My daggers

[Twobit]

Here's a pic of the three daggers I own.

One on the left is wicked, wouldn't want to be shanked with any of them though.

Sammy, that one is a Hibben Silver Shadow. My wife got it for me as a Christmas gift while we were still dating, maybe 32 ish years ago. It's so heavy and the point is so sharp I'd be afraid to stand it on my palm for fear it might just push through of its own weight.

[sammy the blade]

Sounds like you have a caring wife, only things women have bought me was junk like aftershave.

[Twobit]

Well by now she's good and sick of me wanting knives and such for Christmas, birthdays, and Father's Day. She did get me a very nice treasure chest that I keep my fixed blades in. My folders are in a briefcase.

[sammy the blade]

I'd tell her she should be happy you're not spending it on porn and weed. It can always be worse. Seems like my money all goes on motor cycles and guns.

[Twobit]

I'm fairly comfortable with the guns I have - got all the basic bases covered pretty well. Ammo is another story. I'd like to have more 12 gauge rounds, particularly slugs. They've gotten ridiculously expensive.

[Fishtail Picklock]

I wish that I had the old British Commando (Sykes-Fairbairn) knife that Dad gave me 61 years ago. (It looks like the one on the left, but anodized black). That was a MEAN dagger!

[Twobit]

That would be a valuable piece today, fishtail.

Those are wicked nice Twobit. the Hibben is very classy.

Is it okay if I add a few of my own from across the pond?
They're kind of shabby compared to the ones you have plus they're used.

[Twobit]

By all means, billyfish. You're too modest. Those look great and appear to be historic blades. Not shabby at all!

Lovely daggers Luke ,particularly like that Gil Hibben example aswell ,once had a raptor fantasy dagger by him in the 80s .
Fishtail wish you still had the FS ,war examples are fetching good money now ,really deadly knives in the right hands ,one pierced my hand once when removing a glued down carpet in a a rush.
Billyfish
Those are fine knives ,really love the bottom one ,is it a kindjal from Russia ?Ill wager all 3 have excellent steel .
Heres a few of mine Luke if its ok to share them on your thread .

[Twobit]

Of course, you're more than welcome to share on my thread, Ian, as is anyone else who cares to do so.

Luke
The middle one is an unfinished project of mine ,I ground it from an old file but life and health got in the way of me finishing it ,its razor sharp .

[Twobit]

I hope you can finish it someday, Ian.
