This is my everyday carry knife

This is my baby, been my on duty knife for several years, very expensive and discontinued. It's actualy my second one and the fact that they are discontinued made this a very hard knife to hunt down. (I lost the first one :( )

I carry a SOG Flash I everyday. I also tend to carry my Kershaw Black Vapor II, and on occasion my n.e.c.k.

I switch up my EDC knives but I've been favoring the smaller/lighter variety lately over the combat folders.

today its my Frank Centofante (mines a teeny bit different but very similar):

I also like carrying a small william henry automatic.

eventually I'll buy a custom like a mel purdue but that can hold off for a little while.

I need to get myself a nice tactical knife for work. What are some good options around $75 bucks? I want it to be assisted opening and have a partial serated blade. I want something cheap until I decide to get an automatic knife with my creds.

I ran into one of the RP reps and he has an older Swiss Army Knife with a cigar scissor -- I love it. Unfortunately, they do not make it anymore. The closest you can get is an SAK with a punch.

Kershaw - Ken Onion - Chive I have carried it for several years and really like it. 2" blade so legal anywhere but does most everyday job well. I don't think they make the exact one I have anymore it is black & gold with a black blade very similar to this newer one that is all black. The assisted opening is great with a super fast dependable system.:tu

I carry a Kershaw Blur in the tanto blade everyday and its a wonderful knife.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009VCA0I/...SIN=B0009VCA0I

I love the feel of the handle, its a great size for my hand and teh assisted opening is smooth and controlled, doesnt feel like its gonna flip out of your hand if you dont have a good grip on it.

Im my fire department turn out gear, I carry the same knife, but in the rescue model, which has a blunt tip and a window punch on the end (never used it). Its got a different type of sereted edge, whihc both are equally good. I think the rescue model works better on things like cord and other smaller diameter objects, as where my tanto one works better on larger objects due to the "deeper" serated parts.

I usually carry this model Zero Tolerance. 0350. I like the DLC coated blade, G10 scales, S30V steel, FAST deployment with Speed Safe, 4 position clip for preferred carry.

Several different Kershaws and Hide-away-knives. Do a search for hide away knife, pretty handy little knife. I have the utility version in straight blade and claw.

What is the best way to sharpen your knife?
What about your kitchen knives (semi decent stuff Ja Henkels)
What if your EX-significant other abused them (kithchen knives) and they are all nicked up?

I figure you guys probably have links to this info or maybe it's a personal preference thing.
Thanks for your replies!

Picked up a DLC combo edged Leek at the show this week. I hate flying in and not having a blade. Felt good to rectify the problem. ;)

http://www.kershaw-knives.net/images...ST-600x600.gif
the serrated edge is slightly different, a uniform scalloped grind rather than the compound serrated grind here, but an elegant, sharp, thin bladed gentlemans knife, I think. Love the speedsafe open on the Ken Onion designs.

Just added another Kershaw yo my collection. Finally a reasonably priced auto ($60). Its not cheap feeling either. The aluminum handle is very light, very thin, and very cool.

Benchmade Griptilian, the best knife I've ever owned. I have several others, I typically buy a new knife every 6 months for one reason or another. Although this Benchmade gives me no reason to buy another in the foreseeable future.

It's easily the best knife I own. I have several Kershaw's, SOG's, etc. and so far Benchmade has made me a believer.

The Cyclone is no long listed in the line-up on the web site or in the newest catalog. They had a lot of trouble with the on/off SpeedSafe assist opening function on this model. They probably got tired of all the warranty work, so they discontinued this knife.

If it's on the TV...not worth owning. If you want a decently priced good folder get a Benchmade Griptillian or mini-griptillian depending on your states carry law.

That makes sense. Aside from the "speed safe" issues I had no problems. However it went to Kershaw 3 or 4 times to have that fixed. They were always friendly and fast though.

I have a fix for it. Let me know when and if you need it. I can send you the parts, and PM you the instructions. You just need a small torx bit. (#6 I think) My fix eliminates the on/off switch and includes a new "reaction bar". After the fix the speed safe is on all the time like most of the speed safe models.

Same I put up 3 of those for sale, my trusty SMF is never being sold. It's just a beast, getting rid of the 615 mini-rukus as the SMF and 302 are my tank knives.
