Knives

I like cutlery, the good shit where I live was made by a local legend. If you are from Ohio you should know…
Weather Cutlery
 
Is there such thing as nonfolding knife with spiked brass knuckles handle? I resumed watching a bit of Rebel Moon Pt 2 Director's Cut and it had me wondering if a normal person should invest in one in case of societal unrest.

I don't collect knives, but if there was some cool movie or comic character known for his iconic knife, I might buy a replica. Like maybe Rambo's knife, Lion-O's Sword of Omens, etc.

You remember I said about the London comic con in the toy thread , the Country Girl bought a metal full size replica of the Sword of Omens and the dagger from Thundercats from a stand there to be delivered in due course..

Cost?

Tried searching and I may have seen one on Amazon, but not 1:1 scale.

I think it was from the sword stall UK website but it doesn't want to load for me currently
 
I've been into knives about 40 yrs since my dad would take me to knife shows etc. I am kind of a steel snob. I prefer super steels that have great edge retention and quality etc I have about 6 knives i EDC but own about 120+ knives pocket, fixed, etc. I live in a state where i can own automatics so i carry Mircotech, Protech, etc

Civivi Cogent (son bought for xmas ) its a cheaper knife but fun to fidget with
Spyderco Southard : Designed by knifemaker Brad Southard in CTS204p steel long since discontinued and i don't carry it alot since its valuable
Kershaw Bareknuckle: SMKW exclusive in super steel CPM20cv discontinued
Protech TR3 Swat automatic in Cpm154cm steel . one of my fav to carry and their warranty is the best .. I mailed the knife in because the button was sticking and they mailed me a brand new knife!
Protech Terzuola ATCF automatic designed by knifemaker Robert Terzuola in S45VN steel and my fav edc wife bought for my 50th bday
Spyderco paramilitary 2 in S30v steel just a great edc

Yes, the WW1 trench knife is exactly like that. There's very few originals left, but there's plenty of companies in america doing very good replicas.

yeah thats like walking probable cause even in the most conservative or states. Some states you can open carry a fixed blade like Texas Florida etc but its not usually done unless you are hunting or hiking outdoors , Every now and then you see some nut all tactical vest etc carrying a fixed blade but its an obvious red flag to the cops and just unnecessary. i carry a fixed blade (under 8in overall) in my sling bag and a under 4 in folder in my pocket and most days just carry the folder to cut amazon boxes or fidget with

finally decided to dip my toes in a mid-budget knife—Spyderco Para3 w/ s110v blade steel & g-10 handle scales. ended up getting one of the titanium clips from LynchNW because goddamn the stock Spyderco pocket clip is a legit tragedy of dog shit design & functionality.

i’ve been putting this thing through a ton of heavy use at work the past few weeks since getting it & the edge is still slicing as if it was still day 1 fresh out the box.

I bought myself one of these a few years ago.
 
^ For what purpose? For EDC? A particular target? Looks like it's intended for target to bleed out.

Spreads beautifully.

I can also slap someone in the face with it if I'm ever attacked.

I'm assuming "super steels" refers to stuff like Magnacut.

Do you know: is there one steel alloy that is prized above all others as a blend? I imagine it doesn't necessarily have to be the most expensive one because the elements that make up the mix aren't the rarest or hardest to come by. And I suspect what is most prized changes depending on what characteristics you're after for a knife.

But let's assume price isn't an issue, and the skill/equipment of the knifemaker can handle anything. Is there a best?

Just in case. I NEVER take it outside of my house. NEVER. I'm not looking for trouble, but if it comes inside of Casa De Strychnine and gets within hand-to-hand range after the shotgun?

I'm gonna defend my wife inside of our home. That and I really like the look of it.

Short answer - no, there is no overall best steel. All steels are a compromise between toughness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, there's no magic steel which has the best of everything. If I'm a saltwater fisherman for example and need a knife which doesn't rust I'm going to have to give up a fair bit of wear resistance and/or toughness. If I want to max out wear resistance I'm going to end up with a blade which is fairly brittle and rusts easily if I look at it wrong. For a machete that's getting hacked into things all day, toughness is going to be the 1st priority and the rest isn't all that important since it's going to be getting filed & sharpened pretty frequently.

Honestly? 14C28N is about as good as anyone really needs. No it won't hold an edge forever like M390 or the other exotic steels I have, but it takes a very fine edge which lasts a decently long time and it's pretty stainless & doesn't chip easily. It's basically a poor man's Magnacut, you get about 3/4 of the performance at 1/4 of the price.
