Got my first big boy blade in the mail today and I just LOVE it! It’s a 17 1/4" Dexter Connoisseur. Unlike all the other Dexters I’ve seen, this one doesn’t have the name and model stamped into the wood of the handle, instead it’s etched onto the blade. You can barely see the etching in these pics for some reason but you can see it with no problem in person. I might try to remove it, but I don’t know.
It seems mammoth in person, especially when compared to the joke of a knife I was using before. It’s really weighty too and just feels like a precision instrument. It’s easy to see why Myers would pick a knife like this as his weapon of choice.
I’m totally hooked on real blades at this point and I can definitely see a monstrous 19 1/2" beast in my near future.
Wicked! Nothing like a big ol’ butcher knife to make your day. The best knife I own is this guy:
Nothing to do with Michael Myers…it was a $100 knife when I bought it a year or so ago, but looks like they dropped the price to $55. I hate when that happens! I’m telling you, everything I buy from Amazon drops in value within a couple years.
Blades are something else I’d be collecting like a madman if I had the money. Katanas, broadswords, daggers, butchers, butterflies…anything and everything would look good on my wall or in my pocket
That’s a gorgeous clean looking blade brother! I see that 19 1/2" beast on eBay for 150…so tempted to pull the trigger, maybe if it was a bit cheaper I would.
When I first looked at your new knife I was thinking “that looks fake…he’s messing with us” lol. Then I was like “okay, get a grip buddy, that’s a real knife, this guy’s no liar.” Just goes to show how our perceptions can get the best of us.
Somewhat on topic, is anyone here into throwing knives? It’s such a fun hobby, I could do it for hours.
This is totally unorthodox, but would you mind taking a shot of it sliced into a block of wood or something? I fully understand if you’re not interested.
Thanks man! When I first saw it I was kind of surprised at how clean the blade was compared to most that I’ve come across. I’m having a hard time not buying that 19 1/2" beast too.
Lol, what the hell made you think that? There’s definitely no bullshit emanating from this sector
Thanks! Wish I’d have gotten one of these a long time ago.
I’m just paranoid in general…at one point I actually started to believe in conspiracy theories, lol…and I thought my own family was out to get me. I’m getting better though, but it’s hard.
A little paranoia is not always a bad thing. I’ve got a 12ga pump right under my bed and a holster mounted to my headboard with a 9mm in it, which some people might think was crazy or paranoid, but I just call it being prepared.

I would actually be more freaked out if you pulled that giant blade on me. At least a shot from a gun would be quick if you placed a shot lol When someone pulls a knife, they are either poor or like me would like to make the person suffer. I have been stabbed by a Swiss army knife and that was not very pleasant. I can only imagine what it would feel like to take that giant Dexter in the stomach. Kinda like when the dude gets stabbed in the stomach at the end of that movie purge. F that. I’m not paranoid, just sick in the head with a hint of anxiety lol
Is it a little worrisome if I’ve seldom wondered if stabbing a person in real life is anything like how it’s portrayed in movies? I mean, I’ve cut my finger with one of my knives once or trice, but I’ve never actually impaled anybody with one (and I hope I never have to).
Not at all. Of course I would only do it if its justified…like messing with my children and family. Then its on and all reasonability goes out the window and its on. But lets hope that never happens lol
Cause it freaking HURTS being stabbed or getting a bad deep cut that needs stitches. Not sure if you saw my post when I nearly lopped my thumb off but that wasn’t very pleasant. Lost alot of blood got super dizzy almost barfed couldn’t cool down with the van a/c right in my face on high etc etc…
You can think about it or even have dreams about it but when it comes down to actually doing it, I could, but only in good reason…but probably not lol
I’d only worry about that if you started thinking about how someones leg might taste after a good slathering of BBQ sauce and a little quality time in a smoker… after you stabbed them. Until then I think you’re good
I’d much rather be shot as well, lol. I’m a true crime fiend and reading about stabbings always freaks me the hell out. You got to be a real sick fuck to stab someone like 30 times in the chest…ugh, now I’m starting to freak myself out
Wow, the first answer is an amazingly accurate description of what it’s like to be stabbed deeply. When I was 13 or so I stabbed myself all the way through the hand with a crappy pocket knife while trying to cut a piece of electrical cable…it was exactly like that dude described. It sucked major ass but I learned a valuable lesson that day: always use the right tools for the job.
I heard a story about one of my English teachers in high school, that he was chopping up meat or something for his job, and it was freezing cold. He wasn’t looking at what he was doing, and he was actually chopping up his hand, lol. It was so cold that he didn’t feel it. I’m not sure if I buy that story, but…not sure why a dude would lie about that. And another teacher chopped his own thumb off with a table saw, whoops.
I’ve never cut myself bad. The worst time was when I stabbed my thumb down to the bone with a small but very sharp kitchen knife, like maybe 3-4 years ago. I was trying to separate hamburger patties and my hand slipped, ow! That side of my thumb is quite numb since I damaged some nerves.
Heres my worst thumb injury. Yeah, I’m weird, I like to take pictures when I injure myself This is the PG version. I was too busy grabbing my thumb trying to keep the blood in to reach for my phone Sorry if to graphic, I’m cool like that lol
Sorry if to graphic, I’m cool like that lol
