Picked up a Benchmade Mini Griptillian a few weeks ago for an edc and I love it. Takes and holds an edge better than any other knife I've ever had.

EDC this:



Emerson CQC-7V plain edge. Awesome knife, the wave feature is sweet. Boss put that one through his hand one day. I don't hand him anything more dangerous than safety scissors anymore.

And when I'm at work I also carry a Leatherman MUT. Great tool, crappy knife as usual. But it gets the job done.

This is my EDC at the moment. I change it up every few months between my Spydercos, Benchmades, and Combat Elite.

Plus this...

3 problems with that knife, 1 that's more than twice what I paid for my grip, 2 I hate liner locks especially after using an axis lock, 3 I'll take a drop point over a tanto blade any day.

I actually use the tanto quite a lot and I have no problem with the liner lock, however the axis lock is definitely awesome.

And the price really wasn't bad. Sure it's a little expensive but it wasn't much more than some of the benchmades I was looking at.


And I can still have the knife out and open long before the next guy, even if he has an auto.

My SOG Trident Tanto and I are like siamese twins. We're always attached to each other. Errands, work, school, anywhere. I think I'd cry if God forbid something happened to it.

Almost lost it when both my knife and leatherman disappeared in two days. I think my leatherman is long gone, found my emerson(though I already had another ordered. So now I have a plain edge and a serrated).

But I've been looking at the L-man OHT to replace the MUT. I like the "out the front" plier design. Just need to find a tan one in stock somewhere.

My friend is looking for a good fixed blade to keep in his splicing kit, he has been looking at the myerchin rigging knives, but they're a 440c equivalent. I'm thinking he is going to want a higher grade steel, although with what we do nothing will hold an edge(a rigger at another company has to re-sharpen his ceramic "never sharpen" knives every week). So should he go with a 154cm that he can sharpen easily? Or something else? And does anyone know of a good fixed knife where the edge is lower than the handle so he can cut on a flat table?

Btw I picked up one of the ultimate edge sharpening tools from Emerson's site. Great piece.

I have a couple of multi-tools with blades (SST, and don't cut well), but I also have a Gerber metolius fixed blade with gut hook. I like it.

I have kitchen scissors for a knife. They cut sheet metal, wire, fiberglass cloth, animals and also open beer. Much better utility tool than a knife. Poultry sheers are better, but they don't open beer--unless your brand has a twist-off.


I have guns, too. I don't use them for the same things I use my scissors for.

Now this is a thread I can get interested in.

I love knives. I have lots of knives. Oddly enough my most disappointing knife was a Smith & Wesson. I could not keep the blade pivot screw from backing out. One of my favorites is an antique butterfly that I got from my grandfather. I think it may have been his father's.

I'll gets some pics here soon.

Maybe, but unfortunately scissors don't clip to my jeans quite as nicely.

ALways been a Spyderco and Benchmade fan, but I have been carrying a Gerber for the last few months that is not bad. Liner lock though, and like others I'm not the biggest fan, but it's grown on me.
