Pocket Knives what do ya' Got
« on: June 16, 2009, 09:49:19 AM »
All this talk about knives has got me thinking...

What do you carry or what is favorite knife that you use? Key word here is USE. I am sure some of you have some real beauties but I want to know about your re-sharpened a hundred time, (possibly) dinged up, its there when you need it knife. Weather folder or not I would like to hear about it. This will give me ideas on what is good out there, and honestly more about you the person.

Those ol' knives we all rely on everyday can say alot about the person, weather they are neat freaks, grease monkeys, old timers, "Tactical Teds'", or gotta have the besters.

As with guns sometimes I will see an old Ka-Bar on the internet and think "man if that knife could talk."

Rightnow I carry a Kershaw Whirlwind partially serrated. I have had this knife for about a year and a half, maybe longer. It has been through hell and back and keeps on tickin'. If I took the time to set up an account with a pic hub I would put it up. It aint pretty, but it can still shave the hair on my arm.

I learned how to sharpen knives with this knife, I am still not great at it, so you can imagine what the blade has gone through and to preform as it has I am true Kershaw fan. I want to buy their new model the Blur when I get the chance. I use this knife multiple times everyday.

knives are one of the most primitive, original tools of mankind. To make a law banning them is like saying we can have forks cause you can stab something with them. Or that Rocks are dangerous we have to clear the planet of them. Its just stupid.
Did we win???

I have an old Ka Bar folder that I carry and abuse regularly.  I've had it for about 25 or 30 years.  Nothing big, it has a 2 3/4 inch blade and the tip isn't real sharp any more cause it is often a screwdriver, but the blade is sharp and it just fits me after all the years.

Screwdriver, letter opener, apple pealer, pry bar, splinter remover, nail cleaner, and much more, ......... all in one.  ;)

A 1 1/2" Gerber stainless with perforated synthetic sides to drain water. Tactical enough for day to day and fishing. For camping, I prefer a 3 1/2" Gerber Gator, again tactical enough to spread peanut butter or whittle a roasting stick, and with a nice no slip handle. For hunting, a buck Zipper, the sharpest and most effecient skinning knife out there for any money. Use one once and you wouldn't trade it for a Randall bowie, and I've used both. Tactical, I'm still thinking about whether I need one.

I've been very happy with my CRKT folder. I've run over it twice with a forklift, and after a little bending, it folded up and went back into my pocket!

God grant that I may not be found wanting,
that I will not fail this sacred trust.

Kershaw Ken Onion Scallion, stainless on stainless with spring opening.

Spring don't fling anymore but it still opens in a flash...about 5 years now.  Also a Swiss Army Tinker about 25 years or so and a Gerber multi-tool going on twenty, one for the toolbox and one for the tackle box.

I still have a dull old "Barlow" from about 1965 in my Kennedy box too.... ;D

Daily carry is a CRKT - M16 titanium.  Best folder I've owned.
