Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

Cor blimey gov!
That snappiness when opening and closing is what is lovingly referred to as "walk and talk".
Had yourself quite a conversation..

It happens to all of us, regardless of years of experience.
Just a few weeks ago I was doing some cleaning and lubing and before I knew it, I was bleeding from TWO fingers!

Another family photo, this one of my Spyderco Para Military 2 kids. From left to right- S90V/Flytanium Micarta scales, Maxamet/G10 scales, S45VN/G10 scales, CruWear/Micarta scales. All have Lynch NW clips. I never set out to start a collection, it just sort of happened. Sound familiar ?

Shirogorov is a Russian brand, producing high end folders. Years ago, I had seen many pics and heard nothing but good things about their knives.
Eventually I picked one up on the secondary market- my fate was sealed.
I became a Shiro fanatic from that day forward.

So, this past summer when I started dipping my toe back in to the knife world, I knew it was just a matter of time.
Just picked up my second new Shiro (this time around), the Gen 5 F95. Needless to say, as always.. impressed.

So many beauties in this thread. I haven't bought a pocket knife in many years, as my interests have veered towards other things and my collection is ample enough to have kept me entertained in my daily selections. Another one I like very much is this one by Jerry Halfrich, small and easily carried in any slacks pocket. No pocket clips for me.

Blimey, they cost squillions.

Landed another Shirogorov last week!
This one is a F95 (F for "flipper", 95 for the length of the blade). It's been fully customized by Danny Yard (RIP Knives), who does tremendous and constantly in-demand work. The scales, backspacer, pocket clip, and hardware have all been sculpted, scalloped, and anodized.

Danny made 10 of these and they were lotteried on a certain website.
I was blown away that I was drawn and given the opportunity to buy one. Seriously, I was floating on cloud 9 all day that day.

The Shirogorov/Danny Yard "Green Machine".

Haven’t posted here in a minute. I picked up this little Vietnam War issue Camillus at the thrift store for a buck fitty awhile back and thought I’d show it off a bit. Been working on it and trying to get it back into shape. It was pretty rough when I picked it up. Also pictured is my Stedemon Deep Sea Giant. Always one up top and down below. And some Pegasus in a cob.
