Well I am not good at throwing knives but maybe this xmas gift will change this lol A condor throwing hatchet and it is sharp allready knicked myself so deep and clean didn't know it till I was dripping blood all over. I love pointy things LOL

I'm bad when it comes to knifes. I think they take as much room as my guns do in the safe. I have about a dozen of these Anza knifes. Most of them are made from files. I have some that go back to the early 80's, never been sharpened.

I wonder if my kitchen cutlery counts as I have a number of those all of which are Japanese made. In my opinion they forgot more about fine blades that the rest of the world has learned yet. Now these are just part of my collection, cooking is my real hobby and passion by the way.

I have we me a Leatherman wave if outdoors and a basic leatherman if working. A leatherman micro goes with me everywhere but through TSA. When I fish and hunt I have two Cold Steel Tanto blade folders or a CKRT fixed blade 5". Old Timer little finger saw a lot of fur in the 80's. I carried a Gerber Multi-tool for a while before I went to Leatherman's and a couple of Old Henry Stockman and trapper models. I have a few others but would not be very sorry if they were traded.

I do have a couple others that are my favorite also, working swords in other words they will cut and not break even better than the antiques.

Nice who is the maker of those swords? Just curious I have the blind mans walking cane. it is not really a functional blade it is high carbon but had no edge to begin with and the temper sucks on it. Mine was made by henwii or somthing like that I would like to get a full set someday of functional swords on a standlike yours but a 3 blade set.

I'm not sure who makes them as they where a gift from my first Karate institutor who was also a master swordsman. I got them back in the mid 70's when I got my first black belt from him. I also took his sword training which he didn't teach to most but only selected students. Instead of a rank etc he gave us working swords as a graduation gift. He is long since gone as he was pretty old back then. These where made by the same that made his swords. The sword bags are Mashiro that I bought those after Hurricane Andrew destroyed the bags they came with as well as scatter most of my sword collection to the wind when it blew away my home. I collected swords working swords for a few years in several styles and periods of history. Andrew put an end to that however and these are all that survived the storm that I could recover.
