Knives, bayonets, multi tools, daggers and other pointy implements.

Hey guys, based on some of the stuff I've already found, are there any other knives you can recommend out of the bunch that are particularly good, or ones that you like? Or the best place to buy it if the link I provided isn't.

The prices look pretty good.

I hardly never use my SOG folder, as it seems more for defense than utility.

I like that first one. I can't use non serrated knives anymore. I may keep one, but almost everything I need to use it for, (mostly in the backyard), would require a serrated.

You like that one that you have?

[Henry's Fork]

^Love it, thats why i use it for work. Its like a timex, takes a lickin and keeps on ticken.

[Steelersfan413]

Wait, is that top one a Doug Ritter too? The grip looks exactly the same, but the blade doesn't have the name of it on there, and I couldn't find a serrated model on the website.

[Henry's Fork]

Nope. They are both made by Benchmade, top one is just a regular Grip 551S. They also make the Ritter with serrations and a black coating. Both have the same handle, lock and clip. Just different blade style, steels(s30v and 154cm) and washers. They are large folders but since they dont weigh much, you forget they are on your pocket.

Cool. Thanks for the info man.

I was on the verge of buying on of those little Boker Chad Los Banos Subcom folders above, but when I gave it a "test drive" at the store I quickly discovered it's horribly biased for right-handed users.
I don't think anyone makes left-hand specific folders for under $50, which is all I'm willing to spend on a working knife.

[sauerstoff]

Must be hard to find knives for left-handeds. As a right-handed, I have no complaining about this little knive, actually love it, it's my secondary EDC, it's perfect for minor tasks and sometimes it's my prime EDC when I need something mora concealable than Endura. Actually I should bought the Claw, looks very nice.

^Well they make enough knives that are ambidextrious enough. Removable clip that can be put on both sides, and most have safeties or AXIS locks or whatever that are accessible from both sides.

Yes I know, but as he said, it's hard to find under $50.

You ever try to close a liner lock with your left hand? Like most right-hand specific tasks, it's doable with the left hand, but awkward and slightly dangerous -- you have to push your index finger towards the blade edge as it closes into the handle. The first time I tried it (Benchmade Emerson CQC-6 or 7) I cut a sliver of skin off, and since then the few knives that I actually do own are lockbacks or slipjoints. I don't imagine that frame locks are any different. If you're right handed, the next time you're in an arts & crafts store try using a pair of left-handed specific scissors to get a feel for how uncomfortable doing things "backwards" feels.

Yeah I know what you mean. I do feel bad for lefties sometimes.
