Okay, I'll play. This is my Old-Skool US Divers Aqua Lung divers knife. Put her next to a tape so you can get some scale. Though if I'm diving with a buddy I take a smaller folding knife. But when I dive solo she's strapped to my right leg.  Once had to cut myself out of an old fishing net on a wreck off Devon (A flaming pox on the bastard fishermen that left it there!!!) Took a bit of effort (and a fair bit of my Air) but she got the Job done. |

Gerber DMF Tactical Folder with partially serrated tanto blade, G-10 ambidextrous handle, reversible clip, wedge lock, and attitude adjusting pommel. Nice. I love the look of Tanto blades. Is the wedge lock similar to Benchmade's Axis lock? I think Spyderco has something similar called a Ball lock. Same idea though of a spring loaded switch on the handle. |

From what I can find it certainly appears so, at least from Benchmade's description of the Axis. |

Yep, I wipe her with a little olive oil after each dive. Any rust that pops up is removed with Sandpaper, hence the scatches you can see on her. Your right though, sea waters a bitch. Here's an old Royal Navy Issue dive watch I found near the wreck of the "Countess of Erne" As you can see its heavyly Wadi'ed lol! Mind you I think she's rather cool, what about you?  Citizen Promaster & Seiko 6309 for scale............. |

Lots of miscellaneous blades around but these are the more unusual ones:  A mini Kukarri  A cooking cleaver that became a shingle froe  Some kind of old 'buck' knife from the 1930s  A machete that I found hidden in a wall when tearing down an old horse barn. It was covered in a dark brown substance that I'm pretty sure was not paint!   A 'small' bush knife my father used originally while in the military and later in the garden for weed control. It is stamped with 'Legitimus Collins 1948'. The leather sheath was added later as it is marked 'Montreal 1948'. There are many others but they just sort of hung showed up and hung around as I'm not really a collector  |

That Stars and Stripes Damascus Sebenza is GORGEOUS! OMG, I'd be so afraid to carry it though.

Damnit..... I lost my post......... Your knifes are amazing and my small collection pales to some of yours! This is my VERY favorite knife and when Buck was located in Ca. I bought it from one of the owners at cost as he was a friend of mine............  The others are a small sampling of what I own...... I also have a Rubber handled Kershaw that I use for camping and a couple of other small Buck knifes one of which is a small brushed steel folder and another one is a Brass trimmed folder. I cant find the damn things tho! cussing1.gif The small Bone handled one is a knife I had as a kid growing up and the Kershaw Spring assist is a gift from my friend Peter....... Brand new in perfect shape! thunbsup.gif  |

I'll need to dig the rest of mine out... The Emerson CQC design has been my primary carry knife for the better part of almost 20 years. I've owned and ultimately destroyed a couple Benchmade/Emerson CQC7 ...Just great all around blades IMHO. Currently I'm carrying a new CQC that was given to me by Ernie himself a few years ago at a Law Enforcement training seminar. Current EDC setup.....save for the watch which fluctuates daily    |

Hey I'm new to these folding knifes, growing up in the Australian Bush I only needed a skinning blade in my kit bag or a machete when chasing pigs through the Mulga, so a question on this folding knife, what's an "attitude adjusting pommel" looking at the pommel i could not see any form of adjustment......is it as the name implies for adjusting someones attitude whip.gif |

To understand it better, imagine a kangaroo is charging towards you for no good reason, maybe he's after your Fosters. You don't want to just kill the little bastard with the machete so you give him a nice bomp on the head with the pommel one of these. He'll wake up the next morning with nothing more than headache thinking he successfully made off with your Fosters. happy1 |
