KNIVES?

[KBG]

What is your favorite liner-lock, lock-back or fixed blade that you carry on a daily basis? Mine is the Kershaw Storm II with the serration but I'm thinking about a new Kershaw Shallot?

[gustav129]

A $5 Winchester folding knife I got myself for christmas two years ago.

[hoytinak]

I'm a fan of the Kershaw's myself. These are my two main carry knives.

In my humble opinion, Benchmade makes the finest non-custom knives out there. My EDC is a 550 Griptillian that has done 2 tours in Iraq. A close second is just about any Swiss Army Knife.

[grymster2007]

I carry an A.G. Russell feather Lite, Clip Point in ATS-34 Stainless Steel. It's light (1.5 oz.), fairly sturdy and the steel, field-sharpen-able blade takes and holds a sharp edge.

[3 gun]

I keep a Cold Steel Voyager in my pocket along with a Leatherman on my belt. From what I've seen the CS knife is right at the point of diminishing returns. Sure there are better knives out there but at what cost? I got mine for $35, seven years ago. It's light, slim and holds a scary sharp edge well. The Leatherman is built like a tank. Both blades hold an edge, open and lock easily and seem easy to replace if damaged. Hard to fault the tool but I wouldn't buy one new given the views held by the owner.

[Kenpo]

Fixed blade I carry a Benchmade Nimvarus cub

[Swampghost]

Swiss Army 'Tinker' in the pocket at all times. Gerber drop point with gut hook in the field.

[Son of Seeker]

I always have a CRKT multi-tool and/or a Elk Ridge hunter-skinner.

But I also like a good Gerber folder, or a Buck 110.

[Bill DeShivs]

I carry a SOG Flash 1.
And I have an awful lot of knives.

[skeeter1]

"In my humble opinion, Benchmade makes the finest non-custom knives out there."

Yes. I have a Benchmade, too, liner-lock. My Gerber lever-lock that I got from my dad 35 years ago is still going strong. For everyday, I carry a cheap (~$10) Maxam 2.5" liner-lock. I figure if I lose it, so what?

Yeah, I've got a big USMC Ka-Bar, but rarely use it. A couple of Italian stilletos, a few other pocket knives, and a drawer-full of cheap-to-expensive kitchen knives.

[rsh32crew]

I carry a Kershaw, or Gerber Gator, my friend swears by benchmade. Benchmade also has a lifetime warranty with a 5.00 charge for resharpening.

[rantingredneck]

I have several leatherman folders that do most of the daily carry work.

I keep a CRKT crawford falcon in my laptop bag. It's a little large for the daily grind of cutting packages and stripping wires and such.

[Sam06]

My EDC folder is a Benchmade a friend gave me after I lost my Cold steel folding knife. I just got a Cold Steel Roach belly knife(for 10 bucks) to use as a skinning knife. I have dressed 3 deer this year with it and I must say it rocks! The sheath is crap but the knife is a hoot to use. I ordered 3 more of them. I cannot tell you how many sheath knives I have lost skinning deer and elk. I guess I get all excited after the kill, gut the thing out and leave my knife in the woods for someone to find. I figured I would go with a cheap knife but one that was well made. The Cold Steel Roach belly fit the bill to a T. The sheath is not all that bad. It does the job and what more do you want with a $10 knife.

I just picked up a SOG Twitch II. I like it so far. It will probably get some carry time.

[P97]

Hand made knife by Joel Chamlin.

[AK103K]

I just picked up a couple of these fro AG Russel for $18 ea. (usually around $55 everywhere else I've seen).

Pretty cool little knife. Opens by rollong your thumb across the top. Liner lock with an additional lock on the back that locks the lock, and a button to unlock the liner lock. Hollow ground, with a somewhat unconventional grind on the blade.

Normally carry one or two of these too.....
Boker Automatic Kalashnikov, a Benchmade Pardue 3550, or a Benchmade Striker 9100.

Fixed blade, one of these two....

Gerber MKII

or a Blackjack Model 1-7

[NormOps]

I am a knife freak. I have dozens. I build knives, have made several custom blades for people. I've been carrying a knife for the majority of my life. then I got my current job, and obviously you can't be packing a weapon (YES, I said WEAPON) in a secure area, so now I rarely carry anything. But my current folding knife that I carry when I can is the Kershaw like the one in the picture above, but in the tanto/serrated style.

the fixed blade that i most recently fell in love with is the SOG Field Pup. Great knife.

[JohnRaven]

I carried this one for almost 2 years. Then I carried a camo one for about a year.http://www.flames-n-knives.com/auctionpics/blueridge/BR-SCHXT9B.jpg


Then I got this! I use it ALL the time! Its a bit pricey at $70, but I got mine for FREE! :D

[Son of Seeker]

P97 and AK103K: those are some amazing knives!!:eek:

where does somebody get a Gerber MKII like that??

[tomh1426]

My usual EDC is a D2 Benchmade Griptillian
When I carry a fixed blade Its my CRKT Ringed Razel
Also I find myself carrying my Benchmade 42 every now and then, Its not really practical but Its alotta fun :cool:
No pics 4 U ;)

[AK103K]

Son of Seeker,

If your looking for a MKII, you can try Ebay. I've seen quite a few over there over the last year or so, but be prepared to pay, they have become pretty pricey.

The one in the pic is one of a pair I bought back in the late 80's early 90's. I never liked the ones with the serrations, and these were the last plain, wasp waisted blades I've seen offered.

[foggy]

I like Spyderco and edc the ATR :)

[Erik]

"What is your favorite...?"

Spyderco Pikal

[sureshots]

I like my Puma. The older Bucks are hard to beat also.

[herbie1]

Spyderco Tenacious.

Small enough to carry.
Big and sturdy enough for most jobs.
Cheap enough not to cry too much if I break or lose it.

I have a Spyderco Volpe for when I am feeling pretty.
I don't carry it much because it is too nice to use.

Also have a Kershaw Leek. I carry it when I dress up and don't want the bulk of the tenacious.

BTW, I am a Spyderco fan. The look rather ugly, but their ergonomics are great.

[WESHOOT2]

In my pocket: 100th Anniversery Buck two-blade 'pocket knife'.

In my 'man-purse' a Glock serrated bayonet, one very old (and very dear) no-name boot knife, one Cold Steel lightweight folder, and a few Swiss Army pocket knives of varied configuration.

[James R. Burke]

I always like the case line up. Always had one. Smokey mountain knife works has a lot of differnt brands. You might give them a try. There prices are pretty good, and they have about everything.

[KC9LDB]

CRKT Ryan
http://kis.net/0006/ryan7bt.jpg

And Gerber Recoil
http://www.gerber-tools.com/images/Recoil-Auto-Plier-large-8474.gif

The CRKT was only $9.00 at Frys one day, I bought 3 gave two to my LE buds, kept one for myself

[odsixer]

Kershaw whirlwind is my favourite for edc(lightweight yet very solid with spring assist opening). Can't be beat for the price but right now I'm carrying a benchmade osbourne, great knife also but a lot more money than the whirlwind(and quite a bit heavier)

[tomh1426]

I have a kershaw whirlwind that I carried for a few years, Its a great knife but it got really loose after a while. No adjusting this amount of blade play.
For a little bit more you can get a Benchmade griptilian which should be the last EDC you ever buy.

[Regolith]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Koloblicin/Knives%20and%20Guns/Shadow-Spyderco-Native-08.jpg
Spyderco Native in S30V. I have that on me pretty much whenever I'm wearing pants.

I also carry a Victoria Classic SAK on my keychain.
