My new black Delica 4 came in today. To me it is a wow knife. My old Delica 4 in modest green will remain my carry every day, the new guy will be for formal occasions. Just for the challenge I ordered a Spyderco Endura Emerson opener. The Endura is a bit bigger knife than I have liked in the past and I ordered a flat ground blade. I figure that if I can learn how the Emerson opener works it will be way cool. We'll see and learn.

I think those may run into problems with rules against public carry of double edged knives. Those rules may have been relaxed in Texas too. I just do not know.

I've been carrying my new Spyderco Endura with the Emerson Wave Opener on my morning walks for about a month now and have had time to practice with it. It comes out of my pocket and deploys the blade so fast I do not think an automatic knife could be faster.
We had a neighborhood safety meeting about ten days ago and a police officer attended. There were some older ladies there that were going to form a neighborhood watch patrol. These ladies were militant and ready to shoot bad guys down. I do not think any of them had ever been in a fight or understood what fighting is about.
I strolled past the officer, got a piece of pizza, and started talking about my predawn walks and run ins with stray dogs. Then I said because I feared a dog turning me into hamburger meat I had upgraded my knife and slowly pulled it out of my pocket. Before anyone realized what I had done, the blade clicked and locked open, and I asked the officer what he thought of it. He went... Wow, let me see that thing! I handed it over, turned to the ladies, and said that is how fast things can happen.
Of course the ladies start asking... that is illegal, isn't it? The officer shakes his head, says it is perfectly legal, hands the knife back to me, and shakes my hand.
The next day everyone was talking about how great the meeting was. It was a good meeting even without my little impromptu demo.

Agreed. The only thing I don't own out of that list is a spear . . .

Kershaw makes some good ones. I had one of their older Breakouts. Think those are a bit rare nowadays.
On the topic of putting zipties on your delica. You don't need to move your arm quickly. You can even catch it on the side of your pants making it not necessary to move your arm anywhere but sideways. And lets be honest, if you're relying on your knife for self defense you aren't doing something right. If you do put one on then be careful. Like, don't push the blade towards the pivot like I did. Accidentally stabbed my hand putting one on. Actually scared my hand.

I'm confused, thought this was now legal in Texas.
I have neglected to share a picture of my Benchmade EDC's. One clipped on the pocket, one in the pocket. Sometimes all I carry is the Impel in my pocket. Depends on my mood. I've lost about four Benchmade gents knife autos over the years, but as you can tell, I've held on to the Mini Reflex II for a while . . .
