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I "hemmed and hawed" at the Blade Show, trying to decide if I wanted Justin to taper the clip-point more or not, which he was very willing to do. I decided to keep it the way it was, with plenty of spine for batoning if necessary. Justin's willingness to make me happy with the knife reinforced my first impression of him - I liked him immediately. I even took a picture of him! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Top candidate is one I just found today thanks to the good people here: I really like the looks of that shelly, it's been high on my list for a while too. The next knife I plan to purchase when I can scrape up enough cash is an AG Russel Seamaster. I've wanted one ever since 2004 or 05 when ever it was that it came out. Only problem is I keep running into something else I want or need before I get up enough clams for that... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like a great "discussion group" - wish I could be there with you guys! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I often wish there were some dogs in my neck of the woods to gather with. Just got my mondo credit card bill in. It has the bravo-1, 2 SOGs, 2 CS, Ritter, and others on it. Big blade month! Think I'll hold off for a while on purchases until the DFLE comes out. Got some medical bills to pay anyway. That's the down side of retirement, less income. Nothing I didn't plan on, but still big bill. Still have some serious medical issues to resolve. Those blood tests aren't cheap. Had an ear ache for a week. That can make a guy irritable. Once I get this behind me, I'm looking forward to some cooler weather. The heat down here is downright unhealthy.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I may get some knife-making equipment and start making little bitty knives. Why so many people buy them is a mystery to me, but they are cheaper to make than big ones. My idea of a useful small knife would be SAK Recruit. But a supplement to my retirement might be good.

im about to pull the trigger on a bark river mini canadian Congrats, VANCE. BRKT is a close third on my best-bang-for-the-buck list. Mike's knives cannot be beat for variety of blade shapes and handle materials. Plus, as Leatherface likes to say, Mike is a genius. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I've already got one of his knives although not under the BRKT name. Otherwise I'd be looking real hard right now at a Bravo-1 or a Gamekeeper or a Forager or a Sandstorm or . . . I think the forager is the best hunting knife availabe anywhere. it may be easier to find the gameskeeper. they are basicly the same knife but the hidden tang. it is close in shape and size to a cs hunter but made from A2 still cryo treated and triple tempered!

I can not pick another knife because I just bought another BRKT Forrester yesterday and 3 more machetes after reading Vic's rewiew. if you guys weren't always showing your knives I wouldn't buy so much.
I also picked up a gerber gator usa made 154cm guthook fixed blade. i wanted one with out the gut hook but i took what was available because the price was incredible.

vic,
I know you have a nice collection, (i am very jealous) but I own 10 spydies and 10 crkt knives about and my spydies are far sharper and hold an edge much longer. I think that says a lot, scrappy. Why do you think I like CS Voyagers so much? They cut! The purpose of a knife is to cut. The cheapest sharp knife is better than the most expensive dull one. The CRKT Carson costs more than an Endura, but less than a military. My next folder will be a Spyderco. Thanks for the info.

What is that black Skelly ,3 people have posted it's photo and no one has said the name and it's driving me nuts? Is it an assault shaker?
I love those ittybitty knives and it is much easier to start making the little ones. I think you would be a great knifemaker HD. I especially like the Atwoods as far as ittybitty's.
My new Lambert Whar is incredible ,it really is the best knife I have ever seen in real life and it's all mine. I can't believe what a great deal I got as well. They are listed at 475$US on his site with a LONG wait and mine has the timascus bolsters which are an added feature.I paid less than 300$ Canadian. I highly recommend the blade exchange at CGN. Since I bought the Lambert I also got a PPK katana blade and spare saya for 150$ and an Emerson Commander and a Spyderco Chinook both for 275$. OH my GOSH I just added up my spending spree for the first time! Dan take as long as you need to bring out the next knife. This should mean it will be announced tomorrow.
I also just noticed that no matter the topic of the thread I just go on and on about my new custom.

I also just noticed that no matter the topic of the thread I just go on and on about my new custom. that is a fehrman in cpm 3v www.fehrmanknives.com

...I love those ittybitty knives and it is much easier to start making the little ones. I think you would be a great knifemaker HD.... I just hope my customers can live with 440C, 'cause that's what I plan on using. I have saved some interesting pieces of wood from the burn pile and scraps from exotic hardwood flooring to use as handle materials. I suppose I'll get some G-10, too. I plan to make knives in the 3" to 5" blade range for starters. It might be fun. My head is full of ideas that need to be expressed in steel. A small Nessmuk would be nice for small game hunters. Can I get pre-tempered steel? I am not planning on forging at first, but just stock removal.

