Folder with D2 blade

[akadave2]

I dont currently have any D2 bladed knives. I would like to test the steel out and would like an EDC to do that. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Start with the BM 710D2. It's priced right and works very well.

The Kershaw Leek with the composite blade is less expensive IIRC, so you might want to consider that one too.

Start with the BM 710D2. It's priced right and works very well.

+1

Get the 710.

I'm very happy with the ones I have :thumbup:

If you want relatively heavy duty, you can't go wrong with the BM 710 (every knife nut should have at least one of these anyway, regardless of steel).

for a little cheaper option, the Ka-Bar Dozier Thorn is a great little light duty knife with a D2 blade, and I think you can find them around for about $50 bucks now.

Kershaw Composite Leek, Composite Junkyard Dog II, or Tyrade.

All three are great knives and different enough that there should be something to suit your taste and budget.

+1 on the D2 Paramilitary. Outstanding knife in every way!

Cabelas D2 Griptilian!!!!!!!

I have some experience with D2

I have the Benchmade Cabela mini Grip D2
and these badboys

Personally, I would start with either the CB Leek (~$60)or the CB JYDII (~$70) (depends if you want a small or larger folder).

They're both awesome knives and the CPM-D2 Kershaw uses on them is great stuff.

Other then a custom I am happy with my Paramilitary by Spyderco.

+1 for a Composite Junkyard Dawg II

I carry traditional slippies most of the time - EDC. I have a Queen Copperhead in D2 on my Christmas list. It is my first D2. My other Queen in 1095 is superb knife.

Camillus Cuda EDC in D-2, but you have to look hard for them.

Another 710 recommendation. I'd go with the plain edge variant.

 

[SPXTrader]

The CB Leek, JYD II or Tyrade...and you can add the Shallot to this list in the next week or so...

My bad, scratch the Shallot. That one is getting a ZDP-189 edge. Sorry.

Queen slipjoints! I've had very good luck with them and their heat treats. Be forewarned, they come really dull, but once you sharpen them...
