The title explains it, are there any fellow knife lovers here? :D

If so, what is your favorite knife (or favorite knives) ?

    Well, do you want just knifes, or swords and daggers?

    As for knifes, nothing, and I mean nothing beats a good old fashion Bowie Knife. I myself have one with a axe on the other side. I also have a butterfly knife, many pocket knifes, and a machete. I don't have alot of money so i don't invest in the better pocket knifes. So I'm not really sure about brands.

    Pretty much anything that has a sharp blade with a handle :P
    I have a Gerber survival knife, and it seems to be holding up to the tests I've put it through.

    I collect Japanese samurai swords - I have a Shimada wakizashi sword from the Muromachi period (15th-16th century). Wakizashi are shorter than the katana, with a blade of about 50 cm. I think they were worn with a katana, and were "backup sword". I have a wooden katana as well that I received as a present in high school, but I coulnd't ship it to the UK so it is still in my mum and dad's old house.

    My partner collects machetes for outdoor use; he finds them better for chopping wood than an axe, and easier on the wrist due to weight distribution. We have a few antique numbers we take camping with us.

    That does make me sound a tad scary though! Im a very peaceful person, honest!

    Oh, and I have a couple Japanese hand-folded steel kitchen knives that are AMAZING. You can't beat a Japanese knife!

    I'm not really knife guy, but I do love my Global chef's knife. I also have a Spyderco Sharpmaker to keep it sharp, because I took it to get sharpened once and they made it worse. I had to take matters into my own hands.

    I have a Swiss Army knife, but I'm not terribly enthusiastic about it.

    P.S. Please don't cut me for my lack of enthusiasm on the knife enthusiast thread.

    Love knives, I have a collection of pocket knives at the moment. My newest is a Gerber, but I am particularly fond of CRKTs. I'm hoping to inherit my dad's Machete in the DISTANT future.

    But, but... they have tiny scissors. That's the tiny knife equivalent of unicorns crapping rainbows.

    Lol it seems like all the calm people have all the weapons xD (which is true for all the people I know)
    And I made a mistake by buying a machete at walmart, the blade started to bend when I was working with it.

    Nice, carbon steel is really strong, except it rusts easy, which is the only downside for me because I use my knives in all kinds of environments :P
