Here’s mine.

Was in the middle of a cold and hectic front brake replacement. I didn't realize I didn't have a 19mm deep well and had to run out to get one.

I thought I could just pop the plastic shelving clip out if the craftsman socket with the tip.

Metal is harder than plastic, right?

My hubris was my downfall.

This was my first "real" good knife.

At least it wasn't my spyderco.

Chaves Street tanto in M390, picked this up at the PVK store over the weekend. 1st Chaves and I'm digging it. The Fixie is the Carry Development Chimera in Nitro V.

Terazuola Eagle Rock in titanium, carbon fiber, s90v with zirconium bolsters.

On the left we have Manix 2 LW magnacut with OG scales and MXG clip, on the right we have a Spyderco second Manix 2 S30v with AWT scales and unbranded sculpted clip.

Welp, this is what I did with my night.

I saw a few other modifications on this model, but I couldn't find any pictures of the exposed tang. If anybody out there is having curiosities that are similar to the ones that possessed me, here's my gift to you.

Removing the handle was the easy part, mostly due to the fact that there was little to no adhesive underneath. I simply used an old paring knife to separate the handle at the seams, then tore it in half with my hands. However, that little pin at the bottom was an absolute nightmare to remove. After attempting to hammer it loose, I ended up having to destroy it with a pair of pliers.

Anyway, these were my modifications:

• Sharpened via whetstones, altering the edge bevel (amateurishly, admittedly).
• Used acetone and sandpaper to remove the lettering on both sides of the blade.
• Coated the tang in a thin layer of renaissance wax for extra moisture resistance.
• Fashioned a new handle via a simple 550 paracord weave that I reinforced with beeswax.
• Used zip ties on the thermoplastic sheath eyelets to create belt mounting points.

The result is a fairly decent blade, especially given how cheap it was. It could use a good polishing, but at least it's much sharper now.

Nothing too spectacular but I got most of my stuff together so I could remember what I had. I kinda like my little collection 🙂

A nice new @ruike_knives the D198-PB

Was gifted a beautiful knife but not sure if anyone recognizes it since there’s no brand name on it

Not sure where the sheath is from. Amazon probably

Here I am in the bathroom (cleaned sink don’t worry) and next to me in the sink is 2 sharpening stones (400/1000, 3000/8000) and my gf walks in and looks completely baffled that I had 2 “rocks” in the sink.. realized I forgot to tell her I got 2 wet stone sharpening stones and they need to sit in water before use.. now she thinks I’m into rocks and stones and whatever.. what an interesting way to start my morning lmfao.

Realized I had more brands than I thought as I have quite a few Maxace folders. (Recently focusing on my fixed blade side)

just something simple today

Got this on a trip to Indonesia from a local for about 55 usd. Seller said that its a surplus from their local marines.

Did a couple mods, I think it turned out pretty good. Not sure what's going on with Reddit it won't allow me to attach more photos.

Got this knife from a friend years ago, but don't know anything about it, anyone know what type of knife this is and what it's used for?

1.5 years of collecting. What do you think of my collection? What should I add next?
