Is that neck knife easy to carry? I never tried one but it seems cumbersome and having to mess around under your shirt to take it out sounds dangerous.
I'll post my (large) collection when I'm back home if the thread still exists.
I can't legally carry it under my shirt, or concealed anywhere for that matter in California. I've carried it as a neck knife outside of CA and it is a bit heavy for that. Wouldn't be bad if I was dressed in warm clothes but it is easily spotted when only wearing a tshirt. Not ideal by any means. Max concealed blade length is under 2" so I carry it on my belt, in the open. Ideally it would be around the ankle if I could conceal it.

Nowhere have I gotten mad in this thread. You two have been on here long enough to know how threads like this go. We post our knives, you cry like bitches and say we're dumb rednecks, we stand our ground, you shit your diapers and ask us "but why?", we give you the reasons AGAIN, B complains about the repetition, you ask "but why?" again and the thread is ruined/locked.
See how that works? Never fails so I won't play into it. I carry a knife because I use a knife daily. You don't need anymore reason than that. End of.

It's not really a question of needing to or not. You don't need to carry anything, you carry various things around with you because they offer you some sort of convenience. It's the same with knives, I carry one because I find it handy to have around, not because I feel inherently threatened by my everyday surroundings or because I plan on stabbing someone. Truth be told I wouldn't be pulling my knife in a dangerous situation anyhow. It's far too small to do any real damage and chances are I would be the one who ended up getting stabbed. At least in my situation, my knife is strictly for utility and not for protection.
and to stay on topic, here's a picture of my everyday knife:

Same could be said by those that don't use/have shoes, a car, a hat, a cell phone, a computer... makes just as much sense as your question. No, it is not absolutely necessary, yes it is a useful tool that I use often enough to keep it on my person.
Asking silly questions like if I open letters with a bowie doesn't help your arguement. I posted my knives and clearly showed what I carry.
Post by: pimpa$aurus on January 06, 2011, 11:09:26 AM
They serve an essential purpose, knives do too but only in certain situations.
Its hardly a silly question, what exactly are you doing day to day that requires a knife? I can't think of a single situation where using something else wouldn't work better. The only time I'd use a knife daily would be to cook...
I can just picture you walking around going about your day to day business with a belt with torches knives and guns, so jokes you think thats normal.

I'd (honestly) love to know what you lot do with your knifes? Unless you live in the country or work outdoors I can't see the point.
If you don't know what someone would use a knife for in day to day use, then it's a good thing that you don't carry one. I'd like to know what problems you have with people who do carry a knife because they find practical uses for it on the daily. There's a lot of things others carry around that I don't see the point in carrying, but I wouldn't give them a hard time about it.

Shoes are not necessary in day to day lives. You can walk without them, can you not?
I don't actually keep anything on my belt aside from when I carry my BK11, which is rare. I never said what I carry is normal and everyone should carry the same. I keep on me what I find myself needing often, and nothing I don't.

I think it is a reasonable question actually. What do you do with them? For instance, I carry a phone so I can call people/people can call me, a wallet for money, baccy and a lighter so I can smoke, and keys so I can open doors. At no point do I need to cut stuff outside of the kitchen.
I am actually genuinely interested as to what you cut.
Surely you could rub two sticks together to light something on fire, no? A lighter is convenient though, I understand.
I use my knife for various cutting throughout my day. I don't need to give you specifics.

Wheelr gave a decent response which answered my question, and, as you would see in the knife debate thread, I took that in. You, however, couldn't manage that.
I posted in here before there. If you are that interested, honestly, I will answer your question.
I have so far today used mine to open a bag of dog food, cut a bagel in half, cut up some boxes here at work, sectioned a plastic cushion here at work for inspection, cut the wire tie off of a product I am working on, cut another bagel in half, stirred my coffee and cut open another package.

