I totally agree that Kershaw is a great value. Personally, I've had this double-locking Kershaw for over a decade and it has been a fantastic EDC.
Picked up this steelwill cager 1410 knife today. I looked at many knives, this will handle well for what im looking for. https://steelwillknives.com/our-knives/urban-series/cager-1410.html today.
Nice knife ! I like a drop point vs., say, a tanto point for general use. Good call, Well Seasoned , me likey !
Very nice general purpose fixed blade. I also like the drop point. I have never been a fan of the tanto point!. Equally important to the shape of the blade, is the shape of the handle. That one looks to do well!
Just wondering, my curiosity is piqued. Skimmed this thread and not much mention of Cold Steel brand of knives or talk of the s35vn steel they use. I don't have an ounce of hands on with them. Kinda looking at a $90 CS Recon-1 clip point for an edc. It is a bigger edc at 5.3" closed, 9.3" open and something like 5.4 oz. How big is too big for edc in your opinion?
My Kershaw Blur is the absolute maximum for me. 3.375" blade, 7.88 open, 4.5" closed. It begins to inhibit my hand in and out of that pocket (I always clip carry) on some jeans.
I've just recently got used to carrying 3 1/2 inch blades, from 3 inch blades that I normally carried, so I would find that particular model a tad too large, but that's just me so YMMV. I only have one Cold Steel knife, the American Lawman (in CTS-XHP sometimes referred to as "a stainless d2" steel), so my knowledge of that brand is a little lacking. However, s35vn is a good steel and from what I hear, Cold Steel does a decent heat-treatment of it.
I splurged a bit. My first Benchmade: 940 Osborne. Like it so far. Hope the Benchmades are as good as their reputation. Sent from my SM-G930VL using Tapatalk
Nice. I always wanted a 940-1 but up here they are a little too spendy for my rather humble assets. However, I did grab a 940-1601 from Cabela's when they were on sale so I finally got my CF Benchmade.
Found this on the worldwideweb, i reckon most of you learned how to handle a knife from Dad - so did I. Still like the idea of this here.
I carry a cheap Gerber "para-frame " folding knife , oh wait . Not sure if it is a knife , chisel or prybar. It gets abused. Not in love with it so don't mind beating it up and if I loose it I won't loose any sleep over it. Amazing on how much it gets used.
