I get tired of fishing for my leatherman and struggling to open it with one hand (my WAVE got stolen, so I'm back to the PST II). Since I have to cut a lot of boxes, I wanted something with a TiN coated blade (thats titanuim nitride) I just got it a few hours ago (24 hour gun stores here in MT)<! in case you need to kill a democrat, NOW!, I'm just jokin')>. Its a Gerber AR 3.0, and I paid $40 for it... pretty good deal, its a little small on the grips, but its got a good width to the grip, I'd like a little better finger guard, but the fierce thumb guard is adequate... I like having a pocket knife for cutting and a multi tool for when the truck doesn't cooperate. Anyone else have a favorite pocket knife they always carry? Mine was made in Taiwan, the others were made in China, figured I didn't want to support communist china, and since Taiwan has more englich speaking citizens than southern california, I figured it was close enough. I picked up a few Kershaws, but they were just too thin, and I didn't like the open grip, it was the Vapor and Vapor II.

my new pocketknife just gave me its first scar, I'm sure there will be many more to come, this sucker is sharp! I'm getting blood on my keyboard....

 

Ah......Matt......it must be a slow night. I am working on a secret picture project and you are out buying knifes. I carry a small Buck. I have a couple of hunting knifes made in Finland that I have had for years. I pulled one out of it's holder one time when I was.....10 and ended up with two stitches. Cool on the 24 hour gunstores.

 

10?!?!?!? that must have been a century or two ago....

 

Yeah, it feels like it. I got the stitches with out any Novacane. A few years later when I was a passenger in a 54 Ford that knocked over a telephone pole. I needed a couple inside my lip. I told the doctor (same one), give me some Novacane.

 

I have a Kershaw that I carry now and then. I have a 3 1/2 in. Old Timer I keep in the truck. I have a 8 in. fixed blade hunting knife I carry when I go backpacking. And I have my dads old pocket knife he always carried with him, put away for safe keeping.

 

I have to recommend the KA-BAR. Tough, rugged, sharp, battle-proven.

I have a KA-BAR I carry hunting, the rest of the time I carry a Bench Made Osborne model.

 

My current carry knife is a Benchmade Griptillion. Don't leave home without it!

 

I like Camillus and Victorinox.

 

I had a real nice knife that I carried for 5 years then when I bought my current truck and was putting the tags on the back with the screwdriver blade.... I must have left it in the feild in my excitement to drive my new truck. I still miss that knife. all the others are not as good.

Benchmade and spyderco.

 

I have had this knife for a few years and I like it quite a bit.

My favorite is a Schrade, made in the USA. Small, three inch blade, comes with a small laynard that clips to a belt or loop and easily comes off the laynard with a push of the button. Legal pretty much everywhere so you can just stick it in a pocket. I keep it as a backup with my needle compass.

 

I've always carried a small Victorinox (sp?) Swiss Army knife with me.
(Oh-no, My wireless Mouse just died. noooooo!)

 

I carry a Gerber Legends 800, great multi-tool.
