I got rid of mine too. It's realy a lethal fighter but the blade geometry and handle make it pretty useless for anything else. Handles locks your hand into a sabre or icepick grip.
It's the knife for a knifefight.
Could you give some info about the pick? I was thinking of getting a Titanium one. Thanks!

It's a titanium pick. It's pointy.
I dont remember who made it. Small custom run. It's pretty cool and pretty useless all at the same time.
My favorite knives out of my humble collection:
Damn, my knives seem out of place with all these nice ones.
Well worn (15yr old) Spyderco and two CRKT M16s.
Left to Right (thank you Air Force for all these free blades
)
SOG Mini Pentagon (sheath attached to bug-out bag)
Air Force Life Raft J-Knife
Old US GI Floating Life Raft J-Knife
2 Benchmade Model 5 W BLK Hook Knives
New Benchmade 9050 Auto
Well worn 9050 Auto
I need more pics of the well worn benchmade.
A new knife lacks the stories of an old friend.
Busse BWM LE with a couple .mil ones for size. My first INFI

Thanks! My first shells in the collection. I think that makes it a keeper!
You guys do realize that our modern steel knives are as blunt as soup spoons compared to cavemen's knives made from Obsidian, right? Stronger, yes, but much, much duller!
It's hard to believe but the sharpest knives that have ever been used in recent years were mounted with stone flakes made of obsidian. A company called Aztecnics was manufacturing and selling surgical scalpels mounted with different sizes and shapes of obsidian blades. Good quality obsidian fractures down to single molecules which can produce a cutting edge 500 times sharper than the sharpest steel scalpel blade ("American Medical News", Nov. 2, 1984:21). On the cellular level an obsidian knife can cut between cells rather than tear the cells as a steel knife will do. A sharper cut will allow a wound to heal more rapidly with less scarring. High magnification of a steel scalpel blade edge looks like a serrated saw blade but an obsidian edge looks smooth. I know an archaeologist who had some surgery done a few years ago using obsidian knives. In the tape of the operation at the initial cut to open the abdomen the doctor remarks "oouuu that's sharp"!
Hell, even some chimps make sharper knives than some of us, lol:

Linky is junk
......I am not sure i want to try and argue about tools i have personally never seen or handled...i.e. cavemen knives...but i def. am not sold on your math. The new microtech i pic'd above is soooo freaking sharp that its ridiculous to need a sharper blade than that one.
