EDC knife

[Viper28001]

Maybe it's the retired Marine in me but I'm just sayin.. KA-BAR.
Got a couple of 'em. I can cut my steak with them, dress a deer, and pry up a manhole cover with it; hopefully not all in the same few minutes or S has really HTF!

Having said that, Kershaw actually DOES make some really decent blades. My wife is a veterinarian for large animals... you can only imagine what her pocket knife gets put through in a day's time. She's been carrying the same one for ten years and loves it. Carries the danged thing everywhere. And yeah, you can get 'em for $20. Are they a Benchmade? No... only a Benchmade is a Benchmade, but there are some good ones out there that will suit you until one day you can afford a Benchmade or similar. I carry two SOG Aegis knives and love them both.. they're between $60-$100 depending on what you get.

You gotta admit, it's funny.

I started getting my cargo pants with the group of smaller pockets on one side. One feature on the larger pocket (other side,) is a narrow pocket over the full size pocket. The narrow one is great for the folder Vincent sent me. Between tent camping, and hotels full of strangers, I liked having that one handy. No fussing around with regular pocket full of keys & stuff to find the SAK. No nonsense, just it's there, and it comes out and opens up super easy.

Look at the Buck Vantage Pro in s30v steel at around $60 through Ebay it's a good buy . http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buck-Knives-...item1c596fdcac

I got my Buck Vantage Pro in S30V steel an I love it lol out of the box and just a little stropping it has the sharpest edge I've got . Well worth the price. The G10 grips are great.

well dang Air,now you gotta go back and get it,duh

[W.Lynn]

I was in the new Bass Pro today (north side of Round Rock,) and found myself admiring some of the Kershaw knives that were in stock. I think I need to go back.

That is a pretty nice store, we ended up leaving with 2 folding chairs, ammo cans and some other stuff. They have a fairly decent supply of ammo, and plenty of weapons in stock as well.

the one in Oklahoma city was always swamped with people when we stopped in , an stocked good which was amazing as well .

My cabela's Benchmade Minigrip in D2 steel

How do you like the D2 steel , have you tried sharpen it yet

[redman2006]

Love the Kershaw lines including zt and such, but my all time favorite is my Benchmade Rift. This has been a fabulous knife in every way. It took me a while to warm up to the axis lock, but I like it much better than frame or liner locks now.

For a reasonably priced daily use knife, that Skyline was awfully nice, but a little light for how I need to use a knife. Even so, I carried it for years before I ended up bending it a tad trying to cut in an awkward angle.

Haven't tried yet, I've read that it can be hard to sharpen but holds an edge a long time once sharp
