Your pocket knife?

[griz]

This is probably the only time I will be able to post this without someone (rightly) telling me to use the search function to find the answer.;)

So, what knife (knives for ROTL:D) is on you right now? I don’t envision myself using a knife as a fighting tool so mine is one of the little Kershaw Ken Onion folders. I think it’s the Scallion, it’s the next size up from the smallest.

What’s yours?

[Penman]

Usually carry a Victorinox Swiss Army Officer's Model, and an Al Mar Eagle Ultralight. The handiest items on the Swiss Army are the tweezers and toothpick, the can opener and screw drivers get occasional use. The Al Mar comes in handy when I need to take apart boxes, and the 4" blade length was handy at a recent pot luck when we needed to take apart a spiral sliced ham.

[Dave Markowitz]

I put a plain edge Spyderco Delica plain edge in my pocket as a part of getting dressed. I add a Victorinox Cyber Tool 41 when I go to work (I am a field systems engineer for an ISP).

[Tamara]

Left pocket: Chris Reeves "P-stamp" Sebenza
Right Pocket: Emerson Commander & Leatherman Juice kf4

Ask me again tomorrow... :)

[bad_dad_brad]

Teeny Buck Light locking blade. One of the smallest locking blades there are. Very non-threatening looking but can be pretty effective.

When I want to go "big" I carry the smaller of the two Timberline Kelly Worden Tacticals. Great knife. Got pinched with that bad boy trying to get into an NFL game this year. Oh well.

[Wil Terry]

on belt behind right hip: Boker 4" button knife in horizontal sheath.

[Prodigalshooter]

I fall into the same camp as Tamara, depends on which day you ask me. I've managed to thin out the assortment a bit in the last year though. My most carried are my Sebenza and my SAK Executive; in my pocket right now is my Spyderco Lum (fixed blade) in a Buy Brown kydex sheath. I'd post a pic, but the attachment feature still isn't operative:(

[bandaidman]

[trapshooter]

Victorinox Swiss Army executive.
Kershaw 3 3/8" speedsafe.

If I'm headed for the poop, I'd take a Gerber 5" boot, too, but that's unlikely, these days. (And it would only backup the rifle and handguns).:eek:

[Don Gwinn]

Usually my old Benchmade Ascent 830. It may be the worst knife Benchmade makes, but I can use it for anything and if I lose it there's no reason to shed tears.

Was in the Chicago suburbs with my in-laws this week, so I had my Tim Britton Anaconda. In-laws don't allow firearms. I also carry a Folts Mantis quite a bit. Both are really overkill for someone like me, but I'm a knife snob and I like fixed blades.

Carried a big two-blade Case Trapper Christmas morning to deal with presents. :D

[techmike]

Just home from work I have on me a Leatherman Wave and a Microtech LCC D/A.

It's hard to balance a Knife habit with a Gun habit. I gotta make more $$$$$$

[VHinch]

Right now I'm carrying a CRKT K.I.S.S., but I also change knives about like I change socks.

[Sylvilagus Aquaticus]

My daily carry is a Benchmade 9050s. Mine has seen some use over the last several years. It's a tool, not a sock-drawer refugee.
Mine also has *NO* markings on it.
VHinch, I'm from Lambda Iota, 1978. I know what this is.

Regards,
Rabbit.

REKAT Sifu, 5.45" blade, serial number one of the first 70 handground. I was the one that convinced REKAT to make this critter. Sadly out of production with the demise of REKAT (sigh). Anyways. One baaaad motorscooter. More on this piece here:

http://www.ninehundred.com/~equalccw/knifelaw.html#K8

Technically not a "pocketknife" because the first six had no pocket clips. I use an IWB sheath of my own design and construction:

Spyderco Delica stainless serrated edge. Just got it for Christmas.

Benchmade Griptilian.

Cute little thing. My mom over reacted to it, awhile back, when I pulled it out of my pocket to cut a string for one of the kids.

"You've got a knife in your pocket???"

"Um, yeah, mom, it's a pocket knife." :rolleyes:

"It's a really big!!! pocket knife!!! Is that legal?"

"Um, yeah, mom, it is. Pocket knives are legal."

"But that BIG??? Are you sure???"

"Um, yeah, mom, I'm sure."

