Still got the pic in my gallery from the last time we showed off our blades.
I used to carry the Gerber until my Dad gave me the Benchmade. Now I carry the Benchmade. I abuse my knives pretty heavily at work so they'er always dirty. But I try to keep them sharp enough that they don't become a hazard (a dull knife is a dangerous knife).
I also carry a multi-tool whenever I am camping/backpacking.

These are my two favorites. They're both custom from a knifemaker out of New York. I really dig his style. They're beefy and functional.

My main blade is an SOG Seal Pup. It takes a lot of abuse and never rusts.
It's actually smaller than it looks.. 4 1/2" blade and pretty light at 5 ounces.
Though I've had it for years and it's starting to show its abuse.
I also have a $12 carbon Mora knife which is pretty awesome for general bushcraft type stuff and more delicate things.
It's amazing for such a cheap knife. Thing gets ridiculously sharp and holds its edge for a while.
I can't help but plug them - http://www.swedishknives.com/
I also have a folding blade Gerber but I like never use it anymore. I just prefer a fixed blade above anything else.

This thread inspired me to decide it was time to buy a new knife.
I was trying to decide between a Fallkniven F1 and a Bark River Bravo 1
After hours and hours of exhaustive research I decided on the F1. Got it here
Woot. Can't wait until that bad boy gets here.
If it's good enough for pilots of the Swedish Air Force, it's good enough for me.

third is a '61 Tapio Wirkkala Puukko, cold steel makes one just like it now
bottom is another cheap but decent knife, great for every day use
I have an ass load more but I'm not planning on digging them out

I got this for Christmas
http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=product.detail&productID=3044
I also have an "old timer" that's a lot like this, but with a green handle and old/rusted slightly...
and I've got a multi tool thing that works well, folds out to scissors, has some other stuff, not entirely useful, but not useless.
one love.

Cold Steel Night Force. It's teflon coated  I should have gotten a powder coated version, but the knife is great anyway. Cold Steel makes a great knife.

So I've had my Fallkniven F1 for a day or two now and I gotta say this thing is a beast and a half for a 4 inch blade.
It came razor sharp out of the box, like sharp enough to shave with it.
Thing has a super thick (5mm) tapered spine, to a scandi edge. And with a hardness of 59 HRC, Laminated VG10 steel..
Last night I batoned some small logs with it.. it went through oak and birch like butter. Then I sliced some tomatoes.. paper thin.
Didn't notice any noticeable difference in the edge after that. thing held its edge like a champ, haven't had to sharpen it yet.
I am definitely super satisfied with this blade, was definitely well worth $100. Hopefully it lasts me the rest of my life.
So I got nothing but good things to say about Fallkniven.
I'm thinking about buying another larger survival knife from them for more heavy duty stuff, like the A2
But I'm thinking I should be ok with this blade and my Gransfors Bruks axe, between those two and a small hand saw, that should be able to handle most wilderness tasks. Though a spare badass blade can't hurt..

Shroom, that is a really nice knife, I like the simplicity of it.
I was checking out that website and they have some awesome knives on there, I like the A1.
Did you have it shipped to the US?
How long did it take?

I got it shipped from a US company that has them in stock, so it only took a couple days, standard shipping.
http://www.knifeworks.com/ - they carry a lot of good brands.
I think I'm totally sold on Fallkniven. Though I've heard some really good things about Bark River also.

just got this gerber LMF piece. this thing is no joke. i love it but its definitely not an everyday knife.
http://www.gerber-tools.com/Gerber-LMF-II-22-01629.htm
everyday blade is more like a kershaw leek in flat black if no the chive. also have the kershaw Blur, but thats more like a backup pack.

My thoughts exactly, I carry a Kershaw Chive or maybe its the scallion, I forget. Whichever is the bigger one. But it is perfect size and the spring loaded blade is awesome.

