:confused: Ok guys here it goes, do you have that “one” knife that you just keep going back to and it’s not your best, favorite and not your most expensive knife? These is just something about it, that when you see it you pick it up and want to carry it again and again. Then you feel bad cause you put the other “better” knives back in the drawer.

For me I EDC either CRK small sebbie or Al Mar Mini SERE, but every now and then I seem to gravitate back to my SOG Mini X-ray. Why, I don’t know?
 
I buy a lot of knives, but they all more or less become paperweights or get ebay'ed. Why? SAK.


ot: how do you like that Mini X-Ray? I bought one cause I loved my titanium Vision. But the Mini was kind of disappointing. The blade color(not sure what to call it) was weird.
 
Mini-RSK (black blade) for me. In fact, she's home sulking right now because I've got my HK 14210 with me, but she'll be back. She always finds a way to come back. She won't leave me alone.

When I'm out with one of my other knives, she's the one I think about. When she's in my pocket, I have to keep taking her out and playing with her. I look for things to cut just to feed her.

Yeah... she'll be back.
 
my no frills...picked it up at Wallyworld Kershaw Leek PE.
 
Kershaw Spec Bump, I like the feel of it and love the shape of the blade. On the other hand, the SOG Tomcat 2 and 3 are pretty cool to!!
 
At home it's hands down my Fallkniven S1.At work it's my Buck-Strider 889.That knife gets a lot of use and I like how it works.
 
Mini-Grip has pretty much taken over my pocket, Mnandi gets the most handling at home- LOTS of other stuff laying around being "neglected"!
 
Kershaw Random Task, from the first series. It never locked very well, and yet I don't care
-a
 
I usually carry Spyderco folders but the my dang Sog Flash II somehow gets used the most. As far as fixed blades go it would have to be the Sog Seal 2000.
 
My PE spyderco ATR. I dont normally like metal handles but this knife consistently finds a way into my edc rotation. It gets carried several days per month. It is really a hell of a knife.
 
my benchmade 705 keeps popping up even though i have other bigger badder more expensive knives with better steel
 
Benchmade Model 960 with D2 blade. Keeps working its way into my pocket. After stropping my eyes get bloodshot when I look at the edge. Great knife. Waiting on a small Sebenza. See if that takes over the space.
 
The Spyderco Caly 3 and Benchmade 745 seem to find their way into my pocketses more than my more precious ones.
 
Most of the time I carry a small regular Sebenza, but the knife I come back to from time to time is my grey FRN Spyderco Calypso, Jr. Right after that is my Benchmade 710HS (M2) when I'm in the mood for a bigger blade.

For my second piocket knife (I always carry 2), although I think my SAK small Tinker is more versitile, I keep coming back to a yellow-handled Case medium stockman with CV blades. My daughter picked it out for me, so it has sentimental value, in addition to being a very useful knife.
 
Cold Steel Recon 1 (Japan) and Cold Steel Scimitar. I have all the good stuff from the name guys, but these two always end up in the pocket. Go figure.
