Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops



When you need a fixed blade knife but for some reason have to choose a folder; this is a good pick. This is a very robust liner lock folder from Smith & Wesson. I've carried this knife in the jungle and it lives up to its catchy name. The rough handle of the Extreme Ops gives a nice grip even when wet. I also really like the tight folding mechanism. But the fact that I can't find any information on this specific model makes me suspect this could be a counterfeit. If you recognise this model and have some information for me; please let me know.
Counterfeit or not; this knife has done it's job well so far.

Indian Kukri set





This is a nice looking Kukri set; a bargain I made on a flea market. The knives are intended just for show, but I guess the bigger one could deliver quite a decent chopping blow if sharpened and used in the field. You can really make good deals on these type of knives in some market places. But bare in mind that many of these kukris are just souvenirs.
