I got my first "tactical" folder when I was 16, a Cold Steel Voyager Tanto with a 4" blade. I carried it everywhere until the plastic clip snapped off and it was demoted to fishing tackle box duty. I replaced it with a CS Gunsite. Then two years later I bought a Benchmade Mel Pardu Axis Folder, and fell in love with G10 handles and ATS-34 steel. Next I got a pair of Strykers (one got lost at work). Then I turned 21 and started stocking up on handguns and rifles. I'm now 24, with a wife and a 4 year old, and a great job that provides me with plenty of spare money to spend on fun stuff. I have my handgun/shotgun battery pretty well rounded out, along with a sizable stock of ammunition that I keep on hand for "just in case". I figured it was time to buy a few nice knives and flashlights (with the boss...er wife's approval). First I got a Surefire 6P and a Spyderco Karambit. A few weeks later I was given an Emerson Commander and Karambit. Then last week I ordered a Super CQC-7. I recieved it today and immediately ordered a regular CQC-7 to use as my EDC (I don't want to abuse the Super CQC, planning on customizing it a little bit).
Here's what I have so far, minus the CQC-7 that's on the way:
Notice the wear marks on the benchmade clips- they stayed sharp for years while riding in my pocket and being abused constantly!
