knife crew, what are you carrying?

[spanky]

it appears as though i have permanently misplaced my lefty emerson commander so i need a replacement.

lefty is not an issue, per say. i'd prefer something with a wave feature.

Now you know why I sold my Emersons and went back to "economy" Spydercos... less pain when it inevitably grows legs.

Although, I'll confess to a recent yearning to re-acquire a CQC-7. My old Black T'ed Endura is really starting to show its age and hard use. I have a first-run Military, but that bad boy is really too big for casual pocket carry- it was designed as a field pocket blade for military troops wearing BDUs-, and the 440V steel is a real cast-iron beotch to get a good edge on (that's why the newer Militarys use S30V steel).

The problem with Spydercos is that they don't do well when used as a pry bar. They are primo general purpose knives... as long as all you're doing is cutting stuff. If you do a lot of prying, get a tanto-style blade with a chisel edge; more effort to sharpen/keep sharp, but an Emerson or heavy-duty BenchMade won't spring (over-torque) through the scales (handles) when you put a lot of side tension on the blade.

Give me a call; we'll order something together from The Knife Center and save on shipping.

P.S.: Joel, I haven't forgotten about your blade. Got forty bucks in my pocket with your name on it...

I didn't know you could buy left handed knifes. I've had mine in my right pocket for so long that I'm prolly 3 times faster with my right anyway.

 

[Paul Gomez]

anyone have a p'kal?

Of course.

We can meet for lunch next week if you want to take a look at one.

I know, I know. As a matter of fact i'm doing a job at the new coyote blues restaurant (Excellent place to eat btw) on acadian on Monday and Tuesday. I'll PM you Sunday night to confirm, but you could run by there anytime of day and i'll be there.


Oh and spanky, my vote is for a benchmade griptilian.

 

[melisa]

Cool.

Very cool!! It's really sharp and every time I pull it out Jeremy gets nerves.
