Daily Carry Knife thread

[hurley842002]

There is already a Survival knife thread, but in the spirit of preparedness, and the fact that there was some discussion in another thread, about serrated vs. straight edge preference, I figured I would start a thread about what you prefer in your daily carry knife. Maybe post new pics and reviews of new products as the come available, as well as pics of your current carry knife if you'd like. So what will it be? Straight edge? Serrated? Drop point? Tanto?



These are my two favorite folders, with the top tanto blade being what I carry 99.9% of the time. I really like my Columbia River knives. Sorry for the crappy pics, dang camera phone.

I received some cheap Chinese made knives from CDNN for free as part of an order once. They were crap but I just kept them around for the heck of it. Today, I broke both of them with my bare hands, by just folding them while they were locked open (great way to cut yourself by the way). Now they are in the trash. I know that's not much to contribute. I just wanted to point out that some brands really aren't even worth getting for free.

I usually carry one of a few CRKT Viele Wasps's (8012 serrated and the 8001 non-serrated) or a Pointguard...

Been carrying the Emerson CQC7A for over 9yrs. Tried the Chisel grind Tanto point version of this knife, sold it. For me the Tanto point is a not a practical everyday tip, didn't slice very well.


Carry the Fallkniven F1 when camping/hiking.

A friend of mine who worked with SF guys in Iraq said they all carried Emersons (first choice) or Benchmade. I tend to defer to the judgement of the people with practical field experience.

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.

since coming to Colorado in July from Tennessee, I've had to put my protech away to conform to the mile high polite society ... but the Kershaw is still my daily driver.

I carry a Kershaw Shallot and have for years.

A silver straight edge for off duty. On duty it's a black half-serrated. Good knives at a great price.

I really like your protech!

Too bad they are not legal here. They are a great knife.
