Finally got around to taking some quick pics I could share. In each picture, I've included the Busse Meaner Streets for scale.

First up are the REKATs. For those unfamiliar, Round Eye Knife and Tool (REKAT) was only around for a few years but they made some fine knives. What set them apart at the time was their rolling lock which is similar to Benchmade's Axis Lock I guess. The first pic is of the Sifu. Sifu means "teacher" in Japanese I think. My Sifu is a Blade Forums special edition model. It lacks the finger grooves of the standard model and is made of "Enhanced" D2. Mine is serial numbered 33 of the 75 that were made.

The SIFU:



Next is the Carnivoure:



Finally, the wicked Pocket Hobbit:



Okay, they're clamoring for a family photo:

Some Microtechs:

Some Benchmades:

First up is the old Walter Brend design Combat Talon:



The equally old Tsunami:



The AFCK:



The 710 Axis Lock:



And the AL Mar SERE 200 for good measure:

I wish they would bring the afck back, a guy at my local knife shop carries one.

My wife commandeered my AFCK. I just need to slip a replacement in unnoticed so I can get it back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I hope you like it Bruce. I gave the action a shot of WD40 and its pretty smooth now.

I've always wanted a Sifu <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Slip in a mini ambush, she wont notice the difference.

The Camillus CUDA EDC has been finding it's way in to my pocket recently. It has a sub 3" blade so no issues wherever I carry, and I really like the recurve blade. It was a little awkward for me to open at first, but fine once I got used to it. Other popular options for me are my Benchmade Griptillian and 910 if the blade length is not an issue. I love threads like this, they add to my already overwhelming shopping list...

Ahhh... I really wanted the LE AFCK with CF Handles and Axis lock. A freakin' Axis Lock AFCK. One of the sweetest folders on the market.

I don't know if this question can pertain here in The Yard, but I'll go ahead anyways. Coldone (being his cold self <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ) can take it down if it doesn't.

Anyways, I'm thinking of trading my Mini SOCOM Elite for another Microtech. Specifically the Talon OTF. It's been a really hard decision because I love my mini but I never use it (safe-queen, I know, I know....). I figure if I get myself a single action OTF I might actual feel the coolness to use the darn thing.

So what do you guys think I should do?
