Your "COOLEST" Knife?

[bananaman]

Not exactly a knife. Nazi dagger that my Dad brought home from WWII. It was at our house when I was a little kid. I understand there are phonies out there. Have tried to research it a few times, with no luck. It still has some cosmoline on it. Have the scabbard with it. Never cleaned it or anything. Bob

Decided to add one more. It is cool because of how I obtained it. In the 1970s car seats became mandatory in California. Unfortunately too many people were not versed in getting kids out in an emergency and several children burned to death in auto accidents. Our sheriff decided to issuse a knife for all deputies to carry. This is what I was issued. I never needed to use it but another deputy did and saved a child from burning to death.

Well folks, it seems that I'll soon have an even cooler knife in my possession.

I just ordered a Buck 639 Fieldmate online!

The 639 Fieldmate is essentially a miniature Buckmaster 185 LT. They're quite rare, but surprisingly still reasonably priced (when you can find one) compared to its bigger brothers the 184 and 185 LT.

You can see the family resemblance it shares with the 184/185 by comparing it to my Rothco Ramster (184 Clone) in the OP.

Not a big knife guy but I love this one.
Arno Bernard Bateleur. Basically a trout and bird knife with Giraffe bone scales.

I think I just scored my ‘coolest’ knife.

It’s the MiniMaster 184, a tiny, perfectly-machined copy of the BuckMaster184.

I believe 200 were made.

That's awesome!

Well... since nearly everyone is not adhering to the one knife rule... here are my contributions:



















Picking one favorite... probably wasn't going to happen! However, I do have a favorite child and dog!

Cool but, Id take that old Gerstner off of your hands. Talk about able to tell some stories!

I NEED THIS!

For me, it's this KA-BAR USMC fighting knife from WWII that my Step-Dad (a USMC Cpl.), made into a "theater knife" while aboard ship en-route to a deployment in the Pacific.

He passed in 1996, and the knife is a cherished possession.

That is just off the charts for fans of Buck knives, which I am.

It's a toss up, but I do tend to favour the one with the lanyard.

I'm prejudice, to me that is the coolest knife of the show. It's old, has a history that hopefully won't be repeated, and it's as issued without cleanup. It doesn't get better than that.

This one. Randall meets Ed.

Some real nice knives on here. Would like to take my pick.
Here is my best three. Randall #5 that my father had made for me in 1961 and 2 Olson’s, a bird and trout and a general purpose hunting knife.
The Randall is semi-retired but the Olson’s are used pretty regularly.

I'll toss in another. It's the only Arno Bernard Sr. camp knife I have seen. It has an 8 inch blade and mammoth ivory scales. The papers that came with it said the mammoth tusk was from Siberia and estimated to be 10,000 to 50,000 years old.
