i just got this baby. a microtech micora fire ant with black serrated blade.

That is freakin awesome. I collect knives and swords. Those are some nice looking knifes. Do they have a switch blade action?

I’m always trying to convince my wife that we need a set of Samurai swords for the mantle. She lived in Tokyo for six years, and we are good friends with a guy who’s family business was making swords. He’s a tenpura chef but I’m sure he could help me find some cool swords. My wife is not a fan of the idea though. :?

Got this for x-mas last year from my wife.
Spyderco's Gunting Knife Set (with a trainer as well)



My everyday carry knife is the Kershaw Chive by Ken Onion



and one more of my favorites...the kerambit



I also collect authentic bolo knives, kris swords, short swords, from the Philippines. Don't have any pics of those offhand.

Its always nice to find people on dendroboard that share other similar interests.

nuggular, yes that baby has "double out the front action". slide the button on the side foward a little and the blade shoots out, slide it back and the blade retracts. just have to be careful not to hit it in your pocket :shock:

rompida, yea it is cool to see other interest on the boards.

i mostly collect benchmades but i do have a boker auto and a kershaw. the assisted opening on the kershaw is very nice and rivals autos at 1/10 the price. ken onion is a genius.i have the kershaw BUMP with titanium handle with gold inlay. nice balance with the huge blade.
