Question For The Knife Aficionados

CPTLA999 · 10-04-2005, 08:40 PM

Would you consider an Auto or spring assisted? I could suggest a few.

Jedunnigan · 10-04-2005, 08:44 PM

Those are fine...The only fold out I don't want is a butterfly.

slateman · 10-04-2005, 09:33 PM

For a folding knife, I suggest you check out Columbia River Knife and Tool. Their M-16 selection is great and won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Jedunnigan · 10-04-2005, 09:42 PM

Wow, thanks for the idea. Those are some really nice knives. Lots of models to choose from, I will be looking at that site for awhile.

how come ?

I dont know much about knives, but the one I have right now is a benchmade mini-griptilian somethin or other. Its my fishing knife and the blade is still perfect, hasnt rusted or anything. Some knives I remember liking were the Ti-Lite (sp). Its like a stiletto lookin thing spring assist. Its pretty cool but I dunno about as a camping knife. Also a certain Kershaw with this wierd finish, I think titanium oxide or something but not sure. Its like the purple shiny kinda psychedelic lookin
thing and and spring assist also.

Don't get me wrong....they are ****ing awsome. Mainly because they arnt very useful for my purpose. I'm not buying the knife to flail it around and show off. I mean if I end up buying a really cheap knife I might get a benchmade 42, but it's not on my top priority list.

PyroElf · 10-04-2005, 10:02 PM

Cant go wrong with a benchmade.

I own/owned many diffrent CRKT knives, the ones that get the most use now are my Lightfoot M1 in M1-13K style and my M16 "Special Forces" in "Big Dog" size.. I use the latter the most, it is perfect for outdoor usage. I use it mostly on my hunting property and my ranch in Texas. It's a perfect size for doing alot of hard labor. Many of my hunting buddies use a CRKT Ryan Model 7. That is a really nice knife, but I like blades that arent so large unless I am carrying my Ontario Tak-1 Serrated (another great non-folding work knife). SOG makes very nice knifes too, my favorite SOG folder is the SOG Trident, which is a totally kick *** knife.
Look at some of them and get back to us soon!

I can personally vouch for the CRKT line. I'm currently using an M16-14T which has a really nice set of titanium grips. Definately consider anything from CRKT.

Get a benchmade.

To that kid who said get an HK knife, don't.
Their guns are good but they outsource their knives to Boker. Boker makes good knives, but your paying an extra price for pretty much a standard Boker knife because it has the HK logo on it.

If you're going to buy a Boker might as well just actually buy one, rather than paying for all the mark up on a "Cool" HK version.

Just get a Benchmade.

I'd suggest CRKT as well. I've been carrying the VanHoy Snap Lock for almost a year now. I use it almost on a daily basis. It has held up great, and looks cool.
They just introduced the Snap Lock 2, it's the same thing just smaller.

DukeNukem · 10-05-2005, 11:23 AM

IMO Benchmade knives are way too expensive and overrated. I'd suggest a Kershaw assised opening lockblade.

Hathegkla · 10-05-2005, 12:19 PM

I like gerber, Krenshaw CRKT and spyder co, all good. I'd recommend Krenshaw or CRKT over the others.

DukeNukem · 10-05-2005, 12:38 PM

Hatkegkla - I've never heard of Krenshaw. Do you mean Kershaw? Or Crenshaw? Also, the statement in your signature could be pretty inflammatory. I'm not very religious at all, but it still bothers me when people employ anti-semetism, anti-christianity, or other forms of pointless or unwarranted hatred towards a specific group. If hatred of a well-known religious figure is your inspiration to play a sport, then (despite how strange that is) all the power to you. Just don't go around with something inflamatory like that while you do so. I realize we live in a country where freedom of speech is taken at every point of opportunity. How about taking a little freedom of common sense along with it?

Looks nice, but I doubt it will last for very long.

Cool knife, dont like the design. I wouldn't try a knife of that shape before I bought one.