I used to collect tons of knives when i was a kid. I had shy of a hundred at any given time.
Gave/lost most away over the years,and about 6 were taken by the Fuzz when i was younger on an aggravated assault charge,hah
I was given two Mtechs today. Not into the tactical shit,but they were free.
cheap,but well made little blades.
heres the ones that were close by, there's probably another 10 or more around the house.
The Kbar is original,and was giving to me when i was a kid. Guy that gave it to me had a picture of his uncle or something( who's knife it was) holding that knife and a severed asian head in the other hand.
It goes with me to the fucking grave.
The rusty original Buffalo Skinner is my second favorite. It was my gramps since he was a youngin'. One of the nice Old german made ones.
other than that,just your typical shit. Some real real old, new,ect.
I found the little brass one on the road walking home from school in like 7th grade. When i screwed the handle off i found some meth,hah,.

I've got a SOG Trident 2.0, a Precise Deerslayer, and a Victorinox Swiss army knife (this thing has saved my ass more times than I can count, and it looks it). Only one I bought was the SOG, the swiss army knife was a gift from my dad when I was 11, the deerslayer was a gift from a friend when I moved across the country (a year ago)
Not a collector at all, but I really like my blades 
Here they are:
Heres a better one of the SOG (from the website)
Ive got a wicked axe as well, but thats in my car and I dont feel like getting it.

Post Your Blade
Well it's kind of a personal question and I don't know what it's got to do with hiking and such but here's mine.
--------------------
"People convince themselves of their own lies, becoming victims of their own inventions as they begin to direct their lives by standards of behavior, ideas, feelings, or instincts which do not correspond to their inner reality. What is truly serious in this matter is that the individual loses all points of reference regarding what comprises truth, and what comprises lies. He becomes used to considering as true only that which is convenient for his personal interests; everything that is in opposition to his self-esteem or in conflict with already established prejudices, he considers false."

I had a really badass handmade knife I got from a Hawaiian native. It had a very cool blade design, held it's edge like no knife I've ever had, and really cool lizards painted into the handle.
Then it got jacked from my tent at a bonfire while I was taking a leak.
I've got a nice ass Fiskars axe, like this one but all black, nice and stealthy

Just bought a Falkniven DC4 sharpener to carry in my pack. Its 2 sided with a fine (25u) diamond grit shaping side, and a ceramic/sapphire polishing side. It is 4 inches long and comes in a nice little leather pouch.
For home sharpening I have a set of Japanese water stones (800, 1200, and 6000 grit, and a nagura stone for working up a slurry on the polishing stone) that are just out of this world.
In the near future I am picking up a combo set from Fehrman knives. I am getting the bigass Final judgement, and a smaller Peacemaker. The Peacemaker has a Firebow bearing in the handle which is a nice little add-on. They are both made with CPM-3V carbon steel, hardened to 57-59 Rc. (I am getting the satin finish, I have never liked black blades)

Damn, my gas (gear acquisition syndrome) just got the better of me and I bought a sweet-ass new knife. Its a Fallkniven PXL folder. My camera doesn't seem to be working right now so here is a pic from the website:
The thing is a beast! The specs are:
Total length: 165 mm
Length folded: 111 mm
Blade length: 88 mm
Blade thickness: 3.50 mm
Weight (knife): 176 grams
Steel: 3G - laminated powder steel
Hardness: 62 HRC
Handle material: Ivory Micarta
Locking: Liner lock
Absolutely beautiful.

I just lost my spyderco endura wave my first day in Colorado. I am used to hearing when something falls out of my pocket. Damn snow.
Now I am down to a kershaw scallion and a benchmade mini griptillian. Both are great knives and so was my spyderco. I hope whoever found it appreciates it.

Fehrman Hoodhunter
SOG Trident 2.0
Bark River Aurora
Precise Deer Slayer
Victorinox Rucksack
Victorinox Swiss Champ
Fallkniven DC4

Both the Fehrman and the Busse came with Kydex Sheaths.
I like the grommets in the sheaths as this allows me to remove the belt loop and bungee the Busse to my pack as it is a bit too heavy to haul around on the belt.

