Thread: Favorite pocket knives, here's mine, where are yours ?

My new favorite: Spyderco Left Hand Military 4"

I've posted this in another thread, but here is my EDC. Benchmade 950 Rift.

Here are what I would call my EDC knives.

The Clasp knife is a Rodgers and it was given to me by my god father who is in the Navy Reserves. It's a great knife, takes a good edge, but weighs a ton. I don't carry it often.

The Opinel Slim is probably one of my favorite carry knives. It sits nicely next to my wallet, is very sharp, sheeple friendly and very elegant. Can be opened signle handidly fairley easily. I like it a lot. Great in the Kitchen too. I would like to fit a pocket clip or perhaps a hole for a lanyard would do.

The all black knife is a Browning I picked up in the states. It's not really legal as an EDC without reason, i used to use it at work to cut up boxes, and for a cheap knife the blade used to hold up for months doing that. I don't work in that job any more so I rarely carry it.

The Green thing is a Svord peasant. A great knife for UK EDC as it's a completely legal friction folder. I intend to edc this for a couple of months to see how it goes. Not sure if it will replace the opi though.

The Laguiole is a Chinese one with 440. It's actually a pretty good knife with a good sold slipjoint. I like it, heavy, but I quite often take it to occasions as it's so elegant no one takes much notice.

The SAK is on my belt most of the time. And the small locker is used as a neck knife quite often if I'm in the garage or what ever.

A Laguiole lives in my pocket. It looks a lot like this one:

I have been carrying a SOG Vulcan in my pockets for a few months and a few days ago, I've ordered a Fallkniven FH9. I need a smaller and less aggressive blade when around Boston because of its knife laws.

On the left is my daily carry knife, a Kershaw Ken Onion 1660CKT. The middle one is a Case Trapper which I actually used for skinning but I dulled it too quickly so I switched to a disposable razor knife. The knife on the right is a Browning that my wife gave to me as a Christmas present, that goes hunting with me. I had a smaller case that I carried for years until I lost it.

Oh, and what collection would be complete without a KA-BAR, doesn't fit in my pocket though.

My everyday carry is a Buck Nobleman 0327SSS-B.


Used to carry a Kershaw Leek, but I kept losing them and they got too expensive to keep replacing.


The Buck holds a better edge and is sexier anyway.

This is a perennial discussion. I like that it comes up from time to time because we get to see each other's collections growing. Here are my locking folders:


In the unlikely event you can't see for yourself, the Benchmade is my EDC.
Here's my customized Pro-Tech Godfather (I re-scaled it with spalted apple and turquoise):

Even though I rarely carry one (they are illegal in CT and I can open and close my Benchmade just as fast) but I love the automatics! Maybe it's the Italian in me. We used to call them switchblades. I have a nice little collection and I hope it grows to a nice big collection:

Hey, one is missing! Oh that's right, one of my favorites:
My Foster M1911 double action. Well done double action knives are very impressive bits of design and machining.
