Let me start off by saying this:
If you hate/dislike daggers and/or spear-point's, this is not the thread for you. So please, add pics, information, personal experience, as you see fit, but trollers save yourself the time - we all know how great drop-points are. We all know that for many reasons, spear-points aren't all-too practical, and we all know the blade itself might not be as strong as whatever brick of a folder you have in your pocket - This thread is here simply for people who LIKE daggers & spear-points, and who might want to share theirs. It's simple, don't be a deuche.
With that being said, I recently picked up a Benchmade 176 SOCP Dagger, and a BM 530 (my new favorite EDC, and patrol pocket knife), and I have to say, I'm really liking these designs - for multiple reasons:
Benchmade 530 http://www.benchmade.com/products/530
- The slim blade width allows for s-c-a-r-y sharp slicing for regular (yes, I said regular - no hacking of tree branches) use.
- The slim ergos/scale profile makes it invisible on your person, and ultra light-weight (weighing in at only 1.88 ounces-say whaaat?
). I love to carry IWB, so this model is perfect (for me).
- I carry a blade for both, regular EDC uses (everything from cutting fruit/sandwiches at lunch, and opening stuff), and as a alternative self-defense measure (which the spear-point blade profile can come in super handy).
- The BM 530 is my absolute, favorite EDC. I know most love more robust/heftier folders (and I did before) but this knife is all I really need. I'm being realistic here.
- I've said it in the past, (and regret it now) that Grivory/Noryl GTX feels cheap. But to be quite honest, I only felt that way about the Grip series (Mostly because of the hollow sound on the larger grips due to the partial liners). The Grivory on the 530 does not feel cheap, and the material itself, is probably one of the most durable knife scale materials on the market.
- Hands down my new favorite EDC.

- THIS IS NOT A KNIFE IN THE PRACTICAL CUTTING SENSE, so trollers don't even bother.
- THIS IS PURELY A SELF-DEFENSE DAGGER.
- You can throw this guy in your boot, belt, backpack (molle applicable), tac vest, and any other LE/Military gear.
- There's already a ton of reviews & training vids for this dagger, so I'll spare all the redundancy, do the research if you like the looks of it
Here are the only daggers/spear-points in my collection (most of them are but a month old, so please spare the lack of wear, small penis comments LOL)
POST SOME PICS OF YOUR OWN DAGGERS/SPEAR-POINTS AND YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THEM! thanks
