Dusty: Good thinking. The assorted items can become very necessary in a survival-type situation. I like to carry a magnesium and flint fire-starter among my pocket or pouch possibles.. Water, fire, shelter, food.

Jack said:”I don’ think I have ever left my home since I was 12 years old that I did not have at least one good blade and usually more than one. I do not believe you can over blade”… My thoughts, experience, and policy likewise. Each knife has it’s purpose and possible usage… and use them I do.

i have them all , all custom , including the Pohl MK-9 HeartStopper , Custom !

i still have a numbered FARID First Blood i commissioned years ago , i will keep it for my entire life , best blade i ever bought !

wich model ?

HAHAHAHA ….”ninja turtle cheap knife”

you dont know SOG history isnt ? do somes research about it before spitting anything you dont know a iota at ! I dont talk about SOG made in china or taiwan stuff (even made with AUS-8 tempered steel) but i point the early Seki Japan stuff made of SK-5 (Seki High Carbon V steel)

…maybe he simply wanted to explain that BECAUSE of Jimmy’s First Blood Part I-II knives he helped the custom industry a lot ! The custom industry was almost dead when the mass audience seen the first knife in 1982 , that was a punch in the face that never stop growing since…

Thank you J. WELLS… I was just searching on GOOGLE and came Back to this site. I read everyone’s posts who has posted.

And I agree with your post 1000%!! Plus, I see that you like a lot of the knifemakers, and their hollow handles, that I do!!
