Lost my Kershaw Blackout need new EDC / military, ideas?

[ThreeWorlds]

If you like Kershaw, you should definitely check out their new models. They've come up with a lot of new and very interesting stuff at very reasonable prices.

I should also say, with regards to previous recommendations for the Leek, that most people consider the Leek more of a fine slicer rather than a military/tactical knife. Rock6's post was a pretty good basic rundown for blade types, and the utility/penetration tradeoff; I personally like the spearpoint and drop-point blades, because they're good all around.

Don't write off manual openings either; if you like flippers, Kershaw has a lot of new ones that flip open easy, manual, and the wave feature is lightning fast.

Here's some basic steel info. You'll probably want to skip straight to "stainless".

I also want to say it's great reading the posts of the military knife users deployed in theater. Not many of the rest of us depend on our equipment as a life and death issue, and it's fascinating to see what the warriors use, and why.

I will second that :thumbup:
Will look forward to more posts from Rock6
