    The m miguron pagos is one of the best looking knives I've seen lately
    I'm no fan of front flippers but I'd buy one
    Maybe for myself for Christmas or something.
    This company makes full custom production knives costing hundreds of dollars this one is 45.00

    I forgot to post this IMG_20250422_185451403_HDR~3.jpg
    I bought 2 of the swamp rompers
    Both are very well handmade with nice thick leather sheaths second to none
    High carbon they will discolor if not maintained
    I like them with patina.
    They're still on sale for 50.00 at Chicago knife works
    The 6" low drag is about 80.00

    A traditional K-BAR is hard to beat.

    I've got a soft spot for them. They're the first more expensive knife I bought. Before that it was gas station folders and Bud K cheaper knives.

    Combat tested. Apparently approved...still in use 80 years later. I don't own any high dollar knives. Those type items are too 'valuable' to me and would only cause anxiety.

    I certainly understand that. There's some very nice knives out there, that I would love, but I can't bring myself to spend 300-400 bucks on a knife. Winklers are one of those brands. 100-150 is my max, and most of those don't get used. I think that Mark 1 was about 60 bucks when I got it.

    Here's one for today. It's a rotation depending on my mood and color preference.[​IMG]

    Picked these up a while back for a few bucks. I will admit that the Collins is a bit much for EDC. My Aunt was a medical missionary in Ecuador. She said every one carried machetes and the end of most arguments among the locals was "One more word and I stick you up to the second 'L' in Collins"! It is an older one and the same as I had as a kid in coastal Georgia. The Case knife is also older, the same as I carried for bird and trout as a young boy. The Linder Cheyenne was just a target of opportunity along with the others. All nice items along with a trip down Memory Lane!

    Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help or offer guidance on finding the Torx screws that hold this Stone River knife scales on…. I don’t even know when they loosened up and fell out, recently- this was my dad’s EDC right up until his terrible choice to leave this world of his own volition 6 years ago last week…

    Any useful advice will be tremendously appreciated.

    I wonder if a crafts type store would have an assortment of small screws like that, that you could take your knife in and try to find the right size maybe. That's the only think I can think of. Not sure if that helps or not.

    Possible amazon has what you need. Just a quick search produced this:

    Benchmades use a T6, not sure about yours though.



    Seems I can’t get the link to work.

    I needed screws for my knife's clip and I found a very knowledgeable guy

    screw4you | eBay Stores

    Use the contact button, send him a pic and let him know what you're looking for and he probably knows exactly what you need.
