Title says it all what is the rarest or most unusual knife you own? For me it's a Izhmash ballistic knife.

Not really unusual, but since I designed it that must count for rare. This is my take on the Kephart pattern, expertly made by Gene Ingram. It's S30V with micarta scales. http://www.harrystone.net/posted/custom.jpg View Quote Nice man that's a good looking blade and it's cool that you did the design and had Gene build it. |

View Quote Is that the #14? I have one on order but think it will be another 2 years before I get it. |

From what I've been able to dig up I'm the third owner. |

I have one of the original black knives made by Ron Miller from the early 1990s. The first coil spring autos given to Navy SEALs and special forces.
Still a beast with strong spring snap. |

Just got a knife from a guy in Croatia who found an old M18 Hellcat and took some ball bearings and forged knives out of those ball bearings.

A 1969 Gerber Mark 2. I wish I could afford an original canted blade.

I have a Polkowski made Kasper Scorpion that was sent off and had the G10 handles professionally checkered prior to delivery to the original owner. I talked to Al Polkowski prior to his death and he remembered the knife and said it is the only checkered handled knife he ever produced.

I have what I think is a 70s era scout pattern like that one. It's just like yours except the bone is more of a chocolate color. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

With its 1940's-1965 family of Cases. I have what I think is a 70s era scout pattern like that one. It's just like yours except the bone is more of a chocolate color. That sounds about correct on year for the color your saying, that scout knife of mine is a 40's model. If you look at your blade you can date it. If it's a post 1970 it will have little tiny dots stamped into it. 10dot is 1970 9 dot is 71 8 dot is 72. I'm going off of memory but a quick Google search on dating case knives will tell your exact year. Take a pic of your case tang stamp and I'll tell you what year it is. All of mine came from my wife's great uncle when I helped them clean the estate I asked to keep them and pass them on to my son. He was definitely a case knife collector and there is still some more hidden away as we clean and sort things at his old house. |

Cold Steel "Hamidashi." They stopped making them a long time ago. I bought it about 15 years ago for $400 on sale. While not so rare or unusual, I have three Randall Made Knives that I am very happy with. They are the model 12 Raymond Thorpe Confederate Bowie, the model 14 Attack, and the model 2 Fighting Stiletto. I really like Randall made knives, they're the best knives I own.
