What kind of knife do you carry, if any?

[LDW]

Usually a Kershaw Blur.

 

[smoothshooter]

SAK and Benchmade Mini-Griptilian. Every day.

Could never understand the mentality of people who don't carry one.
It is sadly funny watching some knifeless millenial or anyone trying to open a bag of snack food out of a vending machine by tearing at it with their teeth like an animal, or opening an Amazon shipment box with their fingers.

 

[Liftrat]

SuperTinker SAK and a Spyderco Delica here. I probably use the scissors, tweezers, and bottle opener the most on the SAK, and the Delica for almost everything else.

Queen 11

Carried one since 1965. Everything you need and nothing you don't.

[OLDSTER]

Here's a great auto ( the knife ); the Piranha Bodyguard. I carry it in rotation with several other autos.

 

[Thiokol]

I'm partial to Spyderco's and carry either a Delica 4 or a PM2.

 

[keith44spl]

Have not been with out a pocket knife for more than six decades.

I'm liking this'n for a few years now.

Case Single Blade Trapper Lockback Assisted Opening.

I also carry this one sometimes,

[JDinAZ]

Far as what knife. It's a Buck 110 Auto conversion. I used to do them a decade ago.

 

[BourbonCowboy]

Spyderco Native 5. Light, thin, and easy to open. Fits perfectly in my back pocket.

 

[pacecars]

Hollinger Compadre titanium frame lock with S35vn blade

 

[OLDSTER]

Here's a pretty cool "flipper" shown with a 1946 M&P. It's a Bushmaster Tactical Rescue. Great knife but a little large for EDC. It's my glove compartment knife.

I've noticed that many of the knives that people say they carry don't appear to be used. I wonder what kind of knife they use. Larry

 

[AzShooter]

Just started carrying this Cold Steel Spartan. Came from the factory nice and sharp. Getting easier to open with use and it's nice and easy to close.

It's a little heavier than my other knives and I like the heft.

 

[Stevens]

I have loads of pocket knives and leathermans, usually I'll pocket carry a Buck 284 or 285, or sometimes a Leatherman or Buck 112 lite folder in a sheath on my belt.

EDC Knife, Buck model 290.

I carry a Buck model 290 knife. It is a flipper type with a lock to prevent it from opening in your pocker. The blade stays sharp, and the blade is only a little larger than 2 inches. Perfect for me.

 

[rich5674]

My Blue Collar Hero Buck 286

Buck USA Lightweight

I carry a few Buck 110s, 112s. But if it's pocket carry it's these Buck 286s.
Similar blade to the 110, half the weight, 1/3 the price

I can't speak for others but I do use my #11 daily. It is the one on the left in the picture and is my first, bought when I was in the Navy. I've been collecting for a while which is why the picture I show is full of new looking ones. Same useful knives just waiting for the next generations to appreciate them.

 

[ChillyDog]

Buck 501 Squire. In a sheath.

 

[heeter3]

With all the raves about the Kershaw leek I bought one.I like it, I retired my gerber skeleton and now take a leek before I leave the house.

 

[Walstib]

Wow, GREAT thread!!!

I've carried a SOG Pentagon Elite 1 clip knife since about 2003, along with Case Sodbuster Jr. down in pocket. Before the SOG, I carried a Case Shark Tooth for many years. SOG came from my nephew, a Chief Gunner's Mate who was deployed with SEAL team in a MIUW unit. Most of them carried the PE so he bought me one. It gets and stays REAL sharp, thanks to EdgePro sharpener.

I use these knives constantly around my shop and opening whatever needs opening...

 

[Mongo1958]

Kershaw Ken Onion Blur.

 

[DuckBeav]

I rotate between these two Spyderco PM2's.

 

[Jeromejr]

Microtech troodon

 

[Blackshirt]

I have a drawer full of folders, flippers, butterflies, fixed blades, and tomahawks, but there are two folders that I use all the time: an Emerson CQC-8 and a Cold Steel Air Lite. The Emerson is for going places and the Cold Steel is for around the farm. The Emerson is a tank and the Cold Steel is light, thin, and easy to carry. Both are very well made, well designed, and feature great steel.

 

[Tubbsy]

I carry a benchmade mediator every day... only time it's not in my pocket I'm hunting and a skinning knife is strapped to my belt.

 

[DRYHEAT]

With my AZ Oct-May EDC set I carry a Spyderco Citadel Auto

 

[Welderzero]

SOG Flash.

 

[LCC]

These my EDC's, the wood handle Civivi on it's way.

 

[rbmac52]

These two are in my EDC rotation...

Which one depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing.
