carry knives?

[DieselSmoke]

The wife got this one for my Birthday. I like assisted opening knives but this one uses little ball bearings at the pivot point and it open up super smooth.

I'm planning on having one made from a guy named Matt Helm. I think I'll spend about 250-300

What kind of knife is it? What metal?

[Silverback]

I decided after looking at this thread to spend the day sharpening my knives... so I snapped a quick picture.

I typically carry one of the Emersons daily, sometimes the Benchmade mini griptilian when i'm wearing shorts or something with smaller pockets.

Where are you guys getting auto benchmades? Their site shows to not sell to civilians

Dang that is just nuts, I can't imagine spending that much on a knife. My best knives were 100-ish. I might be persuaded to get up to 200 but that better be one bad knife.

I do like Spartan Blades quite a bit but they run 300-500

I almost went with a custom one, but decided to save a little money and just get this one.

It looks great and the bottle opener is sweet. Let us know how it sharpens, cuts and holds it's edge. I know I'm looking at a similar model myself.

I'm tempted to try a custom benchmade for my birthday or christmas myself. Playing with their custom generator is fun and having your name on your knife is worth a bit to me.

My new daily carry knife came in today, I must say I am impressed with the quality. This is my first Benchmade and it came with a free bottle opener.

Mini Barrage

I can't remember if mines the mini or full size but I carry the some one. If I carry one at work it's a gerber/kershaw I don't mind beating on.

This is my everyday carry. Spyderco Salt. Nice and thin. Light too.

This little thing is just dying for a carotid.

For the most part, I've always had/carried some kind of Spyderco knife over the past few years. Usually some kind of Endura although lately I've been stuck between an Endura with an Emerson Wave, a Tenacious, and my Spyderco Citadel Auto.

I wish benchamade did more alum scales vs plastic.

I have a hard time buying even the griptillian. It feels like one of those small 99 cent grab bag knives. The blades are awesome, and you can buy aftermarket scales, but man.

Ill say it again my all time favorite edc is a kershaw ram 1910ckt. Holds a edge forever and gets sharper than any other knife i own. The s30v on the kershaws chips to easy imho.

I've only owned one Benchmade before, some cheap fixed blade that I lost not long after buying it. Now I think my next knife may be a Griptilian. Ya I know the stock scales look cheap (especially considering how much the knife costs) but the aftermarket scales do look nice.

BTW, have you seen the Benchmade Custom Knife Configurator?

I have no idea and don't even claim to have an idea of what makes a pocket knife that expensive. It better be a bad bitch tho. Some guy was selling off a few the other day to fund a new rolex. He sold 3, $1200+ knifes in about 2 hours.

On the EDC boards that I am on it is not uncommon at all to see $1,200+ knives that look just like all of those.
