While you await your S5's and blade?

I have purchased the following (since ordering my S5's)...I'm outta control <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Spderco Endura ZDP-189
Spyderco Sage
SY DFCG - Oh yeah! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Kershaw Tyrade limited edition (150 pieces made)
Ordered a Dozier Wilderness
Ordered an Off the Map Custom bushcraft knife
Custom Bark River Bravo-1 - limited to less than 10 made

That's all...I'm really trying to stop this madness...in addition to that I have been buying supplies to make my own knives...I know I'm not the only one...Who else is buying knives whilst they wait? And, what are ye buyin'? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I've been trading, lol. Not spending till after Blade.

Since I found out the S5 was coming, I've bought a mini uncle mojo, M9LE, and bird dog LE. Not a lot, but enough to keep me busy. I'm expecting to spend a lot more at BLADE than I have in the wait for BLADE....

i placed an order for a OFF THE MAP knife too




EDIT***


i did get a IZULA,RC-6, & orange handle spyderco UK PEN knife

I would be doing the same if I were able to attend Blade - maybe this is just me making up for not being able to go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I bought myself:

A Swamp Rat Skelly Warden
Two Muela Bowies, a Dagger and a Skinner
A couple Japanese Santoku kitchen knives
A Drill Press
A Dremel kit
A crapload of belts for my Kalamazoo belt sander

Waiting on a quote for some steel; then I`ll entertain myself with making a knife, to keep my mind off when the S5s will appear. I`ll have to call up Russel Metals tomorrow.

I still want a Becker BK-2 and a Rat RC-4. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'll have to wait a bit on those though...What an expensive addiction! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I just sent mine off today for Heat treat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Can't wait to get it back and complete it.

I bought a Swamp Rat M6 to send to Afghanistan with a friend of mine. I liked it so much when it arrived, that I couldn't bear to just give it away, so I bought another M6 from the Busse exchange. This one a custom shop variant. It should be arriving within the next couple days, I would guess.

Does anyone have a pic of the M6 and the RMD next to each other?

Since ordering the S5 I have bought:

NMSFNO
Ritter Mini Griptillian
Benchmade 950 rift
Glock 23

BM Orange 551 Griptilian

Kershaw Orange G10 Tyrade Limited to 150

BM 630 Skirmish

Hey ElectricHellfire, I just got that same limited Kershaw..It's pretty sweet. What did you think of it? It's not a SY but its nice for what it is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And rare!

I order one knife since the S5 order:

the all mighty NMSFNO!

Bought these 4 from the bottom


Also bought my daughter this


For me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Needless to say my Son is sweet on it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I did look long and hard at the sheepsfoot griptillian, but the ritter and 950 beat it out... for now.... how do you like it?

I bought a few vintage Al Mars (an Integral and a pair of fixed-blade/matching SN SEREs). I also picked up a SPAX and another vintage WWII crash axe from "that" auction site last week (the crash axe was only $13.55 + $11.95 S&H).

I just bought a MICRO chest rig! I wanted something ultralight and very discrete for woods walking.....sometimes i dont need my HSGI Warlord chest rig and all the gear in it.....so i got a Tactical Tailor MAV mini chest rig....room for the bare essentials...folder knife, flashlight with stretchy leash, spare CR123a, compass, small map, rite in the rain notebook and pen, 2 powerbars, fire steel etc..


pics uploading

here we go:

flashlight leash + SureFire G2Z-L tan


mag pouch holds two - three powerbar food bars. I ate them.

I just got a ATC VTAC , and a Maxpedition Rollypoly Extreme.

338 that new strider looks huge! Very nice score.

I really love it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
It's one sweet little folder/EDC with a strong locking system!

I'm going to be getting my wife an Izula in tactical pink <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I bought another S5 while I was waiting for the first one. I'd like to get a Yard Guard and a SOD if I could find them new somewhere.

Thanks man <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Here is a comparison pic next to the local champs.
AOL = 13"
Blade = 7" to the thumb ramps/guard, 6" where edge ends.
Handle = 5.5" from thumb ramp/guard to handle end. Or 4.75" of cord wrap.
Skinny ASH, BN-SS, SOD & S6

nothing at the moment, need to save my pennies for a drill press.

So far, just my Badlands Hybrid pack. I've hiked more than a dozen miles with it so far. I love it.

I'm thinking of getting a few less expensive knives to test for my scouts before the S5 gets here. I'm thinking the Blackjack Grunt and a Cold Steel Finn Bear.

But haven't decided yet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Nothing right now, trying to save my money right now.

I am going to pick up an Enzo blank, handle it up and then handle up my Spyderco Mule.

I'll be looking mostly at choppers and folders. I may pick up another midsized Scrapper, too. The new Busse kukri and the new Condor golok are high on my list.
I also want to handle some ZT folders to see how I like them. I might even find a leather sheath for my NMSFNO, since Jeff is snowed under now and my kydex scratches the new satin finish I put on mine.

Emerson CQB-7 non wave
Swamp Rat Chopweiller sage and micarta handles
Swamp Rat Harry Carry with blue handles
Refound an old Benchmade folder

I've been kayaking hard the last two days setting jug lines. Got one decent cat last night. Large fish in a small boat can be quite tricky. I had a cooler filled with water in back and that extra 60 or 70 pounds killed me.

I'm going to have to put them on ice or maybe just get an aerator so I don't have to drag around all that weight.


All of that to say, I need some of those leashes so I don't lose my knife or flashlight while in the boat. Where did you snag those?

[censored]. i was hoping that you would tell me how much you did not like it so I would not have to buy one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

tactical tailor makes em! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> (but keep in mind this http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e52/Bushman5/th_a926c097.jpg is a separate piece....)
