Hey all,
Just curious what knife or knives you use /used specifically in your profession. If you care to , share the field you work in, knife details and why you prefer the specific cutlery you choose.
I'm in the automotive industry and a work knife has to be inexpensive yet durable, easy to sharpen and can not have a pocket clip as a scratch on a painted surface or drag mark on a leather seat is not an option and must be large enough for a full grip and blade long enough to cut rubber hoses and pry on things in a pinch plus be able to be a reasonable self defense tool if i don't have anything better handy. I generally work on hot rods and customs but also a decent number of high end sport and luxury cars as well as track only race cars, the last thing i need is to have a pocket clip doing damage to a car worth more than my house .
Here's mine- a svord peasant, chosen for multiple reasons.i need the durability and sharpening properties of carbon steel, no clip just a lanyard to drag it from my pocket, large enough for tasks and to stay put in my pocket and cheap so if it slides out and gets lost it's no big deal. This one has about 3 years use on it, was originally an orange handle, i fixed the poor edge it came with and blackened it in vinegar, has been great and would recomend one to anybody who doesn't need to be ultra tacticool. Ugly, aint it?