"I'm worried about you, Kathy. First you start taking all those gun classes, and now you're carrying a knife!!. Are you sure you're not going a little overboard?"

Poor mom. I think she wishes I were more of a girl.

Awwww, that ain't a knife. This is a knife. -- Crocodile Dundee

[444]

Spyderco Endura. Of course I own a number of pocket knives but this is one of my faviorites. I would be lost without it. It boggles my mind that some people don't carry a pocket knife.

[Jorah]

I've got a plain-edge Endura on me when I'm "dressed up," and add an old Leatherman and an old Gerber folder when I'm in jeans.

I have one of those nifty Leatherman Micras on my keychain; mostly have used the scissors on it.

I love fixed-blades, but they aren't really very handy.

-J.

[NINEX19]

I am not sure if this really counts, but I usually carry just a Leatherman Wave on my belt (right in front of my extra carry mag). That has a knife in it. I use to carry a SAK or a couple of cheaper stainless steel lockbacks by United.

[redbone]

left front pocket: Victorinox Cadet - the one with aluminum handles instead of red plastic, and that is quite a bit thinner than the usual full-sized red handled models (except the one with very small blades). Been carrying it for the last 14 years, and have two more in the drawer if I need a replacement someday.

Spyderco Ladybug. Hey, c'mon, don't laugh. I'm not Crocodile Dundee here! Besides, the S & W Airweight in my pocket cuts from farther away if self-defense becomes an issue! My pocketknife mostly does duty as a string-cutter and apple-peeler.

[gbelleh]

Usually I carry a CRKT K.I.S.S., but at work I carry a small Gerber folder.

[Navy joe]

Right now, Buck Strider folder left pocket, Victorinox SAK lockblade model right 5th pocket. I promise I'd do better but the G34 and spare mags are taking up a lot of real estate.

[El Tejon]

Spyderco Endura II stainless, Spydercard in wallet.

Right now...spyderco chinook in pocket. If I put my coat on to go out, there's a SOG X-42 folder in one pocket and Benchmade AFCK? in the other.

Is that white material Kydex/concealex? Where did you get it? I can think of several applications I'd like to have some white kydex for and I think my customers might appreciate it too. Thanks.


On me right now is my EDC, Emerson Commander in my right front pocket, as well as a Spyderco Delica in my left rear pocket, a CRKT Ryan Plan B in my right boot top, and a Pack River Knives (Steve Mullin) 6" blade fighter riding (exposed) on my right hip. Just got back from town, so will probably be shedding some this stuff soon... just not the Commander, it only comes off when I sleep.

[agony]

Spyderco Delica dual edge in weak pocket.
Or an old Gerber EZ-Out. Hey, it works!

[PATH]

Victorinox SAK.

[sm]

SAK , small one
Just added a Kershaw Ken Onion 1660 Leek

[*8*]

Strider 4 in. blade in BG42.

[voilsb]

crkt m16-13 zytel. I don't like the zytel as much as the non, but they goofed when I sent in my non-zytel model for warranty work (the lock stopped working ... I found this out when it slipped shut and I cut my thumb). I love the knife still, though, so I never sent it back saying "you screwed up." I'll just buy another some day, since I love the knives.

[Felonious Monk]

Little bitty Victorinox Swiss Army usually gets pulled out first for routine duty.

Most days, I have a Spyderco Rescue with a modified tip in my other pocket.

IF, as is the case right now, I'm in Hotlanta or some other locale with a higher potential for a social situation, I have my CRKT Kasper-Crawford. It's a HOSS, and very reassuring if for some reason I can't also carry a gun.

[Jim March]

Gray_Fallen: that white kydex is .060" grade - I got a 4'x8' sheet of it from a local building supply place.

Interstate Plastics, Inc.
2065 Williams Street
San Leandro CA 94577
Phone: 510 483-4341
Fax: 510 483-4350

It's Kydex "T" grade,

prices for a 4x8 sheet as of a few months ago:

$88.96 for .093
$63.04 for .060

----------------------------------

The two belt connectors on swivels are .090 grade. I found that the .060 would break eventually. By doing .060 for the main body I get something thin, and by connecting the belt connectors on swivels the whole thing "flexes" a bit in a way kydex usually doesn't. This is a VERY slick setup.

