[jlauffer]

Been carrying the Grik for a couple years

 

[whp]

American Lawman. Tan handle.

 

[Edc.n.Stuff]

Today I carried an Urban Pal that I just put a splatter pattern acid etch on.

 

[SW-EDC]

Swift, black model.

 

[Man with no name]

Serrated Vaquero!!! And a Tuff-Lite.

 

[ron finkbeiner jr]

I have two but the code 4 I lost last year week at a truckstop in AZ and AK47 I can't carry due to no pocket clip and in NE it's illegal to carry without a pocket clip. Otherwise I will be patiently awaiting the arrival of the AD10.

 

[jux t]

Recon 1 satin clip point.

 

[Minnesota Man]

Most likely my Recon1 but possibly production mini Pendleton Hunter. It's only 2:30am and I'm off today so most likely the fixed blade.

Grik yesterday, a large clip pt. vg-1,voyager made in Japan today

For my walks either the Holdout I or 6" Aluminum TiLite, out and about a XL Voyager. Tomorrow it will probably be different, I think its a San Mai Day.

I have never had one of the XL models, save for an original voyager. Between the tanto and the clip point, which would you recommend for short hikes and as a backup defensive weapon?

I prefer the tanto(they can be harder to sharpen though), but both are good choices. I really like my old Japan XL Voyager too.

Frenzy. Carries better than any other Cold Steel XL. Narrow, thin, smoother G-10. Wicked blade.

I've wanted one for awhile now. Couldnt you have suggested a less expensive knife? Ha.

Will it be able to whittle, and do other utilitarian tasks?

 

[AF]

It'll certainly cut but as for whittling it probably won't do that well thanks to the fairly obtuse bevel. It's saber ground so relatively thick behind the edge.
But that's what a second knife is for!

 

[nephron]

I tried it once(whittling) with mine. .

 

[jencarlos]

Japanese titanium ti lite, or my old plain-edge scimitar

That is one huge folder, and it looks like it could take it- or make it! Very nice, thanks for the glimpse.

Today as with most days Im carrying a CS Kobun. Nice combo of smaller size in a non-folder. I like it better than most of the pouch-carry folders I have. The sheath-clip makes it possible to carry clipped to the breast of my leather vest, and with the kydex I don't have to worry about the blade cutting thru leather and endangering my cardio-pulmonary organs if I take a hard fall. I hate the kydex sheaths but in this case I make an exception.
The other knife I always carry- even in sleepwear pockets- is a made in Golden Colo Spyderco Native in S30v. Takes and holds a good edge and serves in many capacities, even sometimes eating when called upon.
