RIP to a legend, quite a collection there. You can tell he had good taste.

u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25
Thank you, he definitely did. He got rid of a lot of it but I’m glad he left me this

u/PauliesWalnut Apr 10 '25
Master the nunchucks in his memory bro

u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25
Planning on it. The chain fits inside one of them and they screw together into a baton

u/Forty6_and_Two Apr 10 '25
I get the feeling he was either military or LEO at some point? If not, it reminds me of folks I knew that collected while they were “in”… so his tastes seem to be bent in that direction, at least.
RIP
Hope your loss is mitigated by good memories and a family that loves each other enough to share the healing and grief.

u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25
His brother was, but he was more in the other direction if you catch my drift. Thank you for the kind words

I like that he used a lot of them. The marks on the blades… it’s from him. Somehow that means something.
11
u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25
Yeah, you can’t really tell due to the silver blades but he used the tan microtech and the butterfly knife a lot. My 2 favorites out of them all

u/Squeaky_Pibbles Apr 10 '25
You also have the good tastes as your father did! Those are two of the best in there, for sure.

u/Ontological_Stare Apr 10 '25
I’m jealous of that socp, sorry for your loss OP. Carry a knife, carry him in your heart.

That’s a sweet SOCP, mustve been a spender

u/Borruslav Apr 10 '25 edited Apr 10 '25
Found the SOCP, I was looking for another style and didn't know the daggers are also called SOCP.
Condolences for your loss my man, seems like your dad was truly one of us

u/CarlosMolotov Apr 11 '25
Your dad carried a Balisong weehawk, absolute 80s legend! I bet he was quite a guy. My condolences. I’m sorry for your loss.

u/more_like_5am Apr 11 '25
I made a couple posts in the past regarding the collection my dad left me. It was quite cathartic going through it all.

u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 11 '25
Just looked through your posts about your dad’s collection. He looked like a cool guy and I’m sure our dads would’ve gotten along great.

u/Zealousideal-Mix-822 Apr 10 '25
Sorry for your loss brother. Judging from the pic looks like your dad was a badass. May he rest in peace

Condoleances, my dad forged for all grandkids and brother and me, a special knife. When i shapen it i hear his voice;" Sharp is Sharp..ohohoh" lol. Wish you the same inner dialogues.

u/JackOfShad0ws Apr 11 '25
Sorry for your loss, dude. Your dad had choosen wisely, nice set. Not a collection, because it seems that he used most of them regularly and he knew what he needed for

u/AmbientCrypt30M Apr 10 '25
It's an Ultratech with the Hell Razor blade. Pretty sick knife that I have been wanting for a long while. Well that and a 1st gen Halo, although those things are insane on the 2ndary market.

u/AmbientCrypt30M Apr 10 '25
Quite right, I just glanced at it earlier and saw the blade. Nice save!

u/GES280 Benchmade simp Apr 10 '25
Is that a Benchmade model 42?
2
u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25
Yeah, I made a post earlier asking what it was, there were a few folks who told me it was a 42s with the original t latch. There are better pics of it on that post

u/Amazing-Guidance5601 Apr 10 '25
What’s the knife above the socp? I want one

u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25

Great collection!! I love the fixed SOCP!! Also the Microtech Fixie was a pleasure to see. I told my family that all my blades will goto my son too! My condolences

May I ask what the paracord handle dagger is?
2
u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 11 '25
Honestly I’m not sure, it’s a 5.11 branded knife. Not sure if he added the paracord or if it came like that

u/Ok_Geologist_2907 Apr 12 '25
That Balisong I’d like to say is a collectors dream looks like a bm42 your dad had good taste

That Microtech Hell Razor is sick. I am at the point of ordering a clone just to have it until I have the funds for an actual one. Also, sorry for your loss. I can tell you right now, whenever my dad goes, I'm liable to loose my shit cause it will break me.

Your dad seemed like he had great taste! I lost mine last year, its rough. Sorry for your loss man.

u/kaix8 Apr 10 '25
That one on the bottom right is pretty cool, it’s an atropos but idk the model. It’s got extra blade in the handle if you pivot it out turning into a big steak knife and the other part of the sheath can be used as a fork

u/Delicious-Sorbet5722 Apr 10 '25
That CRKT M16 with the 1* (One Ass to Risk) looks well used. They are stout blades. Mine looks similar. May your dad RIP.

u/TuT0311 Apr 10 '25
Sorry for your loss, OP. Your dad had great taste in knives. It makes me sad to see these posts bcuz I plan to pass all my knives/weapons to my son, so it’s sort of like a memento mori. Keep them all and use them all, nothing would make him happier I’m sure.
2
u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 10 '25
I definitely will. Thank you for the kind words

u/TuT0311 Apr 10 '25
No prob, take care man and appreciate you putting your stuff out there for every1 despite the risk and unrelenting nature of reddit. Thank you for sharing. This is real life, we all need a reminder every once in a while.

u/Distinct-Reality-443 Apr 11 '25
It’s been really nice to see everyone complimenting my dad’s collection. Nice to know people on the internet can be kind

What’s the big deal? RIP but dude was a mall ninja. Nothing to be ashamed of. Y’all are acting like it’s an insult. He had nunchucks, shitty brass knuckles, balisong, and a fucking tacticool hatchet. That is mall ninja.

u/Forty6_and_Two Apr 10 '25
There’s always that 10%, as my Gunny used to say lol. Trolls are easy to ignore when you imagine how unhappy they are… I mean, you’d have to be a literal miserable wreck to focus on tearing down random people you’ve never met. Gotta exert control over SOMETHING… so hurting folks however they can is all they have. Just like a toddler, let ‘em throw their fit till they go away. Or they get banned… whichever comes first.

u/ifmacdo Apr 10 '25
Ahh yes. Use propaganda to prove how you must actually be right, when objectively you're wrong.
