My rotation is two Kershaws and a Leatherman Wave.

The Kershaws are basically interchangeable, and the Leatherman get worn when I’m working on projects (or might be).

It's amazing how sharp the blades are in the Leatherman tools. Every time I use one I'm always impressed by it. Top notch for sure. Love my Wave for work, but I'm not sure why they designed the holster the way they did, it could be much better.

I EDC this Gerber Paraframe that is also part of my Ultralight Backpacking Kit. It’s only 2.6 ounces.

There’s a bunch of holsters on Amazon, including kydex.

I’m gonna give one a try, the leather holster it came with is getting ragged and I agree, it’s not that great.

Just having a hard time finding a kydex holster that will fit a 2” belt…

Ok, so after this thread, I decided it was time to get new EDC knife, so I bought a small Kershaw (RJ Tactical 3.0) yesterday to carry in-pocket.

I bought the other knife because it looked cool, and was only $12. I don't know anything about the Wartech brand of knives.

Bought this after the last discussion we had on knives. Great knife around $32.00. The blade holds a pretty good edge even with some abuse.

I've been buying these Kershaw knifes for several years, perfect design for my needs. I have Kershaw Lazer etch our company logo on the blades.

View attachment 1180368 Ontario Rat 1. Sharp as hell, durable and cheap.

I want to retire my Ontario to weekend beater knife.

What’s a good sub $100 knife. I would go nicer but I know sooner or later I will use it to pry or hammer something and fuck it up lol.

 

[BigAl96]

I have a fairly large assortment, My normal carry varies between one of several zero tolerance knives, a benchmade adamas or a spyderco slysz bowie. I never pry or use them as a screwdriver but the performance when used for what a knife is fantastic and its nice knowing I can cut just about anything needed on a daily basis. the fidget factor is a big consideration for me so I tend to lean towards flippers

I bought a cheap milwaukee razor blade knife a while ago, and have now carried one every day for about 5 years or so. Cheap enough to not GAF if i lose it but so cheap that i never lose it. I think im on my 3rd one, the 2nd was only retired because the clip fatigued and broke. ive literally never considered upgrading until seeing this thread….

I used one of those for EDC for several years. I liked it, but I went back to a knife because that was too heavy when wearing loose shorts. I got tired of it banging against my leg. LOL.

You're welcome... Edc and used extensively for the last 6-7 yrs. The pivots wear out about 9months in if used enough, but are still very useable
Gerber Gear EAB Lite Pocket Knife with Money Clip - 1.5" Blade Length Folding EDC Knife - Stainless Steel https://a.co/d/afczYTP

I have seen them at Home Depot in the past, but not frequently.

 

[Rajobigguy]

Not necessarily my favorite knife but my Gerber 3.5’ spring assist is clipped in my hip pocket almost everyday. Super easy one hand open and close, holds a nice edge and stands up to all the daily abuse that I put it through.

 

[hman442]

My daily "carry" is a Kershaw Launch 7500blk. Blade is 1.9" so it's "legal" according to the ad. I remove to pocket clip & drill a hole in the end to make it my "keychain" for my daily use keys. Weekend/vacation knife when I don't need this keys is this Boker Kalishnakov. It's a

3.25 blade. I remove the clip from it as well, so it slides in the pocket with ease.

Picked this up for my brother for Christmas last year. Liked the cleaver look. He seems happy with it he’s got a bunch of knife so tried to find something a little different.

These things are cool. Deejo. You design it online in minutes, pick your wood, this one is Juniper, which I think is cool, as Juniper, I'm told, only grows a few places in the world, and one of those places I'm sitting in the middle of. Then you pick a design , they call them tattoos. You can have a name or message engraved, black or polished blade, etc. I have several, and have sent some as gifts as well.
