38supPat Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 I always have either my CRKT or Spydeco Endura folder on me...both have proven useful for everyday tasks Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter K Posted September 30, 2001 Author Share Posted September 30, 2001 Pat, which model (CRKT)? Usually I have a CRKT "Patton" (small folder) in my pocket. It is not too large. I have a Spyderco Military also and this knive is toooooo large for everyday-use! A friend gave me a Cold-Steel neck knive as a gift. This knive is REALLY SHARP!

Ron Ankeny Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 I like Benchmade knives. Have you looked at http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Ron, ditto on the Benchmade! I keep an AFCK tucked inside my waistband everyday. Light, sharp, and opens fast. I keep a Swiss Army officer in my pocket for a tool. The Benchmade is for emergencies. Surefire 6Z flashlight. Benchmade AFCK. Springfield 1911 in .45 ACP. I don't know. They're just material things, but they sure make me feel good. (mebbe the male equivalent to diamonds are a girls best friend.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Dunlop Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I've got one of those Gerber little Applegates. I lost the double edged one and replaced with the single. Its a bit big, and the blade stains quite easily, (a problem with ATS34 I gather) but its a lovely knife. Not quite jewelry, but certainly the worlds dearest bloat knife!

icer Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Have been carrying a Benchmade 750SBT Pinnacle for two years now.......titanium handle and very useful blade.......tuff knife.......won't be flying with it anymore I guess. Christmas gift to myself this year will be a large Chris Reeves Sebenza........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Chevalier Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Emerson CQC-7B. Light, superb balance, easy to keep sharp - get the Spyderco Sharpening System for any knives you hope to keep properly honed - and "super reliable don't cut your finger off" lock. Yup I'm biased. $ 4 $ you cannot lose with an Ernest Emerson product. Cheers, Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 Personally, I love Cold Steel and knives and their products overall. I use them at work (LEO) and everywhere I go. The are very reasonably priced, cheaper than most knives and their quality is at a minimum just as good and most times, the quality is better. Rugged and deathly dependable doesn't even begin to describe them. Every Cold Steel knife and product I've owned has been ungodly sharp and almost indestructable. Great price, fantastic quality, incredible sharpness and edge retention with an indestructable quality makes for a great carry/everyday knife. And no, I don't work for the company, just a very satisfied, happy customer that has been assisted many times "on the job" by their products. I like the Emerson, Mad Dog, and Spyderco knives as well, just not as impressed with quality on Spyderco and the price is very high on Emerson and Mad Dog.

Avalanche Posted October 7, 2001 Share Posted October 7, 2001 My choices are CRKT and Cold Steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fletcher Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I have one for everyday of the week...lol I have my CRKT Apache II and my Benchmade Elishewtz for everyday/work knives. I have a small Beretta on my key chain. My dress Knives is a Benchmade ARES 730BT. And when I want to get my point across I use my Cold Steel SRK. And of course I have a Leatherman. I like to take that whole 'Always come prepared' statement to the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 CRKT M16-02Z - Tanto point, love the Carson flipper one recommendation, lock-tite the small screws on the belt clip, they work loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jordan Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Elishewitz Prodigy w/ carbon fiber scales. You gotta have ONE custom folder. Besides, it goes great great with my Wilson Combat CQB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 1, 2001 Share Posted November 1, 2001 I know this isn't "cool," but my favorite everyday knife is a little buck 3 blade folder. It's maybe 3" long. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svshooter Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I'm with you Brian, I've been carrying the same small buck knife for about 10 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talon Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I didnt see anybody mention the Kershaws. Great knives and legal almost autos. For those of you who carry a knife with the ideal of using it as a defensive weapon give a long hard look to the type of lock your knife has.

Flexmoney Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I was just going to ask about those Ken Onion designed Kershaw knives. Can anyone elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icer Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Flex--- The Ken Onion designed Kershaw's are impressive little knives.......and they sell at a very reasonable price. Quality has been uniformly high and customers are happy with the user-friendliness they exhibit........especially the chive and scallion models. Great for everyday pocket carry. I would say the two best deals in knives today are the products from CRKT and Kershaw........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Got me a Kershaw Ken Onion clipped to my pocket right now. I carry it everywhere, everyday. I used to even carry it on airplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Erik, Ghost Cat got me a tiny little Ken Onion for Christmas. (1600BLK) It's a "black chrome" looking thing - looks sweet. It's perfect for your "everyday general cutting." (3" closed, 5" open) be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Mine didn't cut a stack of scoresheets very well the other day. (I'm D class in the blade division.) Designated scoresheet-holder Shootergrrl was genuinely frightened, and that was even before she read about Jack Barnes and Tawn. Xmas present already? Either Ghost Cat needs to look at a calendar or you've been shaking your presents under the tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpcdivr Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Have a bunch of Cold Steel stuff. Great for use in the bush or for training (properly, of course). Use an old Spyderco Mariner a lot underwater, along with a Cold Steel SRK, hanging upside-down on the dive harness. For general use, I'm sold on CRKT's Mirage series, esp. the "Gray Ghost" units. Several profiles available, all of excellent quality, super economical, and designed by a fellow sailplane pilot (way to go, Jim!). Cannot understand why it has been discontinued. Excellent buy at the gun shows, for those interested. (Edited by dpcdivr at 10:01 pm on Dec. 18, 2001) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
