- Sog Flash II

Benchmade 810.

 

[Hauling]

Is this top 5 you have or top 5 period?

 

[Minnesotapride88]

From what I've owned and carried, in order:

1) Whatever Victorniox SAK best meets your needs (Pioneer for me)
2) Benchmade Mini Griptilian 555HG (I like it more and more each day)
3) Spyderco Delica 4 FFG (fantastic knife, it's my running companion)
4) Kershaw Leek 1660CKT (it's slim, sleek, and makes a great dress knife)
5) Victorinox Classic (tiny, but it's great to throw on your keys)

I don't mind contributing to thread drift, since it's a necro thread from 2008

Hey Noodle, I see you're a Kahr man as well! And from the holster it appears you pocket carry it? How well does that work for you? How badly does it print?
