[anarcho-sexual]

This is my CRKT M16-13FX. I only have a few at this time, but it’s my favorite fixed blade knife. I used to carry it more, but for a month or so I’ve been preferring my folder that’s also a CRKT. I can’t remember the measurements & don’t have them written down, but it’s about 2 inches longer than my hand lol. I’ve been told my hands are big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am totally in love with this knife. I don’t use it too roughly because I love it so much, but in the times I’ve had to use it, it’s done a wonderful job. It cuts skin pretty well, too. I don’t self harm anymore, that’s just how I test new knives sometimes. It’s very sharp & as you can see has a serrated part. Those are called Veff Serrations, a kind of serration invented by Tom Veff. CRKT is the only company I’m aware of that has authorization to put Veff Serrations in their commercial products. However, one can send any knife of any kind to Mr. Veff & he will put his serrations on it for a cost, which I think is pretty neat.

It fits snugly in the sheathe & hasn’t felt like it’s been getting looser or anything despite how I sometimes play with it, pulling it out & pushing it back in for the nice feeling it has. I guess I stim with it lol. Then the sheathe has a J-clip I put on (which came with it? So it fits nicely under the waist of my pants & clips onto my belt in a way so when I pull it upwards, the clip catches on my belt & allows the knife to come out. It came with another clip option as well but I’ve so far preferred the J-clip, as it allows me to concealed carry the pretty little bastard.

Anyway I love this fuckin knife & I love knives altogether!

[andmaybegayer]

was going through the #knife tag on your blog and A: full knife "collection"/whatever you can get your hands on overview? B: what platforms do you use to buy knives in south africa? like, obviously BladeHQ and KnifeCenter are both US based and theyre kinda the major ones it seems but i also am not south african of course. C: were you specifically yearning for the tanto partially serrated UTX or was that just the image you used? and D: i'm aggrieved that you called the directional scratches from the finish on that knife the 'grain'

I'm answering these out of order so I can front load the shorter and more interesting stuff, so:

B: there's a good few decent local stores, Blade and Trigger is a knife/bow/airsoft/home defence type store that carries a broad array, and has a decent online storefront. SharpEdge is an all-online store with a smaller range but still pretty decent. DEFCON is another online store with a decent range but their website is a pain to use. Everything you'd expect to find, budget offerings from Gerber and Kershaw and CRKT as well as premium stuff from Benchmade and Spyderco.

A few custom knifemakers scattered around the country too, I think SharpEdge sells a few local custom jobs.

Unless you want something that just came out very recently or a special edition, you can get it pretty easily locally, and failing that, Amazon mostly ships here.

C: It was just the one I found on the storefront. I'm not opposed to serrations and they're real useful if you work with rope and cord a lot, since it'll cut even if the rest of your knife is going dull.

Veff Serrations in particular are interesting, I've used a Veff knife but never sharpened it and they seem to be a good balance of maintainability and utility.

D: I think I was talking about the handle, but perhaps not. I'm probably incorrect on that one.

A: Knife Collection

I don't know why I waited so long to answer this because the majority of the knives I've ever owned are not in my possession anymore. My current collection is pretty much just these:

From left to right:

Old-ass leatherman, beat up and dented stainless steel, poorly looked after by my dad, only moderately better looked after by me, doesn't see much use since it's basically just a less wieldy Swiss Army Knife because I almost always have pliers on me.

Generic as hell butterfly knife: I basically just use this to learn tricks. Nothing special, someday I'll get a nice one but this is an adequate tool. Occasionally useful if I need to handle stuff one handed, since they're very easy to open and close one handed.

Bestech Platypus: my daily driver, best knife I've ever bought, D2 steel and a G10 handle, nice sharp sheepsfoot blade that slices well and serves my needs. Requires a tiny amount of maintenance in the form of regular oiling because D2 is on the less side of stainless, but that's infrequent enough to never be an issue even for the likes of me.

CRKT CEO: pretty little executive knife, the kind of thing you'd pair with a suit or a fancy dress, what I used to carry when I was still going to the office. Nowadays it's occasionally used to eat apples and comes along if I think I might have to lend someone else a knife, such as going on hikes with friends.

I have had a couple other knives in my time, so in forward order:

Bear Grylls Scout: my first ever locking knife, a birthday gift for exactly what it says on the tin: Scouts. Good Balance of easy to look after and hard-wearing, I think it's 440 steel, serrations are helpful when you deal with rope a lot. Lost somewhere when I took a tumble down a hill.

CRKT Pazoda, the first knife I bought for myself, on a 2-for-1 deal at an outdoor place that was closing down, gave one to a friend for his birthday. He still uses that thing as far as I'm aware. Nice enough, 8cr13 is easy to maintain and I never had trouble with it, and this went everywhere with me for years. Lost in a move at some point.

Kaliber uh. I don't know the model name for this one and they don't sell it anymore. Kaliber is the house brand of Cape Union Mart, the local outdoor chain store. Bought because I was in need of a knife and didn't want to wait for delivery. Basic as hell, 8cr13, scratchy bearings, hard scales, but it's fine. Served me well for most of university until I was out ziplining and one of the people we were with fell through a broken plank on the platform. The tip broke off while it was being used to pry apart the planks so we could lift her out, which is as noble a way for a lump of rebranded steel to die as any.

Honorable Mention: medical scissors I got from the pharmacy. Great thing to have on hand, and because they're blunt I just toss them in my coat pocket.
