Knife info - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm really starting to get interested in collecting knives, and purchased my first today with a CKRT S-2, more on a whim than for any particular reason.

But for my next knives, I'd like to be a bit more informed.

What are some of your links for general information, as well as reputable Online dealers. Simply any links you visit on a regular basis. Or, if you suggest any magazines or books I'm all ears as well.

Hi Baldrick,

I like AG Russell, you can find them here: http://www.agrussell.com/

For handmade and custom knives: http://www.knifeart.com/

I am sure there are thousands more, these are just two good resources that came immediately to mind.

Check out Bladeart.com and 1sks.com.

Regziever · 08-26-2003, 08:57 AM

For really highperformance knives check:
http://www.fallkniven.com

This company makes knives for the Swedish military, even the US Navy and the US Marine have tested and approved these knives to be used by their soldiers in survival and combat situations.

Great links, thanks!

Now I just have to talk my wife into selling the children so I can afford to keep up with all my hobbies...

nowthen · 08-26-2003, 04:18 PM

Ahhhh tell me about it! I have managed to stay away from knifeart.com for a while, but while I was posting the link I couldn't help but have a little look.... I "spent" about $2,000 in my mind on the first page, I had to fight with my hand not to click the "buy" button

Root_Beer_Man · 08-26-2003, 10:32 PM

Thanks for the link

Fire · 09-24-2003, 10:41 PM

you might considder buying a book called Knives 2003 (or 2004) it is published every year and most book stores can get it. It's a great way to see what is going on in the world of knives, both custom and factory stuff......

MoNoXiDe_XXX · 09-25-2003, 02:32 PM

I like some of the stuff at http://www.knifezilla.com specialy cuz they ship to canada.

Fire · 10-03-2003, 11:25 PM

yeah- getting stuff into the frozen north is a cast iron bitch- looked into it late last year and found out that it was easier to ship knives to red china- half the shipping companies I talked to wouldnt even try....

Fire · 10-03-2003, 11:27 PM

speaking of which, what shipper does knifezilla use?

kel · 10-04-2003, 10:23 AM

I just bought some knives from knifezilla, and they came with virtually no edge. I couldn't cut myself or my fingernail em. Do they not come sharpened?

I bought:
http://216.71.158.68/webcat/product850.html
and:
http://216.71.158.68/webcat/product1504.html

Extremely disappointed, not even worth calling knives. Going to return em

Those are cheap Chinese made POS knives. The 420 steel won't take much of an edge period.
