Another Gerber tactical number, from 1980-ish....
My favorite "camp knife" is this Cold Steel Trailmaster
Gorgeous knife....looks like it`s a pleasure to use ! Burled elm on those scales ? What steel was used ?Hi all. I too (besides Audio gear) collect Knives (Axes/Hatchets) etc. Here is a pix of my (one of a kind) Custom Brian Efros Canadian (style) Belt Knife. I've since had new darker exotic Wood scales and fancy Pins (re-done by Brian) since I got this knife. I think she's a looker! http://brianefrosknives.com/blog/wp...065_682171328506918_6546590172150619674_n.jpg

Serving our military with pride for 3/4 of a century !My favorite knife, hands down. Gave one to my stepson as well. Ka-Bar
Looks like a decent valued starter sword.Santa brought me a Katana for Christmas !
It`s a Chenness Kaze`, created by the old-school method, hammered in the forge, differentially heat-treated using clay, has a nice hamon (temper line), and is quite sharp right out of the box.

Cheness is based in La Jolla. One of my former students in iaido helped with the cutting evaluations.
Be safe and try to get some good instruction if you plan to cut with it.
No, that topic is OK, but there`s already some good info archived over in the Cooking & Spirits Thread :What about sharpening...in a knife thread?
Thinking of some water stones. Maybe a three stone set with 400, 1000, and 3000 grit, or?
Mostly kitchen knives, fillet knives, and occasionally a pocket knife or two.
(Or start a new thread?)
^^^ That is so beautiful!
