    I sold all my really nice folders when I realized I don’t carry one enough to justify the cost. Today while grocery shopping at Walmart I picked up a couple budget folders just to have something for when I do want it and I’m really impressed.

    Top is the Keyshawn Cryo, a Hinderer design flipper with open assist.

    Bottom is the CRKT Squid, a Burnley design that’s really a cool little knife. Both have great action and smooth steel frames that won’t eat up my pockets.

      Picked up a new CRK Sebenza haven’t had one in years, I grabbed one last week. This is my first time with the new glass blasted. Its sweet! My other Sebenzas I’ve had and sold over the years were sandblasted.

      I might send my Umnumzaan over to get done in this finish too

        @Matt some mass produced knives are built to pretty decent tolerances, certainly good enough to carry and use. One of the knives I really love to carry a cheap Chinese mass manufactured liner lock that came free with a purchase of a ZT flipper from an online seller, but it feels great in the hand, great action/detente, great steel. I wound up using this freebie more than the knife I actually bought. I love my “nice” knives but they really aren’t necessary, and whatever is in my pocket is going to get properly used, and not caring if it is damaged in the process is key… so I’ve shifted my priorities around cutlery for sure.

        Think it, be it.

          My collection, the most carried is the beat up Swiss Army Pioneer with bail, goes great in a 5th pocket.

              @SKT well in that case, I should show you my Spyderco where I replaced the factory micarta:

              That is a thing of beauty @mclaincausey. Reminds me of the older Chris Reeves Mnandis with beautiful wooden scales: ironwood, burl and cocobolo.

                Esee cleaver. This thing is heavy. Chipped the blade on my old cleaver and decided to give this one a try. It’s sharp. Blade gets thick fast.

                  Been carrying an m4 frn para3 for longer than I can remember but decided to try something new. Not sure yet how I feel about the lack of a thumb opening but otherwise really love the action on the machinewise sonora.

                                  @Anesthetist seems like an ideal edc, how does it carry? I’ve always like S30v steel too

                                    My edc. Replaced the last one that I lost in the brush swamping for a wildfire in 2019.

                                      Benchmade kitchen knives. Great gift from the wife a few years ago.
