Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[DougNg]

Btw, the Delica has been around for 20 years, but the Delica 4 has only been around for a handful. It's had a number of improvements over the years. It's a very evolved design

[Seul]

I read about their CQI…

If you're interested in Japan made knives, I've had some positive experiences with Al Mar Knives as well. They make very slim, light knives in their ultralight line, and the Shrike is one of the sharpest knives out of the box I've ever seen for a production piece

[Seul]

Very classic designs on those Al Mars… Nice stuff... Gonna look into it some more... You're really NO help when it comes to me trying not to buy knives, D…

• Sebenza: your fault (eternally grateful)
• Kershaws: your fault (fun buggers!)
• Delica: your fault (can't wait!)

You need a Victorinox Tinker

[Seul]

Used to carry one as a kid (11-12)… Wouldn't know what to do with one these days... 

[DougNg]

Big blade for food, little blade for opening packages

Screwdriver for tightening stuff up/scraping crap out of the treads of boots

Bottle opener so you don't have to carry one on your keys

Can opener can also be used as a hook for out of reach wires, also has a small screwdriver

Awl for pilot holes for screws

Phillips head screwdriver…for driving screws

Tweezers for splinters, stray hair that a razor missed

Toothpick

Small pin for blisters/opening up jammed cd-rom drives/resetting small electronics with a reset hole

Lanyard for using your Swiss Army Knife as a mace on the head of the guy that didn't come prepared for most anything

For all Chris Reeve supporters

That guy is a complete idiot

Destruction tests like Noss really piss me off

All the engineering that goes into knives, and the guy attempts to discredit the value of the knives when he uses knives in stupid ways

Splitting wood by whacking the spine of a knife is appropriate only if you are a complete moron. Taking a sledgehammer to the spine of a knife is beyond my comprehension

By his definition of what defines a "tough knife", I have an 80lb kettlebell at home that is a better knife

Gentlemen, this is precisely why you should avoid getting kicked in the balls too often, you'll wind up with kids like this

@DougNg:

No scientific or any other merit to this test indeed.

[DougNg]

Not just that, but the "tests" aren't even valid. Why would you baton logs like that? Because you don't have an axe or a saw handy? How the hell would you have logs in the first place then?!? And whacking a sharp knife like that is asking for an accident.

These videos are for people with no real experience working with their knives

One of my friends got me this knife as a present. Fucking badass knife.

DPx HEST w/Micarta handle

[derivative666]

Sic

[TJ]

A friend of mine just got one of those today, too.  Pretty rad.

[daveo]

Anyone have any feedback on the HEST 2.0 folder?

Spyderco Caly3 super blue steel… Mmmm... 

[llvlaglne]

Every so often I either witness or am the first responder to a motor vehicle accident or some kind of accident. Was looking for any multitool that would be super reliable. I am trying to look for something that has a glass breaker, a blade and safety cutter that can easily shred open seat belts or clothing.

Was looking at a benchmade auto triage as an option but open to suggestions.

Brother seul, hope you can help me out

if you are not doing this in a professional capacity I wouldn't be breaking glass and extracting incapacitated victims from cars
call 911 and do what you feel you must but don't get in over your head

I was looking for something for one of the compartments in my vehicle for emergency purposes. As a nurse according to the Good Samaritan act its one of my duties to act accordingly in a situation. Every second counts in these matters and if stowing something small in my vehicle like a rescue tool… Whether it be a first aid kit or an ambu bag.... It all helps. Sometimes it takes a ridiculous amount of time for paramedics to arrive to the location... If they can find it. Situations like that.... Whether you take the initiative or not, you can be that difference.