A lot of craftsmanship goes into both.
As for carrying one everyday, remember that 50 years ago almost every man had a pocket knife on him, they're not for defense or to intimidate people, they are tools. Man's oldest tool.
I use mine to sharpen pencils, cut food on the go, open caulking cartridges at work etc... I can honestly say that I use mine everyday, they're just practical.
I might sound cliché when I say it's better to have one and not need it than needing one and not having it (Cutting a jammed seat belt comes to mind).
I can see why carrying a gun shocks some of you but a knife? Come on, most of the guys who posted in this thread also have guns, they must have other reasons than defense or intimidation to carry one since the gun can serve that purpose.
Sorry for the long rant but It just seems that some of you are arguing for the sake of it.

oh yall kids are arguing cause its fun.the topic could be the size of someones balls and the same 4 or so british dipshits will be at it with the same 3 or 4 overly tactful nerd motherfuckers from the usa.its like a crappy television show

I try to stay out of these threads because of the lack of intelligence that the majority of the posts possess, obviously this thread is no different. Same scenario different thread... Subject a presents said "controversial" item, and subject b says "what the fuck is that for". But it seems as if these stupid arguments are getting out of control and people are posting in them just to start bullshit.
I completely understand that some may not see carrying a knife useful, and thats fine, but if no one is pressuring you to carry a knife then where is your contention stemming from? No pressure, No direct contact, No seen effect should not equal heated argument unless your overly confrontational... and then if your this vocal about things that will never affect you maybe you should become a politician or lobbyist.
It is blatantly obvious that none of you have been stabbed by the "crazy knife wielding lunatics" that the majority of you are depicting us DKC (daily knife carriers) as (and therefore never directly effected by a knife)... and if you think about it logically then if you had been confronted by someone with a knife maybe it would have been in your best interest to have had a tool with you that you could also utilize to save your ass.
Carry a knife everyday and then tell me that you don't use it.

Couch, i've been a member at Bladeforums for probably 5+ years and always liked STR's clips and rebuilds. I never could justify a 40 dollar clip for a sub 50 dollar knife though.
All of his clips are $30 flat + $4 shipping. Considering its a titanium plate and the JYDII has such wide screw location it is a fairly large plate, all hand made in low quantity I can justify it. I appreciate what he does and what goes into each clip. Seems like a solid guy and I'm into supporting that. I see what you're saying though about it being nearly the same as the knife.

Carry the one on the left whenever I am working, also have a rescue knife for working.
The one on the right is a handmade job I like to look after, I sharpen pencils and shit with it, and use it out and about some times.
I carry a knife fairly often I guess, just to poke trees with and for when I get excited by mushrooms.

Gerber Gator - This is my hunting knife; I have had it since I was 10. It has held up awesome, but eventually I think I will break down and get a super nice hunting folder, one that will last forever (Gerbers handle is starting to tear in places, has a bit of wobble now, etc).
Cheap Gerber - Daily carry, cost around $10, but is worth its weight in gold. Anyone that doesn't carry a knife would be amazed at how often one would come in handy, whether you have a hangnail, need to open a box, need to dig a metal chip out of your boot, etc. I use it a ton.

I have the exact same one, grip and everything from at least 14 years ago. It's helped me like no other tool I've ever had.

but if you need one, fair play. i never have. i've never lived in suburbia, i've always had the convenience of living in a city or on a farm. i guess it is different for you lot.

I have a skeletool as my daily carry and I love it. Its a nice slim and lightweight multitool that feels good in your pocket. Its stripped down to the basics and great for everyday use.

a few years back me and a group of buddies all ordered cold steel pocket bushman folding hunting blades one drunken evening. for many reasons; knives equate to coolness, lynn c thompson is an avid bicycle commuter, but probably most of all we had been watching cold steel promo dvds all night and it was the cheapest knife they sold at the time. the same time next week there were four obnoxiously large knives in my social circle. one was lost at a party (the ladies loved these knives, weird i know.) the second had it's locking mech demolished in a rouse of knife throwing. third had it's tip broken from shop use. the forth... no clue. i guess the point i'm trying to make is... don't buy one of those, poor quality.
but if it weren't for those knives we would have never found the wonderful game of knife boxing. that would be dangerous, if it involved physical exertion in the slightest.

