Learning curve buying knives

[Frodo]

Top is a hold out 2.5” blade on a gun metal neckless.
Next is a nice hunting knife
The feather knife is kinda strange but unlike it in a weird way

These 3 are loosers. Might be ok at making a sammich but that’s about it

Nice acid wash domasicus look alike with wood scales. Nice little pocketbknife

Another hide out. Not a bad blade and not the best. $20 knife

Going old school on you
Razor blade
I stripped it and it will cut hair

That one in the picture above the razor blade looks like a knock-off of the Ritter RSK Mk5. Which is a very handly little knife. Designed to go inside an Altoids tin pocket survival kit. A better alternative to the typical razor blade or Exacto knife blade you see in these pocket kits.

You can buy the Ritter knife here ($15.95):

It would be interesting to see how the clone compares to the original. The paracord on the back is an important part of the little knife's function. Since the "handle" is so short, the cord is held in your palm and acts like a handle extension.

There are far better EDC knives. This little one is a last ditch survival knife, and is great for that use. Meant to be carried in your miniature pocket survival kit. Often made using an empty Altoids mint tin. Comes shipped in one of these tins, but with Ritter custom graphics on it. If the version that Frodo has works as well as the Ritter, I would recommend this little knife. Especially if you go hiking or backpacking in the wilderness. Sure, carry you bigger better knife on those trips, but equip you last ditch survival kit with one of these little gems. Beats a razor blade by a mile.

Ha !!!
Well well
Tossed one of the loosers
And it stuck in a board
Oh! Really? Do over
It stuck again and it’s brothers seemed to catch on

These flimsy pos are ok as practice

I will most likely hide those blades in a belt. Behind a buckle

Very nice design. Good size for a neck knife

With a 1” blade . I see this as more of a survival type of blade than a tactical blade. Do not get me wrong. One inch is enough to bleed you dry

pretty fancy knives, not my thing, I prefer fairly standard knives.

Funny, there is a Japanese utility knife that I have used over the years. I think I misplaced it, it is just a blade with a sheet of thin brass folded over one end for a handle
It is one of the sharpest blades I have ever used. The Japanese knife makers think Americans are nuts or stupid because we value a knife by the way it looks. And the Japanese could care less how it looks it is all about the blade

Amazon has that utility knife I think it is called a craft knife. 7 or 8 bucks

Found it you want a good knife
Right here

Thanks for posting....decent working knives or hideout knives are my addiction......but wait, machetes, KuKri. autos, long swords, hatchets and war axes are also worth collecting. And cross cut saws as long as you are studying how to sharpend things.

You like hide out knives?
That blade above
May or may not be inside a few straps that I know off
