Daily Carry Knife thread

About assisted opening-

I used to carry a Kershaw Blur on my ambulance everyday, it was really handy to have the blade pop open in gloves, either turn out or nitrile. We used some heavy gloves and it helped to be sure, no finger nails. Also, my other hand was often busy before I would cut a seat belt, and I liked how it was a sure thing one handed open. Keep it sharp enough and I had no use for serrations. In fact I like straight blades more as they don't get hung up on shit and I could take care of it better. That knife had some serious texture as well, also handy wet or in gloves. Finally, it had an open body, i.e. easy to clean out, I was fully opposed to knives that were hard to clean the crud out of, as we weren't talking pocket lint.


As of now I tend to carry a Spiderco Delica. Same reasons as above, but it weighs less and its thinner, and I haven't had to cut a seat belt in some time so I figure I can get a little more comfortable with a lot less speed.

That's great input BigMat, thanks.

I EDC a Spyderco ploice or Military for the last 10 years. Since I moved hear to Colorado a year ago, I had to retire the Spyderco's and now I EDC a Kershaw Blur.
