The Aerosmith lead singer has a long-held affection for knives. He even wore one on his hip while a judge for “American Idol.” He has twice made the news for shopping for knives in Las Vegas at Bonds House of Cutlery.
The latest came in 2015, when he has a three-hour private demonstration of both kitchen and sporting knives at the store. He ended up purchasing a huge amount of knives, which the store owner said he likes to give away as gifts to friends.
Joe Perry
That’s right, two knife fans in one band. Aerosmith should be the unofficial rock band of choice for knife lovers everywhere. Perry can be seen in this video taking out one of the knives from his collection.

He’s also raised money for breast and prostate cancer treatment and prevention. He also paid for the first wooden basketball court ever built on the island of St. Croix, which is where Duncan is from. And, according to the biography on his website, he has a large knife collection. Among his treasures: a three-foot samurai sword.

Knives also play a big role in the film “Cobra” and “Cliffhanger,” both of which star Stallone. The actors displays knives on a wall in his home.

To all searching for an EDC (Every Day Carry) knife, look no further. You have found the the “Fountain of Blades:. The moment you place one in your hand, it is automatically going to feel like an extension of your arm/hand. Simply put, nothing is even in KRUDO’S class. Every blade sold is personally inspected by Louis Krudo. If he sees any imperfection, no matter how minor, the blade is classified as a “second”. Well, I have purchased several of these “seconds” at a greatly reduced price and nearly gone blind trying to find the “imperfection”. Never have. In addition to Louis’s genius for design, his lovely wife, Andrea, provides the best customer service I have ever experienced!! Do yourself a favor . Stop searching for “The Blade”. It’s right here. You will not be disappointed. Det. Sgt. Kenneth Damato #615 CT State Police Firearms Unit;

Google “Tom Hardy pineapple t-shirt” and look at his pockets. He’s definitely an EDC guy as you can see what looks like a folder, flashlight and possibly a pen in some tactical style trousers.
