Think I'm going to start carrying a knife on my persons. Looking to spend ~$50. Currently I'm feeling this easy to cary/conceal knife.

Opinions/suggestions?

Kershaw makes quality and reliable blades

[Buegie]

I carry this...I guess it's not light compared to that one^ but I think the fact that it is so fast/easy to open one-handed is more important than a few extra grams

Do you seriously think you will be able to pull a knife on someone if they try to do something to you? Injuring someone with a knife means you have to be very close to them, if you think you are comfortable doing that then you've got more balls than 99% of people.

a) Ive cut the yop of a cadavers scull off with a bone saw and pulled his brain out. Im not scared of blood and guts.

b) If I were too pull it, it would only be to use it, and if im going to need to use it its me or him.

if that is his intention, he should be more concerned about the consequences of stabbing someone (even for self-defense). do you have to walk through a bad area often OP?

So you are very confident with your abilities in getting close enough to cut them?

No one is running up to anyone with a knife (I hope). If you have the option, the safest thing to do is probably retreat. However if somebody is already next to me I would at least like the option of a weapon

get a gun pussy

[Feyd]

Stainless Spyderco Cricket, but get the one with the serrated edge... as far as I'm concerned - /thread.



Small, simple, classy, sharp as all fuck... and it has a pocket clip for easy access so you aren't fumbling for it if you need it (someone jumps you) and it's super easy to open/close with one hand.

The reverse hook on the end is insanely awesome for opening up boxes (you'll literally wonder where it's been all your life)... and as a side affect it seems to have a nice shock and awe feel when you pop it open in mixed company.



Been carrying mine for 5+ years now and it hasn't failed me once.

Exactly. I dont fight with strangers. I dont instigate shit. But if I have some drunken retarded Arizonian in my face talking shit with a glock strapped to his belt I want to know that I have the option to attempt put one in his carotid before he pops one off if it goes down like that.

Haha. Jussss trollin'

I could see a knife being used against you pretty quickly in a fight.. Idk.

Still better than nothing though.

Thats what I figure. Half the battle is having the balls to protect your self and the other half is knowing there to put it to stop anything further from happening.

I really like Benchmade knives. Strider also makes some very cool blades.

Here is what I carry every day (yes, all 3 at the same time.....)
Benchmade Rukus (main defensive knife, it's huge!)
http://www.benchmade.com/products/mo....asp?model=610

Benchmade Pardue 503 (general use, every day cutting)
http://www.benchmade.com/products/mo....asp?model=530

Leatherman Side Clip (general use utility tool)


Some previous EDC knives were Al Mar SERE2000, Emerson CQC7, SypderCo Dragonfly, and a few more I've forgotten about...

If you don't want to spend a ton of money on knives, look to SypderCo or CRKT.

Beat them at racewars with your N54

[Freakazoid]

if you're looking at buying a knife, do you *actually* know how to use it? If not, I'd strongly suggest it...and if you're going for 'protection' get a gun.

Pulling a knife in defense and not knowing how to wield it can you get killed/seriously hurt. (obviously the same thing can happen with a gun, but would be thieves are much less afraid of knives). I know too many people that carry knives that have absolutely no idea how to use them.

Just my 2 cents

Yes, I know how to wield a blade.

Oh knives. I like knives.

I have several knives all for different purposes.

I keep a Buck knife in my car at all times, in the center area behind gear change. It's sharp as all hell and feels nice in my hand. Has a lot of meaning behind it too.

In my car I also sometimes keep a 7-8" sheathed knife. It's good for doing somethings outside, and a nice tool.

I also have several knives I can take as personal. A SWAT [american made] that is pretty hefty, but a nice solid knife. I love Kershaw, I also have a small sheathed knife with a paracord wrapped handle. It's got a good blade and nice as a survival knife.
