Any knife guys out there?

I carry a Zero Tolerance 0200 with a plain edge and I absolutely love it. I also own a few Spyderco that are great dress up knives.



What do you guys like/own/carry?:icon_cheers:

I carry a Benchmade Griptillian with tanto blade. Love the thing. I get it sharpened occasionally at gun shows.

Those griptillians have a crazy beefy blade but I'm always at a loss as to why Benchmade didn't give them a full frame liner.

That axis lock is hands down the best though.....

I work 1/4 mile from Kershaw's shop/distribution warehouse (they only assemble the expensive pocket knives there I think, maybe some designing) and go to their sale every year so my inventory of Kershaw is much higher than any other knife company in my collection... Their current selection doesn't have a whole lot available with the pocket clip going the way I like although they seem to be working that direction. I've been carrying a "Crown II" since December and have been liking it for the most part, not bad for a $8 knife...

A buddy of mine just bought the Kershaw Cryo. Badass little knife for 30 bucks. Kershaws heat treat on 8cr13mov must be a bit better than Spyderco's. That Cryo holds an excellent edge.

I carry a Buck 373 I use everyday, it has opened many a box and cut many a zip tie.

Buck 102 and a medium sized Winchester with a guthook for huntin'. The Winchester is just a cheapie but I got it for Christmas years ago, I don't know how many deer it has cleaned but I haven't had a problem with it yet and it is a very nice size. I got the 102 because sometimes it is nice to have a little longer blade (but the longer blade can also get in the way too) It is also just plain cool looking too. :D

I am surprised Topher has not discovered this yet. He is a knife nut.

SOG Trident, serrated. Absolutely LOVE this knife. I'm pretty sure I'd be heartbroken if I ever lost it.

i have a POS smith and wesson special tactical. it was $12 at bass pro. i'd love to have a nicer knife, but it's not "if", it's "when" i'm going to lose it. this is my 3rd one. 2nd one broke and i left the first one on my bumper at the dump and drove off.

I liked the flash 2 better, for the smaller size. But I was edc the trident for a year, now I seemed to have lost it :(

I might replace it with this:


If I head to the oil patch this year, a ESEE 4 or 5 is on my to buy list.

Just got the shipping confirmation on a Boker Nopal. Of course when I receive it I'll throw some pics up and give a quick review.

I ordered it to play with a chisel grind.
