A few of my tools

Post by Kshatriya » Fri May 06, 2011 8:45 pm

Hi,
I have been a member of IFG since long & have had the pleasure of following the discussions here for almost 5 years now, & I thought, it'd be be good to share a few snaps of the blades/tools that I have had over the years.
I would be uploading the snaps of my Rifle & a few blades at a latter date as I have yet to click them in a presentable condition.Though I have had firearms for long, the love for blades was started, inadvertently, by a gift from eljefe, when he visited my town a few years back, with a small folder. Though I have not been able to keep in touch with the Doc all these years, I will always be grateful to him for starting me into this wonderful world of blades.Thanks to choombak & Bruno22, for their valued advise & help.

Hi Kshatriya, thats a lethal keychain you have there :D The 'Stinger' is so cool. I do have a 'thing' for small blades. The ZT is what dreams are made of! Its a lovely piece. Awesome collection. May it grow with many more wonderful 'sharp' objects. I am honored to be mentioned. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing

Great blades there, Kshatriya. Thanks for sharing.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Kshatriya,

Whats the black plastic cross like article in your key ring in the first picture? It does remind me of a particular tool for a rather unmentionable task. :wink:

Bruno,

Absolutely unassuming piece of plastic! Well, the same design, in a larger proportion is used for dressing deer. Please don't ask me how. It's quite gory.

Thanks for the info.

The black tool has been correctly identified, it is a Comtech Stinger, an impact tool. I have a few more of such impact tools, please check them out.

There was a little problem with some of the er, impact tools, coming from an old and hon'ble design. To prevent some young and impressionable mind reading more than info, pic has been edited , in the interest of keeping within guidelines
keep on collecting


PS. Mods, I have removed the contentious item from the snap that I had posted earlier, please allow the new snap, if it does not violate any forum rules.

Nice collection you have here Kshatriya!

Makes two of us on this forum who own the ZT 0121

Image

Coming from the same company another one of the knives that I own is the ZT 0100 CPM 3V steel. The ZT's do not come better and tougher than this. The handle seems like it is just molded for your hand and allows you to hold it any way you would want to and the steel speaks for itself.

Rajat, the 0100 sure is a charmer, I am myself on the lookout for a 03xx series folder, but the ones that I like have assisted opening. Is the ZT proprietary Speedsafe assisted opening same as an automatic opening knife, the kind that prohibited by The Arms Act?
Would appreciate any pointers regarding this, as 0301 & 0302 with their tiger stripes look too good to ignore :)
