Got to keep up these cultural relations .

Or maybe a double-bladed knife, he could call it the Phat Phuk!

Well because of my job I can only celebrate for one day, but if I had my choice, I would bug you guys for days!

This week's edition, Latama customs, Tank's vision!

A new and exciting knife design by Bill DeShivs, the Xi yum yum!

The Chinese might steal it!

Good point!

Nice collection, you're right that roach is a bit much, they could've put a scorpion or a black widow on it.

I have found some very nice, well made knives that are made in China. I'm thinking about ordering them in quantity, laser marking them "PAYBACK by Bill DeShivs"- and selling them. What do you guys think? Not only would I be appropriating their design, but they would be manufacturing them for me! Th...

OK, I have to ask, what did you do?

Right now my desk is adorned with a ProTech Godson tuxedo and an 11in Frank B dark horn picklock. Today, during someone's lengthy monologue on a call I picked up the godson and fired it.

I have most of my collection in the living room under glass, so I see them every day. Every week I have a guest knife at my computer desk for "Flickin while Clickin". This week it's a 9" Frank B 2023 LE Honey Horn picklock, missing the woodies I sold last week!

A common carbon steel knife will work best, easy to sharpen, most high-end knives are made with steel that's impossible to sharpen.

Be careful with abrasive pads, a little descaler such as CLR mixed 50 50 with water will take care of any deposits and rust.

I think the LE 2023 are the best made Frank Bs I own and being picklocks are a plus, they're close to the Latamas. Eric, you'll have to share a picture of what you've collected so far.

Did Latama just start putting their knives in boxes? The ones I bought came in a ziplock bag and a velvet pouch. That's a beauty by the way!
