The Last Blade You'd Ever See Me Carry Is A.....

idk about you guys but if my addiction continues to grow at this rate i don't think i'll be able to make a list for this thread...

i could go along the lines of saying a sword over 36" but i could totally see myself heading to pakistan to hunt down osama so idk
 
huh? fill me in please?

I think din was talking about lying about the company's namesake's military experience, rather than lying about the materials or quality of the knives themselves. Google Mick Strider and you can read for days, both fact and fiction. Last time I looked, ZT's website profiles their contributing designers, and the Strider profile doesn't even mention Mick Strider by name, just says the people who design knives for Strider served in the military.

Some people are saying they'd never carry X,Y,Z knife b/c of quality &/or aesthetics, and others are doing so b/c of an objection to an owner/designer/founder's perceived morality, honesty, etc. To each his own.
 
Oooh, forgot to mention what I'd never be caught carrying. Anything made by Shrade (or Cha-rade, as they say on SMKW's Knives Live TV). When I was a kid, seems like I got at least one a year as a gift, b/c they were cheap (still are), and they never failed to fail me--tarnished and chipped blades, chipped handles, scales, rust and corrosion.

Absolute junk. :barf:

And I'd probably add the Opinel, just because it's French.
 
Stuff like this.

If I want a Sebenza, I'l save until I have the funds to pick one up and do without until then. I'll never buy, much less carry, such a blatant ripoff.
 
Made in China for me. Some people mention Opinel and I wouldn't ever carry one either. Now having them around the house and using them is another story.
 
any PINK knife. You should loose your man card for carrying a pink knife.

I sense some insecurity...

the knife itself more than makes up for the pink.
Btw, pink is only gay because you let society tell you. I have multiple, come take away my man card if you dare ;)

what you won't see me carry: the sak with the 1000 items on it

That was uncalled for...Fred Perrins designs is just awesome, don´t care if the dude is French or if he comes from the rings of Saturn...

I was joking, for Pete's sake! Not only was that not a "personal attack," but it sure wasn't intended to take a shot at Perrin. I like most of Perrin's designs (d/n know he was French, personally, but doesn't make a difference to me); I have a CS Point Guard, which IIRC, is a Perrin design; and I like it and am keeping it. I wasn't trying to start a political discussion; am I evil if I just don't like the country?

No you are not evil you just have Poor Sense of Humor;)

That's OK; I didn't notice you were from Sweden. You're located a lot closer to France than you are to us. :D My wife has travelled to Stockholm on business and loves it there. Dang, I'll bet Scandanavia has a bunch of great blades to choose from!
