I see some of Tom's wonderful work!

Those scales are fantastic!

Thank you. I like the weight of metal scales even on my smaller knives. Makes them feel more significant to me.

Another one of my carries. A Benchmade 940 Osborne with an S90V tanto blade and custom brass scales with a marinars compass.

Mariner's compass, another win! (I'm probably biased being a mariner and all...)

Two of my more recent acquisitions:

This is what happens when you have too many knives.

What? Is there such "a thing" as too many knives? That's like having too many tools. Or too many pairs of boots. Or too many leather jackets.

Produce such as oranges and avocados come in net bags. Hams come in net bags. Oysters come in net bags. The X rolls her eyes whenever this tool is used. Yet, there's no replacement for it. A special purpose tool, which does its job. Sort of like my "oil change sockets". You can use a regular socket, or a wrench - but nothing works on an oil drain plug like a tool made for oil drain plugs.

Inspired by the CRKT Pilar I made a copper scale for my WarToad today.
This is the perfect picnic Knife, the hollow grind on the 440-c is easily kept razor sharp and passes the tomato test every time.
It's also a brilliant oyster shucker!
Now who doesn't need an EDC oyster shucker?

I have a few Spyderco knives. This is my PM2 with CPM S90V blade & titanium alloy scales.

 

[Olumin]

I like this one, plus it complies with local laws when needed (non locking).

Here a couple more traditional ones:

Have one of my nicer knives in pocket today

How’s it look closed. Does the bottle opener ( I assume) snag Things

Does the bottle opener ( I assume) snag Things

Not a bottle opener, though there are those who will use it as one. It is known as The Emerson Wave Shaped Feature aka The Emerson Wave

So yes, it snags on things as intended thereby opening the knife as you pull it from your pocket

How’s it look closed

My two work knives, the long one for skiving leather, the other for everything else, I make shoes for a living.

Al Mar Eagle just arrived from Japan

The card on the top right is from the factory rep describing the knife, where it was made and by whom.

My newest addition

 

[VoodooSan]

Now how in the world is it that I was today days old before I learned there was an FL thread on pointy-stabby things?

I'm going to restrain myself, and just show two, to begin with. The first is a Dusty Moulton Yellowstone. It was the very first hand-made knife I ever purchased. I bought it from Dusty at a knife show in the old Le Baron Hotel in San Jose, CA, twenty years ago. The second is a Billy Ellis River Fox, and it's the first custom I ordered, and had made to my specifications. That one also came my way in 2004.

And how is it that you, who has learned me so much in the knife world, found the thread after me

I do not know, Rob!! Quite the failing on my part, I must admit!

Again, exercising restraint, only two today. I have a thing for bowies. I've been that way since forever, and it only grew stronger when I got into Cowboy Action Shooting a quarter-century ago.

The first is one of my oldest, a Buffalo Spirit by "Cable" Joe Allen out of Indiana. The second is one of my newest, (relatively speaking), a stag-handled beauty from Craig Camerer of Illinois.
