as long as it's neon green, with fake blood splatters on it, and badly designed, we're good to go
+1 if it's not an actual knife, but a skin from a vidya game

Well Bladeforums is always good. I honestly have a lot of fun on /k but I've only been there a few weeks. Honestly I learned most of what I know about knives through YouTube and my own expirence over the years... I've got quite the collection nowadays.
If you have any questions, fixed, folding, machetes, swords, sharpening, ect... I love to chat knives.
Pic related is my folders. Also have a bunch of fixed blades.

And as long as you are getting into knoife collecting, I recommend a sharpening system. For us sc/out/s, a great way to keep our blades in shape is to invest in a good ferro rod. This way we can kill two birds with one stone and start camp fires while getting an edge on that blade.

I was at a flee market today, and actually saw this exact knife. It's even more dumb in person.
>>953982
Nah not really... It's a self sustaining hobby. I make enough money sharpening blades to pay for my blades...

I may or may not have bought one....just for fun.

Wut is that orange one? Looks like a Kershaw?
And I kinda like that smaller one sort of in the middle. The one with the lighter brown handle and lighter leather sheath. What is it and how is it?
>>954125
That's a Karambit or whatever, right?
>tfw you only know that from seeing "name my knoife!" threads on /b/
Are those things actually one bit practical in the real world? Just seems like a horrible blade shape for 99% of stuff you would want to use a knife for.

Disregard. I just realized that this thread exists >>947600
The only post in that whole thread that makes sense is when some anon mentioned that a ruler in Okinawa tried to outlaw fighting knives so people carried their mini-scythes (karambits) as defense instead.
Pic related is from the Karambit Wikipedia page. He probably lives in his mom's basement and posts here, on /k/, /jp/, /a/, /b/, and /r9k/
>>954129
>Karambit
a folding, assisted opening, partially serrated Karambit
>Are those things actually one bit practical in the real world?
no, not one bit

Sorry for the slow reply. They Orange One with the orange sheath is a Kershaw fixed Skyline, they are no longer in production.
Not sure which one you are referencing... Is it one of the 4 on the left of this pic?
>>955212
would you ever sell the wikkala? its my dream niv
>>955212
Maybe trade?
>>955581
I've considered selling it before, I like it a lot, and it's great for carving, but I need money for a 1600 pelican case for my sharpening equipment.
I'll post a throw away email when I get home if you want to discuss it.

Forgot pic

The one with the almost orange wood handle next to the CRKT on the left. That one looks cool, almost like an Izula with nice scales.
>>955663
Oh that is a Gavko EDC. It was custom ordered a 4 or so years ago from Gavko with the lava scales, green G-10 liners, and the Mosaic pin. The Sheath is Kydex with a wood pattern. It's AEB-L steel with an extremely thin 0 convex grind. It's probably my most effective slicing knife.
I bought it from the original owner about 2 years ago, he needed money for textbooks.
>>955676
Oh damn I thought the scales were a light orange maple or something, now I see it's not wood. Still looks cool.
>>955646
me again. would you take a $200 convexed but unabused benchmade 162 in trade?
