What would be your favorite knife to own?
Re: What would be your favorite knife to own?
That's what it was, San Mai Tanto, those are sweet. Last time I saw one was about 5 yrs ago and they were hundreds of dollars, depending on the blade length, up to close to a thousand.I think mine would be a Cold Steel tanto, not sure what it's called but it's got a special coating on the blade to make it super hard and hold an edge.
Compared to regular Cold Steel knives these are about 600.00 to 800.00 dollars, depending on blade length.
Haven't seen them for about 5 yrs or so, but I still remember holding it at the store, man, she was beautiful.

I have a few favorites: I havn't seen one of my favorites posted here thats the Tom Brown Tracker or T2. I prefer the larger size of the T1. I don't really like the handle design but the blade is fantastic imho.

I also am still very much in love with my Ka-Bar made by Camillus, and my newer Ka-Bar made by Ka-bar.
Just for clarrity I do own 3 models of the SOG Seal knives, which ive never been impressed with the handles or the blades. But they are extremely nice knives over all. I have been considering replacing the handles with 550 para chord. Which ive done on previous knives and it worked out quite well.

Benchmade Predidio Auto
Leatherman Charge with all of the tool bits and shit.
Small benchmade auto in my flight suit.

Well I'll be damned, guess GRITS is looking out for me after all.
For Valentines day I received a Gerber MKII, no shit.
Had almost forgotten just how much I liked my old one! :D

With a big fuckin' lobster, beer, wine, salad, Corn on the cob the size of my forearm. Some big tittied/small waist chick to eat it with me. A jacuzzi, a California King sized bed. A real shower, my 1911, my Randal knife, some normal clothes, a feather bed, my truck, my bull dog and no fucking worries or bull shit - all at least for one weekend.
That ain't too much to ask for... Is it?
-Maybe Majic Man can help me out with this in Thailand come April- If I don't get fired first......

Sorry Bro, never heard of him. Try googling his name under knifemaker or something?DC Ranger wrote:Does anyone know a Ranger named Donnie Cartwright? He was at 6th RTB with me and he made custom knives. I have been trying to hunt him down or find his Web site to get one of his knives. Last time I heard he was in Alaska but that was years ago. If anyone got any info please let me know…
