K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

[Davo308]

Lmao this post could go bad in a hurry. Good shit.

Now Im interested.

 

[DetroitRearView]

Vintage, well used but very sharp Gerber USA Boot knife

 

[goneballistic]

Spyderco resistance

 

[Remington_Steel]

These are always on hand.

I've had this Cold Steel AK for about 10 years now and have absolutely beat the ever loving hell out of it. It was my duty knife for 8 of those years and I think I may have paid $60. Whatever replaces it will be American made, but this thing will always be a favorite. That pommel on the end has broken a lot of shit.

 

[Rant Durden]

RIGHT now? A Spyderco-Military, plain black edge.View attachment 7510889

Beat up ZT. Not sure which model. Great knife.

Currently a ZT 0562CF in CPM-20CV. Love the knife and it's built like a tank!

 

[Kisssofdeath]

Right now this ZT is the chosen one.

But every few months I'll switch out to any of these, yeah even the Halo. I use my knives, not just look at them.

 

[Doctorwho1138]

KOD. Love the Microtech. Great beater knife

LOL, good one. Other than the paper test I haven't cut anything with the Halo. But, it has seen some hard use demonstrating its ability to punch through both sides of an empty Coke can.

 

[Ronin_64]

GG Hawk Knives MUDD auto. Awesome knife
Also own one of their Deadlocks. An OTF auto that has a solid lockup with no wiggle in the blade

 

[Basher]

Hogue Ritter for the past while. Probably gonna drop down to an Ontario RAT soon though, we’re kind of hard on blades at my day gig and I’d rather beat up AUS-8 that sharpens easy than M390 that’s a PITA, haha.

 

[E. Bryant]

Today's carry piece is a Doug Ritter Mini Grip in M4 with DLC coating

There you say something.

I´ve really spend a little effort to get my first super steel knife, with M4.
But then I wasn´t able to sharpen it properly, it was definetely a PITA and still is.

I´ve learned that you only can sharpen it with diamond stones (harder than the steel), so I got me some and now it works better.

But this is my first and will be my last super steel knife I´ve bought.

True story. I have knives in zdp, 3v, elmax and some other higher end steels.

I keep going back to d2 and cpm154 for general use knives and 52100 and Aeb-l in the kitchen.

 

[Tchitcherine]

ZT 0452 CF S35VN, for the last 8 months or so, love it. But. Thinking of replacing the CF scale for something with more friction -- any suggestions ?

G10 is grippy, even when wet. Micarta is even more grippy when wet. Both are great scale types. Here is a good read:

Yep, the wonder steels are amazing at working forever and ever, but of you don’t know how to care for them, or just don’t make the time to, you’ll pay for it in the end! For certai applications, I love them. But for most everything else, I prefer more pedestrian steels.

If I’m really beating on it, AUS-8 is amazing because it’s dirt cheap, but takes a keen edge that’s easy to bring back. Another good option is 1095, but it’ll rust much faster.

For something a little nicer that I want to hold an edge a bit better and that I won’t be beating on quite as hard (ie not hard use, but more every day general use), VG-10 and CPM154 are fantastic. D2 is as well, but again, it’ll rust faster.

And for “flashy” EDC, S30V is my usual go-to. Takes a solid edge, lasts a long time, but is on the upper end of the scale for effort required to bring an edge back for regular use. Anything above that starts to become a PITA to sharpen if I let it go too long, LOL.

Great looking knife. I love looking at well worn knives. Microtech will replace the screw for free if you so desire I believe. Love the color too

Here's my Bugout and Mini Bugout, both wearing Flytanium G10 scales. Gray on the Bugout and Black on the Mini. Bugout has titanium deep clip, I believe it's a MXGear, but can't remember. VERY lightweight knives. I carry them on a rotation. Love them both.

I told him I'd rather have some .22LR ammo instead!

Today is a Spyderco Military. Prefer my PM2 and Manix 2, but have to keep the rotation consistent.
