In pocket right now is a Benchmade Ares Green/black M390 steel #65 of 120. I sold off several dozen NIB Benchmades, I only have six or so now. I have carried quite a variety, except a 50,000.00 Ron Best.

Enjoy any of the different Emerson's. Some are smaller models but nothing from the "super" series. Though they are a bit on the heavy side, they still carry
well clipped to the pocket!

Had been carrying a SOG Aegis mini but just upgraded to a new Benchmade mini griptilian 556-1.
Lately it's been the CRKT Crawford/Kasper.
I have as a many knives as I have lights but my favorites are minigrips. Up to #4 and counting! really the perfect EDC knife

I currently have a Fox 599 Karambit, LowVz by Colonel Blades and a Fox Citizen
todays EDC is the black micarta Mcusta Tactility. Love it. Came scalpel sharp
Benchmade 940 and 3" xm-18 are my goto edc's.
Spyderco Endura 4 with saber-grind blade and black FRN handle scales. I prefer the more robust tip of the saber-ground blade, even though I kinda miss the slicing performance of the full flat grind (my other Spyderco, a Tenacious, has a full flat grind). I especially appreciate that it's fully steel-lined, which to me is important on a big folder because it'll be used pretty hard.
Ka-Bar Becker-Necker BK11. While the Endura 4 is my primary EDC knife, my job is an outdoor one so for work, I carry a small fixed-blade as well. I've actually had to chop through a 2.5-3" log with it once and while it took eternity, the BK11 came out still sharp as heck. I have other fixed-blades but I carry the BK11 as it is the only one that fits in my EDC bag (Nitecore NDP10).
If multi-tool blades are included, then it's four including the two blades on my Leatherman Surge.
I've got some older Leatherman's that I've lost track of, but my current EDC is only a Victorinox Swiss Army "Classic SD" pocket knife...
yeah, it's certainly not much of a knife, but I always have it with me since it's on my keychain.
I'm looking to upgrade to something more substantial though.
These days, it's a GEC Bullnose, a sodbuster pattern.![]()
Hi.
New to this forum. Mainly came for torches.
But old hand with knives (75 yrs young.)
Have actually folded and forged a coupla blades myself. 50 yrs ago.
Using old Reo Rods.
Best skinners I ever made though, were the Workshop Power HackSaw blades
Break off a length around 8in long. Slow grind a hilt, blade profile on it.
Then Hand\foot wheel an edge onto blade. Slow but satisfying.
Several hilts. two were epoxy'd on, blackwood slabs.
one was a piece of Jarrah. slabs are Beautiful timber when oiled.
They took a long time to form good skinning edge. 4 in ish blade edge.
but would do 1 and 1\2 buffalo b4 needing a steel.(Australian, Eastern water Buff's)
Start with knives. peel off mainly with truck. Look them up. we were paid to cull them.
EX German military MAUSER Long action
Home built with 28in floater barrel 30-06 220 grn. Full load. bounced off the head boss like pellets.
Either Side on with them. or 300win mag. Minimum.
My '74 RUGER No 1 Was nice to shoot. But I had to fully float barrel from fore stock
and file sear. to get any real accuracy.
An old Kahles 4 x Moving Reticle, Elephant scope on top finished it off nicely.
Normal carry knife. for last over 40 rs. has been a Deluxe. Martiini.
Fixed blade with Moulded handle.
Takes and holds a good edge with no rust.
Folded steel 3 way Laminate, or cut out sheet. Swedish (Finland) steel. 1960's alloy.
Small game and pocket.
Puma Prince. Is nice steel but a little "pointy'. Watch for nicking skins,
but good to cut up beasts to small deer size.
Also have a nice little Custom Crossman 934A skinner. (1984)
Perfect for foxes and smallish game. Does hold a good edge for working.
Well Balanced.
Job doing, Really, leads to knife carried.
IN pocket is usually a 3 in blade SOG folder.
soft steel but useful for anything on a daily basis.
Spyderco Endura 4
Spyderco native fully serrated or spyderco native 5 plain edge.
Might have found the best EDC knife for me.
ESEE designed Zancuda. Opens lightening fast. Good solid lock that is good and stiff. Got it set up for tip-up carry.

I don't edc a knife but when I do carry one I find the sak are best for me. Practical, not expensive, and won't raise an eyebrow (except for tsa). For certain tasks I have others I take but if I had to choose just one, sak.
My EDC blades in rotation are Microtech Ultratech, Benchmade Auto Stryker, Benchmade Griptillian and a CRK Sebenza, with theSebenza being my favorite. My primary EDC lights in rotation are a Streamlight ProTac 2AA, Fenix LD-22 and a Malkoff MDC 2AA, with the Streamlight being my favorite. Other trinkets include Leatherman Wave, a Victorinox SAK keychain and one of those cheap blue Pentel drafting pencils.
