    Tell me, which size do you find more useful? You have both the big Doug Ritters and the mini versions. Do you use the big ones or minis more???

    I prefer a Mini for day to day use and I use them a lot more than the full sized knives. The Minis are very compact but will still deal with most of the jobs that the full sized knife does. I do keep a full sized knife in my firejacket for use at incidents, as they are easier to handle in thick firefighting gloves.

    I love M2HS and have quite a few Benchmades in that steel. I prefer it to S30V and find that it takes a great edge and holds it for ever, whilst still being easy to sharpen.

    Not something fancy, but rather a piece of family history:







    It was made(from a bayonet) for my granduncle by his war buddy. You can't see that on this crappy picture, but one one side of the handle (on the metal, beneath the plexiglas) there is a my family name engraved, and on the other WWII.

    Nice Theater made knife IDF. I wonder what type of aircraft the plexiglas came off of.

    Thanks for the Lone Wolf folder Taco, just finished re-grinding the blade into a spear point. Then slapped a convex edge on her........oooooo super scary sharp! This folder is a frikken tank, no such thing as blade play on this monster. Pics to come soon.

    I own a Benchmade 710 and a Spyderco Military. Both are good. However I've now become a firm believer in tanto style blades and ultra low weight knives. I wish I could buy an auto knife but they're banned thanks to the lefty facists.

    Henry's Fork keeps churning out good sheeyit!

    Gotta find a way to carry it, though. Maybe as a neck knife.

    Opinel isn't "sexy" enough; it's just too plain. It's needs to be high speed uber tactical and overpriced! Anyway, I just got my first Opinel (Model No. 8) this week, but not as an EDC.

    When I was in the Army, I had an actual pressing need almost every day at work for my Gerber -- either the knife, pliers, screwdriver, etc. Away from the Army, I have almost never needed a blade of any kind in a place where I wasn't able to access one, ie at home or in my car. I really have no actual need to carry a blade with me "at all times".

    That being said, this has been my only real "EDC" for the past few months, and I haven't had to use it once:



    It fits right on the keyring with the other keys so it's out of the way until I need it...which so far, I haven't. Anyway, I'm thinking of replacing it with my Swiss Army SD (the cheapest, most basic model Swiss Army Knife) cause it's "cooler", but I'm not sure yet..

    Probably, what kind of work do you do?

    I would fvk a Op up in the first 5 min at my job. Thats why it stays in the tackle box for fishing.

    Dave, Op's are very sexy, sitting next to my fly vest and rod by the stream side. Cutting Manzanita and Oak all day long needs a little tuffer knife and steel.