If they clean up the blade, it loses a lot of it's value. Old swords like that stay valuable when they're untouched. Don't clean it!!

I've got this but mainly just take it fishing. It's great because I've wanted a leatherman with a pocket clip forever. So it's got needlenose pliers, screwdriver with 2 flat and 2 philips head bits, carabiner/bottle opener, and a small locking blade. I'd definitely get another if I ever lost this one.

No idea if this is a good knife or not, I just got it for free from a friend who didn't want it anymore. It's ugly and beat up but it's also well used and still going strong.
Edit - Now that this thread inspired me to look into it, I guess it is supposed to be a pretty good knife

i've had 2 evo juniors and get the serrated blade version. great knife very solid, but not exactly a speedy draw knife but great for everything, not bulky, and pretty good price. the clip is a bitch to get on your pocket if its not broken in, but that means its tight and wont fall off i guess.

on a slightly related note some guy came into the shop a week or so ago and started venting at me about how outrageous it was that we were selling this bear grylls knife(its the largest in the range, the blade’s about 4-5 inches long) and how kids look up to bear grylls and theres nothing it would be useful for except putting holes in people etc. i told him that it’s not going to do anything your standard kitchen chopping knife couldnt do and to email the company. should have told him about the delivery of the big fuck off bear grylls machetes we're waiting on.

I have been considering buying a machete for clearing trails while mountain biking for a while. they are certainly very useful for other things than cutting holes in people! I just don't know how to carry it while riding. I think a folding saw would be more helpful.
They are pretty useful for cutting holes in people. Here is what I did to my leg when cutting brush with my machete. Deflected off a tree branch I didn't see.

Anyone know of a good place to get cases for multi-tools? I got a Leatherman Juice XE6, and the specified case for it only has a clip for attaching to your belt. I am looking to get one with a closed loop so it will not fall off my belt, also I would like it to run parallel to my belt.
Probably a bit much for what you are after but he also does custom stuff.

Microtech makes one of the best otfs, only brand better would be a desert knife works.
They are out of your price range though, most/all good otfs are out of your range.
OTFs aren't my first choice when it comes to knives though.
They aren't really made for normal utility tasks, especially spear point ones.
Why is that you need an otf? If you really want an auto I would say go with
a Protech TR3.

Well if you can afford one then get a microtech, they're generally 300-400.
Unless you don't mind getting a fairly small one, then I would say get this

i was just going to order a normal sized ultratech on a site for like $250 but they sold out :( i'll probably just wait till they get more of those in, i wasn't aware the utx85 and 75's were so tiny haha
Ah yeah the ultratech will be perfect, go for it!
Yeah the 75 is a tiny little knife, nice though.

Seriously, one of the best purchases I have ever made. I never realized how useful it is to always have a good blade until now. I don't leave home without it.

Gave my Leek to my brother because he lost his, gave my Opinel to my buddy as a housewarming gift. Not sure what to get now. Thinking about another Opinel, this time in carbon steel. Sweet little knives, even if they can be a bit clunky for a daily carry. Opinions?
Carbon steel opinels are very nice, awesome little cutters.
Like you said though, too chunky in the pocket for me.
How about a spyderco delica?

Dang those are nice! Great first flipper release from Spyderco.
I was looking at that or the Ti Military, went with the military for simplicity sake.
Edit: for content sake, I really want one of these but their impossible to source at this point..

I miss my military I really should have kept it.
It was the orange g10, they're stupid priced now.
I would really like a fluted ti millie.

