Mostly Benchmade for me. I've tried others...Benchmade is where I end up every time.
How do you like the Adamas? I am around 15 models of Benchmade now but I have not tried the Adamas, I sprung for the 808 Loco that has the bigger axis lock like the Adamas. I have often considered the Adamas, just haven't bought any d2 in awhile.

Hey Firestrike. I really like the Adamas. This model is the auto. Not so much for the auto effect, more so for the added safety lock that isn't available on the standard model. I love me some D2 steel...as you can see. I carried a SMF in place of the Adamas for a while due to the lighter weight and slimmer profile of the SMF. After carrying the SMF for about a year...well less than that....it didn't last to long dealing with my everyday torture, I ended up carrying the Adamas again knowing it'll do all I need and customer service is just top notch with Benchmade. Not so much with the other option I had with the SMF.....send it back and wait about 3 years to see my knife again....so I sold the SMF.

I was content with a Spyderco para military 2 as my edc,
But have now replaced it with a ZT 300 and it is basically the only folder I own now, I don't even want to get in to custom folders! until Busse releases a folder I am content with my 300.
But Balisongs that is my other habit!!!

Don't! They are even more expensive than fixed blades!!! I'm having to put myself on a self imposed intervention!!! There are just so many makers making awesome folders and they all tend to cost more, and the secondary markup on some makers is just insane! Dalibor tends to have a 100-150% markup from dealers over direct costs! That's not even getting into things like Zirc, Damascus, Timascus, etc. I have a couple that have cost me more than my satin Gladius

You have me drooling over your Bali collection! Love tho HOMs bro and great AB collection as well. Awesome taste you have. Always dig a Benchmade Bali too.
I carry a Leatherman Charge TTi on my belt every day, but also have a Surge, Wingman, Juice, and Squirt PS4. Before that was a Victorinox Super Tinker.

Have you tried the Victorinox Spirit? I like the quality better than the Leatherman.
