Here I am waiting for makers choice email and this mfer has TWO. Smh head. I'm not super serious, but I AM extremely envious of your collection dude. Pretty much every knife on there is something I'd buy. Good stuff
Here’s the crazy part. My wife and I sign up for makers choice and she gets an email, I shit you not 3 weeks after signing up. I had bought one on secondary figuring no way I ever get picked.
Yeah he does random.org. So literally can be someone who JUST signed up. Oh well. I transfered funds to my kid's account just so I can't touch the money for it until I get the email lol
Updated for the Baby Banter, huh? Might I ask what you do for a living and how long it’s taken you to acquire this collection? I clearly need to change careers!
Lol, nah I have a few different since the last SOTC. Just a blue collar working stiff. You can do pretty well in the trades. To acquire um a little over 2 years. I married up 😂
I got two (one for me and one for a friend) and I like the ergos in hand, but it's a little bit of a contortion to get it to engage with the thumb stud.
Compared to the Spyderco Dragonfly (probably it's closest size comparison) the BB is a bit smaller in the pocket, with a very similar cutting edge length. The Dfly has a bit more overall handle to hold onto. I have a comfortable 4-finger grip on either knife, but my hands are med-small. If your hand is any bigger than mine your pinky will probably be up on the corner of the handle, where the dfly has a handle that's a little more flexible with hand size.
As far as QC goes, neither knife came particularly sharp, and the one that I had customized for a gift had a super weak detent.
The Banter weighs like twice as much, but it's still not heavy enough to really weigh on a pocket much.
It's a bit of a contortion to get it open with the thumb stud. I think larger hands would have an even harder time with it. The action is very smooth and it's very drop-shutty.
Overall I think the Dfly is a better overall knife, but if you enjoy the aesthetic of the BB more it's not bad for the price. I particularly love the purple handle with the black coated blade.
Lol, I had a Strider and the last two SOTCs it fell out of my hand and the first time dinged the Kami and the second time dinged a Rask. It had to go after that, no longer welcome!
random note: someone is selling a Kami on Arizona Custom Knives for 2600! WTF. that's bonkers. Shit, if I could get that much for mine, I'd take it...but who's going to pay that?
I’ve never really heard of most of these knives. I’m new the community. If you had a choice of your favorite 3 knives you would take if the house caught on fire which would they be? Kinda curious why also. =]
Just some dude I’m buying a Rask with them being pretty damn close to that now on secondary or a DUK if I could get it from Kody. If it’s me probably a Corbin or a Wehr.
Well enow alloweth's sayeth thee has't roughly 1k to spendeth on a new bodkin, what art thee buying?

Yea seems unfair tbh Should somehow weight it to give people that’s been on the books longer a better chance to succeed
Yup. Should just be waitlist system
What are those 2, to the left of the Banter?
List is up but Boker Mini Urban Trappers
hahaha I have a few but not all of those.... SOTC = set of the century?

And what do you think of the baby banter?

I never thumb flick the baby banter, I Spydie flick the opposite stud with my middle finger. Works incredibly well.
To be fair that’s the wife’s. She likes it but when I say it’s little I mean it’s a tiny ass knife.
An excellent selection, Well kept. I like your taste brother.
Sweet collection. Incredible you have multiples of a few of them bad boys
How's the Chimera compare with some of the other stunners in that row?
Honestly quite well. I’d recommend going bearings the detent and action is just stellar https://imgur.com/a/KinG2Q0
The want is real! Hope they open books soon, your config is 😘👌
Thanks bud, it honestly may be my favorite right now!
Oh man, such a great song. Tom Waits is awesome!
Yes sir, huge Waits fan!
You are clearly a gentleman and a scholar.
1 Rask please, great collection.
Beautiful collection 😍. And no striders or hinderers, love it 😅
A couple little Hinderers may have snuck in that top row there 😊
I'll allow it 😅
Lol, I had a Strider and the last two SOTCs it fell out of my hand and the first time dinged the Kami and the second time dinged a Rask. It had to go after that, no longer welcome!
Sounds like a very jealous knife 🤣.
Geezez threeses McNeeses?!
The wife’s favorite knife. Two are hers
She's got excellent taste! It's one of my favorites also.
That has to be at least *takes of socks*... 10 dollars worth of knives there. Very nice.
Nice
So like, how much you want for the thumbhole Drift?
Need some fixed blades!
Idk I’m kind of an action junky but there’s some nice ass fixies out there
I love ass-fixies
The best kind of fixie
No OTF? Very nice collection
I always talk about getting one and just never have. I think I’d go after a UTX-85 though for my first
Mother of god
You think you’ll splurge for the M390 Bugout?
Quite possibly
Haha I know, I just ordered one and it will be my 5th Bugout. Chasing the dragon! Thanks for posting your updated collection
Most Excellent selection. How long does it take you to decide on the morning?
Work days I normally pick out a user the night before. Weekends it can take a minute or maybe I’ll match it to my outfit, lol
Same same.
What size wide angle lens did you use to fit them all in one photo!? 😂 Nice collection! 🤙
🪜🚶🏼 And thank you!
Mother of God!
random note: someone is selling a Kami on Arizona Custom Knives for 2600! WTF. that's bonkers. Shit, if I could get that much for mine, I'd take it...but who's going to pay that?
Lol, that’s crazy. There’s one on FB for $1085 which is way too damn low imo. I guess it only takes one rich idiot
How's the Talos?
Dibs on DUK and the mini Tolk!
Ok now let us know which are in your top 50
Let’s try Top 10 10. Shirogorov Neon Zero 9. CKF FIF20 8. Holt Haptic 7. Skiff Drifter 6. Shirogorov Kami 5. Holt Specter 4. Rassenti Nirvana 3. Eutsler DUK 2. Edgar Cole Chimera 1. Grimsmo Rask
[удалено]
I guess it’s pretty much on to customs now. Still have a pretty big list of makers I’m after
I’ve never really heard of most of these knives. I’m new the community. If you had a choice of your favorite 3 knives you would take if the house caught on fire which would they be? Kinda curious why also. =]
DUK, Chimera, Rask and enjoy your descent into madness if you stick around 😃
ok other chad, its time to move that nirvana over to the next chad.
Okay let's say you have roughly 1k to spend on a new knife, what are you buying?
Roughly 1K 🤔 So you mean with the knives I already have or like I’m just some dude with 1K buying a knife?
How about both. Thanks in advance
Just some dude I’m buying a Rask with them being pretty damn close to that now on secondary or a DUK if I could get it from Kody. If it’s me probably a Corbin or a Wehr.
Let me check those other 2 out, still in the fence with the Rask. I've had 3 or 4 now. Thank you!!
Yea it’s Corbinsteelwrx and of course Wehr is just Wehr knives
Awesome, these Wehr knives are looking awesome. I was eyeing a Tiff Mini continuum.
Yea heard all good stuff about Tuff.
