MOST Intimidating EDC folder

[9blades]

I think a benchmade bedlam, ZT 0200, or spyderco blacked out military would all fit the bill!

To me "Intimidating EDC" is an oxymoron...I cut objects with my knife, not intimidate people with it. But I'll play anyway!

That depends on where you are. Sometimes the intimidation factor is key for an EDC, and it's been that way ever since people started carrying knives and swords.

Exactly. That's what my sword is for. Knife for cutting, sword for intimidation. Works great on the bus.

anything 4" +, especially with a recurve

I have EDC'd my Large G10 Espada. Unfortunately the XL & Rajah II aren't legal to carry...

Some people were surprised when I flicked out a SOG Pendulum who has a sub 3" blade. I normally carry at least a 3.5" blade.

I'd have to go with the DarkOps Stratofighter Covert Tanto.

1) It's got plenty of writing on the blade, and that always scares people. Though a skull might be nice somewhere....I guess one could always put a skull bead on a lanyard.

2) The name! It makes people run away like little girls. It got "Ops", "Fighter", AND "Covert" in it. If they threw "X-Treme" in the name somewhere, people would soil their pants.

3) Hello! Its a tanto.

4) It emits toxic green vapor and it's blade glows blood red!

5) 2 blood grooves!!!

6) It even intimidates a potential buyer! Dark Ops says "... built to the durability requirements of full-on, Spec-Ops combat! If you need a utility folder, this is not the knife for you." You not a high speed spec ops killing machine?!? Then don't even think of buying it, you pansy!

It's the total intimidation package for the incredibly select user who is awesomely terrifying enough to carry it.

LOL!!! Damn, I'm trying to hold in my laughter. I work at a library!

I have a feeling that the Spyderco Military could be pretty intimidating.

Spyderco civilian
Spyderco matriarch 2
Fox or Emerson folding karambit.

I get a kick at watching my family member's faces when I pull out my xl Voyager; especially on family vacations. Priceless.

My old Benchmade ATS34 is the one that gets the most comments even though I don't think it looks particularly intimidating.

 

[CJZ]

XL Espada, Adamas, Szabo,

 

[Todd21969]

Don't think it qualifies for 'most' , but my daily user ZT 0301 gets its fair share of looks.

 

[coli]

I don't know why but it seems when I have a tiger stripe blade I get more looks than the exact same knife with a standard blade

 

[rnbtexas]

I saw some "Bali-swords" in a thread the other day. Those would fit the bill.

 

[Sebenzaflipper]

Couldn't agree more with that stance

I think the Benchmade Bedlam would get a lot of looks from the general public, but I (and most knife knuts) think it's a bit "fruity".

Skip production knives and get this:

...and they say Germans don't have a sense of humor!

I love slingshot channel.

@1:22... "It's not completely locking, so I can carry in Germany legally without any permission..."

Priceless!

This microtech could be pretty intimidating. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_jPlq6oZVQ&desktop_uri=/watch?v=Z_jPlq6oZVQ
