EDC Knives

#1

Post by GOP »

I have several everyday carry knives, actually i usually carry two, one strong side, usually an Emerson with the "Wave" feature, and a self assist on my left side/pocket, usually a SOG.

My thoughts on carrying a self-assist in my left pocket are in case my right hand is holding my pistol I can still deploy a knife if needed. Much in the same way I have access to my flashlight on my left side.

Any other ideas out there?

I've had my eye on a fixed blade as of late. I like the idea from the utility standpoint of saving time without fumbling to open and close the blade every time I need to use it (which is sometimes quite often), plus with your weak hand it would be very easy to grab.

This is one that I've been watching: Gerber Fixed Blade

I carry two. One on each side. Both assisted opening.

The Gerber gets daily use in my job and I don't mind it getting beat up. I consider it a tool.

The other is a very nice Kershaw with a razor sharp blade that I try to keep pristine
and serves as my SD knife if all else fails.

Went to buy one of those and wound up with a CRKT M16-14D instead. Really like the size and feel.

Four inch Cold Steel Ti Lite. That six inch is looking bad to the bone, however.

I got a few of those CRKT M16 knifes myself. I pretty much keep to a rotation, an Emerson for SD, and whatever i feel like for daily use. My job has me using a knife all day long, mostly box opening.

Anyone else use an Emerson Wave knife? I know Spyderco has a few out there with his design.

I've carried this assisted-opening Kershaw Blur w/tanto blade for almost two years it's still in perfect condition, and I love it. Plus it matches my gun. :coolgleamA:
