once you find one that suits your taste, very rare you will go for other brands.
unless the other brand is famed for other utilities, then its a diff story. like me, i am goin the way of the spyderco for folders if i wanted a multipurpose tool, i would go for victorinox or something. else if i want to continue collecting folders, i would only stick to one brand
the BM fillet knife is great wanna cut up some tuna

Okay fine lets do something constructive. everyone here i would say knows or at least has thought of what knives he targets and wants. well post it this is considering of course, price legality and awhatnot for me in no particular order (production models) -benchmade 690 -J.Adams MOD knife -J.Adams 3 piece british clasp knife (www.sheffieldknives.co.uk) -Al Mar Eagle and SLB -BKT7 -the Korsar by some russian company ( I can read german but I cant find the manufacturers name here) -Fallkniven F1 and U2 and TK 1,2,3,4 -Boeker Ceramik Zeta - and a douk douk - and a higonokami - why not some extrema ratio knives? Col Mohsin or shrapnel thats all i can come up with. now lets see what you got... marcus

Unfortunately my supplier only has knives, kitchen cutlery, tools, swords, sharpeners, lighting, outdoor, security, apparel, eyewear, ligthers, watches & gifts (manicure set). I will see if i can get other lubang on fishing stuff.

hmmmmm....... lightings? Like Flashlight? Can get a Surefire L1 cheap? Just curious that's all. Surefire in our country costs a BOMB!
Anyway, can you import fixed knives? Most knife collectors prefer folders than fixed knives. Me? I like 'em both as both of 'em have their pros & contras. Guys, wanna talk about it?

Well in my opinion, i would prefer folded knives cause they consume less space.. But as you well have said btard77 it has pros and cons too.. Folded knives may take longer to open in an untrained hand.. As for fixed knives, they require no unfolding.. Just whip it out and you are good to go.. Just my humble 2cents..

fixed blades i guess cos they are less practical than Folders... not at all worht the urban carry as we are used to, and if they do most malaysians opt for the easily replacable parang than a USD 500 custom not that i have see one...
i handled a spydercard (discontinued) before back then i didnt like the spyderedge. now i regret not picking it up just cos the shopkeeper was slightly rude dammit
BTW Swaye, Balisongs: if you read Tactial Blades/Knives (there is a flip through copy in Borders Time Square, heheh) they have an article on Ultimate balisong with proper grips at the side and slippy handles and S grind grips and whatnot. I personally dont do the balisong thing cos firstly i cant handle the whole non lock thing and that utilitairian wise its hard to reason... moreso secondly i cannot flip without looking like a fool. basic windmill is my "trick" heheh
