Knives
 

So some don't pack real knives, others pack them just to look cool :D, others are part of the look of their kit, and others are for animal defense/survival.

I just found this in the local pawn shop for $5.

It's an Ontario Air Force Survival Knife, 1-86. Beat up but still a good knife!

So what knives do you like for gear wise?

i carry around my grandfathers issue knife from WW2 most days, beat up as all hell, but the blade still holds an edge

at games I carry a Benchmade 14440 Ally

just in case, or else I'd carry my ZT350 or my 5" fixed

I have the same knife as in your pic. I love it, but with the window punch on the back i find myself cutting my finger on it when i have it in my pocket.

Usually, when I go camping, actually, extreme camping ! I carry a 20" machete and a 6.5" combat knife, the machete to cut wood, etc. and the knife for personnal defense or preparing fish/meat.

I sometimes also carry the old .38 special, but that's when we go a little farter than civilisation and where bears are SOMETIMES seen !

I switched from my front right pocket to my back right pocket for EDC. At games I just carry it in the extra pistol mag pouch that I have on front of my drop leg holster. It is easily accessible there and is very lightweight, altough I
doubt I'd be punching windows anytime soon at games ... :)

Has a saw blade and the Seal Pup Blade

I used to carry it with me at work. I always had it my front pocket but i didnt normally have anything in that pocket. However when i did put stuff in their or put my hand in the pocket i forgot about the window punch lol. I dont carry it at games

Checked out some Benchmade and Spyderco at the SHOT Show. Also got to meet Chris Reeve. I particularly liked the German made Boker from Solingen. SOG had a funny knive they just called DEMO. We asked the guy what it was called and he just said DEMO.

I EDC a Spyderco Endura Emerson Wave or Cold Steel Voyager Tanto (Gunsight Ranch Edition), Leatherman Wave, and a teeny-tiny Swiss Army Knife that belonged to my grandfather.

During games, I carry the Spyderco and a Next Gen Kabar in stainless.

I also happen to have a Cold Steel Trail Hawk tomahawk, which I may try carrying with my WWII gear this coming season.

I carry a Kill-A-Watt all day at work, as well as a Klein lineman's skinner and an Olfa knife. My truck always has a Kershaw multi-tool (best one I've ever had) and a CRKT M16-14DSFG.

My 1911 holster (Safariland) has an Hissatsu bolted onto it.

I have dozens of other knives of different utility and quality all over the damn house.

i would like a BESH knife and surplus american bayonet for the garand?

Right now it's a rotation between : Stretch II, Native III or Delica IV... sometimes the Ontario RAT-1

Kershaw Cyclone for EDC.
Cold Steel Recon Tanto for work.
Old school machete for backwoods.

I carry a CRKT m16 zytel all the time
in the bush i carry a SOG Team Leader Survivor

I rotate my EDC among several folders... lately I've been carrying a Spyderco Native:

but I'm also very fond of my Kershaw Groove b/c I love the flipper action:

I carry with me a Gerber power frame. It's comfortable, easy to use, and cheap.

Works for me.

Zero Tolerance ZT0100, ESEE-5, Kershaw JYD II comp., ESEE-Izula, Ontario RTAK II, and a custom FHM(Filipino Hand-Made) Janap.

Awesome tools, let me tell ya.

how many knife threads do we need?

anyway. I chose this over the crkt:

loving it.

I think the original intent of the OP for this thread wasn't EDC, but what do you carry in-game...

'Cause I sure don't EDC a Kabar.





Although I did for a while, come to think of it. :D

That is my EDC for the past 6 years,

have a larger parkerized version with a serrated half edge for field carry

In game... a selection of Cold Steel rubber knives ,

Oh...


Well Carrying real knives onto the field is up to the impression one is doing I suppose. Just remember, unless your cutting some rope or something keep that shit in it's sheath.

I can remember two very real very stupid instances where tempers flared and real knives came out over airsoft bullshit.

although... I'm really liking this kershaw groove!! (the sleek handle of the leek can be slippery)

anyway.. not to derail.. cold steel rubber knives in game. can't slash my friends with real knives.

camping and uh... otw? looking for one good survival knife...

Just curious on the Cold Steel as I haven't been able to find any documentation on this knife. It was willed to me from my brother so I've had it for nearly 11 years. I know it's an old knife, so my question ....... is the built in plastic clip on the back of yours worn out? Mine is not as tight as it used to be and I find it falls off easy at times, and have dropped it outside my truck allot. I've just recently went to a pouch for it, but the pouch I have is a belt loop with NO snap on it. I hate the idea of having to undo my belt to take the pouch off. My EDC light has a pouch with a snap belt loop so that i can take off the light pouch without removing my belt.

What are your thought on this? Very nice knife BTW. I like mine.

DThe Gunsight edition I have now is my second one, sent by Cold Steel as a warranty replacement, after my original, plastic-clipped model broke. I was driving a van, and the lap portion of the seatbelt slid between the clip and my jeans, and was caught when I got out and snapped the clip clean off. Never a problem with the metal clip, though.
