Daily carry folders

Holy Moly! That's awesome!

 

Bear, that knife looks like it was built like a brick $hithouse.

 

Thanks ..... yup..... "boink" someone on the head with the "butt" of this monster and their gonna have a mean headache.... if they remember anything at all after that

 

I know you wouldn't use that one, but do you like the chisel grind?

 

E.L., monkeyman, I have your combos, it was a Gerber Shortcut-like a Micra but bigger, and a 3" blade Paraframe for 13.82, with tax I paid 15 bucks. Anybody else want one?

 

Hey Melbo.... here's a comparison pic with a regular emerson....

I really like the chisel grind.... you gotta get used to cutting with it and sharpening it but its great.... oh and this one's a user.....

 

Now that is a pocket full of knife.

 

I have but one question - what is it with these folders like the ones I'm seeing here?

Whatever happened to the old style?

I can't shut the new kind.

Anybody want to get rid of the old ones they might have? Because these new ones are just killing me.

 

Hey TLynn.... you talking about the old reliable slip joints like the Old Timer Stockman by Schrade.... or just a good old reliable like the Buck Lockback?..... great knives as well.....

Bear

 

I'll have to look, T, I may have a couple I can mail you.

 

Yeah T... watcha looking for.... you never know what may turn up

 

Bear, the old Buck knives. I admit to loving them. I never could afford the Shrade knives (hey I admit it I spent a lot of my time being poor and broke lol).

I actually like the one Al Mar I won over on USN auction that was made like the buck knife. It got buried in my room remodel and I've got to dig it out again. How I can manage to get so many knives to vanish in a 10 x 12 room (and it's not even that big with the walk in closet taking up part of it right now is beyond me). But it's here - probably buried on this computer desk as we speak. Which I'm going to take everything off and sort through this weekend - I truly hate clutter.

 

I carry a spyderco police clipped in my pocket. I prefer the serated blade as it makes a cut that don't close back up right away. I also carry a micro-tech fiber-lite on a break chain around my neck.

 

I have a Spyderco Rescue out in the truck - if you need to rip through something it'll do the job with that serrated blade!

 

I guess I'm old-fashioned and like to keep things simple. I just carry a Buck Folding Hunter. Never had a problem with Buck knives, so I just stick with what works for me.

 

I'm with you, TLynn. I carried a Rigid Folding Hunter for over 25 years until it broke under the scales while chopping a branch. I now carry a Buck Alpha Hunter, figuring it would be a good transition between old and new styles. It definitely is smoother opening than the Rigid was, but this blade is BRITTLE! The edge chips so easily, I'll never get the blade life I got from the Rigid. I'm not easy on my knives, and would love to find another Rigid. It had a fuller grip and finger grooves that I haven't seen on any other knife. The Buck Folding Hunter just doesn't fill my hand like the Rigid did. Any of you have one laying around they want to part with? I also used to carry a Kershaw .22 Cal. folder when I didn't want to pack the big one on a plane in the pre 9/11 days. It looked like one of the Freedom Arms Mini Revolvers when it was in it's case. I heard it was only available from the Snap-On tool dealers. I have that one put away right now.

 

I do have to admit that while I may not care for the way the new knives close - I truly like this Buck/Strider that just arrived on my doorstep.

Dang it's purty. Wonder how much trouble I can get into at work if I start carrying it? Of course I'm not too sure how well it'll work with a suit - but hey that's never stopped me before.

 

Hmm, what do you think?
