TOPS / Buck CSAR-T 095
This is my most recent acquisition. I became mildly obsessed with this knife recently, found a decent price on a used one on eBay (complete with the tool set) and decided to splurge.It's heavy & the liner lock is oddly tough to disengage -- but…

Camillus CK9: The knife used by Dual Survival's Grady Powell
Posted on May 5, 2016 at 22:12 3 Comments 2 Likes
Recently I had the chance to watch another episode of the current season of Dual Survival, & again got to see Grady Powell using the Camillus CK9. Somewhere I saw someone online stating that Grady Powell designed the knife, but I have not yet been able to confirm or deny this. Camillus has very little detail on the CK9 on its website, & of course TOPS doesn't have anything public about this on its website because it's not technically a TOPS knife.

This video from Gough Custom Knives just floored me -- his shop is so clean, & his work so measured... This was 12 minutes of video worth watching, especially for those of us who have aspirations to make beautiful knives ourselves.

KnifeMakerChris Mounce said… That knife is actually for a good friend of mine. He wanted something unique and one of a kind but not to flashy. He loved it and wants a Bk-9 done next so I think he might be getting the Ka-bar bug too! Gotta love it! Really glad that I found you guy's...most people get bored with all my knife talk. Lol

I started out sewing by hand, and later bought a heavy duty machine. I've actually been giving serious thought to selling my sewing machine and pursuing other hobbies.