I had both of these knives - the Evo Jr and the other one (I forget what it's called at the moment) sitting in a drawer until about two weeks ago. the Evo Jr had play in the blade pretty much the entire year used it (bought in 2010/11ish), with the exception being the first month or two (not side by side play, close/open play) so I gave up on it. I called it a loss and purchase the second knife. Had that knife for a solid 1.5-2 years and really like it, good size, low profile clip, serrated blade. I considered it a step up from my Evo Jr - but it too also had play in the blade nearly the entire time I owned it. At that point I said fuck it because I was pissed with all of these shitty Gerber knives but continued to carry it because I didn't want to spend anymore money. Well I used it for anything and everything and it finally reached its deathbed after the winter I used it selling christmas trees. between cutting garland, twine, and once a couple small branches for a delivery tree, that knife was used every 20-30 minutes on busy days. It got a lot of use and one day toward the end of the season I noticed the clip was loose, I had lost two bolts holding the sides together, and of course the blade still had play. I threw it in the drawer with the Evo Jr and forgot about them.
Fast forward to two weeks ago. I have since purchased two Kershaw open assists that I enjoy very much (each has their own purpose in regards to where I am working on a given day) and I was impressed with the lifetime warranty (including the convenience of mailing you the spare parts you need no questions asked - except for blades, understandably) as well. I have sent in one of the Kershaws on the same day I sent in these two knives and for the same reason, has play in the blade. I may sound picky but I spend double on that Kershaw that I did for both Gerbers and I see no reason why they can't seem to handle daily use (I haven't sold christmas trees since that Gerber got destroyed! And I don't use my knives for prying, stupid shit, etc).
Anyways - I remembered my old Gerber knives in the drawer, looked online/saw they had a lifetime warranty as well, and decided to fill out the warranty form for each knife and send them to Gerber. On monday (about 10 days later) I received two packages in the mail - one with a brand new Evo Jr (in package) and the other with a brand new knife (same model as the one I sent in that was in really rough shape). I honestly expected a phone call saying it would cost me a couple bucks, or even for my knives to be sent back (especially the really rough one) but instead I received 2 brand new knives!
Despite my initial distaste with every Gerber I have ever owned (because they all have play in the blade after little to no time) I was very impressed and honestly have nothing but praise for Gerber. No questions asked they supplied me with two brand new knives when I honestly wasn't expecting much more than my own knives shipped back to me. If anyone has any questions on buying a lower-mid range knife I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Gerber product at all, especially with their (timely) warranty department. Only downside is that they aren't made in the United States. As for now we will see how long it takes for Kershaw to either get back to me, or mod my knife (I suggested it to prevent play in the blade if it was easier) and ship it back.
Sorry for the book, but I felt a backstory needed rather than: TL;DR i had two shitty knives and i got 2 new ones for free

Boker Plus Ridgeback designed by Bill Coye. Bill's books are nearly always closed so when the Boker version became available I jumped on one as quick as I could. Not as nice as an original Coye but still a great fixed blade. Perfect for horizontal belt carry.
His stuff is so good, I've wanted a wiskey 2 for so long now, just can't justify that much, though if I could it would be an RJ martin.
I do want to pick up a les george vecp sometime in the future, especially over a sebenza or strider for the same price.

Im in the market for a good knife. Not sure if I want a fixed blade or a foldable. Ive always dug fixed but this is something I would be wearing to work and probably just around when I'm not riding. Nothing China made of from that area at all actually, thank you : D

Im kind of after something with traditional values/character. Like something with a burled mahogany with a cherry border. Or perhaps maybe a burnished pine with an apple wood border/hint of ash.
Thanks guys!

Nioce, I'm actually really picky about knives so could you guys recommend a good website to just browse 100's of types of knives?

Forerunner is bitchin! All of his stuff is super dialed. How much you want for the Albatros?
I have it up on blade_exchange insta but would give you the bg deal. It has slight lock rock which is common with the model. Good shape for a user 60 shipped
