Anyone have experience with the One Ton? I want to try one and I want to either try this one or a couple skylines for my 2 youngest to start learning more serious knife safety and use. Input would be appreciated.
 
I would definitely not recommend it as a knife for a kid. It's way too wide! The half ton would be a better choice imo!

You can compare with my pics:

Wow! Thanks for the comparison. I think you're right. I want one for myself though.:thumbup:
 
I'm thinking Half Ton or Skylines as well. Skyline for the slimmer profile and ease of carry. Maybe Oso Sweet if they like the handles or OD-1 could be considered as well?
 
To the OP, I would recommend the Skyline for its smaller profile for their smaller hands. Also from the pic, the Chill, Oso Sweet, OD-1, and Vapor line would also make good choices. Just as a note the Oso Sweet is assisted where the others arent. Lastly I would say you could look at the Nerve and Salvo as well. The Nerve is a very nice knife that I just keep going back to. It and the Salvo are a little bit longer though than others mentioned if memory serves.

Personally out of those I have owned and carried them all at some point. Out of them, the OD-1 has the best action to me but I prefer the blade shapes of the Skyline and Oso Sweet better for EDC. My wife carries a Half Ton and an OD-2 (one in pocket and one in purse) and she loves both for their smaller size.
 
Cal45, what is the model of the knife in second pic #6 from the left? Does it have a flipper?

Thanks
 
Get the one ton for yourself and skyline for your kid. They are affordable, you can get both and let them decide.
 
Cal45, I think your collection needs a little work. It's missing out on a nice strait edge.

That's a Clash 1605CKT. It has assisted opening. An amazing knife for 30-40$!

I have a Needs Work G10 (only 300 made from what I saw here) on the way :D

For sure. Skyline would be 100% better suited for a kid. The One Ton is wayyy too wide. (But get it for yourself, its awesome ;))
 
I bought a One Ton last weekend at a local gunshow. Got it home and realized it wasn't for me. It was just too fat for my hand. I took it back the next day and traded it for something else.

I love my Half Ton, however.
 
Thanks for the input! I will have 2 skylines on the way from a very generous forumite on payday. My Youngest son and daughter will be extremely happy. As to the One Ton, it is on the list of wants.
