38superman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yes, I have my Kershaw on me at all times. I am often asked why I feel the need to carry a weapon. I don't think of it as a weapon, rather I view it as a very useful tool that can become a weapon if needed. If I feel the need to carry a weapon it will be something with more range than a folding knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 As of this moment it is a Bench Made Mel Pardue plain blade and a Leatherman Wave. Will alternate the Benchmade with a promo from the NWTF or a Super Knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyD Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Got a small Gerber folder in my pocket, love this little knife. My boss asks to borrow it a lot, it was cheap enough I might just get him one for Christmas so he stops bumming mine Edited October 23, 2013 by JohnnyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliedelta Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 It's 8:30 am and I am in my kitchen having coffee. I normally carry one on me, but I feel safe enough with the butcher block 15 feet away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfrits Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Kershaw Speedsafe 1980. It is with me ALWAYS along with a Sig 238. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I have a line on Kershaws. I have quite a few. I can't tell you what model I am carrying at all thimes, but I usually have one kind or another. (Ken Onion with the grip panels, others similar with the Tanto point) I usually give them to friends when they do something nice for me. I get two a year, and usually gift one, and just wear the other out. I use them for everything. If you meet me, and need to use a blade, just ask. I did have to give one up on a recent flight to Portland from Phoenix. That one hurt. JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTew Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Currently a Cold steel Voyager Tanto either 4" or 5.5". Sometimes the Spyderco with the Glock tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishnHuntIN Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Spyderco Delica 4 for the last few years. I've carried a Benchmade, a Keshsaw, and a bunch of cheapos before that. I've carried a knife on me every day (less air travel) for the last 10-12 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Interesting side note, I found out by accident that a Blackhawk Single Stack mag pouch will securely hold a leatherman wave. I find that it is better than the worn out leather pouch that it came with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyoneton Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 No, but I have one in my desk drawer and one in the console of the car. Otherwise it is just harsh language for defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 A lot of people are going with "defense". What about just as a simple tool? I use mine as a tool on a daily basis. I've never used it in defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBandit Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Always have my old Gerber and a leatherman micra. And as you said I use them as a tool for a lot of things. I guess I could use the Gerber for defense if needed, but it is more of a tool than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cas Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was at my sister's for christmas, as was my dad. My nephew needed to open something and asked me if I had a knife. My dad just started laughing. I said "well… I still have my coat on, so I actually have four knives." And then added, "what's even stranger is I have 5 flashlights with me." (that many isn't normal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasbag Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I am in the kitchen at the moment. I am surrounded by 47 knives. Does that count? I would certainly hate to not have a "man" card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) the running joke in my family is that if you need something cut, it's quicker to go to me than anywhere. I've carried something daily since I was probably 12. Currently have a bench made, and our school policy follows texas law (single edge blades less than 5.5"). There's a hunting knife in the truck, at least 2 different leatherman tools, and I've started custom making my own cooking and carry knives. Currently looking for my first OTF since they are legal here now! Besides being used to open plastic wrappers and cut stuff (did today already), I have since used a pocket knife to: Cut myself out of a tree during a work accident fend off a rabid dog cut line to save my car from being crushed break neighbors into their house when they locked themselves out make an Atl Atl while camping throw dramatically to keep stuff from blowing away I'm sure a whole lot more, but those come to mind as interesting Edited January 18, 2014 by steviesterno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 One of my fondest memories as a child was Dad and his Case Sodbuster (in black). He would use them and sharpen them until the blades were almost needles. Then we would buy him a new one for his birthday. One of the things I like about my current job is that I don't have to deal with TSA and can actually carry a decent knife again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Currently looking for my first OTF since they are legal here now! OTF = Out The Front (I had to look that up). How is the strength on one of those, I wonder? I'm kinda iffy on my waved Delica4...as it's interface between the blade and the handle doesn't give me lots of confidence. (Lateral wobble...I think it needs more surface area contact designed in.) I've started custom making my own cooking and carry knives. Interesting. Feel free to start a dedicated thread on that if you like. I'd like to hear about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to start a dedicated thread on that if you like. I'd like to hear about it. Microtech OTF knives are strong enough to penetrate 1/2" drywall with spring pressure alone. The blades are rock solid and will last forever if cared for properly. DO NOT put an OTF Microtech against your hand to see if it would go through upon pushing the blade release switch. No, I did not do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
