I own a few different Spyderco knives, Benchmades and a microtech folder.
I also own several Kershaw's and I've dabbled in the China knives from kizer, cavivi etc
Who makes your favorite edc?
I don't typically carry my Spydercos to often because the shape makes them harder to carry in my pocket. I have a bug out I like to carry but it definitely isn't a work horse. Doesn't feel sturdy enough to be a work horse.
I have a Kershaw heist and am iridium that I like to carry. I bought the microtech to try it out but it's pretty bulky. The kizer and civivis are ok but I feel like in some ways they're a step back.
I also have an off the grid filter that I like.
I bought the new adira mini from Benchmade it's ok as well.
I can't seem to find the perfect carry knife. I noticed lately people have been saying Benchmade has lost their way a little bit in the quality dept. I like the bug out but definitely feel like it wasn't a great value.
I feel like I appreciate Kershaw quite a bit over all good service and a decent product. I'm having a hard time justifying more expensive brands. What your favorite edc? Which company do you prefer over all the best and why?
 
Kershaw, SAK and Cold Steel for the most part. All three great value for the money in my opinion.
 
I almost always have a Boker full sized Strike in my pocket. No fancy steel, no fancy price but a workhorse for me. These are about the only People's Republic of China made knife that I have not been able to work to destruction under normal, well MY normal usage.
 
Spyderco for me. I have other knives from other manufacturers, but my most often carried knife is the lil' Native slipjoint which works good in my current career where something bigger might be looked down upon. Manix 2 if I want something a little more beefy on the weekends. For a nice night out I'll grab the Chapparal in titanium.

Yep can't get on it says my email isn't valid for verification to log in. But when I made my new account it said my email was already in use.....which I knew that. So not sure why it wouldn't work but I finally gave up and made a new acct.

No worries. The other one is closed out now. Just continue using this one from here on in. There have been issues with some members not being able to log into their old accounts.

Got it can do. Yeah not sure why it was an issue. It just wouldn't send the email thing to let me enter the code. That one was set up with my main email. This one is my backup email. I don't have any intentions of using more than one acct. I just wanted to get in lol😂😂
 
Chris Reeve. Workhorse that can take a beating. Slim foot print in the pocket. Incredible warranty and customer service. USA made. I have more, carry more, and use more CRK than any other brand by far.
