Re: What's your EDC knife?
I have carried a Gerber Gator everyday since 2006. Does everything I have ever needed a blade for.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
(Gerber Gator)I've had three of those got one when they first came out and it lasted from years as a skinning knife , the last two i bought the blades seem realy soft , i have to sharpen them alot more often than the old one

Re: What's your EDC knife?

Re: What's your EDC knife?
My Gator is the old one. Haven't sharpened it in a year and its still like a razor. I agree the new design sucks. This one with the rubber grip is great though.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
I go through knives like my wife does shoes!! After the years of getting cool Benchmades, Kershaws, fixed and folding. I keep coming back to my 15+ yr old(damn, that hurt to type!) Swiss Army knife, the "mechanic."
Still has a few teeth marks from when my late Dalmatian bit it as a puppy. God he was a naughty pup!!!
So yeah, nothing too fancy here, but I always have a screwdriver and a bottle cap opener! hehehe!

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Just getting into knives and all I have so far is a Recon 1 tanto but I'm gonna order a SOG Flash II and Trident tanto here in the next few days.
Hard for me at this point to justify $150+ for a knife. That money can be very well spent on my guns

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Benchmade mini griptillian for me. I use the drop point as the tanto is traditionally a fighting blade and I find the drop point way more versatile for the tasks required.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
I've always been a "folder guy" and still carry them most of the time, but I recently picked up a Benchmade "Bone Collector"
And haven't found myself without it since. Lightweight, compact, and didn't cost a fortune.
I ended up making a kydex neck sheath for it also, for when the belt sheath isn't convenient or practical:
Great little fixed blade and the D2 blade holds a great edge!

Re: What's your EDC knife?
I loved my SOG Flash II tanto but have since switched to a Benchmade 5300SBK
My latest find is the 888 Professional SurvivIt Tool. I love this thing and they are so reasonably priced I will pick up a few more.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
A very old Benchmade afck, small version. It has caped out my Dall Sheep in Alaska, a moose, bear...and God only knows how many deer. Might not be be high be high speed, but it has been there and done that...And it will be there when I wake up in the morning.
And on my off days there is this even on older Spyderco provenator..older than my children...but it just works.
When I turn 50 in a few weeks I want another CQC7..My sons borrowed the ones I had..

Re: What's your EDC knife?
I carry a Benchmade 9101 SBK
Its a Benchmade Auto Stryker with the partial serrated blade. I carry it at work everyday and everyday that I am off. Its going on 5 years old and still going strong. I got it in 2005 on my last tour to Iraq and carried it ever since.
(It is an Auto, and I am a LEO)

Re: What's your EDC knife?
My EDC is a CRKT M-18; sadly they don't make it anymore. But, a hell of a good knife.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Mine says "Western U.S.A. H40 I" on the side of it. Got it for free when my Thia went back to Cali. I don't carry a gun surpisingly, and had a couple of fancy knives, but got rid of them. They never have what I want so I don't buy them.
As soon as I get some spring steel though I'll be making one. Then I'll have my friend put a wood sheath and handle on it.
Not to worried about getting into a sticky situation though. Grew up old school. Hand n feet for defence. Don't know why but people just don't give me trouble in person.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
I've carried one of these for about 8 or 9 years now.
http://www.crkt.com/M1604Z
Damn good knife. Some say a little big for EDC but it suits me just fine. Actually got me out of pretty hairy situation once.
Just picked up one of these though and I'm lovin it.
http://www.crkt.com/M21-Special-Forces-Black-G10-Handle-AutoLAWKS-Veff-Combo-Edge
Feels really good in my hand and opens up switchblade quick.

+1 for Emerson. I have used and abused one for years and it has held up fine.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Benchmade Onslaught 154CM Steel. Sharpens easily and holds an edge well. Unfortunately, can't carry it while in uniform, but I carry it everywhere else. I carry a Leatherman/Gerber in uniform.
May need a smaller knife in the future... thinking about a ZT350 which will be legal for carry while in uniform and it has S30V steel which is phenomenal.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Laugh if you want but this little guy is always in my pocket. Sharp as hell and easy to carry. I had to put the lanyard on it to make it easier to find it in my pocket. I have a couple of Benchmades but none of them are carried daily without fail like this one.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Benchmade 520 and a H.A.K.
Benchmade's are addictive, I must have close to 20, but the 520 is my daily companion.

When I am deployed for a mission I will carry a ColdSteele and
or Benchmade for every day carry. I like the Tanto style blades.

Benchmade 705 McHenry Williams for a folder.
Ray Laconico small fixed blade. I don't carry it on my belt at work, but it is always close at hand in the day pack.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
For a long time it was a Chris Reeve Small Sebenza. After 9/11 I switched to the Stars and Stripes Small Sebenza
It took me several years but I finally found and now carry a Scott Cook Lochsa
S30V Blade
Titanium scales.
It just fits my hand well and I really like the way it handles.
I have an S90V Lochsa on order (it may be several years before I see that one) as well.

Re: What's your EDC knife?
Damn this thread! It's making me buy more knives that I don't need! I bought a Surefire Edge for a buddy that's deployed but I think I'm going to keep it for myself now......Lock this thread. I can't afford to keep buying knives.
