Let’s try again.
Not mine, but my daughter turns 14 this month and I figured she should retire her 11 year old pocketknife (the pink one) for an entry level OTF. This is an Atomic from Grindworx. On sale for $20 and fires and retracts pretty solidly. She’s not tough on her knives, so this may actually last a while.

Personally... I'd carry the top one...

I’m telling you, for knives that are under $15, Rough Rider makes a great knife.Personally... I'd carry the top one...
They’re not Buck, but they’re not priced like them either. For gag gifts or disposable knives out of China, they’re a solid knife.
My new sgian-dubh from Ken Brock.
He had a release of these, but I hemmed and hawed over it and missed getting one before they were discontinued.
@bfm suggested that I email Ken to be put on a list for the next run.
I did so and Ken emailed me back that he had a blank for me if I wanted it.
I wasn't going to miss my opportunity again and told him I'd take it.
It took him only about a week to finish and ship the knife.
I'm really happy with it!

Ken is a great guy. I have three or four of his knives rattling around here.
From an email with Ken, "Lol, bfm was one of my first customers. I won’t hold that against you though."

Yeah, that was a couple decades ago.
Crazy money. If it was like 100.00 or two just for the knife and a sheath I’d be in. Make it in D2 and cut the cost in half, it’s supposed to be a pocket daily worker anyway. That super steel cost is nuts for a 3” blade.Looks super stabby but the price point is stupid money. @cams see if you can buy it on Amazon

430BK Redoubt. Bought it on a whim after losing my Bugout. No opinion as of yet.

Like the look of the grip. Too bad about the BugOut...
I’m still hoping that it turns up.

That's the funny thing about missing knives... <poof>I’m still hoping that it turns up.
and then...
I picked up an Ontario OCK-S3 Marine Bayonet to round out the accessories on my M4gery from back in the day.

I really like that knife. Looks like it would fit the hand well. It’s not getting a lot of love on the forums. But I definitely dig it.
Def need more diverse opinions bc I like the looks of it too

I love this throw back. I have wanted an A2/A4 rifle for a while, but that carbine is too cool.

CRKT isn’t afraid to spill a little of its customers’ blood in the name of design. I have one of these things kicking around somewhere.

It may surprise you all, but I'm no knife fighter, but my brain can't understand a situation using this and not slicing your palm open/thumb off
. These are all Civivi and the lower 2 are the first knives with brass scales I’ve picked up.

Finally had a chance to sit down and sharpen the SRK, the edge was not up to the standard I have seen in the past from Cold Steel. The hairs on my arm now pop off with no effort

Yeah, these are mass produced and for the price, ok for out-of-the-box. A little time and love and they come right in.
They are not "heirloom" knives, but great for a working blade.
