CRKT Folding Razel for me. Love it.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Just ordered a Kershaw Skyline with the G10, cool little cheapish knife!
I think I am gonna save up for a nice spiderco or benchmade next.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Theres two main blades I carry, a Spyderco and a Kershaw. I love them both, I have a few "classy" looking Gerbers, (read, not beat up) that I will carry if we're going out.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Got this one for Christmas. I love it so far. Zero Tolerance 0350

Nice knife Boz :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Nice Boz, I am looking at some of their products. They seem like high quality knives!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Kershaw Skyline should be here tomorrow, anybody know of a source for custom scales?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Spyderco Para2 is in the top three I am deciding between purchasing for my #1 EDC.
Really leaning towards Spyderco because of the price difference compared to the 0561.

Another in the running is:
ZT 0561 or the 0560
http://www.edgeobserver.com/wp-conte.../ZT-0561_2.jpg

Which would you guys choose?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

ZT, like the look of the handle.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Well I can actually change the scales on both, I worry the ZT will be thicker in my pocket though.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

the zt is beautiful but idk about the price tag. Id never carry it.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Yah can't imagine losing that thing, would be heart breaking.
I am pretty sure I am gonna go with the Para although I don't wanna lose that either, especially if I put custom scales on it.

I was also thinking about the Spyderco Manix 2. Gonna try and find a youtube video comparison now.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

For me it's hard to beat a spyder. I have edc'd one pretty much for the past 15 years or so. Love them!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks for your feedback, pretty sure I am gonna get it. I will think about it this weekend.

I'm with steve

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I think I have posted a picture of my Military somewhere in this thread. It's been swiming with me in the Keys and climbing in the N.C. Mountains and Whitewatering as well. Keeps an edge and opens smoothly every time!

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I carry a Kershaw Blur daily

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

what he said, s30v version.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Mine's black with the 14C28N steel. I have not had any rust issues.


Anyone interested in any Kershaw or ZT knives check out http://kershawguy.com/ he had blem models of some that have cosmetic issues and no warranty but are cheaper. :tu

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

My Skyline arrived, it is a nearly perfect EDC "cheap" knife. Super slim, super light weight and quality built. I can't feel it at all in my front pocket.

I was going to buy a Para2 but they appear unavailable for a good price currently, I am not as big of a fan of the Military compared to the Para2 based upon lock location. I am deciding between the following knives, I like them all:

DPx HEST 2.0 (Love the bottle opener)
Hogue EX01 (Like the lock)
ZT 0550 (Beautiful)
Bradley Alias 1 (Poor man's Sebenza)

Any thoughts or opinions on these?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

You realize all those listed have the lock in the same place as the military right except the hogue? What will be the purpose of this knife? Just regular edc? Dressy edc?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Similar, but I would rather have the Para2 if I was going to get a Spider. I don't wanna buy the model I didn't REALLY want from them. I believe the Military is a linerlock under a G10 and these listed are all frame locks, which I like much more. The one I am looking for will be general use, with a rare rough day in the woods. I don't do much with a blade at work other than open the occasional box or letter. I am leaning towards the ZT currently because there are tons of scales available to keep it interesting.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Why not get the 0350 or 0300

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Not a knife guy so please pardon the ignorance.
Thinking of getting one and think I am interested in the type that ejects straight outward, as opposed to jack knife type.
Any pros or cons on that thought and any suggestions on something reasonably priced for now, until I fall off that cliff also and get into more expensive ones

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Out the front? Impractical as a tool decent as a weapon. Had one but sold it because its more of a novelty than a tool. Fun to play. If ur gonna go that route don't cheap out, u get what u pay for

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Not as tool, purely for defense.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Honestly I'd use a handgun lol. To carry one if fl u have to have a concealed carry permit. Bedtime for me. Ill pm u tonight with my experience with auto otf knives

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Thanks.
I have CCW.
Wanted one for some occasions as backup.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

For some reason I like the look of the 0550 better, kinda machine/industrial style. Plus I think the 0350 is not a frame lock but liner lock and the 0300 is just kinda fat looking. Personal preference only. The titanium frame locks are just sexy!
I like the 0560 too but it is out of my price range.


I wonder if I can find a low rider clip for the 0550, that would be perfect.
It comes stock with the same designed clip as the Skyline I just got, it's a nice clip but rides a bit high.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

So I cashed in a couple days of 2012 vacation and ordered a couple knives.
Can't wait for them to show up! Will post pics!!!

Black G10 Spyderco Para2
Black G10 ZT 0550 Gen2

The ZT 0550 Gen2 has the same pocket clip as the 0560 so it sits deeper in the pocket, this makes me happy.
Also the Gen2 has an easier open due to a redesigned frame lock bar.
Here is the updated model, compare to the pic above:

My current EDC Kershaw Skyline:

Still waiting on my Spyderco PM2 :su

Bought this Buck 175 a few years ago but recently started carrying it again.

I have a custom made friction folder on order (similar to the picture), can't wait for 190 days to get here.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Ordered a custom made sheath from a leather maker in England, similar to this one but in a darker leather:

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Very cool knife and sheath.

Old square nail in the cut tree?

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

No idea, it is the manufacturers pic :D

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

I'll bet it suprised theguy with the chainsaw. I once cut through the edge of a bullet with the chainsaw. Looked to be 30 cal'ish, complete with lands so if probably wasn't too old, maybe.

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 

Well my Spyderco PM2 fell through, after 8 days of waiting for the knife to arrive I e-mailed the vendor from Amazon to find out their stock had run out. That is terrible service that I had to ask why it had not arrived. Ordered on the 22nd, still awaiting my refund.
