Have been looking at my collection and thought of a big problem. Many makers put their name on the blade ("Pat Crawford") and even worse number them (Bud Nealy). The local LEOs can probably ID you in minutes. From now on I'm for "sterile" blades.

I think a mark of the maker is ok,and a number if it's a limited series of blades like ten of a kind;never to be reproduced by the maker.I like to know my blade by the maker's loge on it,then I know where to get the replacement if it's worn out or lost.

I'm thinking more in line with a daily carry - for that just in case once in a lifetime situation (or even just for being found with a knife in one's possession). A numbered knife is very traceable. Heck, just having the maker's name (if its a custome) makes knife very traceable). Sterile might be best if you carry it IMHO.
 
Well, unless you always wear gloves then your safe, but other than that your finger prints will show up on the knife and they will ID you anyway.

And if your useing your knife in some way that would involve the police then your probably breaking the law and you can be sure that they will check your so called "Sterile" blade for finger prints.

The Moral: DON'T BREAK THE FRICKIN' KNIFE LAWS UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CAUGHT

Also, most makers mark there blades for a reason. To keep them apart from all the junk thats out there that is made to look like theres.

Sincerely,

To be honest, I feel that carrying a knife with a maker's mark and "serial #001" on it is a way of telling a cop (or anybody else) "look dude, if I was planning illegal mayhem, would I carry *that*!?".