[45-auto]

Nicely balanced Gerber Bolt Action 4" drop point on the belt. . .itsy bitsy Swiss Army on the keychain. . .sometimes a really nasty double edged boot knife in the right Tony Lama. . .a 1911 or an SP 101 out of sight somewhere or another. . .

[Seeker]

Always have a Gerber LST w/ 2.5" blade on my person.

[Drjones]

I like to carry my MT UT, but lately with how bad the weather has been, I'll strap on my Strider BT with an Inova X5 in the pouch. :cool:

[Moondancer]

Right now, it's a Kershaw Black Chive, probably the neatest "little" knife I own.

But like Tamara, it depends on the day. I have about a dozen decent folding pocket knives I rotate through on a regular basis. Every one of them is a lock blade as I refuse to carry and use a folder that won't lock. Most of them are Spydercos, with a Cold Steel, the Kershaw, and a couple CRKTs thrown in for good measure.

For times when I can't carry the Kimber 'cause I'm going into a restaurant that serves liquor (Michigan still hasn't seen fit to emulate their southern neighbor Indiana in this regard :D ) I have a few "bigger" knifes to work with. For folders, again it's Spyderco (Delica, Endura) with a couple of smallish fixed blades, both S&W and Buck.

[JPM70535]

I'm outclassed I guess, all I carry is a Paragon automatic with about a 2-3 inch blade. Really don't feel the need for a fighting knife as long as I have CCW and a 45.

[Sodbuster]

I always carry a Buck Lightning for life's daily, mundane chores. For social ocassions, Bob Dozier's Arkansas Toothpick tags along. Because I can, a Microtech LCC/DA finds its way into my pocket now and then (don't like to use the belt pouch). In the pickup is one of Uncle Bill's 20" Sirupatis.

[Kentucky Rifle]

It's one of those neat little knives that I just had to "collect". :)
The Metro is oval shaped and has a bottle cap lifter in the center of the oval. It also features a tiny, but sturdy little blade that just can't be over 3/4 of an inch long.

[Marko Kloos]

My "always" knife is a Chris Reeve Sebenza.

[Marcus]

Spydie Calypso Jr. Lightweight clipped in the RF pocket ALWAYS (okay sometimes it`s IWB for dressy occasions). Leatherman Micra on my keychain and a custom creditcard knife in my wallet. Also a Gerber multitool sometimes when I`m working or outdoors for awhile. When I can`t have a carry gun or if I just feel like it I add a CS Lg. Vaquero. From time to time I`ll add another knife or two to the mix just for kicks. :) Marcus

[commygun]

Spyderco Endura. I must use this thing thirty times a day in my
work and at home. It's amazing how fast and reflexive opening
it becomes with repetition. I also cannot understand how anyone
gets by without a pocketknife at hand.

[CAP]

Been carrying one of several Spyderco Delica combos in the left front for several years now. Just added a Benchmade axis folder in the right front my wife gave me for xmas and the Leatherman Wave my in-laws gave a few years ago much of the time on the belt.

Oh yea, and a gun. :D

[gorf]

My daily pocket knife is a Kershaw Scallion. It's small, but works. I gave one to my wife for Christmas except her blade was treated with a black coating.

I was carrying a Kershaw Avalanche, but wanted to cut down on the size for normal carry.

[Kcustom45]

I always have my 4" Cold Steel voyager with me. Sometime I also carry a Gerber multi-tool.

[nualle]

CRKT Kasper. Was thin enough to carry in my pocket when I worked in corporateland. Just plain comfy.

[vertigo7]

Got a generic 2" folder on my keychain for general tasks. A Spyderco Endura II rides in my weak-side front pocket for social encounters.

[Okiecruffler]

99% of the time my CRKT M16 is in pocket, usually the right hip pocket. Sometimes I take my CRKT Mirage. Soon I'll replace the M16 with the new M18. And if I ever win the lottery I'll replace it with a real Kit Carson.

Another vote for SAK Tinker (on a small 'biner with a spy capsule, clipped onto belt loop stuffed into watch pocket in my jeans, never loose it or see it)
CRKT Tighe Tac for one handed stuff.

Normal day....

small Uncle Henry lock back, dull, for cleaning finger nails, turning screws, general abuse. And playing with when I'm bored, bad nervous habit. Right front pocket.

