I’m on the snappy blade knives recently. If I use a utility knoife, it’s because I want a razor sharp blade, not pocket knoife brute force. I got down on the Jappo snap blades and it’s so damn easy to get a fresh edge.

All I have so far is 9mm, waiting to see if I feel the need for the 18mm or 25mm ones.

I've been carrying this Victorinox for a few years now. I really like the size and weight of it. It's got some useful tools on it, I really like the tweezers and toothpick.
My main issue is how difficult it is to clean. I work with a lot of dirt and sand so this thing gets pretty crusty and requires cleaning weekly. I'm surprised I've never seen someone complain about this aspect of victorinox knives. You really have to pry the scales off and drill out the pins? It's really goofy to me.

Literally this. I've lost a number of knives over the years. But I'm fairly certain I've NEVER lost one off my property. So therefore I find it really fucking strange a knife goes ''missing'' where I live, and never turns up again, even after years. I've never happened to find one some months later. That means somebody (women) have been fucking with my shit.

I carry a Victorinox tinker deluxe. I live in Sweden and our laws has just upped the ways to get charged for carrying a knife "wrong" and how severe those charges are. This means there are almost no people carrying knifes here.
But I have been carrying a SAK for years now and I can't understand why anyone would carry just a knife? Meaning a simple foldable knife with no other tools. I use the blade quite often on my SAK but its absolutely not the main tool.
Why do you carry such large knifes with so little utility?

ultrasonic cleaning could work. Its generally better for hard plastics and most thermoplastics. So since the scales are ABS you should be in the clear: https://sonicsolutionsltd.com/does-ultrasonic-cleaning-work-with-plastics/
if you are worried about damaging the scales you should be able to just pop them off and throw the rest in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Yeah, signal is pretty trash from my experience, better choice is wave for light multitool and surge for heavy multitool. As a signal owner I replaced whistle and sharpening rod for 3d printed bit storage. I wish they make signal as a larger multitool, something like Leatherman mut , hammer is nice but signal lack second blade and file. For outdoor use it's really bad

If you know martial arts, you will know that knives are not carried only for personal defense. People have other uses for them. It's true, they are mostly used to cut random things like boxes. Even if you just like carrying one, so be it. I'm sure everyone carries junk with them (extra cards, keys you never use, etc.).

My pest control guy is huge into custom knives. Can't think of too many great specific examples right now, but whenever he's around he's got some kind of $1k+ exotic bling in his pocket.

I have some reasonably nice stuff, Sebenza etc., but lately I've just been carrying a little Case most of the time.

I sure think it is. Rarely miss having a tip, but it does come up occasionally, so be warned (example, went to poke holes in a plastic tub I was putting worms in for bait, had to grab my other knife).

Why not just buy fucking Pliars? These multi-tools are only good as pliars, are shit as screwdrivers/knives/whatever. You are barely saving any weight having it be inside a chunky pliar anyway, just saving the weight vs a handle and rat-tail tang or whatever.

ACtually, I agree.
My tiny Leatherman Squirt with a small knife, scissors and tiny pliers does 99% of all I need it to.

>>
>>2588124
Surge and signal owner from previous post here. Also agree. And Leatherman pliers feels much less capable than normal tools. But I like multitools. I had many situations where I where I needed to use some specific tool once for a specific purpose and multitool is brilliant for that. Neeed to take out wood splinter, needle nose pliers act as twizzer, wheel nut in my rc car is loose, tighten it down with multitool, need to cut plastic straps or zip ties , serrated blade comes handy. And situation like that are constant for me. Of course when I need something for serious job I take normal tools and even then sometimes multitool work as backup for something I might forget.

>>2588041
Yeah, it's feels too light duty to rely on it. But maybe that was intentional, to mede it light that you can always carry it wherever you want and it's still can make fire or cut something even if your main tools went bad or missing

I have a benchmade hunt grizzly creek that sits in my dresser drawer, edc a kershaw cryo ll tanto on my farm, I don't care if I beat the shit out it, it's cheap.
>>
>>2588954
This is the retarded thing about knives, people are afraid to use the good ones even though they’re a better tool.

Glad I’m the opposite with real tools, I’d rather use the more expensive shit than bust a knuckle with a cheaper version. Like pic related, the one made in Germany is newer but way more worn. Only thing is you have to make a decision when the time comes to totally misuse and abuse the tool, but the upside is the good quality tool can often stand up to the misuse and abuse. And if the good one does get fucked, at least I got my $40 out of it over the years and I’ll spend another $40 instead of getting a shitty $10 version.
>>

hammer with bit driver on side is nice, i bought set of socket wrenches on aliexpress with 1/4inch end and it could be used as a wrench on the go. Wish they added second pair of outside tools, blade and file
>>
>>2588971
My edc gets abused, prying, digging into the dirt, cutting dirty/muddy rope, etc. The benchmade was a gift, and I can guarantee, I would've broken the tip off by now, and it would look and run like shit with what I have to put a knife through. If I just camped with it or only had to cut paracord, etc. I'd carry it, but I don't need a great knife for what I do, I need one I can easily replace at a decent price, that I can wash off in a sink and not have to worry about.

sometimes on the farm i use my knife as a pry tool as well as a blade. for that reason, I don't like to carry around my expensive one.