I have a "Want List" with about 10 or so more Bark River knives that I still want to get..... and I have a fair number of Barkies already. Unfortunately, I am having to sell stuff right now and can't really make the purchases I want to make. I like some of the Spyderco knives. I still have a couple of folders, but I honestly don't like Thumb-hole knives. I do like some of their fixed bladed knives: The Temperance, Hossom - Dayhiker Perrin (1st one) are all pretty nice knives. ------------------------------- I also have a couple of Fehrman's knives. The ones I have fall in the "I LOVE them, but...." catagory. I think Fehrman and Chris Reeve rank as two of the highest quality for fit and finish for semi-custom knife makers. Both are very good at the little details of their knives. Fehrman is apparently (by trade) a tool and die maker with "decades of experience" and a pretty nice CNC machine. Fehrman has immaculate lines on his knives with little details very well done such as: - Radiused lanyard hole (perfectly clean and polished holes), - Beveled spine, choil and pommel edges - Perfectly cut jimping in the thumb ramps - Contouring and shaping of the handle is CNC perfect - Excellent - VERY well made sheaths (*Chris Reeve's leather and Randall's leather sheaths are two of the best sheaths I have seen provided by a maker!) I have the Fehrman Last Chance and the Peace Maker. Both are very cool for different reasons. But,....... - The Last Chance has an obnoxiously large handle and is generally way over-sized, over-chunky for it's length. The handle is actually VERY nice, very comfortable and very well shaped. I just feel the handle is way too chunky for a knife with a 5.5" blade. The handle is very thick and very tall for this sized blade. I am pretty sure the handle on the Last Chance is the same size handle as used on the First Strike and Final Judgement. I think this handle might be borderline on the First Strike (probably still a tad too chunky in my book) and more suited for a massive Final Judgement. I asume the handle would be very nice on the Final Judgement. CPM-3V is a very good knife steel. But, by the time you pay $350.00 for the Final Judgement, you could have had a Busse! The only reason I have the two I have was because of lucky low priced purchases on ebay. On the other hand - The Fehrman Peace Maker's handle is Way too short - one extreme to the other. I had wanted a Shadow Scout for a long time, but I have reservations since it has the same handle and with a longer blade. The Thru-Hiker appears to have the same exact handle as the Peacemaker, but without scales. I have fairly large hands and I am pretty particular about handles. I don't really like skeleton knives, but the Thru-Hiker is probably a very nice knife for people with medium sized hands. I don't have any reservations about the quality of the knife at all. Just the handles. What I call the "Grip Area" is the distance at the belly of the grip from the furthest your index finger can go into the guard to the peak of the pommel or furthest back your little finger will go (not neccessarily the peak if a bird's beak type pommel). I measure the Peace Maker at about 3.25" - 3.375"!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" /> I consider this WAY too small!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> VERY few knives have a grip area this small. (Unless they are small neckers.....) For comparison purposes: - HRLM - 3.75" - 3.875" (Great fit!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> ) - Older HR, Yard Keeper, Bandicoot (all same handle) - 3.625" (borderline for me, but probably good for most people.) - Fehrman - Last Chance - I would call about 3.75" - and Plenty sufficiently roomy. (* Because of the shape of this handle, I am not even measuring to the peak of the pommel. I measure to where my little finger would naturaly stop against the pommel. Peak to peak is larger, but by my definition of functional grip area, I would say 3.75".) *** An 1/8th inch here and there is HUGE for grip areas! It is hard to critique many flaws in Fehrmans' quality, fit and finish! But, I am disappointed in the handle sizes.... I don't feel these were well thought out. My conspiracy theory is: Fehrman uses a lot of CNC and has one handle program for three knives and one other handle program for the other three knives for simplicity. Great for simplicity, but not so great for certain knives. The thing is, on the three smaller handled knives, a 3.375" handle would only barely be sufficient for the Thru-Hiker in my book and way too small for the Shadow Scout and Peace Maker. I consider 3.625" a bare minimum (for me) and preferably 3.75" + on smaller knives - all relevant to the actual overall knife. I have considered re-shaping the handle where I would move the grip forward into the lower guard. But, I would have to remove and reshape the bump between the index and middle finger. But, I would be removing Fehrman's highly perfect bevel's. I am constantly evaluating my collection and some knives get cut from time to time. I have had my Fehrman's for a good while and have never used either. They are so nice in so many ways that I can't seem to let them go. But, for what the Fehrmans are worth, I can easily get a Swamp Rat, Scrap Yard or Barkie that fits better and have change left over. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> If it wasn't for the handle on the Peace Maker, the Peace Maker would be an Awesome knife! The blade design is spectacular, great thumb ramp, great choil, excellent quality, fit and finish. The Peace Maker is actually very similar to the HRLM (actually reverse that!). But, the HRLM has a perfect fit handle and is generally larger all around. The main advantages the Peace Maker has are: already satin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> , functional choil (I can fix the choil on my HRLM easily enough since I will strip it anyway...., but if you don't intend to strip your HRLM, this is probably annoying.), and the Peace Maker is lighter weight. *** When Swamp Rat starts on the "to be released" Rat Hunter and the Baby Coot, I hope they decrease the height and thickness of the handle to slim it down to better suite the smaller blades, but I hope they don't make the handles too short!!!! *** Another detail I would love to see on future Swamp Rat smaller knives like the Rat Hunter and Baby Coot would be to skeletonize the handles under the scales to save weight! I know they can do it as they did skeletonize the Shaker and similar. There isn't much I would change about the HRLM, (I can fix the choil myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ), but if they could skeletonize the tang under the slabs, the balance, weight and feel that would be achieved would put the HRLM into the next stage of World Class - whatever that is. ..... I need to start posting more thoughts over at the Swamp! * Something else to consider on the Thru Hiker - it is going to be fairly stout and probably fairly heavy for a necker! It seems more of a light-weight, belt knife for EDC without scales. But, that is just my opinion. I don't like anything on my neck and I don't like knives without handles, so I am not a fair one to judge. Skeletonized under the scales is a different story! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I would be curious to a see a side-by-side photo of the Thru Hiker next to a Rat Shaker or similar. .