Back right pocket. S&W SWAT 4.5"

The only other changes to this are if I perceive the need to actually cut something, other than flesh, I carry a Case 2 blade folder. If I'm going to dress a little nicer, I swap the 4.5" S&W for a 3.75" one.

Left pocket: Sebenza
Right pocket: Microtech LCC/DA and Leatherman Juice kf4.

[Unisaw]

CRKT Mirage or KISS, both with partially serated blade

[Kevlarman]

Benchmade 840SBT. That is, partially serrated with the Black-T coating. Back when I bought it, it was known as the "Eclipse." The name has since been changed to "Ascent."

I want to get one of the AFCK in D2 steel, with the Axis lock. Love the round hole!

[Bog]

CRKT Navajo.

You might find me without it in the shower.

[griz]

Wow, I thought there would be less people who in addition to the "real" knife, carried a beater too.

I used to do that to give to coworkers when they asked to borrow my knife. They seemed to turn to me since they knew I always had one. It irked me to put a fine edge on a knife and see then use it to cut wire or scrape paint and rust off of a steel beam.:eek:

[Daniel Flory]

I normally carry a CRKT Carson M16-14, Leatherman Wave, CRKT Polkowski Kasper IWB, or a Watson drop point. I also have a Gerber Mark II and Leatherman PST in my "bling-bling" machine.

[Graystar]

I carry a Benchmade Axis 710BTS. Best knife I've ever used.

As my work knife I always carry my Case Yellow boy pocket knife. In fact a few calves got to feel the sharp edge Monday. I also carry a Benchmade 3550 for other than work.

I wondered where it went), but I usually wear it on left 8 oclock waistband opposite the G-26 at 4:00 (but that's not a knife, since my Daddy always told me never bring a knife to a ... you know)

So, five or six pieces of sharpened steel placed at various points on the body and I'm ready to rust... I mean rock, or open the ubiquitous envelope at work.

Other knives get added (custom damascus "Black Prince" from Kim Breed, tiger coral custom William Henry "Lancet", Microtech original SOCOM DA, Vallotton thumbhole proto, Chameleon custom, or customized SERE 2K, Russel Sting, etc.) but the Sebenza stays on me almost all the time.

Tamara ("I never thought I'd pay this much for a knife") - Resistance if futile. You will be assimilated.

The collecting advantage to knives is that you can meet the person, or persons, that transformed your knife from a flat chunk of steel and a lump of wood to functioning work of art that was made to fit your imagination as well as your hand.

Varies. Anything from a Case to a Puma to a AG Russell Sting to a Benchmade 970 to one of several Microtechs, Socom Elite L-UDT Socom MA, Amphibian auto and so forth. Did I mention I like MTs?

[Bob]

Wow, I must be one of the few traditionalists. My EDC is a Buck 110, Buck 301 Stockman, and a Leatherman Super Tool. I've carried Spyderco's in the past and liked them, just like what I carry now more.
Bob

[cratz2]

I carry two. I usually have one of two different CRKTs in my pocket at the ready and I have the little mini KISS PECK as a money clip... Works best for folks like me that don't have much money to clip. :D

[norielX]

5" Ruger Vaquero and a CRKT Crawford/Kasper folder.
Sometimes I go with the Vaquero and a S&W HRT boot knife (shaped like Perrin's Jaws knives).

The vaquero flows really well and the C/K is used for utility purposes like the tactical opening of boxes and letters to the tactical sharpening of chalk pencils so I can keep score for darts!

I'm looking for a good 5 1/2" fixed blade, though. The folder's a little slow when you have to take it out of your pocket and flick it open. There's no telling what may happen in a high stress self-defense situation.

I've got my eye on a Szabo UUK or Ultimate Jaws.

[Blackjack_21]

Mmkay, lemme see..::checking the pockets::..Well, nothing right now. :D
Normally, my EDC is a SAK knock-off with wood panels that say "Canada" and have a maple leaf (Don't laugh, it was a gift from the in-laws), a clipless Colt Detective Special (made by United, I believe), and a Benchmade model 42 Bali-Song. No kidding, that's my EDC. Knife laws being what they are, I think I'm over the legal limit, but it stays out of sight. I've got a BM47 on the way, should be here monday. That's the one with the spring latch and a modified (looks like an Elishewitz tanto to me) tanto blade. That might replace the 42, or it might join it. :D

My field jackets each have their own folder knives, Case, Buck,
Cammilus...whatever:D

[Hand_Rifle_Guy]

Uh... I don't have any of the fancy names.

