Thread: EDC Knife

Delica for Civilan attire, Pacific Salt for work.

Just got this one in the mail. Been wanting one for quite sometime and it is better than I imagined. Now to put it to use for a while and see how it performs. Michael Morris Knives Friction Folder. The tang doubles as a bottle opener.

Sorry no pictures but lately it's been a Boker ceramic folding tactical knife with about a 3" blade and either a folding buck with about 1 1/2" blade (chipped tip from years ago) or a smaller Gerber with just over 1" long blade.

Jamie: wow, looks really nice..

JBPilot: I have 1 ceramic folder (got it as a gift, chinese made I think, name is Stone River), but am not sure if I'd use it or not due to ceramics fragility... how does your perform, do you notice any "fragility related" problems, or do you use it in the manner you avoid any trauma on the blade ..

Well... I use the crap out of it and while doing some slightly torquing on it towards the end it did get a small chip in it. Given the length of it though I still use it all the time. So long as I keep the force straight onto the edge and not to the side it's great. My next one will probably be an expensive one though because I want one with very hard durable metal.

Also keep in mind mine is a Boker so I know it's high quality ceramic.

How much difference is there in ceramics? How can one tell?

That I don't know. I just figured if I was going to buy a folding ceramic it was going to be from a company with a good reputation.

A Gerber tactical is what I usually carry day to day but I would like to get an old traditional pen knife with two blades one large and one small that fold without locking to carry in my pocket. Practical and useful except for self defense. More of a useful pocket knife. Maybe with a MOP handle. My dad used to carry one. I have so many other knives that I can only use when outdoors camping or hunting or fishing that I would like just a plain ole pocket knife that doesn't freak people out when they see it like the one I carry now does. Just my thoughts.

I love the look of case knives. Very nice find

Baladeo 37 Gram Lockblade in Zebrawood.

Love carrying this knife. It is extremely light and compact. Unique and after a little honing, extremely sharp.
