What knife do you carry in your pocket?

[alf]

With all the talk about guns lately, we should not ignore the handy knife as a great tool that could also be used for self defense.

-Legal and easy to carry just about anywhere in the world
-Does a lot more than a pistol..open boxes, cut hot dogs, peel fruits...

Emerson CQC7s for me.

I have a little leatherman micra on my keyring



This lives in my desk and works as a letter opener for special letters. It's a commemorative knife for a friend on a gun and knife forum who passed away.



This one was a stocking filler a couple of days ago. I've carried it since I got it.


Before anyone asks, of course the last two are legal

I LOVE THE KERSHAW ALONG WITH MY SUREFIRE M6 COMBAT LIGHT

I collect knives so what I carry changes quite frequently, from old favourites to new toys.



Currently I'm switching between a Spyderco Poliwog and a Woodard pocket-pro


And I keep a Leatherman micra with my carkeys on a beltclip

Cutco Drop Point Hunting Knife

A little big for your pocket though...

Spyderco delica

Victorinox Swiss Army, not sure which model. In camoflage!

I have several different Benchmade Knives that I carry daily. Currently I'm carrying a Osbourne 960 in red. I prefer knives that don't have a serrated portion, but those are getting less common these days. Apparently everyone loves the serrated knives. I find that if they are kept sharp that a non serrated blade cuts better.



a Leopard cub


and AFCK


Mini Reflex


I've got a few more including an Emerson with the tanto blade like the one above, but I usually carry those pictured.

I'd really like to get an AFO, but at around $150 a pop for a pocket knife and so much other stuff to spend money on....

I carry cheap knives.
I'm a mechanic, and my knives tend to be abused and damaged.


1) A Pakistan POS folder that has one straight-razor type blade + a clip point blade. The straight-razor edge makes good for scraping gasket surfaces, and the clip point is good for poking stuff. Plastic "bone" handle inlays broke off early, so I replaced them with real wood.

2) Chinese automatic similar to that last Benchmade that masraum posted. CF handle, 440 blade. Not bad for a few $.

3) Folding utility knife. Not as multi-talented as the Pakistan folder, but has the advantage of using replaceable razor blades.

4) Small clip point "old timer." This is probably the nicest of my knives. I guess that's sad, in a way.

I also keep a knockoff leatherman in my truck glovebox.

Nothing fancy, Gerber 20 ultra light.

[Halm]

Boker with a 3" blade and titanium handle. Really feels good in the hand. In practical use it is more show than go.

[Tobra]

Leatherman always, but it is on my belt, not my pocket, does that count?

[BlueSkyJaunte]

I carry a little Victorinox "Swiss Army knife" on the keychain and a Gerber Legend on the belt.

I'm on the lookout for a folder "combat" knife with a reversible clip (I'm a lefty). Will probably end up with a Benchmade.

Leatherman Micra in my pocket - the scissors seem to be used more than the other features.

[Shuie]

Here are my tactical letter openers

[masraum]

Shuie, the Axis lock kicks butt, doesn't it? I used to carry my various liner locks, but since I got the 960 with the Axis lock it's pretty much the only thing that I carry.

[OffCamber00]

I too, carry a Benchmade.

[addictionMS]

[Shuie]

I like it. I didnt have it handy for the pic but I have the bigger version as well. The full size axis lock and the Emerson are too big for me to be able fit anything else in my pocket when I have them so they dont get used as much.
