(KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

Please, all, don't trigger me to get new stuff, haha!

In addition to having a weakness for bowies, I acquired a number of fighters over the years, although many have been dealt away. Of the ones that remain, two of my favorites are a 1S1K by Jim Burke of Mississippi, and a Banshee by Matt Cucchiara of California.

Randall knives were the first "good" knife I lusted after back in the early 80s

Just received my fourth Randall yesterday!

But now, after some time went away, I can say, which knife is my favorite, that I would not give away.

The Böker Magnum Nice.
Yeah, just a Magnum with 440A stainless steel, but for all my hobby stuff (including kitchen worK) it's sufficient. I don't see any problem. And it's just so nice grippy, and with it's 130 grams, you got a real thing in your hand. Sure, It's too big to be pocket knife, but it's just a really versatile knife!

Sure, It's too big to be pocket knife

Unless I am seeing the incorrect knife, a 3.31" blade is definitely not too large for a pocket knife

Great looking knife!

I mean, "pocket knife" can be seen in different ways, so it's a question of interpretation.

But the Magnum Nice with it's 130 grams is a serious, massive folder knife, so no wonder, that german retail has it listed under "folder knives", not the smaller, lighter "pocket knives".

Definitely some different ideas at play:

My work knife always in pocket when on a boat

And a few others which I consider medium size knives and are carried as the mood strikes me (I always carry a knife and a flashlight)

The last, one of my Strider SnG's is what I consider a perfect size

Just a comparison.
The Böker Atlas Backlock would be a classic pocket knife, from the german view. 53 grams!