Wig, My bride is forcing me to attend the Chicago Knife Show on Sept. 8th http://www.chicagocustomknifeshow.com/Home.htmlit is the day before my 50th B-day and she insists I buy the knife of my dreams since I'll only be 50 once. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Love that girl!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> What will it be? Sweet as Rock Candy and better looking than me. No idea but a custom or a ultra folder will be in my near future for sure. They are having the biggest names in Custom Knife making at that event and I am sure to score a lifetime memory from it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Peace.

im about to pull the trigger on a bark river mini canadian Congrats, VANCE. BRKT is a close third on my best-bang-for-the-buck list. Mike's knives cannot be beat for variety of blade shapes and handle materials. Plus, as Leatherface likes to say, Mike is a genius. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I've already got one of his knives although not under the BRKT name. Otherwise I'd be looking real hard right now at a Bravo-1 or a Gamekeeper or a Forager or a Sandstorm or . . . I think the forager is the best hunting knife availabe anywhere. it may be easier to find the gameskeeper. they are basicly the same knife but the hidden tang. it is close in shape and size to a cs hunter but made from A2 still cryo treated and triple tempered! Oh Man... I have a CS Master Hunter.... But, the Barkies BLOW it away!!! The Forager, Gameskeeper, Fox River, Canadian Special and many other flat out blow the CS Master Hunter out of the area. .... on the other hand, the Master Hunter can be purchased for about half the price of the Barkies I mentioned. So, if someone were to need cheap, then..... ..... carry on.

Since I picked up a DF yesterday, the knife at the top of my list would be a skelly. Top candidate is one I just found today thanks to the good people here: it is a nice little knife, I like mine. Scrappy, I see you have the Thru Hiker. What are your thoughts on the handle size?

I can not pick another knife because I just bought another BRKT Forrester yesterday and 3 more machetes after reading Vic's rewiew. if you guys weren't always showing your knives I wouldn't buy so much.
I also picked up a gerber gator usa made 154cm guthook fixed blade. i wanted one with out the gut hook but i took what was available because the price was incredible. Scrappy, I am curious to here more feedback on that Forrester. I am still curious about the function of the design and N-685 steel. I would love to here a review from you.

then you have to factor in cool factor, and how it will look with the majority of your outfits.

then you have to factor in cool factor, and how it will look with the majority of your outfits. Mmmmmmm..... No. - .... How it looks with my "outfits" has never been on my decision list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ...., but I will try not to say "too" much if that is on your decision list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Visual aesthetic appeal - sure. I like satin blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> and all kinds of different handle materials. But, I never tried to match them to my attire. .... I guess I do like some of my folders to be somewhat inconspicuous and non-threatening to help keep the sheeples at ease. .... If that counts (????). "Cool factor" has probably come into play a little here and there. But, for me, it is based mostly on preferences in design, ergos, function, materials, etc. .

I don't really have any problems with that so long as you are equally or sufficiently happy with performance from both knives. I wasn't sure if you were trying to give me some ribbing or if I was given a good opportunity to give you some ribbing. So, I chose the later. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> For the record, I carry a black SAK Executive, because I like the color better. ... as they say: "It's all good...". .

