Favourite knife?

Shane1911 · Aug 16, 2001

The recent article on our own Matt Lamey has me asking this question.

So.....what's your favourite folder? Favourite fixed blade? What's your everyday carry?

Matt can't vote for his own products!

Me - Benchmade 722 (folder) and Chris Reeve Shadow III (fixed). My everday carry is the BM 722, and a CKRT LE7011 Apache folder.

Benchmade 710SBT (wanted the HSS) most of the time, sometimes a Benchmade Mini-AFCK. Also sometimes a Delica.

John Marshall · Aug 17, 2001

Benchmade 705 & Kershaw 2415, left and right pocket respectively.

As for fixed blades, I like simplicity and to me that means Ka Bar (stuck on inexpensive production stuff I guess). On the other hand, I saw a picture of one of Matt's blades on another forum last night and it was PURE simplicity AND beauty.

(I'll stick with the K-Bar and some CRKT folders 'till then...)

Favorite folder, especially in areas which prohibit concealed carry: Crawford KFF with titanium handle.

Favorite defensive fixed blade: Polkowski Mini Pug.

Folder I carry all the time: Chris Reeve Large Sebenza.

By the way. Milt Sparks is now carryng the Chris Reeve line of knives. Tony indicated to me that if there was enough interest, he would consider making a sheath/pouch for the Sebenza. If any of you are interested, please let him know.

Daily folder w/CCW: Emerson Commander.
Daily working folder: Microtech SOCOM M/A.

Tom Freeman · Aug 17, 2001

Microtech Halo III for carry and for an oh shit knife I have an Emerson Ti LaGriffe. Both of which have been Christmas presents from my wife. That is so cool.

Favorite folder: The ones by Allen Elishewitz.

Favorite fixed blade: Any good Bowie. Always had a thing for Bowies.

I couldn't decide between the Benchmade 910S Stryker and the Emerson CQC-7 so I carry both. Once you get used to carrying "ambi" it feels strange to carry just one.

While I don't own any original Dave Kaspar designed/Polkowski built blades, those would be my favorites, like Cosby above.

I have two of the CRKT inexpensive (yet very sturdy and adequate) licensed copies and enjoy them very much.

Folder - KFF- Krawford fighting folder
Fixed - Probably the 5" Pug or the Companion

For folders, a tiny little Timberlite Neeley Lock, an old BenchMade, and a nifty S&W automatic with a 1 3/4 inch drop point blade. For fixed blades, I am stuck on Randalls.

Kershaw folding field knife and a Cold Steel Master Tanto.

Both have proven almost indestructible and have stayed very sharp with little work for over 7 years. I'm very rough on knives with my job.

Citizen_Gilmore · Aug 18, 2001

SRK from cold steel, is one of my fav`s.. Everyday carry, is a cold steel safe keeper II -Gilmore

keithtrigger · Aug 18, 2001

My favorite fixed is my Benchmade Nimvirus M2 steel and the only folder I have is a Gerber E-Z Out. I'm a fixed blade nut. I would like an Emerson folder though.

Tim Williams · Aug 19, 2001

I carry a fixed blade everyday made my Bob Dozier (Slim Outdoorsman)

Folding knives very from the Spyderco Large Wegner or Endura to the Micrtech Sodcom.

Busse and Livesay fixed blades...

StormMaster · Sep 21, 2001

Don't have much experience with fixed blades apart from USGI bayonets -- and that's what I usually carry in the field because they can be used for anything, and easily replaced. Ever thought about opening a case of MREs or digging a hole with a Randall? I didn't think so. :grin:

My everyday folder is a Benchmade 970SBT-L -- as in left-handed. It doesn't look so hot these days, but it still gets the job done.

Monty Grubbs · Sep 21, 2001

I have carried an Emerson CQC-7 made by Benchmade everyday for the last three and a half years.

I really don't mess with fixed blades that much.

harley45 · Sep 21, 2001

My two favorites are the mod dieter cqd and the spyderco delica, both with the plain strait blades, no serations in my house.

STUMP · Sep 22, 2001

My favorite folder is the Benchmade Pinnacle and my fixed blade is a David Dempsey custom fighter. http://www.dempseyknives.com
