Daily Carry Knife thread

[coop68]

i would agree by repetition, i use my knife at work at least once a day normally more when there is freight i always keep it in the same place every time and when im doing somthing where its not easy to flick my wrist it helps my situation.

i like both knifes non and assisted eventually you wear it out..

If I was reduced to fighting with a folder, then I have bigger problems.

I carry a folder for utility purposes. One of my requisites for a folder is one hand opening/closing. Tha't why I like the Benchmade Axis Locks so much. Pull back the lock and flip open/closed. Ergonomics and fact that it holds an edge very well also helps.

If you know even a little bit about the human body (not implying you don't), a good sharp knife can do much more damage than than most handgun calibers at close distance, plus your surroundings may not always be conducive to using a firearm (i.e. crowded area, person in the way of your backstop, etc.). Besides, a backup plan is always nice to have.

Rgr that, there are about 5 places on your body (depending on body mass/size/etc) where one clean stab would end the fight whereas a clean shot at extrmemely close range can miss vitals by mere milimeters and make a clean hole where the wound is cauterized or non-life threatening and the fight could continue without the person realizing they've even been shot due to an adrenaline dump.

I really like my Columbia River knives.

I've had CRKT in my pocket for 10 years now, ever since I got my original small M16 Tanto, and upgraded to the large M16 Tanto

I either carry the Izula in my pocket or the HEST on my belt if working. Both have blades under 3 1/2" so they can be carried concealed under CO law.

SO HOWZ COME THERE ARE NO USE MARKS ON THEM ?

[StagLefty]

Both still fairly new but I'm also a fanatic about cleaning and oiling plus the powder coating on this brand is unreal and very durable

I like that HEST, and would consider that as an EDC. Does that spike on the handle ever poke you?

Can we get a couple links to some dealers that carry some of these knives? I know the Army Surplus near me has a bunch of knives, and the guy behind the counter has always seemed pretty knowledgeable/helpful to me, but some of their stuff is way over priced. For instance, they have the Lansky sharpening kit for sale at $49.99, and the link on here it was only $37.99.

Sadly, I don't know of anyplace local that has any kind of a selection of knives. These should get you started though.