It's basically a small machete, weighted for throwing. The sheath and handle are some kind of hide, probably goat or lion.

iv held a badass knife before, but it struck me only when i was holding it - what can i do with this?
so i threw it into a gum tree out the front a few times, it was pretty fun, but other than that, what do you guys do with all your badass knives?
and don't say cooking, because the majority of those blades didn't look like they were for cooking...im talking about those rly badass tactical ones

While not exactly a tactical knife (technically a "survival blade") my Fallkniven definitely falls under the category of bad-fucking-ass.
I've abused the fuck out this knife since I got it and still shows hardly any signs of wear and tear aside from some scratches on the side.
I have used it for:
- Cutting rope
- Cutting branches
- Batoning (small-medium sized) logs
- Cutting fucking anything (it holds a RAZOR sharp edge)
- Whittling
- Cooking - I can slice tomatoes paper thin with this thing
- I don't hunt but I'm damn sure this thing could skin pretty much any animal like butter.
- Cleaning fish up
Only thing I haven't done is throw this thing at trees.
Even though I know the edge could more than take it,
I have this phobia about fucking up the tips of my blades for some reason.
But a good survival knife should be able to handle just about any damn thing you throw at it.

It's not stainless, only stain resistant. It's a Japanese yanagi (sashimi) blade, which I have used heavily and maintained for 3 years now.
It keeps well, as long as you clean and dry it after you're done using it. I have kept it in nearly mint condition (except for dropping it once  )
Shroomism is correct, it is a high carbon steel

high carbon steel blades are the shit.. especially for kitchen duties they can't really be beat. And especially real japanese steel.
Yeah they can rust, if you don't take good care of them. But they get RAZOR sharp and hold their edge much, much better than stainless.

Frost Cutlery makes some really nice carbon blades, dirt cheap.
A lot of bushcraft people swear by them, for their primary light/medium-duty blade.
I was thinking of picking up a couple Moras.. my last one got lost but it was an amazing little sharp knife
And at $15 each, with a sheath.. you can't beat that.
Carbon steel, razor sharp, high quality knife, but cheap enough that you can lose and not really worry about it.

I carry a Frost Mora as a compliment to my usual carry when in the bush (a modified buck 119 special).
Mora knives are excellent cutting tools that can accomplish most tasks required of it in a survival situation. The scandy grind is what makes these knives so amazingly reliable; within a minute you can have a figure four deadfall carved out and still have time to set it up. And this particular grind is far easier to sharpen when in the bush.
The only drawback is the tang: 
But, for the price you can get no better blade. Highly recommended by me.

Nope. For every day use, I have no problem with other than full tang designs, on a well built knife. But when you are out in the bush, full-tang is a must.
If the handle breaks on a short tang, it will be difficult and annoying to try and fasten a new handle.
Besides, I feel more confident in a full tang, solid blade.

Yeah that's why I carry my badass Fallkniven F1 as my primary blade. Also made in Sweden, it's the "official survival knife" of the Swedish Air Force.
Scandi edge, full tang, Laminated VG10 steel, 59 HRC hardness rating, Thermorun handle.. 8" blade.. 4.5 mm thickness tapered.. thing is a beast.
The mora makes an amazing complement to any setup though, even in the bush. Since it's so cheap I just get like 3 of them to have backups.
I use it more for my general duty abuse stuff when I don't want to abuse the blade on my F1, even though it can handle just about anything, I like to keep it razor sharp for when I need a REAL knife.

The mora makes an amazing complement to any setup though, even in the bush. Since it's so cheap I just get like 3 of them to have backups.
I use it more for my general duty abuse stuff when I don't want to abuse the blade on my F1, even though it can handle just about anything, I like to keep it razor sharp for when I need a REAL knife.
The F1 is Hands down one of the best "survival" blades out there.
I actually have this guy on order right now, can't wait till it arrives

Yeah I did a LOT of research before buying it. My choice was between the F! and a Bark River for a long time, but I eventually went with the F1.
never tried them but they (bark river) are supposed to be some of the best blades out there for bushcraft and other stuff,
and made in america for people that actually give a shit about that sort of thing

I still think my Fallkniven is the best all around knife I've ever owned though, hands down.

