Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

This is the most accurate as far as color that I've seen of the Ripple. This one is the Ripple 2, but you get the idea. My camera won't pick up the colors right for some reason

I ended up getting a Kershaw Cryo and a Kershaw Scallion with a red anodized aluminum handle for $66.66 shipped. Maybe a carbon fiber blur or G10 leek will be next.

[DougNg]

I'm not the biggest fan of the Scallion, it's fucking tiny. The Cryo is really nice

The only problem with the Cryo is that…eventually you'll want a bigger Hinderer...=)

Check out the Zero Tolerance 0560

Main reason why I fucking love it, but you also know why  ::)

[urbanwoodsman]

Yeah, I just wanted a smaller knife, really dont own one. Maybe I'll wait for the Cryo II…

[Jii]

[urbanwoodsman]

@daynym:

Special thx to Eli. I found a 25oz worthy knive to carry around

Please don't take this as criticism, but I really don't understand the whole knife-carrying 'thing'.

I'm just a peace-loving dude who grew up in a peaceful place and time, so it baffles me why so many people take knives around with them. In any case, it's illegal here as well.

Help me understand the interest.

BTW, some awesome looking pics here lately.

The problem is that you only see a knife as a weapon. It's not. It's a tool. It's man's oldest tool.

If you don't need a knife, don't carry one. But at least in my day to day life, I use it to open boxes, letters, cut tape, cut bindings, dig things out of hard to reach places (gravel out of my boot/splinter out of my hand), cut food (and I work in an office, not a blue collar job or anything particularly outdoorsy). I use mine all the time. I get particularly annoyed when another guy asks to borrow mine. For me, being a man means being prepared for what life throws at you. A knife is a good tool to make other improvisational tools as well.

Hell, even my wife keeps a small one in her purse, and I routinely have to sharpen it for her

There's a saying around here "If you're wearing pants, you've got a knife in your pocket"

[joesaintjohn]

Doug, I'm the same way. I feel naked if I don't have a knife. It's as if I'm not ready for what life might toss my way.

[RocknRoll]

Looks like I'm living a sheltered life.  :-\

RnR, I really wasn't into carrying knifes like a year ago or so…looking back at that time and looking at the time now, carrying one, I really have to say that I don't want to miss my knife one single day anymore!
it really comes in just way too handy since it's the perfect tool to help you through the different situations a day has to offer (check Doug's post!)...so when i sometimes find myself without my knife, i have to say that i somehow feel "naked"...it's just a weird feeling to me! may sound a bit weird but yeah, that's the case

[madao]

wonderful

[Giles]

I don't feel naked when I don't carry one, it just pisses me off when I have to break open cartons etc, with a coin or a key…...

[davito]

RnR no prob. As peaceful as we are in swizzy, real Swiss carry a Swiss Army knife ;). As a tool not as weapon like Doug described correctly

Carrying a knife makes me want to stab people in the neck. Not carrying one would disable me from doing so.

Have you told your therapist about this urge?
