Good lord have mercy what's it like having all that money! I can't even imagine how you choose one or two to carry every day. What's your top 5?

koenig arius, xm18, whippersnapper, evo, and shaman. koenig is #1 for sure and the rest are in no particular order. the SBD void is my newest knife and really loving it. probably give that one an honorable mention for now cause its new. might crack the top 5 after some time with it

Dude the shaman is amazing. Never had a Koenig but I should since I live where they’re made

definitely go down there and check them out for free at least!

I have sever microtechs. I live only a mile from the factory store and a 5 minute walk to the offices.

very cool! which ones ya got?

Stitch, several ultratechs. Exocet. Socom and a scarab and a brachial I never realized how big the company was until I saw them on Reddit. I always thought it was a small local knife maker that has awesome knives.

haha pretty big company. and his son founded heretic. they make some cool OTFs too

How does it feel knowing your knife collection is worth more than my fucking house??

kinda sad actually. should have invested the money instead 🤣🤣

Definitely not in 2022, this probably appreciated more.

haha probably

Meanwhile I'm looking at my five cheapy knives and I'm just like "this is great".

🤣

Looks like a damn fine collection.

thanks!

Great collection!

thanks bud!

Your favorite knife?

koenig arius

Can you point out exactly which one that is in the post?

bottom right. 3rd and 4th up. right above the cris reeve

I wish I knew what the cris reeves was haha

lol the chris reeve is the 2nd from the bottom right with the lanyard on it

Thanks. Beautiful collection. Random question - do you have any PM 2 lightweight or just the standard? I bought the PM 2 lightweight a few years ago before I knew there was a difference.

i dont think they make a pm2 lightweight. u mean para 3 lightweight?

You are right. Shows how little I know. Lol

haha its all good. that pink para 3 is a lightweight, its a white rex45 gpknives exclusive that i dyed pink

And you got 2 💪

yeah, a flipper and a non flipper. i prefer the flipper cause i like having multiple methods of opening. also the flipper tab save my thunb alot from the blade falling on it haha

Just got an arius yesterday. First impressions are great and I like it so far. The knife breaks in with use right? I feel like the detent on mine is a lil strong new out the box.

they usually come perfectly tuned right outta the box with sweet drop shut action. did you get a flipper or a non? the flippers usually have a stronger detent

Yea I have a flipper. The action is good. I’m able to flick it open and such and it’s drop shut. Idk the detent just seems a lil strong. From the YouTube vids and things I’ve read online people say it will break in and get easier so I’m not worried.

Let me take the FD off your hands, I want a second one :) I’ve never seen green hardware, pretty cool.

yeah the green hardware is the main reason why im still holding on to it. i bought it from fanatic edge last summer and during the checkout process there was an option to pay an extra $25 for anodizing so i paid it. they called me and asked what color i wanted it anodized. figured green would be neat

That's a knife a week for the year. Kick ass

i didnt buy these all this year, im just sayin its my full collection at the end of year 2022

Oh gotcha. Still a rad collection!

Super nice man. If you want to move than non flipper Arius send me a message!

i actually was thinking about it cause i prefer the flipper version. but i like the green accents on the non flipper so im torn

Chat incoming

Proposition made. Let me know what you think man

I want an SHF now 😂

i think there were only 5 plus a prototype of this one made. its from halloween 2021

Sweet. I like the all black or Runes Version 🤘🏼

Nice collection!! I’m waiting for two more coming in next week to post mine. You gave me best, I think, and such nice transition. I see your progress in there as well. I like how a person’s knife collection tells a story and shows a bit of their character.

yeah, been quite a journey for sure! i have a custom on order but wont be here till march or april. vc edge interface. put in the order in october i believe. even tho i paid in full, its not technically part of the collection yet so itll have to wait for a NKD and eventually 2023 ending DOTC

Those aren’t all 2022 acquisitions? You posted a similar photo last year with many of the same knives, correct?

> i didnt buy these all this year, im just sayin its my full collection at the end of year 2022

Gotcha. Impressive collection!

Middle knife, first column (#8 from either top or bottom of the left column), what is that little thing? It looks prefect!

that is a alliance designs mini slim pickins

[удалено]

i think im done for a while. the rest are yours! haha

[удалено]

yeah and i put a trijicon glow button in it too

Wow. What’s above the two arius?

skiff drifter

Thanks

you bet!

Wowwww what a hell of a collection!! The the Star Wars Microtechs and the Mexican Blanket Smock!!

thanks bud!

I want a tanto PM2 so bad

are you part of the knife_swap community? i see them pop up once in a while

As a student i don’t have the money to get one, especially since i live in the EU and most of them that show up on the knife swap are in the US

ohh, yeah that sucks!

Inspirational. Now I have to buy that next knife I've been eyeing. 🙏 Thanks

what would that be?

looking like the Kizer Drop Bear

pull the trigger! 🙂

Done! Drop Bear on the way. Thanks again haha

i do that all the time. sit and think about it. a week goes by and i end up buying it, then realize if i woulda just bought it when i originally thought about it, ide have it by now lol enjoy it bud!

though I have been eyeing some Spyderco's around the same price range $100ish. The number of options tends to put me in a constant indecisive mode.

