i love my umnumzaan but i am thinking of getting a piranta for the simple blade changes
Emmerson CQC-7A. Everything from butchering deer to openin cans of tobbaco.
I picked up an Emerson Combat Karambit tonight. Can't wait for it to get here. I hope it lives up to the reputation and can replace or complement my ZT350 for EDC.
Aaaaaaaaand I cut myself practicing the draw from pocket LOL. I feel like such a dumb ass. I'll say this, the chisel grind edge leaves a nasty cut.
I have a Bunch of blades by the usual suspects. The one I am currently carrying is the Hogue/Elishewitz EX01 4"drop point auto. It is my current fave. I also love my Benchmade 42 when only a flipper will do! ;-P
A sharp one...
I dig the zero tolerance 301
How do you like the Sebenza for normal every day stuff like cutting open boxes, cutting string or twine, cleaning fingernails, and general futzing around with. I know it's more bucks than needed, but I have grown to like the look after a couple months of looking/reading and it sounds like they are usually tighter on the QC than the striders I was looking at. I need to get something <3" blade and would prefer folder so I can have something to take to/from work and keep in my pocket all the time without being worried about the locals freaking out. For a while I considered trying to modify one of my hook knives to use as a box cutter...
I carry this as well. It is awesome in every way, except the blade shape is kind of a bitch to sharpen.
Also carried a recon I before this. Love that recon.
I carry a Gerber Applegate/Fairbairn Covet Automatic clipped in my strong side pocket and a Paul Moore B.O.B. (licensed copy of Clinch Pick) horizontal/centerline on my belt.
I carry a Benchmade Rift RBK Strong side. Second blade on the thing and its still going strong.
Today I get a text from my buddy asking what model Spartan I was interested in, I told them about two models. He said they only have the Akribis in stock which was my first choice since hearing about this model months and months back. MY buddies buddy owns a pawn shop locally here and got the Akribis in on trade, I asked him how much he wanted as I knew it would be below MSRP. I think I got a screamin deal at $340, lock up is bank vault tight, materials are top notch and I can see that a lot of time and energy went into developing and making this folder. I now have two Spartan knives and am looking to collect more, IMO you can not go wrong with a knife like Spartan.
kershaw blur.....x2!!!!!
I have this little Case single blade lock back that I carry everywhere and then either my ZT 0200 or my Benchmade AFO II tanto. Would really like to get an Emerson Combat Karambit or Super Karambit.
Horton knives "Gomez reverse edge"
This is my Benchmade auto. I've had it for a couple years now and it is well used daily. The black on the blade was scraped all to hell so I took the blade out and blasted it with aluminum oxide to get this nice smooth, flat, gray finish. I really like how it looks
Did the same to my Microtech OTF...
Used a laser engraver to do the graphic and text.

I've broke a cold steel knife. I think it was heat treated too brittle, now I carry a Zero Tolerance. It is a good piece of steel but it opens too easy (I wish it were a little more child proof) I dread the day my three year old gets his hands on it. I also wish the pocket clip made it a little more secure.
Spyderco Caly 3 Carbon Fiber scales. ZDP189 laminate blade. And never without Leatherman Squirt S4.
Benchmade AFO II auto and a Laguiole with a damascus steel blade (currently under repair) cause I was stupid, but sharp as a razor. I also have a leek that I carry sometimes but its more for opening letters and cutting open boxes etc.
My fav is a emerson super roadhouse. However an emerson super knife or one of my ZT is next in line.
Another one for benchmade. Just get the US made ones with the 154CM steel.
carry a kershaw blur for my EDC
i have a few benchmades, but I have been carrying the same Spyderco Endura since 1996. Old school molded pocket clip. Fully serrated with busted up teeth. Its looks like a sharks mouth.
I'm going to have to toss in with the Skeletool guy(s). I've carried Benchmade autos, CRKT M14s, CRKT M21s (my favorite), and a few others. I finally replaced the M21 with a Skeletool. It's about the same width, smaller in every other way, and so much more practical. The blade is still easy/quick access one handed, and it's got a bottle opener..
Benchmade 710 or 943.
I'm in Texas so we can carry a fixed blade as long as it's not concealed, so with that said I carry a RAT 5 and when I'm going somewhere I don't want to draw that kind of attention either a RAT 1 or a waved endura.
My current EDC knife is a spyderco sage. Love that knive! It seems to be about the perfect size; doesn't feel like there's a boat anchor in your pocket, but its big enough to accomplish any task the daily grind of city living will throw at you. The blade came from the factory wicked sharp, and it holds a decent edge without require too much touch-ups. The carbon fiber handles are a very nice touch, I personally love the look. Makes the knife look in place whether you are wearing jeans or dress slacks.
ZT 0200. Been carrying it, and abusing it for years.
Love a spyderco delica or endure. Right now I'm carrying a benchmade rift auto for the cool factor.

Glad to see someone happy with Spartan. I like their company and I want a Harsey model II and an Enyo, I'm confident in their quality but don't see many reviews, the ones out there are great though
Knives of Alaska light hunter. Very light, made with D2 steel, keeps a razor edge, thin flat profile when folded, very inexpensive for what you get $60 - $75, and best of all made in the USA. Its not a tactical looking knife but with the edge I can put on it you wouldn't want to find your self on the sharp side of it. It is non threatening looking so I can pull it out at work if I need it without any raised eyebrows. I am a nurse so looking non threatening is mandatory I am sure technically I am not even supposed to have it on me at work, and it's weight does not pull my scrubs down. It is perfect for hunting I can clean and quarter an elk without having to touch it up once. Down side is it does rust so blade maintenance is needed if you want it to look like new. I absolutely love this knife and plan on buying three more.
I carry a Kershaw assisted open. I think its the chive. Very small but in business attire quite handy. Debating on moving up to a benchmade mini grip or something of that size. Should just get back to making my own...

Benchmade Griptillian, I have many "nicer/better" whatever you want to call it knives but my green griptian has a special place in my heart LOL. I have many stories to go with it that I wont bore anyone here with. Just seems to not want to leave my side. I believe we have a magnegtic connection between us
Spyderco Atlantic salt nonserrated 4" drop tip blade I believe. This choice was mainly a byproduct of my occupation but due to its large size, slim design and light weight I've yet to find anything I'd rather replace it for my EDC.
Benchmade Contego
Any Blue Class Benchmade! I realy like my Mini Onsluaght.
Spyderco Manix 2. 3oz of WIN!
Been carrying my home made convex edged griptilian.
