Pocket knives

[sunburned]

What pocket knives do you guys carry around? I currently have a Kershaw Leek that I found on the ground outside of a restaurant a few years ago. Great knife and I love the assisted opening but its dull as hell. Couldn't believe it when I found out it was a $60 knife. I havent really been carrying it lately because I just bought new suede Cobeau seats and I'm really worried the clip or thumb knob will rip the seat when its in my back pocket.

I want a new one now and since Kershaw quality seems to be really good and the assisted opening is badass, I'm probably gonna go with a similar knife, just a different blade style. This knife is about $60 as well, any other brands with similar features you guys recommend?

Have no need for knives. Carry a .45 instead.

I carry a Kershaw in my truck! Great knife!

I carry a multitool from Buck Knives. It's a lot more useful than just a plain old knife and comes in very handy.

Yeah, thats not a bad idea. My baja team leader had a Gerber multi tool and the thing was high quality. Might get one for the car, but I'd still like to have a dedicated knife for those random times when you need one.

I carry a Leatherman wave myself. I love it.

Sharpen the knife you have. The Kershaw is an excellent knife and will hold a good edge for awhile. Yours must have been used (or abused) alot to be dull. But if you really feel you need a new knife, Kershaw, Buck, Gerber, Case are all great knives along with several other brands I can't think of off the top of my head.

For the money I like the Kershaw Blackout. Its a little bigger/thicker than the two you show but I find it a LOT easier to handle.

My buddy just got a SOG Trident, it's bad ass.

Do any other companies have the index finger 'assisted' opening? Not too keen on opening with my thumb, but the quick flip is great.

I also carry a Kershaw ken onion, The assisted opening is awesome! I have a chive, which I use for box opening duty.

If you want to spend a bit more money and get something a bit more bad ass, you can't go wrong with an Emerson. They have arguably the best blade metal out there right now which is s30v stainless steel which holds a scary sharp edge for a hell of a long time. One of my other hobbies is that I collect tactical knives most of which are folders.

Here's one of my many Emersons that I used to carry every day...

That's a higher end folder though, you'd probably be better off with an Emerson mini Commander or CQC-7, they are perfect for every day carry duties.

I have an old Kershaw Ken Onion Blackout .... It has been a good knife and it looks like the price on it now is much lower. Makes me want to get another one just like it.
