What knife(s) ALWAYS go(es) with you...

Pretty good Tim! I've experimented with a few angles and discover that with a thin knife like yours, even a 22 deg (about 43-44 deg inclusive), cuts very well, and lasts a long time! I like sharpening as much as the next knife-nut, but I don't see the point in ruining a knife by having to resharpen it too much thanks to a too-acute secondary bevel. Once again, thinness, esp. behind the blade proves to be the big advantage.
 
Great! i have gone to .10 thick O-1 from crucible for my more recent stuff, and its great! nice thin, and wicked edge!
 
Let me see if this is gonna work:

This is what it looked like when I first got it from Tom. It now has a black rubber coating on the handle.

Mon-Fri: Small Classic Sebenza
Weekends: Large Classic Sebenza
All the others just don't see much use anymore! Too bad I'm in CA though. I would love to carry a FB on a regular basis.
 
<b>Always</b> a Victorinox Soldier SAK left front pocket. However I usually have a locking tactical folder of some sort on the right side (faves are Emerson Commander, CQC-7B or Spyderco Starmate (this gets the most carry time.))

Now that I pause to think about it, this is an interesting question. Used to always have my Spydie Delica. No matter 3-piece suit or out in the boondocks. Usually that would be backed up with a SAK of some kind. Now, I seem to have specific knives for each dress code. SAK, Endura or Delica, William Henry Evolution S-07, Benchmade Elishweitz, Spydie Viele...

Ahhh.... how could I forget. :) SAK Classic follows me through every dress code.

So what's the problem? I live in CA and carry a FB all the time outside SF. They're perfectly legal if not concealed...
 
Strider BT/SS, Cold Steel Spike. When I'm wearing shorts, I clip my Gerber Guardian IWB. Even wore my Strider IWB with shorts once, just fine! :D

Matthew - Please elaborate; I live in CA also. What size blade do you carry, and where? Just hangin' on your belt? Don't you get odd stares? Or is it not that big? Let me know...

Emerson's cqc7 Is My choice. It has been with me pretty much year. I use Boker Brend,BM AFCK,Spyderco Rookie,and Timberlines Discovery occasionally but I always reach for the Emerson first. :)
 
currently my favs are my emerson SOCFK green handled black tanto combo edge, and my ralph mini maxx CF/handles/talonite spearpoint blade

No matter where I am (except in an airplane), I'll not be without a good Victorinox SAK or two. Lately, it's been a combo of the Messenger II and either a Soldier, a Pioneer (of the non-imported type), or a Rucksack. Top off the SAK pack with either a BM 705 or Griptilian, and I'm good to go.

i always take a leatherman micra, and when im at work I have this one knife that if you saw it in a shop you would label it as a pos, it cost me 20 pounds around 5 yrs ago, its a lock back knife with 1 handed opening brass knob, low profile stainless handle and no name, serrated blade that curves back, looks like a fishermans knife to me but its been in my pocket virtually every day for the last 5 years, I have more expensive knives but this knife keeps going, apart from some scratches its as good as new. I tried to cut through a washing line with it a few yrs ago then realised it had a steel core and totally wrecked the serrations but they came up fine again and its still going! sentimental value i suppose... Ive started carrying a crkt in my jeans but this knife is still my work knife as it goes discreetley into a suit pocket.
 
Another Micra carrier here.
I just can't seem to leave it at home!
I have tried to carry a traditional pocket-knife but I always go back to the Micra or a Swiss Army knife.
But now the Micra seems to have replaced even my beloved SAKs.
It fits in my pocket better than any SAK with the same tools.

I also just bought a VG-10 50/50 edged Endura (I'll see how long I carry this one).

Good luck,
Allen.