Its a really nice knife... The blades sharpness has held for months without needing to be re-sharpened, it flips out extremely fast, and the grip is tailored perfectly for my grip (although its not custom or anything). All in all a very, very reliable knife

I like the Kukri style one someone posted, just like the Ghurkas used... kinda.
I don't know if this counts, but this is one of my favorite blades. It's a North Korean Kalashnikov bayonet, no wire cutter like many Eastern European AK bayonets. Yet it isn't one of the early issue North Korean AK bayonets.
but it isn't exactly made for camping.... so I prefer the Spyderco there.
I have a great condition full length M1 Garand bayonet, dated 1942, and a nice K98 bayonet from the third reich era. as well as several other Kalashnikov bayonets et cetera.... The Garand bayonet is one of my favorite 'collectible' type bayonets.

partial-tang knives get a bad rap. there are a lot of trash knives out there with partial tangs that simply won't hold up to reasonable use, but that does not mean that the tang style is the flaw. there are a great number of full tang and full length hidden tang knives out there which aren't worth a shit too.
i've made several partial tang knives which lived up to all the abuse i've put them too.

i've gotten into knifemaking a lot more since last year.
i figured i'd post some of my hand made blades:
my finish work on this one is pretty terrible as of the time i took the picture, but i had a lot of fun making this one:
it was a salvaged and reworked blade from another knife which had been broken though.
i need to get an anvil in the worst way. stock removal alone just isn't enough fun.

Very cool... homemade knives. They look great... a while back I became interested in the subject, and tried several times to get into a basic knifemaking course being held at the local community college, but each time, it was booked full, and I've become a bit too busy since. It looks like a good hobby.... alot of work, but worthwhile.

basic knifemaking can be done quite easily in a home workshop/garage, without the need for too many tools. of course, some tools make the work far easier, but i can get a piece of steel stock cut into a knife sized bar on my table saw, ground to the profile on a bench grinder, bevels ground in on a cheap disk sander, surfaces ground smooth with the same sander and hardening done in a simple charcoal forge i made from coffee cans and some mud in a couple of hours. quench done in a can of motor oil and tempering in a kitchen oven takes another couple of hours [passively], and a good, basic hardwood handle pinned and glued on, then shaped on the grinder and hand finished in a further couple of hours.
it's the sort of thing that can be done in a little spare time over a couple of days, and the basics are easy. getting fancy is a different story, i don't think i'll ever be done learning to do that 
for a small blade, heating for the hardening can even be done with a mapp torch or weed dragon.

I used to have a knife which was very similar to this, but I don't know where it went.
The teeth were a bit more pronounced, and did not run the length of the blade.
It had a compass at the end of the handle, which unscrewed to open a little compartment.
Inside was a kit of fishing line, waterproof matches, hooks, and a few other bits and bobs.
Blade was at least 8", and the sheath had a little pocket for the whetting stone.

Very nice Buck knife.
Here are some of my others blades...
A Gurka Kukri Knife, with the two smaller skinning knives.
the Spyderco 'Police' blade...
and a Swiss Bayonet for a SIG STGw57 Rifle. 9.5 inch blade, 14.5 inches overall.
Here are two different Kalashnikov Bayonets on my Kalashnikov. The first one is North Korean military, and the second one is Bulgarian.
I hope the photos work....
I haven't yet edited the photos I have of my 1942 dated M1 Garand Bayonet, or my German K98 Bayonet... or my several other Kalashnikov Bayonets from various countries. I also need to get a photo of my Buck knife.

