Thread: EDC Knife

One of these...Sorry about the poor quality. They were just quick mobile 'phone shots.

im not worried about being caught with it i just think its extremly close to a switchblade. its a good knife. and mick they are some nice pics i like those knives

Hi guys!
My daily kit includes:
1. Leatherman Al
2. Russian custom "Tabargan - 100"

I guess I'm too old fashioned.

I carry an old Challenge Cutlery teardrop jack and Buck 110 that I picked up the Phillipines to replace one that got stolen. This old 110 served me well in USN during the last days of the official conflict.

It's a '72 Model


The old Challenge I figure is from the 20's. Can't find a pic in my PB mess but it is the second knife up in the middle row of this pic

I LOVE old spear blades with straight pulls.

Nice blades there Wullie. I don't have anything as old as your 110, but I do have an Old Timer lock knife (Not the chinese made ones, refuse to own one of them!) that I truly love. Being a bit tedious to open one handed though, it tends to just stay handy but rarely used. I find that when I want to be using my knife, I am invariably trying to do so while holding something with my other hand ...Especially when I'm out on the farm.

I have a soft spot for Buck knives, you used to be able to buy them in drug stores. I took them on many a Boy Scout camping trip.

Used to be able to buy them at Wal-Mart. Can you still find them there now? I bought several Buck and Old Timer knives at Wal-Mart. Dirt cheap compared to the same article here in Australia.

ol timers are a good knife i love my grandfathers old one i still have it. my other favorite edc knife is my boot knife it just a 4 inch pakistain knife not a good edge holder but it saved my sorry butt once. i threw it at a greound hog that came running at me and tried to bite me one day when i went to the barn. luclky i was able to grab the knife and hit him in the back. it gave me time to stomp him and stick him a few times. called the game comission and they had him tested it turns out he was rabbid.

I used to live on a property in Western Australia, and part of my duties was shooting rabbits for various reasons. Being the sort of bloke I am, I like to make clean kills, but this one day I was on my way back to the house (on foot), and I had a chance to take out another bunny. Normally they had all gone to ground by then. I lined him up and took the shot with my 12g, but as I did, he took a couple of steps out of the line of fire, and I only injured him. I racked the slide for a quick second shot, only to hear the 'dead mans click'. I took off in a full sprint after this rabbit who was going as fast as he could, screaming, as only rabbits can. As I ran I swapped the shotgun to my other hand, and grabbed my knife. Just a cheap sheath knife. I threw this knife at the poor rabbit and ended up sticking him clean through the shoulder blades and pinned him to the ground. He was dead in his tracks. I couldn't believe it. It was sheer fluke, but it did the job.

P.S I still have that knife too.

That was the coolest story I've heard in a long time...bravo, sir. Bravo.
