Knives. What do you cary?

I carry two knives. The smaller one is a Spyderco-used to open letters and for cutting rope etc. The big one is a large cold steel voyager that is never used and is on standby for emergency use.
 
Personal blades

General field use; the Kershaw folding blade is tough to beat. Custom-sheath also holds Lakota Finwing (caping knife; fixed) for less general applications. Front of sheath holds Kershaw and "Explorer" (I think that's the model) Swiss Army knives. Rear of sheath inside-the-belt-line is the Lakota; angled to accomodate shorter sheath, as well as being more accessible than when carried in the vertical. Thus, 4.5" long sheath holds all three; with the Lakota being almost invisible.

Camillus Robo Power. These little guys are alittle expensive, like 50-60 bucks for a small 3" blade. They are freakin reliable though. Full life time warranty, free factory shapening, and damn good steel. I've had mine for about 4 years and it's still as sharp as the day I bought it.
 
Daily Carry: Gerber Multi-tool and a Kershaw 1550ST (Ken Orion Design)

In the field (Hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing): 5" Ka-bar

Cold Steel Voyager Tanto. Nice and light, very tough, and a good blade. I keep a Leatherman in my vehicle for emergency work, and have several more knives for various purposes at the house.
 
knife

My everyday knife is a "GT" auto with a soon to be replaced non-serrated blade. My backup knife right now while the "GT" is away, is a CRKT M16-03Z.

I have a S&W knive and I strongly disagree with what you wrote, Mine has Been just fine and is sturty and the blade has held up well against some serious abuse.
Have you owned one? if so what in perticular was wrong with it?
In my opinion you cant beat the bang for the buck on they're knives.
 
they are usually found for 20-some dollars. they are made of cheap metal, the screws lossen up, the action become very loose, quickly. my cousin bought me one a year or so ago.. i used it at work. for various things ..opening boxes , cutting cardboard, cutting plactic zip ties..etc. The action was so loosed after 3 days it had to be tightened. and two of the frame allen screws went missing.

my point. If you are going to carry a knife for utility and or SD .. it is an bad choice. I think 60-70 is a minimum for a good knife. The Kershaw Blur has been outstanding..came very sharp too. i have used that as a prying tool more than once and it is still in great shape
 
TexiCali Slim,

I have not had good luck with S&W knives. I am sure there are good ones, but I did not get it, the steal was too soft to hold a good edge and the overall durability left something to be desired. OTH, I have had really good luck with Benchmade, Emerson, and Spyderco.