First post for me! This has been my favorite carry knife; under $35 too. Made by Boker, called Kalishnikov.
This knife has to be earned. I never use it, it will become a family heirloom. If any of you know what it is I will be very impressed.

lol that's a piece of crap, and you way overpaid for it.
infinity money says that thing's a piece of crap 420 stainless made in china that's not even worth 5 bucks.
you shoulda checked out my thread in the marketplace, at least i'm selling some knives that are respectable and at 1/3 the cost.
the most you should've paid for that knife is 10 dollars, even though i wouldn't buy it for 1.

Meh Im from Saskatchewan and its the first time I seen a switch since there illegal back home so the buy was a bit impulsive 
, Ill easily be able to sell it for the same amount. I know some people who would love a little blade like this.
Mind sending me a link to your knives?
and its 440 BTW

This has been my only non-kitchen blade for going on 12+ years:

After careful consideration my new bush knife is a heavy butcher knife from the kitchen.
its at least 90% as good as the most popular large bush knives such as; cold steel trailmaster, ontario marine raider, kabar BK9 etc.
IMO the kabar BK9 is just an overpriced, glorified butcher knife.
butcher knives are cheeeeeeap especially second hand, and many have thick blades with high carbon steel.
i found it very interesting when i later read that prior to the 1900's most everyone used a butcher knife for out in the bush. a common name is "trade knives."
on anothet note, i have decided that large knived are the most versatile bush tools for the weight.
an axe and small knife are a close second, heres how i figure;
big knife can do anything a small one can for survival.
big knife can chop and split adequately, albeit not as well as an axe, but still well enough.
big knife is lighter.
big knife is better for defense against wild animals, and can make a formidable spear.
i think a big knife + portable saw is an awesome bush combo thats very hard to beat for versatility and weight.
PS i think proper kukris are extremely good bush knives, maybe the best. im thinking of getting one... from nepal, all of the domestic ones are either low quality or way overpriced.
i like how they have small knife, sharpener, and often flint built into the sheath... whole package.

When I was in Australia some locals took me pig hunting. They run the wild pigs down with dogs and then kill the pig with a knife to the heart. All of the guys who did this used their wives old kitchen knives as their weapon of choice to kill the pig. They would just sharpen both sides of the blade so it was like a stiletto and then shove all 10-12 inches up under the pigs haunches into the heart, give it a little twist, and just hold on while the pig bled out. Pretty gory, but very effective.
My point, an old kitchen knife works fine for many applications.

BUMP!
I got this set at a pawn shop for 30 bucks. The blade emblem reads "Cobra, Hunter II" and the other side of the blade reads "Brasil" I can't find much about em, but I like the weight of the big one, it has good swing momentum. The paint job on the sheath is my own doing, based on Navajo bead work.

Indeed they do. The only problem with most kitchen knives is they fall apart pretty quickly when subjected to too much abuse.

"that's not a knife. this is a knife."
didn't take a picture of the sheath, but it's awesome. since the blade is curved, the knife naturally locks into it. to release it, you just pull the handle back and the angle's just right. my dad found it years ago hidden away in an abandoned sailboat that was going to be destroyed. he gave it to me. my prized possession. it's handmade and solid. it's got some characters inscribed into the handle and sheath. i'm not sure of the language.

My Wilkinson, believe it's 1917, Cavalry Officer's Blade. Just researching reconditioning etc, want to get it gleaming. Scabbard is all original leather, with all straps in tact, a lovely thing to hold.

Any idea what that shape/type of knife is called?
Way back in the day, when I was a teen, I used to play Everquest and they had weapons like this. Not long after, I went to a market somewhere and saw one but didn't have a chance to check it out.
I've always wanted one.

That's all I require.
I LOVE it. Inherited from my grandfather, he was a squadron leader in WWII, his squadron presented it to him, he had been offered several promotions that would have meant he could stop flying bombing missions and move to training recruits instead. He refused several times as he did not want to abandon his brothers. He was a navigator, great man. RIP.

