what EDC blade would you use?

[Peccatus]

Im looking for a new EDC blade I had a kershaw leek but the Liner lock keeps giving out on me and I dont wana accidently lose a finger from it.. any ideas on a new knife?.. thanks

Crkt m-16....

I am actually considering one with a spear point. dont really like the tanto or serr.

[Echo2]

Mine has served me well....

[Peccatus]

how are the serrations?. ever since i had my kershaw Blur Ive hated serrations.

[Echo2]

They are what they are....I cut a lot of cord and rope at work....so I deem them necessary....

I'd rather have serrations on my folder and my fixed blade to be smooth....

ahh the Bk2 Id rather get the BK7 but I heard the sheath is junk.. If it came with a Kydex or hard plastic id get the 7, and have you ever used the BK2 for batoning wood at all?

sheath mod

The BK-7 is a good knife....thinner though.

seems like a hell of a knife, was curious about the handles on it though. how would they stand up to some abuse? think theyd manage well? or would I be best to remove em' and just use some 550?

CRKT m-16 or Spyderco Endura

The handles are some of the most comfortable I've used....they are how ever injected molded plastic...and when wet....slippery.

They do offer quite a few different materials. I'm checking with a local company to see how much it would be to have a set (or 100) cast from aluminum.....There is a small foundry near my shop.

Also....if you pulled the handles....the sheath would have nothing to lock to.

I currently carry a Leatherman 2.9" liner lock. It has a very 'open' construction and picks up coins and such in my pocket. Plan to switch to a Cold Steel 3" plain edge Voyager when I have the money.

Echo,
Does the metal on the back of the sheath contain any iron? If so, it could cause the compass to give a false reading.

nope....all aluminum....well....one brass screw.....I do have to remove the knife to use....and it is quite accurate.
