I just found this thread, some wonderful pieces here. I've been collecting for some years now. If I can get some time, I'll arrange some pics of what I have. My most recent one to get is a Benchmade Griptilian or Presidio.

Put those pocket knives away...
This is a Paul Chen Hanwei Golden Oriole Katana, a Hanwei Practical Pro Elite Katana
and a Kingfisher Level 7 Impact Grade Appalachian Hickory Yagyu Style Bokken

You can get a better look at them with stats here:

Yagyu bokken
The Yagyu Clan were the enemies of the Emperors Executioner in the Lone Wolf and Cub series


If I woke up in the middle of the night to an intruder and that was within arms reach I would go for the bokken every time.
It's hard as a rock, light as a feather and what it hits breaks.
I have one of their Jo, too.

My EDC pocket knife. It’s not my favorite pocket knife in terms of ease of opening, but it’s super light weight, doesn’t look tactical (a plus sometimes in an office environment, and the CPM steel is easy to keep razor sharp

Tried my hand at making my own knives this week. Today was hardening day. The steel is nothing special (1095) but I figured I’d learn on the cheap stuff.

Latest knife made. Probably number 4? Anyway, still finishing the handle and won’t sharpen it until that’s done.

Mago Italian made 11 inch OTF double-action stiletto switchblade with double-edge blade that weighs 8 oz.
Push the button it jumps out the front, push it again and it retracts

I have other bade styles but really like the stiletto, though this is the only automatic knife i have. Assisted opening is what I carry, twins. If you have two they must match.​
