The top knife is my back up to my every day carry. It's a Kershaw that I got a few years ago, not sure how exactly when. The bottom, Gerber, is or should I say was my boys. A couple years ago I told him not to leave it out laying around. Well he did and picked it up. To this day he didn't even know it's missing, boys. But to be fair he had two of them, I guess that's why he didn't notice. I was waiting for him to say something about not being able to find it so I could talk to him. He never said anything LOL. Sorry the pictures are not so great. Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk

Speaking of Kershaw, a good friend of mine is gifting me an Entropy. It'll arrive shortly. It's modeled after this one:

Customizing EDC knives are a big thing. Just like others, I've customized everything from the pivot and scale screws to the scales and even pocket clip. It's addicting but I also tune my knives so that they perform to my liking. That's a nice Gerber Paraframe and that Kershaw Storm 1470 is really cool man! They don't make the Storm anymore since the Strom II 1475 is out so one would have to buy them on the used market. Always been a fan of both of those knives. Speaking of Kershaw, a good friend of mine is gifting me an Entropy. It'll arrive shortly. It's modeled after this one: Error 404 (Not Found)!!1Ooo, always been a fan of Rexford's work so I can't wait to see your new knife! Thinking about picking the ZT 0801 which is designed by Rexford as well
I'm also a fan of Rexford's Injection and Singularity knives that uses Mokuti

No lie, they are expensive. His designs are upwards of 1k. I've seen them between $6500.00 to 10K USD. I like that Gerber a lot. There's a reason why the Paraframe is a popular knife. It's lightweight, minimalistic, and easy to use and clean which is a plus among EDC knives

Texas Governor Gregg Abbot signed into law HB1935, effective September 1, 2017, which eliminated illegal knives and blade length restrictions on knives. We can now carry any kind of knife (or sword or spear) we want, whatever size blade we want, anywhere we want, except in protected areas, like schools, hospitals, churches, courthouses, bars, etc. There is no longer any such thing as an "illegal knife" in Texas, which was just ridiculous to begin with. Today, you can carry a Cold Steel Kukri down 6th Street if you want to. Further, the bill prohibits municipalities from superseding State law. Which means your local city cannot ban knives anymore, they must follow State law.
Needless to say, my blade collection grew quite a bit after September 2017 and I carry an OTF everywhere without fear of running afoul of any laws.
God Bless Texas

Quick note on knife laws in Canada, there are none. However if you are causing a threat to public safety albeit with a broom handle, shovel, frying pan or a knife then the law will step real quick. Open or conceal carry wherever save for using some common sense with schools, establishments that serve alcohol etc. And so, here's the beginnings of my knife collecting following in the foot steps of Infinit01, Rapine and Scifi. We kinda held hands going down the hill at the same time lol.

I think I can easily say that we'd all like to see some of them Ultra. Yeah - nothing really in the way of restrictive laws in Canada (except autos, OTFs, and balisongs being prohibited), but the IMPORT practices are just idiotic. O_o That Cold Steel is a nice knife Haz. They all are, but that's nice.
Drooling over this one lately: linkOut of my budget, but dang! I've always wanted a Rick Hinderer design, but a lot of them are larger, or heavier (not disappear in the pocket so well). This one though...(still around 5.5oz, but) Plus - Zero Tolerance. Ya - Hi.

Good find, Ultra! I can now carry my Kabar in the public without any issue. And so, here's the beginnings of my knife collecting following in the foot steps of Infinit01, Rapine and Scifi. We kinda held hands going down the hill at the same time lol.
Awesome knives you got there, Haz. I like that Gerber, it's really nice looking