Yes it definitely adds some gravitas to it. I want to try and find out who it was issued to originally, it has a serial number and was a military commission so there must be a log/record of who it was made for.
I think my grandfather received it after the war (circa 1946) as a thank you from his boys. But it must have been somewhere for 30ish years before that, I have a vague recollection of him telling me it was originally from South Africa, though made in England, presumably some officer had cut down a few thousand "savages" with a Gatling gun and was awarded an honour, I dread to think actually.
But it will be interesting to find out nonetheless.

Just got back from a weekend festival.
The morning of the second day I was walking along the road at the campgrounds to find some staff and I found this on the side of the road:
That's not a picture of the actual blade. The one I found is the same color with the same sheath, but it looks like it has been run over by a car. The sheath is messed up, but the knife seems in perfect condition despite some dirt.

Cold sterl kukiri is nice, but WAY overpriced.
IMO i would buy a genuine Nepalise one off ebay, the ones i saw there looked like a great value.

Ill have too look into that. Yes cold steel is way over priced. The kukiri I have of there's is 1055 high carbon and it was 20$. I have beat the he'll out of it and it still throws and cuts like a beast.

I almost got a folding CRTK recently. I opted for the KA_BAR instead. They would have been the same price so I got the KA_BAR.
I like the story of how it got its name. There is a legend that it was from a letter written by a fur trapper that ad to use it to kill a bear. The letter was only partially legible with the phrase Kill a Bear reading as someting like KA-BAR.

I cleaned the blade off and put the sheath through the wash.
It looks like it's hardly been used.

Hmm. Im trying to decide whether this would be too big to carry on a trip. We'd be going mostly by train and id have to open carry since it is too large to conceal.
I plan on spending a good portion in the Appalachian mountains and can see it being a very useful tool. What sold me on it was when he said you could use it to chop wood if need be. It does have the weight.
What do you guys think?

I carved two yaag drasil runes for protection into the handle.
May they protect me so I never have to use the knife as a weapon.

Yes. It can be knapped to be sharper than a surgical scalpel.
I've always wondered. How do you actually attach the obsidian to the handle? Are you only using sinew? It doesn't seem like it would be strong enough for any serious cutting.

Knives like that were used to cut food, skins, butcher animals, carve things, too much pressure downward pressure and the edge breaks.

Yes, I've knapped and worked with obsidian while practicing wilderness survival.
Sinew still doesn't seem like it would be secure enough, but maybe I am just mistaken.

Those obsidian knifes should have pine sap glue in the antler slots, as well as thoroughly soaking and encompassing the wrap. ...or they are gonna rattle loose with a little wear and tear.

Don’t just keep ones head down and ones pace steady, look behind to make sure there’s no trail of destruction. Consider that the things below ones feet in physicality, are actually above ones head in importance. Remember that we are not the only ones alive, and are definitely not depended upon to continue living. We are an expendable creature in the eyes of the earth. Thus, we must treat ourselves like we are guests. Accommodations must be made for life all over the planet. The power of life is incredibly diverse, intelligent, and intricate in its adaptability. Lets not give nature a reason to consume us in turn.

Or you can cheat and use epoxy. Not that I ever cheated at anything in my life...
anyway; soaked and prestretched sinew can dry to a very tight fit. rawhide can do similarly well. you do have to thoroughly waterproof it though, it it'll stretch back out when it absorbs moisture.

these were my knives(all sold) and i use epoxy to glue them into the slots carved out. i then use synthetic sinew to wrap the contact area. this is the way most knappers do it these days, for practicality and time saving. the traditional way was to use pine sap, deer shit, and charcoal all ground up and melted into a paste which is then wrapped around a stick to be stored as a glue stick. the sinew was then actually needed to keep the glue from falling apart. i'll be making them both ways from now on, with the sap glue commanding a higher price. i doubt i'll use real sinew ever though.

