Thanks dogg. I usta be a fixed blade guy until I got bit by the pocketknife bug. I still pick one up on occasion. For several months I've been mulling over a Buck 119 with Red Phenolic handles. They ran out at Copper & Clad but now I see they've restocked.

Maybe in February.

I don't carry it often but a guy at the range wanted to see my Benchmade Harley knife.

Jerry, I remember when the Buck Nighthawk came out. I always thought it was a good looking knife.

not really what I look for but I seem to end up with them: From top, A Kershaw USA 1900, An unused Buck 279, a CRKT Ken Onion that came in the last pos exchange, and the blue one is a Gerber. It would be a black knife if it was, you know, a different color.

These Cold Steel Recon 1 series knives impressed me a lot, especially for their sub-$100 price. Made in Taiwan, though. Still, very well made with S35VN blades and razor-sharp out of the box -- maybe the sharpest new knives I've purchased.
The photo doesn't do them justice -- they look "cheap" to me in the photo, but they are actually quite nice. What looks like black paint on the blades is actually extremely durable tungsten DLC (diamond-like coating).

I have a nice assortment of Benchmade folders that tend to be my back-pocket EDC blades (a traditional in the front pocket). Also have some black Spyderco knives, but I don't have photos of any of those. I'll have to get them together for some "family" photos.

How about some Emersons? I love the Wave Opening feature. They are easier and faster to deploy than an automatic knife, as well as being well-made of quality materials.
Oops... one non-black-colored one snuck in...

Top to bottom: CQC-7V, Mini-CQC-8 ("Horseman"), Roadhouse, Commander. Ugly but functional!

Looking back over the whole page, I am impressed with the variety and beauty and usefulness of these black knives.
