Looking for an edc pocket knife

[wired]

Been carrying a Buck 110 Auto Elite for years. Great knife.

Almost bought the benchmade infidel due to the name alone, went with a Microtech Ultratech in the end and I'm very happy with it, I've also been known to be handy with a pencil before

Kershaw Leak.. great knife and made in the USA

Kershaw, also in Oregon, has a walk in knife repair & sharpening service. It's free for most issues.

Damn that's refreshing. Leatherman doesn't even have a place a customer can walk into anymore. Sure different than how they used to be.

I just bought a new knife. My last one finally broke one time too many. I like OTF style of knife was always easier to open/close when I was working, plus I prefer a clip for my pants pocket. I used mine alot so a folder in the bottom of my pocket was a pain for me

I bought another Cobratech. Bought the first one for $160 at the Sportsman Show about 20 years ago. Cobratech is located here in Texas up near Waco. Bought mine through a LGS and paid $100. Plus they have a forever warranty on them. www.cobratech.com

I saw a 6"?/7"? Faieburne-Sykes knife with leather handle on amazon. That would be a cool toy. If you know how to use it, it could be more.

I wonder if that guy that taught the commandos (fairburn I assume?) has a book of his techniques online, that would be a cool skill to learn. @Andy54Hawken probably knows if such a book exists. I have no clue. The knife keeps coming up in the medieval weapons YouTube guy who reviews old weapons as a comparison. That's what made me think of it.

Here's the YouTube guy talking about stilettos. He mentions the Fairbairn-Sykes knife numerous times.

my $30 kershaw does everything the $400 knives do. I think you are stupid for paying that much. so there!

 

[WAYNO]

Kershaw imports a lot of knives. I would question a 30 dollar Kershaw as opposed their American made models.
Just a question.

One for opening boxes.
One for IF and ONLY IF sh!t ever hits the fan.

It is a Ken Onion Vapor model, made overseas? Don't care, it does what I want it to do.

$400 knives are kinda like big ol jacked up trucks, compensating for something. Just my humble opinion! Lol

A quality knife will outlast you. If it has plastic anywhere its not a quality knife.

So you only buy Hi-Point firearms?

Same thing could probably be said about many guns. I have long said if I was to hit the lotto I would have to have at least one really high end 1911. One of the ones that run 10K or so. I doubt it would do anything "better" than the two I have now that if new would be less than 1K. Still would be fun to have if I had that kind of money. Until someone just had to go and tell me WA had decided to allow us to own auto knives again I had a handful of China made blades. Some for general use, some for EDC as backup. Now I have a handful that run 2-3 hundred each. They are US made and VERY well made though. So I suspect they will outlast me, at least they better for what I paid

I think you may have meant Hi-Point?
