Knives

[RedJohn]

Further mitunnelrat's thread about his knife, let's display our best knives here. I'll start.

I picked up this one on line. The guy sold it to me $5 and even shipped it from AZ to FL. I am so in love with this knife. It looks like it has seen some diving time and it is still in perfect condition.

Day-um. Thats sweet!

[RedJohn]

Yeah, I like it so much that while I am in Europe, it stays in the safe at the bank.

I think I have that exact knife in the pile 'o knives. I'll have to check when I get back home.

I have a few fixed blade knives but they inconvenient to carry every day. This is my favorite pocket knife. I have the 950SBK.
9050 AFO Auto | Benchmade (http://www.benchmade.com/products/9050#skus)
Finally got photos if it. It is a bit worn ... the kids at Scouts want one because they think it is cool to push a button and have it open. It is very convenient that way ...

Benchmade knives are awesome. Very long lasting typically.
I carry one of 2 Kershaw folders daily. The GHB in the truck has an old Becker Campanion sheath knife that's just a good all round bad situation one to have on hand.
I have a SOG Seal Pup I keep in the car bag. I think it's gonna go into the wife's GHB since it's light and fits her hand pretty well. I'm not sure what I'll get to replace it yet.
One other knife I like and keep in the GHB in the truck is a Boker folder. The metal in the blade holds a great edge and is a fairly hefty knife. It's just too big and heavy to carry all the time.

I should have thought to follow this format in my own thread, its definitely better geared for discussion! Two other knives I enjoyed for EDC were the CRKT Falcon and the Kershaw Chive. The CRKT especially impressed me. I used it to cut shingles on a small job and it came out intact at the end, and sharpened right back up.

my ECD is a folder from CRKT its the M1 designed by Greg Lightfoot

I'm thinking of getting a Ka-Bar or a Recon1 next...maybe both. I for one believe you can never have enough knives (well I guess that just goes for all weapons in general...) Has anyone had experience with either of these.

[RedJohn]

I forgot about that one

No metal!!

[LUNCHBOX]

I run the Gerber LMF in tan on my battle belt. I don't usually carry in and out of work due to indoor weapon rules. I do have a multitool in my bag and Gerber folder in the truck also.

I EDC a Cold Steel XL Voyager.

I also always carry a Victorinox Tinker because the Voyager can be intimidating.

Lounging around INSIDE the house a Spyderco Endura 4 rides in my front pocket.

You might also find the Kowulz' Urban Fury knife that I designed riding in my cargo pocket.

Thanks for sharing those Rock. What's the scoop on that last one? That is intriguing to me.

[Rock]

Thanks, Stig. My dad is a custom knife maker and I have always been around guns and knives. I've had the pleasure of attending the Blade Show in Atlanta for the past 14 years and became friends with some world class knife makers.

Urban Fury Tactical Utility Folding Knife (Prototype)
Description: Designed by Rock Cowles of Kowulz Design and built by Dave Curtiss of Curtiss Knives. CPM 154 steel, Titanium handle and clip, IKBS opening system. The Urban Fury is a large flipper/folder framelock knife that combines the strengths of the Wharnecliffe, Tanto, and Sheepsfoot blade styles. The blade has a slight belly and strong tip and is set at a natural forward angle similar to a Saber Grip without compromising wrist strength.

The custom handle texturing is grippy without being overly aggressive. It was cut by Great Lakes Water Jet.

A major knife company requested one of my two prototypes for a possible collaboration.

Thanks for that info. Please keep us posted on the progress of this...depending on cost I'd be very interested in purchasing one.
