Weapon shops

[tomone]

Ever since i was young I have always bin interested in weapons. From a young age iv collected knives and other weapons, out of pure interest in them. As i am in the UK it is much harder to get my hands on these things, such as tazers, knuckle dusters, guns (need a license). But most other thing are fairly simple to get hold of.

This thread is for everyone to talk about their weapon collections, and show/tell people where to get them. Here is one for people in the UK which is very good (knives and swords mainly((CS gas a sword canes for people outside of the UK)) Cold Steel Official UK Distributors - Buy Cold Steel Knives, Swords & Accessories (Im not sure if i can post direct links but i don't know any other way of doing it so please tell me and Il edit it).

There are many others but please post the best ones you know.

cold steel is crappy quality imo try for something nicer like buck or there was a company when i was younger i think it was diamon knives they had really nice stuff

[Pikkle Juice]

the reason "cold steel" is crappy to the average person is because
1)the average person cant temper steel with any commercial quality at all
2)"buck" and other companies use extremely precision cut molds of their knives so the steel(when cooled/tempered)has the natural shape of the mold which makes it more than durable enough to be used or sold

p.s
if i dont make since its because im incredibly intoxicated and ill be more than happy to answer any questions when i am sober

I have a very substansial knife collection. Ranging from Spyderco to SOG to Kershaw to Benchmade to Bradley. I actually just ordered a Bradley Kimura to add to my balisong collection.

Guns are a different story. I only have a couple, but they do their job, and do it well.

Yeah knives are relatively easy to get anywhere, I have tons. I really just buy cheapo M-techs for $10 from the local military surplus store. My nice knives include a Gerber, Spyderco Dragonfly, and a KA-BAR last ditch knife, I have a nice Winchester pocket knife too. Virtually all my other knives are M-techs that I bought purely for their looks. Though I also have a Stiletto switchblade I bought at the flea market from a shady character who was busted three weeks later for selling drug paraphernalia to minors.

One of my personal favorites though, is my WWI Trench Knife replica. I also have a kubotan (you should be able to buy anywhere, or make your own), a billy club (16 inch wooden club old school style), two blank firing pistols, and six real firearms. Guns are expensive though, so I don't make a habit of collecting them, just like chevy, my guns get the job done. I also have a set of knuckles made out of high impact plastic, I had regular brass knuckles too but I sold them. Back in 2005 when I was touring through central Europe I bought brass knuckles in Budapest, they had spikes on each knuckle. Considering I was foolish enough to buy them, I also tried taking them home too, I didn't get in any real trouble but the Bundespolizei weren't too pleased with me. I also forgot to mention my 50lb. pull pistol Crossbow.

Sorry for the long winded post, that sums up my collection not that I expect any of you to care.

P.S. if any of you live near a gun store or other shop that sells old militaria, you can find some really cool knives and other interesting pieces for cheap. I dig through the old boxes at my local gun store and find cool stuff all the time, I get discounts too because I'm pretty friendly with the dealer, always a good idea to get friendly with your local gun dealer.
