Watch, knife and/or guns thread!

[Umbongo]

I used to have a knife collection. Then, puberty out of the way, i stopped admiring Rambo, grew up and started sleeping with women. Winning formula!
Then the b*stards started paying me too much and i got into watches!!!!!

[WatchScout]

Meanwhile, back in the real world.....

Poljot Aviator 3133 Chrono on top of Schaskas and a Kinjal. The Mosin Nagant steel can just be seen peeking up from the lower left of the pic:

Compact Flux Capacitor Ray Gun :P

[WatchScout]

I do not remember that gun from "Back to the Future" :mrgreen:

I think it escaped from your steampunk collection instead :wink:

The B&M is simply a great looking watch, as always.

I was offered one very cheap, back when the watch was not in demand.

This was just before, the Capeland became wildly popular and prices skyrocketed.

I will never fathom, why the B&M was not instantly in demand (wrong time, worng marketing??)

Still kicking myself for not buying it in NIB condition, as it was offered to me for half of what it is going for now.

The dial is out of this world.

You can do better, ralphy - try it out, you might actually have an opinion of your own

I found his comment funny enough: no need to try and better it at all, I'd say.

[WatchScout]

Evidently.

Just found it a bit vacuous :wink: You are usually not shy of forming a semi-coherent statement :lol:

[soapy]

I had a watch on when this was taken ('85) but just the gun on show :wink:



And no, I wasn't posing.

Apologies for the quality, but it's a bad pic of a bad pic.

RRF which battalion?

i was with 1 RRF in minden [z company]

Good to see that BigTel still has some knives left :wink:


Just two folders at the moment Watch Scout, but always on the look out for that next favourite special one :lol:

[WatchScout]

Down to two only, huh! At least they are both quality folders.

I went the other way and got a Randall.

Never meant to buy one at those prices (also I have been "cutting" down), but was offered a very good deal by a collector.

Plus I circumvented the six years of waiting for a factory knife, which was also a consideration :lol:

Oh yes, that's where flux capacitor came from, I knew I'd heard it somewhere :lol:

The first B&M I looked at in a AD was, I think, £2400 or thereabouts, but it didn't grab me then.

Like you I was offered one at rock bottom - I think about £600 - but took it :wink: :lol: :wink:

I prefer this one though

Now that is a quality blade, congrats on a good choice, I must admit to being a bit partial to the Randall model 15 Airman and also the Model 14 Attack.

[horrovac]

Some gr8 stuff here, keep on posting and don't listen to these hemp-sandal wearing longhaired hippies. Here's mine:



Locked and loaded with two extra clips (cos' you never know), and also my "Furore" Applepeel-Fairlypointy fixed blade.

Thanks.
Yes they are nice blades, but pricy!
Airman and Attack are both splendid choices IMO.

Tactical toe nail clipper :lol:



(why everything has to be "tactical" these days, I do not know - maybe because it sells better)

[burnsey66]

RRF which battalion?

so i am told,we had nigel benn in our ranks. :)

[soapy]

this combo when i am out and about in the woods
i put the knife together from a kit i bought [on here i think it was]
sharp and well balanced.
the smiths watch i find light,comfortable and reliable :)




when i travel i carry a small pocket knife
this is a UKPK expensive but the quality shines through when you handle/use it.

[WatchScout]

Nice bushy

Spydies are smooooth and that one is UK legal judging from the name or what?

Of course you can not go wrong with a Smiths

[pastrana72]

Intresting thread,some cool stuff on here.

I did not have any Pictures so I could join in, so after carving the kids pumpkins I tried to set up quick shot of something, with out the wife and kids noticing what I was up to.

A bit rushed but did not turn out to bad.

:)

[WatchScout]

Ouch, like a punch to the gut, that Lemania!
Beautiful and with loads of history to it too.
I have admired those for some time now.
Nice SOG too - which is it?

its a enzo trapper,i knew nothing about them when i bought it.
i mostly use it to clear paths and overhanging vegetation when trying to get close to wildlife.

yes the spyderco is UK legal once you have tried one you will see what all the fuss is about. :D

[WatchScout]

I had a few spydies, but sold them all.

They are very nice and very much sought after.

They must sell them by the shedloads.

Thank's.

The SOG is a Tomcat version 1,I think the first folding knife that Sog did, I bought it new in the early 90's it was expensive but I wanted the best knife I could afford for work at the time and had just sold my first car so had cash burning a hole in my pocket.

I stopped carrying it for work a very long time ago and it's function was replaced by a leatherman wave, which did not attact attension when working like the sog did, which was better.

[WatchScout]

The TomCat is a hefty good quality piece. It was the "silver" endpieces that threw me. Thought it had silver scales (which I have never seen a SOG with). IIRC the handles are a very nice sticky black rubber. I handled one and almost bought is years ago. It looks & feels so good.

I went the Leatherman tool route too, though I opted for the Juice. Sad, when hysterical PC makes it difficult to carry a proper pocket knife.

[WatchScout]

Custom damascus fricton folder and Omega SMP. The only picture in my PB right now, but will take a few interesting ones later on.

I had a Seamaster. One of those watches that go with everything; rides smoothly under the cuff of a dress shirt and wears just as well with more relaxed attire.

A watch of which it is real difficult to tire. Quality and prescence.

Well made friction folder too. Really like that too. Now, I can see where you are situated, but the friction folders seems to be very much loved in the UK too, as they can be UK legal.

[Tomcat27]

This is a tread where i can paticipate. I shoot a lot of pistol shooting in competitions here in Denmark.

These pictures are a little old, so i dont have these watches anymore, but the guns is stilll in the safe

[WatchScout]

Nice PAMs. I assume one is a 112. You can not go wrong with those.

Nice brace of handguns too.

You might want to blur the visible serial numbers on the guns though.

Good looking .357 Smith.

The Rugers are always nice. Indestructable.

I like the SPS 1911 clone - you shoot IPSC?

What is the other auto - some Italian job?

[sceneshifter]

Viners butter spreader, Compaq water squirter and Deep Blue T100.

well done :lol:

i was getting worried...thanks

[WatchScout]

Thanks. Never seen that modern version before.

Looks huge, but of course very light weight as Ti.

The WWII sleeve daggers I have seen, were all very slender ...and not hollow.

[Karl]

yes i had couple of the normal versions Jesper, a crawford and a vintage one 8)

speaking of knives and such i know someone looking to sell a rare unused Ti emerson lagriffe if anyone's after one, i know they can be quite hard to find.

[WatchScout]

I like it and also the WWII ones.

Emerson - talk about quality!

I wanted a UBR Commander for the longest time, but as they can hardly be carried anywhere, I have so far withstood the temptation.

You or your friend should try selling the Emerson over on BB.

Emerson blades are usully very much in demand.

The LaGriffe is most excellent for opening those pesky TimeFactors packages BTW :wink:

Uh, OK. Two functional tools - the first from Citizen, the second from the Noodle House take-away.

Is that a multi-layered Japanese traditional Seppeku knife, I see before me!

[gray]

Oh yes, that's where flux capacitor came from, I knew I'd heard it somewhere :lol:

That IS rock bottom :shock:

And as far as I remember, your B&M Capeland is in very good condition too.
You have the full set with the funky strap and all?

Full set apart from one of the booklets. I usually have it on the funky strap but fancied a change and have settled into the sailcloth.

It's in good used condition :-)
