Just pucked these up at a local pawnshop. Its a couple of the duscontinued emerson CQC models. The smaller one is the CQC 5K and the bigger one with the bowie bkade is the awesome CQC 10k. Im happy to have both in my collection.

Helli to anyone that has tried to participate in this community im trying to create. I had a pretty serious health issue come up and ive been absent for a bit.....my apologies. Bur sunce im here i wanna share something that my wife gave me along with a real nice card....her way of making me feel better,it worked. She knows how much my collection means to me and this was rhe newest addition. Its a late 1800's,early 1900's gentlemans english fruit knife. Its blade and bolsters are sterling silver with mother of pearl scales and im just happier than a pig in sh$t.....lol. Im always looking for the next addition to my collection! I am really hoping that things will ho back to normal or as close to it,as i can get and will do my best yo keep this community going and thriving.....

Hey everyone....i rcan exho in here! The whole point of this community is kinda like a big ol nonstop session of show and tell....im creeping myself out with all of this posting and sharing and knowing that noone is in here with me,yet! But imlso answeing myself....lol patience is a virtue...anyways i juvwabted to share a folder that ive for the better part of 15-20 years. Its a pakistan made folder and i dont know what steel the blade is but i can sharpen it and use the heck out of it for a few weeks while its the EDC ive chosenfor the time being,opening boxes,cutting big heavy duty super sacks open and just other general duties you use a knif for and it actually holds an edge fairly well and in colorado we're a pretty arid area and because of that the knife has never really been exposed to mousture and so i ct say what kinda corrosion resistance it has. But make no mistake,itsctualky a well built,sturdy knife that feels good in the hand with those contiured wood scales and brass bolster and pomel but what really draws mw towards this knife and why i ctunye to i clude it in my collection is that very interesting locking/opening lever...it totally reminds me of the good ol solingen hubertus,german swithchblades...they have a very simikar deployment lever as well. I havent real ever thought of these pakistani $5 pocket knives being anything special but the fact that this one has that lever locking mechanism....it kunda intrigued me and adds to rhe feel abdpeal of the knife. I have never seen that on a folder from that region or even here in our neck of the woods. It says its n fted with intelligence and craftsmanship...anyways,imyrioys to what other people might think about this knife and i lo forward to rwading some comments .....eventually...lol

This is a little under half of my total collection. The rest that aren't pictured are put up in a plastic waterproof,earthquake prrof tub i am in need of upgrading my display case.....MUCH BIGGER,if you ask me. My wife says that i have plenty and that i dont need anymore.....ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??!!? There is no such thing,in the entire universe as " YOU HAVE ENOUGH....!"

I have no problem in saying thematbthere is NO SUCH THING as an ugly knife but the knives that catch my attention more than any other are anything tactical,survival and of course anything with a drop point blade. Im wondering what top 3 knife styles and blade shapes. There is no wrong or right answer,thats why i created this community....
