Your cheapest carry and most expensive carry

[johnnytoxin]

The Umnumzaan was my main carry for a long time. The relatively cheap Cold Steel Air Lite has been carried more lately. I really enjoy both.

Nothing fancy for me. A swiss lite on my key ring since 1997 . The little lite has saved the day many a time .
Then in 2012 a small sebenza plain. Birthday present. Yes its worn and well used .
20 and maybe 350 . Both are treasured.

My cheapest carry has to be a SAK/Dreizack contract knife I got from the last PIF thread. I later bought a second one on eBay for six bucks plus shipping. They are nothing more than simple Vic Spartans with a different name stamped on the blade. One is resting in a coat pocket. it’s great as a loaner/back up knife or for when I am forgetful and leave the house empty handed.

My most expensive carry would be my Benchmade 162 Bushcraft at $160. I don’t carry it much but, it is the most I have ever paid for any knife.

If we are talking folders, it would have to be about $50-75 clams for a used Griptilian.

Vic Classic. This green one as an example. I have a blue one on my keys.

CRK Large Sebenza 21 Micarta.


I do use this TGLB, which might be more expensive than the Lg 21 above, but I don't carry it often.

Sure got them reeves collectors in here. When it comes down to price I could have guessed that would be the case. I'm surprised not more people have Striders on this site. Aren't they like 3~600 too?

I'm no collector. I do carry and use that Large 21 Micarta. CRK owners as only non-using collectors is often a misconception. Also, many won't touch a strider because of this: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/mick-strider-has-some-explaining-to-do.453852/

Somebody in the last PIF thread sent me a SAK Spartan with German markings. That rides in the pocket of my vest and goes everywhere I go.

A large Griptilian is normally my EDC when I am not in the office.

I’d say $20 on the low end and a little over $100 for the Benchmade.

Funny how things change in a couple of months

My most expensive... Warcraft Tanto.
Freshly ordered, I'm waiting to receive it

Congrats! Always had my eye on one of those. However, you haven't exactly carried it yet have you?

Yeah, I traded some of my collection so prices have changed.
The first post had estimated prices, anyway. Not that you need an explanation or anything.

No, I'm still itchy to get my hands on it. As soon as I get it I'll post pics and review

Here's my pair

what is that top one?? wow - it's just clean and so busy on the handle but it works... never seen such a contrast with burl + cf - I really like it


as for mine...
an opinel 8 (but with bubinga, it's worth the extra $10) - and just a couple dollars more, a kershaw leek

high end for me is the spydy gb2

It's a TBC EXK Plus, i have a thing for inlays and this is a masterpiece

Least expensive is an old Buck Adrenalin which is also the worst POS that I own--blade broken off twice and re-ground, finish worn away, and way off center with lock-up maxed out. Also my most frequent companion as it's my second-carry work beater in my off pocket for all those things one should never do with a knife.

Current most expensive is my Russian Dr Death which gets carried and used, though in a non-work, EDC role.

Cheapest - Benchmade 555 - 1. $165
Most expensive – crk small inkosi Micarta inlay – $475.
I only have four edc's - the middle two are a Protech Strider Auto at $170 and a sprint run para 3 carbon fiber at $230. All are rotated equally.
