Benchmade Kulgera (Osborne 930) with black and blue G10
And I'd like to thank Dale for starting this thread. I've been ignoring my blades since I started modding flashlights.
My knives are all over the place...lost and misplaced. Today I got off my ass and started organizing my knives. I half heartedly started this project two years ago and got side tracked.
Hopefully I'll hhave this finished by the end of the week, and find knives that have been misplaced and forgotten.
Nice black on black, to bad the lock is silver. A MiniGrip 555(HG) was my first good knife, carried it a few years, I’ve also gifted mini-grip’s to some of my friends.
For some reason all the sudden I was to get a PM2 (tho not bad enough to sell anything else) which is weird cause I used to hate them.
Wow man nice collection, I especially like that little 480-1 Shoki! Pretty rare blade now days. I spent a few months searching for one including asking my contact at BM, he was able to find me one NIB at a dealer but the place wanted so much for it I passed and bought my sebbi instead.
...and no, you don't have to be a sailor or a commercial fisherman to carry one of these.
I mostly carry it at my northern cottage, and it would be especially handy in rural environs. I have several. You can get this type of knife for as low as $10 (not this one). The wharncliff blade is great for cutting rope, water pump hosing, pruning etc. And I do use that slot for loosening shackles.
But the best part is the marlin spike. Designed for loosening knots and mending nets, it does more than that. Poking, shimming, digging, gouging, just what we all need. How often have you messed up a blade because you needed to pry something and the proper tool wasn't at hand. This spike is indestructible. The perfect tool.
The blade and the marlin spike both have their own seperate frame locks.
Today was a Strider clone day. Looks exactly like a Strider, right down to the Bos heat treated flame logo. Cost less than $17. Seen here hanging out with my Texas Poker.
