Favorite Knife

[Youngguns]

So, this thread was right beside the Snap-on screwdriver thread and got me thinking. Does Snap-on make a knife with their tried and true screwdriver handle (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/objects_lg/18900/18870.JPG)? I actually just recently felt my first Snap-on screwdriver handle, and I've gotta say, I like it. I think it would fit a knife really well.

Also, to stay on topic:
<a href="http://s1324.photobucket.com/user/Youngguns1782/media/IMG_0176_zps76304992.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u611/Youngguns1782/IMG_0176_zps76304992.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_0176_zps76304992.jpg"/></a>

This is my knife of choice. Dependable, inexpensive, comfortable.

HK branded Benchmade Entourage drop point auto is on my person every day. I have a nib Benchmade AFO II waiting in the on deck circle.

I don't carry knives every day, but when I do its something thats good for the activity in question. When hunting or fishing its one of my Finnish Puukkos or maybe the Cold Steel Master Hunter. For more general use folders likely to be with me are Buck 110 from 80's or maybe the Böker Magnum Damascus. And sometimes its something else.

But my absolute favorite is the Cold Steel Tanto also from 80's:

Benchmade Volli. I have arthritis, and the Griptilian/Mini Griptilian are hard for me to open. Has to be spring assist.

Right now it's a toss up between my large carbon fiber sebenza 21 and my spyderco manix 2 xl. The manix gets more pocket time when I want utility but the sebenza is hard to beat when I just want pure simplicity.

Fallkniven U2 seems to be spending a fair bit of time in my pocket recently.
Laminated powder metalurgy centre section (you can see the line about 4mm back from the edge where the steel that forms the centre lamination is).

Out of the box the sharpest knife I've ever picked up and that SGPS steel holds a very good edge, not a massive numb knife and I don't notice the weight in my pocket at all, plus its not even faintly "Tactical" looking which is type I'm not keen on.

 

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

Fallkniven makes great knives. How's that scandi grind do on a pocket knife?

 

[TEXINTEG]

Benchmade Osbourne

 

[Heavymetalmechanic]

Leatherman Wave everywhere, and a black anodized KA-BAR when I'm in the field/woods.

 

[NKlamerus]

Newest EDC is the Leatherman Skeletool.

I keep a Wave on my center console.

Is anyone on the EDC Forum?

I am. And as for the post above, I have the same setup. Bought the bit kit and extender as well for my surge, but don't use it too much.

How long did it take for them to "approve" your account? It's been 2 days now and Instead of binging on tools I'm binging on EDC!

 

[SuzukiGS750EZ]

I don't remember I've been a member for a few years. It probably took a couple days. One of the few forums that manually accepts people. But the forum is awesome, it covers such a wide array of areas. Blade forums is another great forum. I've been on there since I was able to use the Internet.

...Is anyone on the EDC Forum?

Reminds me of a youtube video where the guy says "My EDC today is a model .... "
Unless I'm missing something an "Every Day Carry" knife is one you in fact carry every single day.
If you choose a different one every few days just call it a pocket knife.

On a humorous note a forum for EDC knives seems like it could be pretty slow. You introduce yourself and your EDC; and then what, check back each year to confirm your EDC is still your EDC?

You would be really surprised how busy it is. I have been scoping it out until I get accepted.

Check it out! There are THOUSANDS of trinkets, tools, lanyard, etc....out there. Plus just like this site there are reviews on just about everything!

I think the EDC Forum might actually be busier than both my Duramax Forums Combined.

Altogether pretty good, I've not carved wood with it or anything, just general cutting stuff.

I'm most impressed with the steel.

X2. Everyone Raves about the Bubba Blade though and I have yet to try one.

I also want to try one of these on the next Flounder Gigging trip we take. Even though it's designed for skinning.

 

[NKlamerus]

I might have a new favorite. I'm getting a Zero Tolerance 0566BW for Xmas. I can't wait?!?!

 

[neonlazer]

Benchmade 707 and JUST received the 710. Awesome stuff!

 

[SASORacing]

Spyderco ladybug salt. Yelllow. .6 ounces. Very sharp. Salt version is an amazing rust proof steel.

Just picked this milwaukee 48-22-1995 fastback last weekend and im liking so far. For 3 years i carried a crkt m6. It was slim and light weight i liked it alot. But wanted something new.

 

[JrTech]

Crkt m16

 

[NKlamerus]

Crkt m16

I bought one a few weeks ago. Not a huge fan....but it is light and slim. Practically disappears in your pocket

 

[aaronrkelly]

I rotate between 4 different blades.

H&K Epidimic (made by Benchmade) - its an out the front automatic knife

Benchmade 3550 Mel Pardue automatic

SOG Slim Jim - this thing is very thin....disappears. Also assisted opening.

.....but probably the one I carry the most is a SOG Twitch - assisted opening

You seem to enjoy illegal knifes too much.

I've used this one nearly everyday of my life since my teens.

But, I have gutted and skinned 100's of deer with my good old Schrade lockblade.

 

[VersionOne]

Spyderco Pacific Salt-- rust proof, good diving knife.

 

[aaronrkelly]

Well in Iowa you can carry them with a weapons permit......and Im LEO so there aren't any knifes that are off limits.

.....but yeah....I do love my automatics....that's just a few of them.
