What knife do you carry?
 

Im looking for a new knife and the options are endless.
I like around a 3" blade folding knife, plain edge and the Ken Onions look pretty decent to me. Any recommendations?

Glock 27. :hihi:

I have an Aluminum Spyderco, had a few (lost) and they are easy to deal with as far as warranty etc...

What will you be using it for? Gutting fish and dear or home defense?:laughs:

I never bring a knife to a gun fight . I use a leatherman whan I need a knife to carry . used to be a switch blade till that was confiscated in Ny State .

some times a steak , a bread and other times a butter

Swiss army Knife in my pocket . The scissors work great on spectron. I also carried a nice filet knife in the truck (Schrade??) for two decades but not lately.

BMF:laughs:

I agree with weewee. But it is a glock22:D

Well missy, what do you use for fondue? tsk tsk tsk...

Just looking for a utility knife in the surf. The one I use now is beat and doesnt hold an edge for long

Fishing the canal some nights, I carry a Ka-Bar strapped to my leg - esp on Fri & Sat nights.

I have a Kershaw (Ken Onion) with the assisted opening. Very nice knife but not sure how it would hold up to repeated dunkings. As far as the Leathermans I have the wave and use it often. The only drawback is that the pliers lock up easily and need to be lubed often. Plus they have a 25 year guarantee. The knife blades can be opened one handed on it which is a great feature.

i carry the cheapo stainless blades/plastic handle ones that are like 5 bucks.. when they are dead I throw them away :huh:

If I knew what the heck fondue was . Id probably use a fondue knife or a spatula poopyspots ? skidmark for short

M16-3

I have the Leatherman Wave as well...and it is pretty much all I need, I keep a filet cheapy in the truck..And I do carry a decent sized one at the canal as well, ya just never know...I think for me at least, it is always wise to have a knife on ya while fishing. You just never know and it is better to be safe then sorry...Wading in the canal one night i got so tangled up in someones discarded line in the water that I just about took a dip. That is the last place you wanna fall into with your legs tied..not to mention, some of people down there, be it from the camp grounds or whatever that aren't so user friendly...:smokin:

I mainly fish the Canal and always bring 2 knives. I have/had a 3 1/2"folding Benchmade Tanto Seradded style but I aparently donated it to the Canal on my last outing.My second is a utillity/back up Buck Night hawk, it's a bit beefy but it's real nice to have on you.
I strap it on vertically on my wader suspenders it's allways there.


I like the Buck Intrepid with the 2 1/2" serated on top & half serated & strait blade on the main edge also with the Kydex sheath
I dunno if the Kaydex sheath is salt water proof.

Moose knuckle has A real nice selection the M16-3 & the Aviator is real nice.A close quarters combat knive.

It's expensive, but the Sog's Navy SEAL knife looks like it would hold up well. You can get it through Cabela's. If you don't like the looks of this knife, you should still got to thier web site, they have a decent and varied knife selection.

YUP...M&D's gott'em. Them knifes are indestructible. frozen pog's like butta.

The USN and USMC knifes I found to hold the best edge.... made of high grade steel.

Krispy, The one you show looks pretty good for surf utility. Able to open with one hand. You can rinse out sand/salt, oil and sharpen pretty easily. The only other thing I would make sure it has, is a small serated section near the fold. Twice this season I got hung up pretty good on some rope stuck between rocks with plugs I didn't want to lose (operator retreive error of course). The serated edge came in handy for going down, quickly sawing the hook out and getting back safely without getting pounded. My $0.02.

Krispy check out this site it has just about any kind of knive out there.Any where from top dollar to El Cheapo you choose.

Krispy. Rich carries one of these. it is a gerber river knife. not sure if that is the exact name, but do a search on ebay for "gerber river" and you'll find it. they sell for about $15 - $20. i am going to pick up a couple for the surf.

just curious.... why the heck are you guys bringing such big knives with you???? are you scared of the dark???:laughs:

Like Chris L said why bring a knife to a gun fight???


:D

:smash: i guess i am living a sheltered life in south county... maybe if I fish the breachways more i will come to apreciate a big knife.

Seriously though, I have had tons of knives. I have a real nice Buck nighhawk,and a folding Gerber LST magnum for deer hunting. I also have a Spyderco, the plastic clips always seem to snap off though. My favorite is the Benchmade Emerson that my brother in law got me one birthday. The thig went for around $125.00

thats a sweet one-

I guess if your a deer hunter it makes sense to have a sweet knife. Me, I have nice gear and then i have disposable gear... nice stuf being the important stuff... rods, reels, plugs... and disposable stuff being plyers, knives, scissors... stuff you can drop in the surf or rusts easily....

I had a SOG Navy Seal knife but I think our cleaning lady stole it...or I lost it...

What's a (non fillet) knife really good for anyway?

We don't have one anymore...they all suck.
