What's Your Favorite Everyday Carry Knife??
 

What's your favourite everyday carry?
And if you were to whip it out right now,
would you be able to do this with it?

thats a sharp knife!! i always have my pocket knife mainly because i need it at work everyday. but when im in the truck i always got the .45 sittin beside me. i hope that i never have to use it but you never know??? theres a lot of bad people out there.:bat:

damn i need one of those, i just use a box cutter and a swiss army knife i found for work, they come in handy

My daily carry is a CRKT M16-14SF. Nice heavy knife, with the strongest blade I've ever had. Usually I break the tips off knives, but not with this bad boy. It'll shave my face if I need it to, but I keep everything I own sharp, knives, hooks, gaffs, chainsaws, axes...

I also have an MTech Karambit folder in my truck, just as a spare. If it needs something bigger than that I just pull out the trimming axe :w2:, or the chainsaw :rocking:.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.:tttt:

I carry ALL THE TIME a Kahr PM9. No safety, no hammer, just pull the trigger 7 times.:U:

Bob.........I use a Spiderco daily but I think I need to send it up to ya fer a sharpnin job

do you shave Linda's beaver with that :humm:(If so pics needs):choochoo:

eddie bauer switchblade. great all purpose. just 13.00 dollars at your local Target

Very nice. :) :U: :U: :U:
This is the one I've had my eye on for a while.
I'll get around to picking one up eventually.
Super thick blade. Like you say. Strong tips.

Thats sharp, i think i left mine in the truck....i was thinking of that yesterday when i was walking alone...:humm:

I have a Spyderco as well. Great knives. :)
About every knife I own is sharp enough to shave with.

I've got a KA-BAR I carry in my pocket and a Gerber when I go hunt'n or fish'n.

You carry? :5: Cool. :)

SOG Tomcat 3 or something with bullets in it.

I carry a Camillus Heat3.65 auto-opener on me. Don't have my carry permit......yet.

Cool knife Johnny.
I'm not familiar with that particular one.
Is that an actual auto, or an open assist?

well i was caring for the Couger... then i took off and left it in the truck it was a nice one too,, guess ill have to hit up a pawn shop and find another one.:rocking:

It's an assist. Gotta keep it legal and all. I checked them out before I bought and they seem to have a decent reputation. This one's been good so far and is sharper than hell.

Here:

CAM-920 - Camillus HEAT 3.65" Serrated Drop Point Silver Blade Assisted Opening Knife - Special Purchase - Manufactured by: Camillus

I would never carry just because of cougars.
Wouldn't want to scare them off. :w2:

What he said.

lol......well im a couger you know, i think im past the pussy age now....

Yes. I know. I peeked. :oops3:

I noticed.

Umm. Umm. Umm. I gotta go cut something down.

:ph: this is from Linda in advance..lol jk:5:

lol,

Ok Bob - would you mind divulging your knife sharpening secrets??. I get my knives pretty sharp but nothing like that. What exactly are you using?

Is that an expensive knife?

I doled out some good coin for a sharpener (about $80) and with some
practice I got good at using it. As for that knife? No it's not too
spendy at all. Ti-Lite by Cold Steel. A more expensive knife
has the ability to hold that sharp edge for longer,,,, but any
knife can be made that sharp. A cheap knife sharpens fast but
dulls quickly.A good knife takes longer to sharpen but because
of the quality and hardness of the steel it will hold the edge longer.

Sorry. Here's a pic of the sharpener I use.

Ah, yes...after looking closer - I have the same Cold Steel knife.

For me, that sharpener was money well spent. If I only
had one or two knives, and they really only needed to be
touched up once a year, I wouldn't spend that much.
You could get them done at a knife store for like four bucks.

its not a knife... ruger p345

In the pocket, Gerber EZ Out Jr. On the belt, Leatherman Wave multi-tool.

I usually carry a Benchmade Auto Opener with me at work, and a Buck Model 110 Folder on the weekends

bought it form L.L. Beans. i didn't want a leatherman cuz every one else has one this is just as good. works awsome!
made by Victorinox same company as the origanal swiss army knife
i also keep a small "push button knife" in my pocket more of conversation piece

I have a Master that is about 6 1/2 inches long blade and handle together It stays in my truck right next to me 24/7. I am very good with it, i would be able to grab it and flip it open before someone new what happened( lotsa practice lol) aint no one gunna be stealin my truck lol!! my carry knife is a kershaw, It is self assisted so i can open it quickly ( around horses that is often times neccesary to save someone or one of ur animals from a potentially deadly situation. I have used it numerous times to cut other peoples horses loose from their trailers because they were going to be seriously injured and the owners were standing there just watching! i have ran over whipped out the knife and sliced right through a weaved nylon lead rope and cut there horse loose before it could hurt itself badly( horse people will agree on how impressive that is lol those ropes are hard to cut, that kershaw is the only one so far that has done it that easily( my master has cut thru one in two strokes.)but yeah they are definately always with me. i love um. also being a bartender i keep the kershaw in my purse for when i walk to my truck at 2 am.:bat: I dare um lol

Those assisted opening Kershaws are sweet. You should check out the Lone Wolf assisted openings. I have the Diablo, kinda spendy but hella cool.

Lone Wolf Knives

This is another one of my fav's. Although with regular
use the edge does need constant touching up. You
get what you pay for and I knew that when I got it.

I was just about to buy that one but was given the Cold Steel Recon1 :rocking:, it's been my absolute favorite knife to date, I've done some horrible things to this one, only sharpened the blade twice, it's balanced really well, flips open so cotton picking fast and has an excellent grip for either holding direction. I like how long the blade holds an edge, too.

as far as legality, the blade is of legal length and it's not an automatic opener; but in CA the knife law can easily be interpreted to call a bic pen an easily accessible 'stabbing weapon', so yes and no, it's legal.

My CRKT M16SF has been in sand, saltwater, freshwater, mud, clay, you name it. Its never given me trouble. And somebody said a good knife will hold an edge longer. Thats true for most knives, but keep in mind, the longer it holds an edge, the harder it is to sharpen, and it takes longer to sharpen it as well. If your working in dirty conditions like sandy gritty stuff, you don't want a real hard steel like AUS13 or the likes, you'd be better off wild a milder steel, because no matter what its going to dull quickly, and a softer steel will sharpen much faster, and easier than a very hard steel.

I had a Recon, and I liked it, but when I grabbed this CRKT I was impressed. The nicest thing is that blade guard, and the full hilt. It makes opening it one handed a snap, with either hand I can flip it open as fast as my old Kershaw assisted knife. The Mtech I can just flip and it'll open, but it used to open in my pocket too, I have the scar to prove it! I loved my old Spyderco Tasman Salt... The H1 steel they use is fairly hard, and it will never rust since its hardened with nitrogen not carbon. That one I lost at the aiport when I forgot it was in my pocket... TSA wasn't happy, but I got a guy with little hands for the cavity search! :w2:

I lost my CRKT k.i.s.s. to the TSA because I forgot it was there. the kiss and peck are fantastic, small simple pocket/keychain knives. the peck I foolishly gave to a g/f who's now an ex...she's outa state now though, so I don't have to worry about her coming up behind me and giving my jugular a "how-d'ya do".

and yes, this blade takes forever to sharpen; so far I haven't rounded the tanto point off, either!

You guys w/ open assisted knives, don't take them to Canada. If Border Services catches you with one, they might confiscate it.

have noticed a fair amount of knives are coming with a 'pocket catch' open assist...is that technically considered an open assist yet or is it still just considered a thumb tab? brother got a NICE knife with a pocket catch, it's awesome
