Pocket knife

[The-Boss]

Serrated Kershaw Leek is what I have settled on.

I'm a big fan of Extrema Ratios. I've got a few of them, none of which I could carry because of TN laws (MF1 auto and Fulcrum C).
So since I moved here I have a BF1, cool little blade :

I have a top version.

A Benchmade auto when I'm wearin loose britches ... and an assisted Kershaw when I've got less room in my pocket.

I have been considering a benchmade next. I just can't decide which one I wanna give a try.

Fairly certain the TN "no auto open" laws were repealed.

They did

I think it was around 2012, I went to the local hardware store Highland Hardware (largest Case knife showcase/collection around) to buy a Benchmade Bedlam Auto and was informed that I had to be EMT, Police, or Military to buy an assisted open knife. I was like laughing1 laughing1 and sent a couple emails to the state reps.


Few years later I walked in and bought one.

He is from France. They just told him that to mess with him. Just Kidding.

The last two Benchmades I've had were complements of the U.S. Army but I've also bought a couple over the years and never regretted the cost. They make a great knife with high end materials and top notch workmanship.

My next sticker will be ether a Microtech or Benchmade OTF once I save up the $.

Re: Re: Pocket knife

I've never been one to sharpen a knife really or even have a "nice" blade .... What sharpening apparatus would you guys suggest for a dummy like me ?

I will agree but I really love how easy it is to sharpen and keep a edge on carbon steel but am old school on stuff like that. I would much rather shoot a 1911 than the New striker fired jobs.

Which would you choose to protect yourself with ? Poking holes in paper is one thing ....

I had a Benchmade that I recently misplaced. Great knife.

I Have 3 EDC a 1911 45, Sig 938 and Sig P320 compact either one will get the job done. If I could only have one and one only the Sig P320. The 1911 is my favorite by far

If your looking for a good USA made knife, I carry a buck with pocket clip, it black with stainless blade. You can get one at academy for $20, it's like their USA made economy line. Not the cheap China made bucks...they suck. Or just go with a old school CASE, there it great knife and hold a edge very well.l, and can get most of them for under $60. Not much on high dollar knife, lose to many on the farm. That's why I like the $20 USA made buck

This is the exact knife I have been looking at. Whats your thoughts on it?

My favorite USA made low dollar knives are the Leatherman Crater series.

I loved it was super comfortable and worked super smooth. My buddy has carried one for quite awhile and like it so I went with the same one.

Re: Pocket knife

I really like my spyderco delica. Haven't been able to carry a personal knife at my job the last 2 years so I haven't used it at all lately

 

[y2knole]

so happy with my kershaw ken onion scallion that ive replaced em a couple time when lost.

Smallish but works well. I prefer the part serrated blade.

I carry a gerber and have for a while. It gets Abused a lot like most knives I've had and I have been happy with it. One knife that is on my list to get is a benchmade mini infidel, a little pricy but sweet (around 450). Easy in and easy out ????

 

[blacksheep10]

Holy fawk, that's pistol price. I abuse knives badly, prybar, screwdriver, etc. I require a half serrated blade because mine might deburr the inside of a tube and be dull AF, but with serration you can generally gnaw through whatever you need to get cut in two. I use $20ish knives. Current one is 5 years old and the end has been broken off into a flathead 3/8" wide for 3.5 of them laughing1
