What knives do you daily carry?
- Thread starter Hatfield
- Start date
I've been eyeballing ESEE knives for awhile, and recently took the plunge and ord'd the Izula and Izula II. Offeted on Amazon in a pkg deal, and a Blade Tech Lok device was included. Went for the Micarta handles instead of the G10 material. Both knives come with a sheath and a belt clip to optionally attach if desired.

I have 3 of those first run knives with the good steel. I love them! I carried one for years and like you lost some screws. Called in and they sent out pocket clips for all and a full compliment of screws for each. Excellent Customer service.
Adding to my ESEE's, I ord'd this last week. It's the Candiru model with G10 scales instead of the micarta mat'l. Blade is just 2" long, and as with the other ESEE knives, it came with a sheath and a [metal, not plastic] belt clip, with screws included if one desires to utilize a belt clip.

I have a Benchmade Osborne first production run 0782 of 1000 I bought when they first started making them, and four really nice CKRT's Designed by Ken Steigerwalt with Outburst® Assisted Opening, that pretty much sit in a nice wood box. A few I have carried, but so little that I have never sharpened them. Back in my youth I damaged my thumb on my dominate hand, so even with the assisted opening I need two hands to open them. The Benchmade is so smooth I can easily open it. Not sure if I want to carry the Osborne, might be a collector someday. I recently saw a Benchmade mini Barrage that I can operate, but I am not sure I want to invest in another Benchmade (big investment for me) when I already have a Benchmade. Works out kind of stupid, so I just carry the old reliable Victorinox Tinker. That's my story..... sad as it is......

I’ve been carrying a CRKT M16 at work.
These were on sale for five bucks at HF and I bought several.
I use them for everyday tasks, not specifically as a defensive knife. The clip can go in all four positions.
I also keep one clipped on my "yard" pants and on my "garage" pants as well as what I'm wearing daily.
Yep, at this price I can afford to be too lazy to move one knife around.
Sharp and cheap enough that I don't worry about losing or breaking them. But I haven't done either so far.

I was in 7th grade....
I only have a handful of knives, which co sist if CRKT, ESEE, and recently a couple of Leatherman tools (Surge and a T4). Yesterday I wandered off the trail and ord'd a Civivi Pintail, with green micarta scales, and black 2.98" blade. Got the "shipped" email today, and it's set to arrive by 1/7.

You can buy them at lowes and Menards for about 70.00. I also went back to work sharp and bought more belts of different grit.
400,600,800 and 1600. There was too big a jump going from 220 to the 6000 finish. The 6,8 and 1600 grit belts made a huge difference. I do believe they now have one with ceramic particles I've not tried that one.
When this one goes belly up I'll get the Ken Onion. It's a better unit.
