Smith and Wesson 5906 with hollowpoints.

Cool, Master at arms at scouting. Maybe I should start training my group, too.

Yes, been camping a lot with scouting.

Recharcheable Maglite and Calypso Jr. (micarta)

Both black, both useful.

Last year I was going on holiday, so I had to go to the airport. I guessed it would be unwise to carry a knife through the metal detector, so I put it in my hand luggage, shoved the bag through the x-ray machine and picked it up afterwards. Immediately after the metal detector I picked up the knife ...

Cool. Maybe I'll try ordering one too, since they ship this fast.

Toolshop looks pretty good to me.

I usually carry just one knife.
At the moment, it's my Calypso jr. micarta.
And I'm sure as **** not gonna wear a knife in my boxers at night.

Joyce, I've sent you a mail. I'm really happy you people send PDR's to Europe.... :D

Yes, I really hope you'll send one to europe.

Nieto.
It's Spanish and it's supposed to be pretty good quality.
I paid about $25 for a folder, 440C steel.
It sucked. It lasted for about 6 months, then the lock quit owrking. I still don't know if it was beacuase of crappy materials or stupidity of one of my co-workers, but I really don't want ...

Great knife, a bit expensive though....
I paid about $84 for a Calypso Jr. with the micarta handle.
In the Netherlands, that's a lot of money for a knife.
But on the other hand, it's great quality and it looks absolutely stunning. Now I want more......

I bought one for about $82 in the Netherlands. So yes, it's a good buy.

Carpe noctem

Punk, metal, rock, classical.

Saw Iced Earth last night. Cool.
150 minutes of pure metal.

Overhere in the Netherlands, people tend to get a bit nervous around weapons (edged or otherwise) and I wouldn't want my guests to get uncomfortable. It's also quite safe in my neighbourhood, so a small amount of arms would be sufficient.

I won't be using the axe primarily as a weapon, but more as ...

Thanks for the tips.

I'm a knife / bayonet collector, so I already have some edged weapons at my home. The lower floor is basically divided in:
-Kitchen; plain kitchen knives
-Living room; Machette and a Nieto backlock folder (for opening mail)
-Hallway; nothing

Upstairs:
-stairwell; nothing ...

I'd have to agree on the black micarta Calypso Jr.

Bought myself a black micarta Calypso Jr last saturday. It's divine. However, what do you guys prefer, a plain edge or a serrated edge?

I guess I've bought the same knife last saturday. Black micarta handle, quite small, AUS-8 steel and made in Japan.
