Thanked: 0I'am a balisong (butterfly knife) nut. And I think someone mentioned earlier that butterfly knives are not practical... ouch that hurt!! lol.
The spyderfly is too big of a knife to carry anyway, but a good flipper.
I personally carry the Benchmade Morpho. Outstanding knife.

Thanked: 0When I am at work their are two items always hanging on my belt, my Gerber Covert Combat Folder and my Leatherman Wave. The folder was designed and made with the assistance of Bill Harsey who, IMHO, is one of if not THE best knife maker today. It is made of very strong steel making it difficult to sharpen but equally difficult to dull. My Leatherman is my general "any goes" or "go to" tool. It has never let me down.
When not in uniform I have a small Boker three blade stockman that is about 2 inches long. Big enough for small jobs, cutting rope, breaking down boxes, etc but small enough not to be obtrusive. I don't even walk around my house without a pocket knife, but I am a little strange.

Thanked: 79Funny you mentioned the Gerber covert (AKA Applegate-Fairbairn Covert). It is indeed a great little knife. Years ago I used to carry the full-size version, and snatched up one of the first production run models of the covert when it came out (Rex Applegate was still alive...been awhile ago). Wonderful knife that I prized. It was stolen. Thankfully I commute to the base now, and don't live in the barracks where things have to be stored with easy access for types soon to be kicked out....
I think I might buy another one. They're a really good knife for the money and don't take much space.
