pocket knife guys

ClockwrkOrangeS4 · 01-11-2007, 11:42 PM

I need another pocket knife for work. I had a S&W S.W.A.T like this

but I lost it.

Anyone have a suggestion on a decent knife that's similar to that or is that a pretty good one for the price? I really don't want to spend more than $60 on one if I don't have to. A friend of mine told me Spyderco makes good knives but other than that, and the one I had, I don't know much.

Thanks

90dfw · 01-11-2007, 11:45 PM

I have some BENCHMADES..IMO they are the best knives to carry. I carry one with me no matter where I am.
You should be able to find a griptillian on ebay for around $60..

97blkpny · 01-11-2007, 11:47 PM

I am a big fan of Kershaw knives. They have really good blades and most of them are reasonably priced.

GTPhreak · 01-11-2007, 11:48 PM

I have been carrying a Spyderco Delica 4. Its pretty decent for the price

ugly88gt · 01-11-2007, 11:54 PM

I had a issue with one of my benchmades a cpl of months ago..One of the Screws that holds the belt clip kept loosening up so I sent it in.A week later I had it back,With a New clip,All new screws,The blade had been repolished and laser sharpened,and they sent me a bottle of oil for it.
I really like mine.I've dropped it in acid and didnt realize it till it had messed the blade up real bad.Sent that one in for an estimate on how much to fix.Got it back with a new blade...

FatassLX · 01-12-2007, 02:39 AM

i've been carrying a buck lately. the "tempest" model, its an assisted opener with a 3.25" blade, pretty bad ass knife for the money. i carry either that or a s&w 24/7 or a larger s&w swat with a tanto blade.

DON SVO · 01-12-2007, 03:08 AM

a kershaw just like i have...

ThreeFingerPete · 01-12-2007, 03:36 AM

Cold Steel Voyager, pick your size. One of the best working knives I've ever had the pleasure of owning. You should be able to pick one up for 45-50$ if you look the right place.

Benchmade's cheaper stuff isn't winning me over, but kershaw has some nice enough stuff. Spyderco makes a good knife, but the blades are brittle, so if you abuse it, it will break. CRKT is crap.

GE · 01-12-2007, 03:46 AM

I loved my Spyderco and carried it everywhere for 7 years, until some fuckstick Nazi bouncers confiscated it at a club in NYC.

BlackSnake1996 · 01-12-2007, 06:29 AM

Great for work. No need for sharpening. Just change the blade. Also guts in seconds.

Chopped54 · 01-12-2007, 06:56 AM

I have this Benchmade Balisong but dont carry it much.

I carry my Kershaw all the time.

Have that Kershaw and also the straight blade model too. I removed the belt clip, undid the pivot screw, added a drop of loctite, then readjusted it to the tension I wanted at opening. Best knives I've ever carried (I've lost 2 through the years).

Had the same thing happen with mine and they mailed me the parts.

Denny · 01-12-2007, 07:51 AM

I had a titanium SOG like this. It was stolen from me while I was in Iraq, but it was the best knife I've ever had.

Now, I have a stainless Winchester Engage like this, but the metal grip.

It's a good knife for under $40, but I'll be going back to the SOG. The SOG costs around $100-$120, though.

R1Psycho · 01-12-2007, 08:03 AM

I carry a SOG Flash 2. It is light and keeps a good edge.

jammeejamm · 01-12-2007, 08:36 AM

I have a few SOGs myself. great knives. i too have an x-ray vision.

Jester · 01-12-2007, 08:40 AM

You can't go wrong with a good Benchmade, Spyderco, or Kershaw. All of them are very good knives that hold an edge well and take some serious abuse.

I carry a Benchmade 440C and absolutely love it. My favorite knife ever was this spyderco:

me too. For about $20 or $30 you can get a decent one at academy, they stay sharp and hold up.

I used to carry a Vapor II but lost it in a bar fight somewhere, so I got the smaller Vapor.

The Big Matt · 01-12-2007, 10:59 AM

I have the Kershaw Boosted posted, as well as one Chopped54 posted.

Along with several others, but Kershaw has been my favorite so far...

99SVTour · 01-12-2007, 11:03 AM

Maybe I'm just cheap

I've been carrying the same Gerber for 11 years and have never had any problems with it and I've put it through hell. I dont even go swimming without it in my pocket.

97blkpny · 01-12-2007, 11:11 AM

That is the one I carry, it is a damn good knive, got it as a Groomsman gift at a friends wedding, much better than the mug with your initials on it like you usually get.

can't go wrong with any of the Ken Onion models in the Kershaw line, im a big fan of Columbia River as well.

That last sentence doesn't lend you much credibility in my book. CRKT uses crap steel, and the construction methods are sub par, in my book... I'd take a spyderco, cold steel, kershaw over another CRKT of comparable price any day of the week. Ask me about my piece of shit G10 handled "fireman" model m16.

those things are so akward, tons of guys I used to work with carried them... I just used a regular box cutter... when I needed a blade, flick I had one... they were always fumbling w/ those things trying to get them open. I know, I had one and gave it away after a week.

Casper · 01-12-2007, 04:19 PM

I never had problems. I was always breaking box cutters when cutting caulk, these give you a good handle and leverage. But this is doing work at home, which is a litttle different.

evil jose · 01-12-2007, 04:37 PM

I've owned many knives over the years and carry one on me frequently for places I can't use my CHL. Over the past ten years I've found myself carrying either an Emerson/Benchmade or a Spyderco. I've probably spent a small sum of money on knives because I like to own a quality blade and every so often I lose one of them

My two current knives.

Spyderco Enduro

Emerson Commander

Side by side

The Commander is a serious knife compared to the Spyderco. Both knives have Emerson's proprietary Wave feature (check out the hook on the blade) which is pretty cool.

I have that same exact knife. I will sell it to you if you want.

FireMedic331 · 01-12-2007, 05:52 PM

Is that designed like the emeson Karombit. The "wave" catches on your pocket and opens the blade for you when you pull it out?

Buick355 · 01-12-2007, 05:54 PM

I have something similar to this:

I dont see the specific S&W that I have on the site. I use it every day at work and it does the job well. The one pictured above is only $25 on the Smith and Wesson site.

You won't be dissapointed, for up close and personal, you can inflict some serious damage. That's what I like about the KO LEEK, it's sleek and you forget it's there. Now thae SpyCoC-11SS is my baby, though I have abused that poor thing over the years...'H'
