Last weekend I had a 4 hour drive to an archery tournament. As my bored mind wandered I got thinking about knives. I realized I had 10 knives on me or in my truck! Various style brands etc.

The one in my pocket is a Kershaw Leek. The first thing I did when I got it was to remove the pocket clip. Then it is nice and slim and rides in my pocket nice. I have had it a few months now and have seriously thought about reshaping the tip. Very fragile. It does work nice for cleaning under my fingernails though.

I have since removed a few from my truck. If someone stole my truck I would have lost a lot of blades!

I've got somewhat more than 10...

I'm in need of a new folding knife and just ordered a SOG Tident Tanto. Anyone have the Trident a SOG knife? If so, I hope they're as good as the reviews on Amazon says they are. Feedback welcome.

I had a SOG Flash II that I really liked...until i lost it.

I'm also a Kershaw fan. I carry a 1560 stainless assist-opening. I think I've carried it for about 3 years.

Is it too big to clip to the inside of a pants pocket?

Ultra Strong, Tanto point, 3-4" folder? Cold Steel San Mai III is exactly what you are looking for.

Hmmm, looks like the Recon is the closest they have now. I don't think they make San Mai III steel anymore. Shame.

Correction. They still have San Mai III steel but you have to search for it on their web site. It's not on the mail pages anymore. The blades are made in 3 layers. Ultra hard in the middle sandwiched between springier steel. This means a very nice edge that can resist breakage.

I've never been able to put a very good edge on a Buck knife. Something is different about them.

I have the same issue. Bought a Buck fixed blade for a recent camping trip and had a hard time getting it sharp and wound up rusting on me. Not impressed!

That's the way I carry it.
