2talltim Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I carry a S&W Extreem Ops..they are great little knives for the money think i paid $20 for this one you can get them half serrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Most of the S&W knives I've looked at weren't very sharp at all out of the box.Was looking at these anyone have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I carry a kershsw Ken onion its small, sturdy, and keeps an edge. Mine is half serrated. I had one of those S&Ws and I pitched it because if you open it with a normal flick the bar to release the blade got stuck and it was hard to close.

crb Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Oh you are looking a little bigger. I like SOG I have their multitool and the blade on it is very tough. I was going to pickup a flash 2, last weekend but fin,feather,and fur Ashland was out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I've looked at some of the smaller ones and I have a small buck that is razor sharp and just holds an edge forever but the smaller ones frankly are just too small. I've also been looking at the kabar tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I just ordered a Kbar tdi fixed blade for weak side carry. Hopefully the Kabar arrives Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Head to Tractor Supply, Just bought one there the other day... I ended up with the S&W but they have Gerber and 2 or 3 other kinds and all priced between $18 and $35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crb Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000IHBA0O/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true&ref_=oh_o00_s00_i01_detailsThey have them for $30.xx on kabar site, but they want $8.50 shipping. Amazon offered free super saver shipping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZivRcSnPyw Spyderco is another good brand.

conn-e-rot Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 is that the full size or the smaller one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Love my Benchmade presudo 520That does look nice a tad heavier than the others I've looked at. How well does it hold an edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's the smaller one. I'm going to see how I like it and go from there. I like that it clips behind the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiggy74 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Love my SOG Flash II, carry it every day, shirt/tie included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I picked up a Kershaw One Ton from ballisticreload.com for like 14 shipped, bought 2 after watching a few reviews. Not serated which I wish it was BUT it's sweet. No color option so it is red and black, but blade is RAZOR sharp out of the box.Also the clip looks like a wrench, hey it's the small things like this that make me smile.I saw that the wally world in Lancaster carries Gerber, Kershaw, and a few other good brands too actually. This was as I bought them out of .223 ammo again. Gotta try the 2 local Wally's this weekend too, picked up another 50cal ammo can to fill.

fizzer Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I got one of these with a non-serrated blade for Christmas and it has served me well thus far, but only having it 2months I can't speak to its long-term durability. Wish the thumb studs were a little longer but otherwise very happy with it so far.Smith and wesson SWMP3BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have an older gerber that has held up pretty good but it's too big for everyday carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 If you want sharp and relatively cheap, CKRT.Step up, Spyderco.Next American made Benchmark.Personal experience with all those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxnut Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Love my SOG Flash II, carry it every day, shirt/tie included.Same here. Love the Flash II. With the clip on this knife, the knife itself is inside your pocket, all you see is the clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Most of the S&W knives I've looked at weren't very sharp at all out of the box.Was looking at these anyone have one?That's what I have been using for the past year ir so. Holds a great edge. Easy to get razor sharp. Would highly suggest it for the money. Sog makes a good knife.
