These are a few of our favorite knives.
Cold Steel Spartan. Obviously a monster of a knife with possibly the strongest lock found on a production knife.
Boker Subcom:
Cold Steel Recon 1. Great for weekend carry.
Favorite neck knife:
And my wifes knife:
Very nice collection of knives you have there. 
Nice collection, love the Spartan, wish they were a little cheaper this side of the pond...
Uhm.. what do you use a neck knife for? Seems to be for killing only.
Nah, it could be used for self defense but around here it is a great box/package opener. Its actually an extremely small knife it just looks huge in the photo, the cutting edge is about an inch, maybe a hair over. Just a little over 3" overall.
Haha, the question is, what do you use the Spartan for? I've always found knives that big excessive (for what I do at least).
Awesome collection! I just got my first Cold Steel today! Love it so far!
The Spartan is just for fun and for looks. I have carried it but it is a little large for constant pocket carry sometimes. When I carry it now it is in a belt case that I picked up at a gunshow that works very well.
What's your point?
I like your wifes knife
i was gonna say i like the bottom 2 , actually they all are nice

Here's a close-up of the San Mai III Recon Tanto's blade, showing the laminated steel clearly. The line is the transition between the VG-1 and the cladded 'softer' steel:
Hey Chicago, want to sell me your San Mai III master hunter? I REALLY want one! For the price Walmart has it listed on their site (USA site) I would pay double here. Not happening. :(
Sure, NP. I'll shoot you a PM.
No point there, just curious. Seemed to me like a knife you would use to give a shot animal the final "push". But as its rather small.. just wondered about the unusual form.^^
Do they have a specific name?
Ironically, a "push knife" or "push dagger."
Truely ironic! :D
Too bad I cant carry anything larger than a Victorinox.. its even illegal to just own a push dagger here.
Are you allowed locking knives, or slipjoint only?
Can you carry fixed-blade knives below a certain blade length ? (e.g: 10cm)
Locking yes, but none that can be opened with one hand only. Blade never over 12cm. No daggers at all.
No fun at all to be had in Germania, I guess. Can you at least carry around large honking axes?
I get weird looks when carrying them around because I wear an ice hockey mask for protection..^^
Actually axes are allowed, but some people get nervous when you carry them around. I once walked around with a friend of mine, carrying axes and a chainsaw. We had just picked them up from another friend and had to pick up sth. else from another place, so we walked around a bit, wearing normal clothes, no work suit. When we were on our way back, we saw a police car. Dont know if it was a coincidence but someone also called the cops when I was walking around on jumping stilts with a friend in a nearby park, so..^^
Its just different over here. You cant even own shuriken.. I'm no fan of guns because of the huge amount of dead people (no discussion pls^^) so I wouldnt want the american way of handling weapons, but a little more relaxed would be nice. Some things like dagger, shuriken, katana, trident just look great and would be nice to have hanging on the wall. Katanas/swords in general can be owned, but they have to be blunt.
