Not that I carry it (I still have my battered old Benchemade CQC-7 from 1995) but I got my son a CRKT M21-12 as a retirement gift.

He's been carrying the damn thing everywhere for the past few days. :)

My daily pocket knife is a 10 year old Spyderco Endura. Still love the ergonomics of it, and it takes a beating. Cut a tire off of a rim, and its still sharp. My fixed blade is a SOG Seal Pup.....like it so far, but havent used it enough to really get a feel for it.

what i carry

I carry the CRKT M16-14SF Its durable quick to open small enough to carry and big enough to use. I own 2 one i carry to work been used for cutting cardbored to small metal . and the other i carry for everyday.

This arrived for Christmas. (Sorry Sgt Stringer, I lifted this pic off your post for convenience)

The exact same knife. 7" blade, tan leather hilt and sheath with EGA. I've been wearing it everyday. I ordered it from Ranger Joes.

It feels good. Really good.

Very nice cecil. I have the M16-13z

Bump.

Any new toys?

Here's the loot smuggled back into WA from the Oregon Custom Knife Show back in April...

9 Knives, 1 stone, knife repair tool, 2 flashlights and some awesome wood! (it's the background for the shots)

I still haven't had the nerve to total up the cost of THAT trip.

I'm a knife whore. I'll admit it. I carry a Gerber on my hip everyday, a benchmade 9050SBK on my vest, a CRKT Ultima on the bottom of my aid bag that stays in the truck, and an M7 Bayonet on my leg rig. the pig sticker bayonet is really just for show.... the iraqis tend to leave me alone when i wear it, much like they don't fuck with a guy who has a shotgun or a pistol in his hands. last tour i carried the gerber, the benchmade, the CRKT and a Kabar exactly like the one 762 and Cecil have.... the CRKT was my crash knife on my ALSE gear - I wasn't issued the spiffy rescue knife the other kids got. the Kabar stayed dutifully on my aid bag in a kydex sheath instead of leather, and my benchmade and gerber were on my hip. being a ground pounder this tour makes me miss my chicken plates and ALSE vest.

ETA: I have yet to reply to this poll because there is no selection for "all of the above"

I have a Buck/Strider SBMF for everyday stuff, a Victorinox swiss tool for fixing needfixin things and a Chris Reeve 5.5" Green Beret for when I really want to stab things.

I carry a 21" Asp around for the reasons you carry the M-7 Helodoc, I found illiterate savages may not know what a CS can or a scat round will do to them but they all know what a length of pipe round the knee will do.

 

[HeloMedic1171]

that's a good damn idea, Mac. thanks for the tip.

... a Chris Reeve 5.5" Green Beret for when I really want to stab things...

Mr Harsey, the designer, will be really hurt you only use it for stabbing... :doh:

I'll tell him a Kiwi got a hold of one of his knives. I'm sure that will make him happy! And if you ever get in the PNW, bring it along, we'll take ya down to meet him and he can make a few scratches on it, just so you can say you've met him. ;)

That would be awesome LL.

The last time I used it was to skin and bone an 8 point red stag my bud dropped with an AI AW. I'll find the pic after work.

I have a Desert Operator CRT I bought at EMS for $35...excellent knife. Cargo pocket.

I have a US Government Issue pocket knife the most basic piece of equipment you can find and is worth it's weight in gold. Goes in a front pocket on a dummy cord.

Gerber Multiplier...lots of use out of it and it stays in my tac vest.

Gerber folder, lightweight thin, serrated and plain edge. I bough that one at clothing sales. That goes in my BDU pocket or inside my shirt.

I have a K-Bar that has US Army instead of USMC but it just stays in a drawer.

I had a pilot survival knife, traded it as a gift.

SOG Multitool is the heat. The issue Gerber multi-tools weren't too good.

Carried a gerber folder in Ranger School, lost in one night in the PB, but was rewarded with a CRKT folder at the next PB. Gotta love Dahlonega :)

I also carried one of the Schrade "old timer" knives with the two blades. Awesome, stayed sharp, small, and versatile. Lost in OIF 05-06

Yep, something similar to this was what I found in MTNs in 06 after I lost my gerber. Still have it although it needs to be cleaned. Some genius thought it would be good to use for cutting sticky food during a field exercise.

I am thinking about purchasing the Benchmade Nimravus. Any suggestions/thoughts?

Kershaw Onion/Tactical Blur. Good knife, around 60 bones.

 

[Blue]

I carry a Kershaw Cyclone 1630ST with me most of the time.

 

[x SF med]

This is occasionally on the pocket... yup both of them... The coin was given to me by someone I used to serve with and reconnected with a couple of years ago.

The Harsey/Lone Wolf D2... signed, of course... The 'magic knife' if you know the secret about it...