I carry the leatherman Juice. Its nice and small, very lightweight compared to something like the Wave or Surge. Its a non-threatening color so if I bring it out around random people they dont panic. Pliers and screwdriver are my most used tools, Only needed to use the knife like once in 4 months. Unless you specifically need it for a job I cant image carrying around a dedicated knife instead of a multitool

Gerber Paraframe I Knife, Serrated Edge, Stainless Steel [22-48443] https://a.co/d/dIxG9gd

>>2588971
I got over this fear with guns. My first gun ever was a HK USP, which albeit isn't the most expensive, it's far from being your typical Glock or Glock clone. After years of training with it and carrying it (and using it as a duty pistol for work) I've scratched that thing so much, mostly from repeated holster wear but sometimes from just dinging against other stuff.

This is why my Spydercos all have some nasty wear in them. I will use my best tools until it's time to replace them. I've noticed one hardly has to replace good tools. So cost shouldn't be an issue. The only way I wouldn't use a good tool, is if it's more on the collectors side of things. Like some one off limited edition run, but I tend not to buy such things since I'm not a collector at heart. I'm a user/doer.

I recently bought my first motorcycle and it's a brand new Royal Enfield. One of the cheapest bikes you can buy new but it's still $6000 and I was really afraid to ride it for the first couple of times because I was so afraid of dropping it. Thankfully this has worn off after 2 months (and still haven't dropped it)

Does this cheap AliExpress stones will be sufficient for sharpening for cpm s90v. Have that one with 1000, 3000, 6000, 8000 grit and they are ok for kitchen knives and cheap steels but don't know about cpm s90v. Did I have to buy diamond coated stones, AliExpress also have it for cheap

I’m sure it will work, but take awhile compared to diamond stones. Also who knows if the grits are really what they claim to be, they sell that generic kit all over Amazon too.

Given a $25 amazon gift card. Best EDC knife in that price range?
>>
>>2590923
Don't know if best, me dad got one of these for me many years ago, probably on some super sale for a few bucks. Only one sided carry, and I wasn't that impressed at first glance. It's optimized for engraving so probably sold in bulk for corporate gifts. Anyway, after using it for many years I've found it to be damn good for an inexpensive knife. I like it a lot and use the shit out of it.
>>
>>2590936
Yeah I realized after I posted that 'best' is very subjective considering use and styles but I'm new to this. Appreciate your suggestion

Ontario Rat 1/2 is near that price range.

for cheapies, my favorite was the Gerber Air Ranger III, but crkt makes decent stuff too. If you're not a knife fanatic, it's certainly a fine work horse. Just bring one of those folding diamond stones and you'll be all set for as long a time as you'd like.

i dont carry it a lot, the blade gets to thick for my taste. I used it a lot to cut up weed, did that great.
Pretty easy to sharpen it to razor sharpness on a stone/strop combo, which you have to do often because the steel is cheap.
Its basically a cheap knife and a fancy shank.

Have you heard of Cold Steel, Buck or Opinel? $35 will get you a nice knife. If you need a barometer for how much you should be spending on a tiny piece of sharpened steel: An Estwing hatchet only costs $40.

Use the sharp edge of the knoife and you get to sharpen you’re blade and start a fire at the same time!

Some people do take it too far where they want to carry every tool available to mankind on their body as if they need to MacGuyver a helicopter in case of a zombie outbreak.
Unironically, the knife I carry the most is from a Chinese company, the Civivi Elementum. It's like $50 bucks so if I lose it, no big deal yet it has a better build quality and QC than other western knife companies.
Speaking of overpriced blades, I recently had to return a $300 C90V Benchmade 940 Osborne because the lock would stop the knife midway through deployment. For such a 'respected' company and a premium pricetag, you would expect them to have good QC to avoid putting knives like this on the market.

-Thick blade
-Tanto
-Finger grooves
-That choil
-Thumb stud
-Handle texture
It's a sharpened prybar with hotspots, no belly, and no finesse. It looks as if it was designed by someone who imagines knives but has never actually carried and used one daily.
But again, that's just me. I would toss it in the trash, you might find it to be the perfect gem of a knife. And good for you. It's your knife, not mine.
