Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Favorite pocket knife?

Bugout for me.

Most often in my pocket is my Benchmade Mini-Grip with the AWT honeycomb aluminum scales, or a ZT 0562 in Thunderstruck micarta. If I want a traditional then I have a GEC 92 with single blade spear in ebony or a EZ open 85 in smooth bone.

Buck 442 or a stainless Opinel #9

My favorite I will not carry. It's a Lake Tail lock copy . I usually carry a Civivi Rustic.






Lake

SAK Walker or #6 Opinel but I'm not above dropping my Becker BK-11 my front right pocket

PM2 is one of the best. other bests in my book:

benchmade bugout
RAT 2
spyderco delica
spyderco PM3

for pocket swords, i like the endura and the full-blown military

honorable mention to kershaw leek and scallion

knife that i carry the most is the dragonfly 2. they are amazing cutters for the size

Just bought a Spyderco PM2 two weeks ago.
Most $$ I ever spent on a knife, but it's something I carry every day.
Also bought a deep carry titanium clip from LynchNW.

Be advised, there are vendors on Amazon selling Chinese knock-offs. YouTube has several videos showing how to tell real from bogus.

I used my PM2 recently to skin, and take the backstraps and both rear quarters off an eating size wild hog in the field for backpacking out. Worked like a champ and put the meat from that 125 pound sow in a game bag with zero issues.

ive watched the videos, there are some scary good clones out there. better to buy from a reputable seller.

Got this a few years ago from my wife for Christmas. Madison barlow by Northwoods (GEC).

Western #693 liner lock. My all time favorite pocket knife. For something a little smaller, a schrade 194ot liner lock works to.

4 inch stockman with bone handle scales by BOKER. - Sherwood

Bought two different Benchmade's and loved the mechanism on them. Tough blades but problematic for me to sharpen when needing it. Gave one to SIL who promptly lost it and I finally lost my own. Replaced it with a USA made Ken Onion Kershaw Scallion model. Had it for years and love it. The clip keeps it comfortable in the pocket,. Easy to keep sharp. and opens fast.

I sometimes carry in the change pocket too- and when I do it is a bone Case mini - trapper. Good blade and right size. Like Case knives.

Have switched up last few months after carrying a benchmade 710 for a dozen years. Lately the R2 D2 Rat is getting all the attention. It just flat works for what I need a knife for.

Been carrying a Case medium stockman for 40 years. Not the same one.....I'm waiting for the ones I've planted to germinate and grow.

A Reese Bose 3 1/2” single blade trapper. Got a few more from Reese but the trapper is about the best for general use.
