these are the knives i have rotated through... first is the silver Gerber Paraframe... i liked this one for its simplicity and price, but gerber doesnt really have a good reputation and it didnt hold an edge very well at all.... i had to keep sharpening it over and over again... so then i upgraded to the middle knife you see.... the Benchmade Mini Griptilian:
This one was quite spendy but teh blade on it was almost magical... it opened with a slight flick of teh thumbstud and held an edge extremely well! the handle was lightweight and it was somewhat smaller then the gerber so i didnt scrape against it while reaching into my pocket for something else... still, it didnt have that feel that i wanted in a durable long lasting, do everything knife... so i went with the Spyderco Delica 4:
This one is an amazing knife... spyderco was the first knife company to introduce one handed opening on knives and is quite possibly the most popular knife company in terms of every day carry knives... their lineup has hundreds of models for every situation but the Delica i have is their most popular "do all" knife. the blade steel is hair shaving sharp and extreemly strong. the handle has a really good grippy surface, even when wet. plus, it sits in my pocket nice and is very lightweight due to the fiberglass reinforced nylon handles.next up is the Boker Subcom series... I dont carry these on a daily basis but they are some sweeeeeet little knives with the power and handling of a large knife! they are about the size of a money clip and VERY compact. they fit in your hand sooo nicely and have some great cutting power due to the ergonomics...
the second in the subcom series is the brand new Boker Subclaw.... this this is designed for cutting chores like opening boxes and cutting rope as the curved blade draws the knife in instead of pushing it out like on a upward swept blade... it is also VERY useful in a self defense situation... this thing could literally tear you a new asshole in a matter of a second! this is by far the sharpest knife i own and cuts through thick cardboard like a butterknife through butter....
last but not least, we have my every day carry tool knife, the Victorinox Swiss Army Huntsman. I tried a leatherman tool before but it was just simply too heavy and had a few tools that were taking up space and weight that i didnt need... so i went the simpler more compact and lightweight route, the classic swiss army knife! of course i had to have it in black... The huntsman model shown here features all of the tools i need and nothing i dont... it is the best blend of urban and woods survival tools in a small package. you get: large blade, small blade, scissors, saw, can opener, bottle opener, flathead screwdriver, smaller flathead that works on philips, wire stripper, keyring, corkscrew, awl, parcel hook, tweezers and the ever-so-popular toothpick!
thats all in the world of knives for right now! spyderco is coming out with new models soon so stay tuned! i may have more to write about!