I just picked up a couple more Mora knives
If you don't have one I highly recommend. Cheap knives, $10-15 but the quality is fucking incredible.
Scandi edge carbon steel blades, very good for general tasks, stay sharp as a motherfucker, and you don't mind really using them because they are so cheap, but also extremely durable.
Seriously $15. Awesome all purpose knives

The most I've ever spent on a knife is ~100 on my Fallkniven F1, and it was worth every penny.
It's my primary carry in the wilderness and moras are my backup, but shit.. I usually end up using the mora more often.

I just got back from my trip. At the beginning I was worried about the size of the kabar being overkill, but it was worth every inch and the 70 bucks I paid for it. I was able to cut down long branches for the fire the width of baseball bats quickly and easily. I ate with it and used it for numerous things. It was so useful. On a lot of forums I heard people t talking down large fixed blades for survival/bush/campcraft applications but I wouldnt want anything less than a kabar as my primary field knife.
This thing rocks.

Ya Kabars are beast. A good 7-9" fixed blade is good for certain tasks.. mainly splicing wood and branches and whatnot like you said.
I think some of the hardcore bushcraft people don't like them mainly due to the sheer size/weight, as with a good smaller bushcraft/survival knife you can do pretty much everything.
My F1 only has a 4" blade, but it's thick as hell (4.5mm) and VG10 laminated steel, full tang.. it slices through wood like butter
For thicker wood I always carry a Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe and a Sven Folding Saw..
Between those three tools I can process wood like no other. Axe is awesome for processing wood with way less effort than a knife.
But yeah, each different tool excels in different areas and has their place for certain applications.
I certainly won't knock a kabar as a knife is a knife pretty much, and they can do some hefty tasks.
Me personally, for processing wood I'll take my axe and saw over a knife any day just due to the sheer ease,
but my survival blade is freaking awesome for splitting wood as well, even with only a 4" blade

get what feels right for you...
By skill: I could be a scoutmaster.
But I never made it past Star, scoutmaster was a dick.
When looking for a good knife, rank means nothing compared to knowledge, and it's really all about what feels right. Didn't you learn that in scouts? :p
--------------------
Don’t just keep ones head down and ones pace steady, look behind to make sure there’s no trail of destruction. Consider that the things below ones feet in physicality, are actually above ones head in importance. Remember that we are not the only ones alive, and are definitely not depended upon to continue living. We are an expendable creature in the eyes of the earth. Thus, we must treat ourselves like we are guests. Accommodations must be made for life all over the planet. The power of life is incredibly diverse, intelligent, and intricate in its adaptability. Lets not give nature a reason to consume us in turn.

This is what I'm working on atm:
--------------------
Along a path I walk this night, clear to no other eyes than mine.
In faerie circles perchance I might, hope Elven honey bread to find.
Over stream and tangled root I leap, o'er bough and slumbering badger's keep.
Under hoary oak and willow I bound, to find such groves as can be found,
the sating mushrooms; spring's delight, as gifts from figures of the night.

No one is posting but I have to show off my new Balisong, also known as a butterfly knife.

I love unmade beds. I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love when people are at breaking point and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love the look in people’s eyes when they realize they’re in love. I love the way people look when they first wake up and they’ve forgotten their surroundings. I love the gasp people take when their favorite character dies. I love when people close their eyes and drift to somewhere in the clouds. I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams. Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words.

Another one of mine. Spring assisted open and a glass breaker.
My only gripe is that the pocket clip was unbelievably tight and took forever to break in.

I'm gonna be ordering a bronze sword soon from this guy:
http://www.bronze-age-swords.com/
I'm excited! I'm gonna get a european style blade (probably the Urnfield or the Hallstatt C Mindelheim) and then also buy one of the Egyptian blades since they look so crazy.

Just ordered my Iaito from Japan for my Iaido and Kenjustu class. Will be here in 2 weeks and I'll get some of my own shots.
This is of course a nonsharpened practice blade, for learning how to cut from the saya and put the Katana away properly. These still cost around $500. For a cutting Katana I expect to fork out nearly $2,000
