Knives - EDCs - multi tools - blades talk thread

mrmike08075
What do you have - what do you like - what do you collect - do you make your own - cheap every day use utility tools versus expensive collectables or narrow focus specialty use pieces - fixed blade or folders - new or used or vintage or new (time period preference)...

Heck even bayonets and multi tools - what ever floats your boat - share a little with us - let's talk about it.



I grew up loving the SMKW catalog and always liked having affordable lower end to moderate cost / quality pocket knives around - usually smaller EDC folders with pocket clips

However I do like:

Gil hibben throwers (the smaller single edge monolithic one piece naked design with the nice quality leather sheath)

Benchmade EDC folders - I have 2 older "piledriver" marked variants

Al Mar fixed blade hunters or mil spec designs (I have 2 from the late 70's)

Cricket - I like their brand - I have several folders and some fixed obakes

I like my multi tools as well

    I just treated myself to a Leatherman Wave.
    Not sure why, but I wanted one.

    My daily carry is my Victronox Recruit model. My hunting/survival/camping/fighting knife is my Swamp Rat Rodent 6, I also have a Scharade White Water Rafter...mine is one from back when Scharade was a US Company and built here. Mine has outlasted a large number of the Chinese produced ones.

    Multi Tools I like the Gerber old style:

    Like this one:
    Pinchy_Plier.jpg

    I remember when these 1st came out. I was a Ranger Instructor at the Mountain Phase of Ranger school in Dahlonega Ga.

    Every Ranger student had one or two and most lost them by the 4 th day of the patrolling phase.

    I bet I picked up 200 of them in the 3 years I was an RI and have never bought one(I never gave anything back to a Student who lost something unless it was important or mission essential, they need to learn to keep up with their equipment).

    I gave many away and kept about 20 of them. I still have a bunch in several different styles.

    I like the old Gerber over the Leatherman but both are good.

    When I was still in and I was deployed I carried 3 knives, and one was always a Gerber Multi tool.

    Prefer the leatherman because when open, using the pliers, the handles are in an "open V", the Gerber as shown in the picture will "pinch the heck" out of your palm. When you are really clamping down and the Gerber "slips" the handles come together and PINCH a piece of skin on your palm. OUCH, OUCH, OUCH with a blood blister.

    Only happened once and into the drawer it went. Other than that, it's OK.[:D]
