(Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread

Very cool Tom! Aren't you a lefty?

Not my photo, but same 2 knives ...

I love the Benchmade Griptilian design and have one of the originals with the oval-shaped hole (now round). I think the Axis Lock is the best thing going in pocket folders and it opens almost like an assisted opener (it's not) with practice. I also got the trainer.

Thanks to whoever put this pic on the web!

Here's a new one I haven't posted on here yet.



This is a custom by Jens Anso out of Denmark called the Funk.

Not a knife, but scored a 100 lumen TerraLUX light today for pocket change

I've always carried a victorinox swiss army in my pocket - currently the small tinker model.

Not exactly a pocket knife but I've carried a KA-BAR last ditch neck knife for years. Weighs less than an ounce and could be a good thing if, like me, you're too old to either run as fast or fight as well as you used to but don't want to conceal a gun. Thankfully I've never had to resort to it. I am thinking I might retire it one day in favor of a Brous Silent Soldier. Significantly heavier though at 3.2 oz with sheath but it looks beatifully made and facilitates many more grip alternatives than the ka-bar.

Nice choice Tim! :

I own a Brous Bionic auto and I purchased a Bionic flipper for a friend for Christmas last year.

Really like his stuff!!!

Looks good. Does it have some weight to it? I am looking for a new knife that isn't too heavy. Keshaw has so many its hard to decide.

I can answer this as I have this same knife. Yeah, that's two slabs of steel for the handle. This is a well built knife and looks good when you are dressed up some.

Here's another little guy, a Chuck Gedraitis custom small Puffin Flipper. I had this one made to commemorate my 40th Birthday.

You can buy the knife in it's original configuration (808 Loco) for around $200.



This is no small knife, she is big and heavy but very comfortable in the hand.

I will consider that in the future. I do have a new knife in my near future. I'm considering a few different blades.

Thanks Greg! It is a Benchmade so it is ambi but the scales are made lefty specific so there aren't any extra holes to revers the pocket clip.
