i'm bored. what knife do you have w/you right now?

Postby pointysticks » 04 23, 2013 •  [Post 1]

what is your EDC? (everyday carry)

i put away my vintage Case, and clipped back my old favorite. my Benchmade Elishewitz. my sharpest folder. just got it back from benchmade warranty, when the blade started feeling sloppy at the hinge. it is solid now!! better than new. Benchmade warranty is amazing, so-far :)

I almost always carry a three blade ( 2 1/2 inch main blade) German Boker pocket knife. Just for the fun of it I used it once to take apart an elk, and prepare it for the pack out. You would think the elk would run to the truck when they get shot, but they are not one bit considerate. I suppose that is beside the point here, but the pocket knife did the complete job on the elk. I used no other tool to take it apart. BTW; what is the point here? :D

I just started carrying a Jim Bowie limited edition pocket knife my mother in law gave me after my father in law passed away. Other then hunting i don't normally carry a knife but for this one i made an exception.

I used my benchmade on a hog. Took serious effort to clean that knife. I almost put it thru the dishwasher. Almost.

Had a benchmade griptilan for may years befor it grew legs and waked away, so the lil' lady replaced it for my birthday and said maybe the orange will keep me from loosing it.....lol

Great knife, i did 90% of the quatering of dads bull with my griptilan.

funny you should mention this. i am boxing up a Case knife to send back to them for the free sharpening and cleaning. i cant get my case that sharp. maybe the steel is too hard for my tools. dunno. the rest of my knives are like razors. this case i own i annoyingly dull for my standards. opens avocados great tho. :)

Carry a 3-1/2" Old Timer 3 blade with me every day. Not the fanciest or most expensive, but it always gets the job done.

Since I got my Piranta it's all I use. I don't use a knife a whole lot, but it's pretty much all I do use.
