Dead-on FUBAR hammer.(It's awesome)

I've wanted one of those ever since I joined the forum. How much abuse have you thrown at that thing?

mzmadmike? Holy shit. I now want one more.

[Cherokee John]

These are the ones I use more than any others. Nothing fancy or "tacticool". Just good, solid tools that never lets me down.


The Victorinox folder is my EDC. It's always in my pocket both for everyday life and for hiking.
The Big one is technically not a knife (it's a bush axe). It lives in my pack and doubles as both axe and machete.

The last one in detail:

This is my go to knife for bushcraft and various tasks around camp. Always in my pack and it has been for more than 15 years now.
Everyone should have a good old fashioned full tang, no nonsense knife like that.

I get these "bush axes'" real cheap here in Asia they're really great tools and I can carry them around without people even batting an eye. I've never broken one and I beat the living crap out of them. I got my the grind stone sharpened up nicely and they can chop through almost anything. More versatile than a "bolo" or machete which are illegal in the country I'm living in. Thanks for sharing.

got that at the flee market this weekend

[elricfate]

Two days ago my mother in law brought me an extremely rusted and pitted Old Timer (with no Schrade stamp on the blade, which I thought was rare) -- it's a heavy carbon steel blade and the Delrin is the much older looking version than what it used today. The sheath was covered in mold and she told me it had been in the basement for at least two decades. Mind you, I don't have a proper buffing wheel, so this was all done by hand with green jewelers rouge and patience.

[AKbash]

New to the forum! You guys have some really nice survival information here. Anyways, this would be my knife of choice for a zombie apocalypse:

My Kabar Tanto and my EDC muti tool/knife Leatherman.

[tshw1973]

I have a mix of knives. Factor in Im from the UK and cannot legally buy items i would like to have:-

(sorry i have nowhere to host pictures)

1. Basic swiss army knife. Like above this is practically useful and gets used more than any other items in real life.

2. Gerber (Freeman) Guide lock knife. Useful for basic 'stuff'



3. UK Army Machete. Useful for heavy duty chopping and abuse.



4. Cold steel recon scout San Mai 3. Knife porn. Bought this with a good discount on offer.



5. CAS Hanwei Tactical Katana. For when the SHTF. No practical use whatsoever except injuring oneself.

I know you all are probably tired of seeing Kabars, but I picked up the less common 1264, and really like it as opposed to the longer Kabar tanto. It seems better balanced as a fighting knife since it's a little more proportional in size (based off the USMC fighting knife).

[JoergS]

WraithHunter, I see you have the Cold Steel Boar Lance. I looked at it recently at the IWA show, really cool. What are your experiences with it?

[WraithHunter]

Boar Spear is new.
I've only cut some cardboard boxes with it, but it's a fierce weapon as you can see from Cold Steel demonstration videos.
I live in an urban environment (downtown LA), where if I walked outside with that spear, it would scare a lot of people into calling the police.
I hope to hunt real boars with it someday, but it's a great zombie weapon for now.

[HatchetSurvivalist15]

This is my baby lol its a 15" long bowier knife...has a 10" blade...has a cresent saw spine... a pommel on the hilt...a lantern loop (idk whats its for...some say its a bayonet hole to put on the the barrel and some say its a lantern loop idk)...has a rubber handle... and comes with a nylon sheath (but i had to put a leg strap on my self so it wont just flop around on my belt while i run). I use it all the time when im outside. i live in a wooded area so its great to have with me to use as a tool and to protect myself. Its a big knife so i can't take it in to public but while im home or in the country i have it on my side at all times.

[DeviantSaint]

Here's a Laredo Bowie that I had Michael Z. WIlliamson (a member here on ZS) convert to a M16 bayonet. I wanted something that was useful as a camp knife when I went downrange. The sanmai steel makes the blade a little pricey but it was well worth it.

[Raindog]

This one arrived today. I considered sending it off to be coated but didn't really want to wait to use it so a little vinegar and mustard was applied....
