One of my other hobbies (and an endless pit) is knives , specifically custom local knives :) we have some amazing makers that make top class custom knives. If anyone is interested I can hook you up :) not a sales pitch please just a passion for anything locally made.

Started on the productions like Spyderco , Benchmade , CRKT but it is all relative as with vaping mods as well it seems LOL

Below is a pic of my modest collection (starting from left) :

Top : Benchmade 940 & BM 710 (the classic)

Middle : Spyderco Military S90V CF (keeper) , Spyderco PM2 with custom scales , Spyderco Delica , JD Ellis Slipjoint wharncliff , Spyderco Atlantic Salt (great for fishing trips the H1 steel does not rust) , Spyderco Sage 1 CF , Jason Guthrie #2 prototype Ranger

Bottom : CRKT Hi-Jinx (Ken Onion design , CRKT's first attempt at a more higher end mid-tech) , Three Sisters Forge Beast (my hard use little beast).

CRKT are awesome blades

It took me a year and a half to find an s-blade butterfly and finally found one in DBN
 
My hobby is knifemaking......but I am 5 months behind on orders, only make about five a month, all I get time for.

If you dont mind could you PM some pics of your blades?

What has been the most challenging blade you have made thus far?
 
Hi @BhavZ, most challenging was a sword I made for a German customer. Nowadays I only make folding knives, love the challenge, linerlock and lockback, sometimes the occasional hunting knive.

Below are a few pics, sorry for the quality.

Regards..