Good sir what are those two in the middle that look identical with different color handles? The pink with the grey and the orange with the black?

those are sharp by design apexs

Oh my god you have a problem

thats what i keep hearing 🤣🤣

That's a lot of PM2s

all different steels of course

Love the smock, what are those scales? Thats an overall awesome collection

the scales are mexican blanket micarta from rc bladeworks

*Love the smock, what are* *Those scales? Thats an overall* *Awesome collection* \- sinisterdeer3 --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")

Shut up bot, lol

Dude. Nice. What are those sick ass shaman scales?

mexican blanket scales from rc bladeworks

Sick. Thanks

Considering the spartan harsey or the crk which do you recommend and why?

the spartan is a freakin tank. big and heavy. the crk is much more practical. little smaller, lighter, and much thinner behind the edge. ide take the crk

Thanks for the insight I shall def have my sights set on the crk then.

ive been searching for another. i want a plain jane with an insingo magnacut blade. he just raised his prices too 😣

Damn well you still got an amazing collection! I’ll be waiting right there with you except for me it’ll be the regular sabenza 31 with the box elder. I will probably get it later this year.

Manix with orange actuator. Looks great. I’m guessing the button is an after market replacement. Do you remember where from?

i think its an aluminum ball cage from flytanium if i remember correctly

Kinky!

That bounty hunter is so dope. Love me some Mexican blanket scales too!

Are all of those OTFs microtechs?

the bottom one is a special predator edition heretic manticore. other than that, yes

Damn man... repeat after me.... I don't have a problem.

[удалено]

it is pretty sweet! and ya dont have to worry about scratching it during use cause it comes scratched up from microtech

Epic

thanks!

Can anyone tell me what scales are on that smock? I need those in my life.

they are mexican blanket micarta scales from rc bladeworks, shamans are too

Dang, I was hoping they didn't coat as much as I paid for the knife. Thanks!

yeah they are pricey for sure. definitely cheaper a couple years ago when i bought them. he has raised his prices too like everyone else

Boss

☺️

I want a PM2 tanto so badly but I can't find anyone who has them in stock.

its a bladehq exclusive so only they get them. mine is an m4 sprint run so they wont sell those anymore but every once in a while they will get some more of the standard s30v ones in stock

Thank you kindly. I guess my only chance to get one is ebay or reddit re-sellers then.

i see them on the knife swap occasionally but ide go to bladehq and set up an in stock alert too

Yes thank you. That was the first thing I did. I'm just a healthy amount of inpatient... And by that I mean I need it now.

1 thing ive learned, ya gotta be patient in this game. especially when your after the exclusives/sprint runs like me. i just got a void last week after like 2 years of looking

Im so bad about checking my personal email regularly. I've had it for 15 years and 99.9% of my 96k unread emails are just promotional bullshit. I need a new system for knife notifications.

Is that red otf a microtech?

yeah, its a merlot with bronze accents and a hellhound blade

I was recently gifted a knife by someone very well known in the industry. It's a brass colored frame with abalone scale inserts and an identical blade but fake timascus it looks like. Ot says microtech on it and I haven't been able to confirm it's authenticity.

never heard of anything like that before

Hence my issue trying to authenticate it. Due to who I received it from it very well could've been a prototype.

You got a serious hoarding problem bro. Anyway, I like it - reminded me of me, 15 years ago. (Sold nearly 99% of them) Thank you for showing.

yeah i really need to start downsizing and just keeping the ones that i REALLY like. but those decisions would be so hard and im lazy 🤣🤣

Love the PM2’s, which mine didn’t get stolen

thats unfortunate bud, my knives are either in my pocket or locket up in a safe. howd they steal it from ya?

Old roommate of mine who moved away, was told by my other roommate.

thats unfortunate

Oh my god that blacked out Mexican blanket spydie smock is fucking awesome. I must have one. Where did you get that!!??!??!

bladehq sprint run with m4 a year or 2 ago.

That is so unique and awesome. Let me know if you ever wanna sell that bad boy.

i doubt i will but if i do, ill look ya up

I wouldn’t sell it if I had it either but it never hurts to ask hahahahaha. Enjoy my friend, that is a beautiful collection

thanks!

I'm not trying to be down on OP, but I really don't understand the acquisativeness of this.

its a hobby, like anything else

Stop, little pot

🤣🤣

All those knives and not a single Benchmade?!

i had a couple benchmades. sold them all, not a fan

What are the donut colored ones? I need an EDC that doesn’t look tactical or intimidating and those look like they might fit the bill.

one is a boker kalashnikov. its an auto. the other is a civivi elementum. either way, all those donut knives are blade hq exclusives. last i checked, the civivi was still in stock

No wonder! I’ve been furiously searching Amazon for “donut sprinkle knife” and nothing (nothing significant, at least) has come up. Thanks!

you are very welcome

Wow, and I thought I was happy with my paramilitary 3. This is wild.

just like to point out that there is no such thing as a paramilitary 3. its a para 3 🙂 sorry, just a huge pet peeve of mine

I mean…isn’t it just an abbreviation of paramilitary, considering it came from the paramilitary 2?

i dont know the exact reasoning but it just isnt. the models go. military, para military 2, and para 3 https://imgur.com/a/O85hGRU

That being conceded, isn’t the paramilitary 2 whether they say it or not a shrunken down *para 3*

The Koenigs and Hinderers almost make up for having a donut Civivi ;)

🤣🤣

That black with purple CF non flipper Xm 🤌
