I want to say first off, that I'm a dedicated SOG man, and that my foremost carry knife seems destined to be the Sebenza that some girl gave me.
However, way-back-in-the-day, since I lost my no-brand linerlock folder and replaced it with a Buck Adrenaline-BK, which I quickly sold, the Camillus Heat straight-edge drop-point satin-finish became the first *serious* tactical folder I ever owned or carried. In High School, everything from the occasional box to the occasional tough orange-peel became a subject for my first ever EDC.
(Canada is the kind of country that is particularly critical of this kind of thing, but nevermind)
The Heat, I understand, comes in a variety of finishes and blade shapes - satin and all-black, clip-point and tanto-edge, straight and serrated - that make the knife endlessly useful.
I had a SOG PEII during most of my teenage years, but everyone changes as they grow. My first *serious* tactical folder was a plain satin-finish-drop-point Heat. This post is dedicated to those who owned a similar knife, in one of its myriad variations, and who want to contribute stories of its greatness. Of it's strengths and potential vulnerabilities. (People who are fond of an especially good assisted opening mechanism ought to really like this thread)
To people who love Camillus knives and everything they used to stand for, especially the Heat series, HERE and NOW is the place to post your legends.
Thank you.
