My business is in the Bronx . . . I am there every day . . . the ability to weaponize these tools is not unnoticed!

I was so impressed by Jim14’s knife (I own a number of tool knives boating, hiking etc but I’m not a “collector”) that I looked up the company he mentioned (Direware) and was so impressed that I picked this one up for no reason other than I just had to ha...
Nice
I'm not in knives, can you please explain me what the notches on the top are for?
Thats one beautiful Knife . Not a big knife kinda guy but since i saw a masterpiece from Emmanuel Esposito in person at Baselworld 2019 .
I really hope to be able to visit his atelier and try to order one at some point Pic from IG ...
Nice to see more knife posts mixed in
I see similarities in both the watch and knife game. The craftsmanship of steel and other exotic materials are prerequisites for both. Who couldn't appreciate that?
That’s why I love this forum...
Always something new to appreciate...especially all the great people on it ...talk about an oasis!😁
Thank you and...
I love Cats!!! Only with us in spirit now...the ultimate collection...in fact I think they owned us😻😻😻 ...
I was impressed with the knife too. Then I saw the price tag and I ran away!
Very nice knife! I don't go camping anymore, so I'm never carrying a knife anymore. I guess I could still get one and open all my Amazon and department store packages with it...
It’s amazing how well the K-Bar was designed...
It’s all you really need but if you try sometimes you can also get what you want😉
Well, all I can say is you have very good taste in knives...
...and wine. Verite is my personal favorite wine brand in all of California! I especially like their "La Muse" Merlot.
Hmm... I had it with some rib eye steak, it was very nice...
Others had a nice Cabernet Sauvignon, but I had inspected the meat earlier and while it was nicely aged and tender, it wasn't overly fatty, thus not in need of a Cabernet Sauvignon.
I am rather surprised by the amount of knives collectors there are
They look rather pretty, I wonder if you actually use them and if yes when?
The knife collecting started when I needed one every day . . .
I have always been attracted to collecting and when I started working in the Fulton Fish Market in the 90's, I needed to carry a pocket knife to open boxes, cut straps, etc. I also had to use knives to fillet fish of course. At one point, I had a "folder"...
I grew up in Manhattan...
I have training (see below) the flipper is smooth but the knife is heavy. Any knife or sharp instrument can be weaponized but this would not be a first choice but a lot better than nothing.
I am a martial artist (Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Kenpo)
I also have Kali and tactical knife fighting. Knives are specific instruments that can all be weaponized if necessary but a camping knife is big and heavy and tactical knives are light and sharp. The Direware is IMO more for show although because it’s a f...
