Doc1647545523 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 The "old school" of knives: Case XX. They still sell them. I bought mine new in the mid-70's for less than a sawbuck. The bone handle has worn a bit and the main blade has taken a lot of abuse, but it still cuts like a scalpel. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Pict0001.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptn janks Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 ^ thats the sw knife i had, except mine had serrations on the blade. it was a fine knife, esp considering i only paid 10 bucks for it lol. only problem was the screws on the clip came loose on me. put em back on with some loctite and never had a problem again. ended up losing it somewhere downtown... had it when i went to work in the AM. when i went to go home, it was gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Favorite was a tanto-tipped, semi-serrated, Balisong. It fell apart on me and I haven't found another one like it. But now I carry a foldable utility knife. Happens to be a Husky, but I've seen some really nice ones out there. This one's a little nicer than mine: http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Hand-Tools-Cutting-Tools/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5Zaqdd/R-100020658/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 But I like the idea behind these. If you're carrying a knife just for opening things, these are perfect. The benefits of a utility knife (Super sharp, easy to replace blades, high strength) with the benefits of a pocket knife (foldable, safety lock, belt clip).

verse Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 http://www.bladehq.com/images/knives/Benchmade/14455BT.jpg This is what I carry on me daily, HK auto axis tanto blade automatic side-folder. It's made by Benchmade for HK. It's a great knife, pricey but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewhop Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 This is what I carry and use daily. I love the thing. Only problem I have with it is that I have to clean the blade assist way more then I would like. It get dust in it to easy. http://sogknives.com/store/TWI-8.html It is listed at 70 but I think I got it for around 35 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Who keeps a knife with them? I'm talking more utility and less Crocodile Dundee. What do you take with you? I've never owned anything besides a single-blade from Gander. Now that I am always opening toys for the kids, fixing little jobs around the house, etc, I'd like a cool knife. Small enough for front pocket. I'm leaning towards this - http://www.crkt.com/Guppie , but know zero about good vs bad knife companies. I don't know if you're looking for just a blade or something with some other features, but the Spyderco I pictured above has an EXTREMELY thin design. Unlike a lot of other knives that are really wide and waste space with grips, this thing (with the clip) is probably only 1/2" wide. Very comfortable to wear around everyday, you barely notice its there and, at least with the jeans I wear, I can fit it comfortably in the coin pocket.

cinergi Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 It depends on the need. I daily carry a variety of knives. I really like Spyderco, Benchmade and SOG for every day duty beat-the-hell-out-of and still keep going. I abuse my knives worse than anyone you know just to make sure they aren't going to fail when I need them. CRKT is good for a budget knife, but I don't recommend going any cheaper.

HotCarl Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I carry a Remington Sportsman series knife now but no matter what brand my knives always start falling apart a few months after using them, screws come loose etc... I hate it, I never lose my knives i keep them but hate trying to find a reliable one that is rediculously expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I carry a Smith and Wesson Extreme Ops, it was cheap and it does it's job around the shop and whenever I need it. Erica carries the same knife in her purse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
