Kershaw Blackout is my favorite edc knife hands down. That’s a lead competitor for my favorite, along with their Blur.Here is my new favorite. I don't like things in my pockets. They sell for less than $20 and are pretty much indestructible. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Os7thlm.png) I’m also a fan. One rides in the center console. FC

Never a shortage of Fudds to take up the liberal cause. Spartacus, prove your patriotism.... throw your Chinese communist computer out the fuggin window... Lets see what your really made of. Talk is so cheap......... BTW, Benchmade has put their precious name on Chinese made knives too...  I'll buy those too. Start listing them on the classifieds. Just as I will decide what I buy, I'll also decide what I sell, and who I sell it to. Sorry, you don't qualify. Try someone else.

Usually i carry a rat 2 everyday. Great beater knife that sharpens easily
The buck 110 slim models are nice. Cheaper ones have a plastic handle and 440c. Thinner than normal 110 The upscale version is micarta and s30v. Thumb studs for easy opening. Where are you finding new Bucks with 440C steel I’m wrong. 420hc.

Say you are going to buy a new knife, and Benchmade isn't an option...
What brand knives would you get? Benchmade did nothing wrong. I'd buy a Cold Steel. One of their non-stupid models w/ Tri-Ad lock which are always solid. If I wanted to get more expensive probably Spyderco, a lockback, I'd be looking at the Chinook, Police or Stretch. Don't care to spring for the high-end man jewelry and I don't like framelocks, liner locks... or most stuff that isn't some form of lockback, slipjoints excepted. In that case, it's GEC.

Kershaw, Gerber, Spyderco, Emerson. I always try to suggest American products first, but some people must always choose the cheapest item on the shelf, even when they can afford better. They have all served me well, and I have had half a dozen BMs, but no more... If this disgusting trend continues Americans won't even be able to buy a decent piece of steel like our emasculated cousins across the ponds. Companies that don't Respect the Constitution don't deserve to do business in America, It serves only as a way to wrest wealth from our People to support Anti-American principles.

If you don't mind, report back on that knife. Aside from looking like a quality piece, it looks like a nice set-up for insulated gloves.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

I just free hand sharpen on an oil stone or a quick touch on a diamond stick. Use mine for everything including stripping wire so I keep it sharp enough to shave hair but not hyper sharp.

That Recurve design is quite good, actually. A Ken Onion design, I believe.