But I do have an always knife. And I work wood for a living, so it's a good'un, despite it's lack of prestige.

Has no name that I can find in the catalog, other than "utility knife".

Made by Klein Tools of Japan, a supplier of electrician's tools.

2-ish inch drop-point lock-blade folder. Stainless body with a rosewood accent strip riunning down the middle. Blade marked "Klein tools inc. Japan" on one side, "44033" on the other. Is that 440-33 an alloy designation?

Got it at an electrical supply place after I lost my first one, which I'd found on the roof of a building with the tip of the blade broken off. Cost was $22.95

Nice ergonomics. VERY solid construction. Holds an edge better than any knife in my experience.

This blade has shaved delicate little curls off of the back edge of a S&W factory knife, and stayed sharp. It'll whittle aluminum and mild steel with relative ease. I have no idea what it's made of, but it's nothing short of amazing. It is incredibly tough.

I have a spare. They're inexpensive! It's done everything I've ever needed a knife to do, including withstand shocking abuse.

I found a belt-size model at a gunshow once. Blade's about 3 1/2 inches, same configuration and markings, just bigger. Got it for $30. It's neatly the size of my Buck 110. Never seen another, anywhere. I'm afraid to lose it, so it stays home. It's a bit big for a pocket, mostly.

I dunno. It's a $23 knife, but It'll stand with the best. Because I have it, I've felt absolutely NO NEED to suplement my blade equipment with any of the gunowners standards. Even the Buck 110 (A gift from my father.) sits in a drawer, gathering dust.

I picked up a Kershaw Chive today. It's like a knife, but smaller :D

Most days, it's a Benchmade 705.

I sure would like one of those new Buck/Mayo collaborations.

I'm currently using a Gerber ARB 3.00 BBS folder...

Always looking for something new.. My next knife will probably be a Boker. :)

Al Mar SERE 2k. Best dang knife I've ever owned.

Kissing Cranes Stiletto. It started out as a 3" blade. Just measured it and find that it's down to 2.75" now. Stag handles, brass bolsters. Perty little thang :) It's the only knife I have that finds it's way home when lost. Probably been carrying it for about 10 years now.

Hand_Rifle_Guy,

The Klein's are one of the best sleepers in knives. There is no better made knife available and even with all the knives I've got a little cherry Klein is in my collection. They are a small pocket knife that doesn't rust easily, takes a good edge and holds it, and has a classic style that never goes out of style. When all the tactical poser knives are out of fashion your little Klein will still be being manufactured and still be in use by people that work with their knives.

AHA! :cool:

Someone ELSE who knows.

I wonder why they don't cost more. Or perhaps more critically, why don't the competition (Not including hand-built customs. Good work costs.) cost LESS?

Industrialization, I suppose. Mass production and a bigger business offsets expenses.

Well, now the secret's out. Everybody ought to buy one or two of these just to have around as spares. They're not as pretty as some of the more artistic pieces, but they are by no means ugly. And like a Glock, functionality outweighs form. "Hell for stout" carries weight in practical circles like gun-owners and working folks. Particularly at the price these sleepers sell for.

Too bad Klein doesn't make a fixed-blade fighter, but how often do you get into life-threatining fights with wiring? ;)

Another vote for Al Mar, but I have an Eagle Ultralight 4" folder with "talon" style blade (spear point with false back edge).

And the favorite Kershaw I have is an old one! It is a large folding lockback with a black rubber finger groove grip/handle. Have no idea what it is called? It's field dressed many a deer though! It's the best handled knife I have ever held with slippery, cold and bloody hands! :D

Then there is the center console knife, the tackle box knife, the tool box knife, the recliner chair table knife, the boat glove box knife, the Fillet knife.........:D :D :D

I think it is interesting that must gun people are knife people also. There are some great knives in this post, you guys have some really neat stuff.

Lately I have been carrying, due to stupid Arkansas laws, an waved Emerson CQC7 with a satin finish and a plain edge, and/or and Emerson mini-commander with a satin finish and a partially serated edge.

I almost always carry my Emerson LaGriffe.
