What's your daily pocket knife?

MiniGrip is the perfect pocket size. I got out of the habit of a dedicated knife after years of multitools on the belt. I carry both now. (joined EDCForums.com and learned about the MiniGrip). I have the full Grip also, just because.
 
Im turning into a knife junkie and am wanting to see what everyone is carrying. I picked up the Kershaw Leek a couple months ago and I love it. WOuld reccomend it to anyone. Very sharp and the assisted opening is great.

I "had" that exact same Kershaw with me daily... the belt clip screw came off then I had to start carrying in my pockets. Well.. that didn't go so well because every time I sat down it would slide out of my pocket.... Then 1 time out 20 times I forgot to check my seat before leaving and my beloved Kershaw became a new owner's proud treasure... and another owner and another as it slipped from pocket to pockets. lol.
 
Just ordered the benchmade griptilian SH20. Pretty excited about it. Plan on using it as an EDC. The steel used on this one is different than any other griptilian. Hopefully it holds an edge well. We shall see.

Yeah without the clip im sure I would have lost mine by now. Its a very slick knife. Always sliding down somewhere I cant reach lol.

How you like the full grip? I just ordered it so hopefully I like it. Im sure I will.
 
hehe, it was about 2 months before I relized I wanted the set. I use the full size now and then. Not really 'giant' once you hold it for a while. Some guys fill the hollow handles for a better feel. Mine came with a #5 Rescue Hook and belt shealth. I usualy pocket the Grip. Both practical work knives.
 
Choices, choices

Almost as bad as firearms, I have too many knives. My usual EDC is usually a Spyderco or Benchmade folder, with my Chris Reeve Sebenza being carried on "special occasions".

Most common EDC : Benchmade 806 AFCK or 710 McHenry & Williams

Post up some pics of your knives!
 
I've had a Kershaw Tactical Blur for about 2 years now and it's the best pocket knife I've ever had. Assisted opening is great, never had any problems with opening up in my pocket or anything. The angled blade comes in very handy for sawing very cleanly through rope and stuff. Strong blade for prying and "grip tape" style texture makes it easy to hold on to.

Kershaw's Ken Onion Scallion, I've been carrying them for years, never use the safety and never had one open in my pocket. The one handed operation and serrated blade are great for cutting braided fishing lines on a rocking boat.

i have the exact same knife except its a full length non serrated blade. Ridiculously sharp, love it to death. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another
 
This is what i carry

I really want the Benchmade Osborne Design Rift Knife, but its to much $$$$$
 
i have a gerber Legend that I use for daily stuff around work (i'm an aircraft mechanic, so the screwdriver stuff is handy for removing fairings and opening cans of oil and hyd fluid)

and my knife is a CRKT M16-14...i've had a couple over the years and I love em. Reasonably priced and they stay pretty sharp.

I've had a benchmade....i bend the clips on em too easily, so it kept falling out of my pocket....i lost one of my 100$ ones that way and after that I put them up
 
YA dude i like this knife, i used to have one and used it as my EDC but i think i lost it when i was at the movies a while back so replaced it with my benchmade mini-presidio.

Very old school Leatherman PST 2, seriously need to upgrade one day.
Knife, I always carry my DH leftovers, currently I have some huge fixed knife don't know the name just some SF knife that DH retired and said I needed to have in the car in case of.
Dog and I are in the woods every day and there is plenty of wild boar so that is why we always have that knife on us. But we have been lucky..the boar we did see got so startled at our sight they ran from me 115pounds and Beagle 30pounds:bravo: Or they crossed the path in front of us so fast Dog does not even have time to bark! We have been lucky but we are moving to Bavaria next so I am a little sheepish about that one.

I would love to get the Benchmade Infidel x2 one for me one for DH but I am waiting a bot till the price is down a bit. They are insanely priced.
DH always gets the really nice stuff due to job. Envy. It is freakish like Rambos house here when all the knives come out:)

But we have to be really careful, the German Government has even put Gerbers and Leatherman on their list of forbidden weapons so if you carry one and get caught you are in deep dog poop. And being in the military does not give you extra points....
 
Depending on the occasion, I either carry a Case Sod Buster Jr. or the Kershaw Vapor II I've had for 8 years... Both are very excellent knives!

Benchmade 834

1_711647f0f5418e328a4b29ddf8ccdaab.jpg


This was issued to me in '99 as my survival knife when I was still serving in the Coast Guard. This knife has been incredible and is still very sharp having never had to sharpen it myself. I would highly recommend Benchmade.
 
Benchmade Mini-Grip, $63 on Amazon just couldnt beat that. Ill probably end up getting a Mini-RSK to try out the mythical S30V sometime soon.