What an evil leaf-shaped recurve. Naturally, I love it. You're the man, Ted.

Just got a call from a major engineering company in Atlanta. They want me to head up a water/sewer project just south of here on the FL line. Decisions, decisions. Big money. Big money = More knives doesn't it HD?

Ted Frizzell does the grinds on these. I think they are the perfect urban sword. Fairly short, double edged, G-10 handles. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is the weight, it's 1/4" 5160(Would be really cool to have it in SR-77 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />)

A Chris Reeves Mountaineer II. I keep saying that but it's really on the short list. The only problem is that something else comes along and pushes it aside.

I'd give my left.....well, nevermind. I want to keep all my parts, but I sure wish I'd jumped on the original Mean Streets when it was available. On second thought, if I had jumped on a Mean Streets, I might have lost some of my favorite parts.

I haven't been overly impressed with the overall performance of CRKT.
Spyderco's QC and performance are top notch... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Absolutely No Question - when comparing quality of workmanship, quality of blade, fit and finish, and many other details. Spyderco is one of the best in my opinion. I have mentioned before, I think Spyderco knives are VERY good. But, for me personally, the thumb-holes ruin it for me and many of their designs fall short of what I want. So, I tend to have to look at other makers. I prefer Benchmade over Spyderco because of what I consider better designs (for me). I do consider "some" Benchmade knives to be of equal quality to Spyderco. The Rukus is one and there are plenty of others. CRKT is not in the same league as Spyderco or Benchmade (at least not 95% of the time.) But, I do EDC a CRKT Apache that I consider to be a good "design" with a good blade. The blade is ATS-34 and has been more than satisfactory for my uses. The blade design is not my first choice, but it is good. The catch for me in regards to the Apache was that I made many modifications and customizations to the Apache to make it my EDC. The knife out of the box was a little rough around the corners for me. But, the design was such that I could make the modifications and customizations and make pretty close to what I consider an ideal EDC. It is not what I consider "Perfect". There are some things I would prefer to change still, but with my modifications, it is pretty close and very good for the money (for me). .

Good for you, Bruce. Rangers aren't finished as nicley as some brands, but you get a lot of good steel with micarta handles for a good price. I love my Rangers.

Thanks, Vic. I ordered a satin-finished RD-7 with Desert Ironwood handles. It should turn out great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Ooooo! Yeah, that one will be one of the pretty ones for sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

...I love those ittybitty knives and it is much easier to start making the little ones. I think you would be a great knifemaker HD.... I just hope my customers can live with 440C, 'cause that's what I plan on using. I have saved some interesting pieces of wood from the burn pile and scraps from exotic hardwood flooring to use as handle materials. I suppose I'll get some G-10, too. I plan to make knives in the 3" to 5" blade range for starters. It might be fun. My head is full of ideas that need to be expressed in steel. A small Nessmuk would be nice for small game hunters. Can I get pre-tempered steel? I am not planning on forging at first, but just stock removal. vic, I would ne a customer for sure. hurry up!:) +1, HD

I love my Ranger 7, though I have beat the tar out of it, broke the bolts on the micarta handles, stripped it with a Dremmel and it keeps coming back for more. I keep showing it to Wiggity and he is still a doubter! I can't seem to keep it sharp. I need HD to re-profile it!

To answer the original posted question. Either a SYKCO Skelly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> (if released) or the Ferhman Thru Hiker.
I was really hoping for a Busse Assault Shaker and am still bitter about Jerry's decision! No remorse!

I just pulled the trigger on my first Ranger knife . . . a custom RD-7. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'll post pics when it arrives in about 3 - 4 weeks. Sweet. You'll love it - if you're not too concerned w/ little cosmetic stuff, as Vic said. As 0-9 mentioned, the bolts that hold the grips on are probably the weakest link w/ the RD's - I've stripped out a couple, but Justin has been prompt with sending replacements at no charge. For semicustom work at a great price, Justin is the man. And his one off customs are beeeeeautiful.

not sure probably a CRKT M1 I have one spyderco and really don't like it. It was a Christmas gift about 10-12 years ago and it hasn't seen much use. If it wasn't a gift I probably would have gotten rid of it by now

It'll be worth the wait. We've gotten a lot of practice lately at waiting... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> So what do ya think will they have them in two weeks or will it be less than 30... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm trying desperately to hold back what I'll need for Dan's eventual release, but it hasn't been easy... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I really do think that by this time next week we'll know something considering the significance of the upcoming date.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
