Re: What knife do you carry?

TAM,

Benchmade 570 Presidio II Is a fine knife. I’ve looked for one coated black for a bit, as soon as I find one here locally, I’ll probably end up getting it. Yes, it’s that bad...

Also a different question. A lot like your favorite pair of shoes is different question from how to use your shoes and feet for self defense.

I'm carrying a Kershaw Leek now. Also, I'm wearing Aldo sneakers. :mrgreen:
My intent was to be thought provoking: we are taking about what knife we carry. Presumably, most on this forum carry knives so they have an edge weapon. If we can agree that at least some self-defense minded people here carry knives for that purpose, I am willing to wager that for every hour these folks spend training and practicing with their firearm at a range, they spend zero time training and practicing with edge weapons - I find that interesting. I find the Aldo sneaker reference to be a different kind of interesting.

:smilelol5:
If I have to ever use my blade for self defense, it is go primal time. Nothing tactical or mystical about it at all. Just try and stab/slash my way out of pickle.
I’m not ninja :smilelol5:

Since there seem to be a lot of Benchmade fans here, have y'all seen the new Crooked River Mini that's supposed to come out soon? I really like the regular Crooked River, but it's just a little too big for my tastes, with all the other stuff I carry in my pockets. The mini sounds like it would be perfect, though. Thoughts?

I have not seen that one yet, but will check it out for sure.

BTW

If you are looking at good blade from BM that is smallish in size, relatively speaking, check out that little BM Volli I have in the pic I posted. Very light. Great steel. Deploys fast.

Re: What knife do you carry?

I really like BM. My collection started with Contego and just kind of morphed from there. For weekends or outdoorsy stuff I like Adamas. That’s a tank of a knife. Most days I find myself with either infidel and Rift, or Infidel and Volli. Occasionally I throw in Contego as well.
So, Glock, few mags, and two to three blades :smilelol5:

Oh, occasionally I edc that plastic knife as well. Mostly if I’m in tactical mode.
