I couldn't pick one so... Went with clip point on the Isonzo.

How is the MKM treating you Seul?

New Spyderco day around here

[endo]

that's an interesting, and beautiful knife @Anesthetist what's its purpose and is it foldable?

[SKT]

I like that one too Matt. I’ve never been able to jive with the forward finger choil on most Spyderco knives. This model would solve that.

[gazza61]

what do you guys think about a rockstead or ferraby knifes

[Anesthetist]

@endo this is the Lil Temperance, it is a folder with Spyderco’s compression lock. It was originally designed for MBC but this iteration is more a super heavy duty folder. It is a TANK.

My EDC pocket knife

Happily resides in my jeans now. First MICROtech, but will likely not be the last. Perhaps I’ll learn up on better items to carry, but this gives my protech and benchmade a rest.

Also, purchased and carried in CA…

A few weeks ago a bill was passed in the state which allows open carry for blades that were once banned…automatics, butterflies, etc.

Picked up a few autos that I’ll test and use at work - Microtech (middle) & Boker (far right). The Chavez 229 (far left) was on sale for $199 so got one for me & one for my dad. Already used the 229 in the photo which handled some odds and ends beyond boxes and packages when my utility knife was mia at work - cutting/scoring material such as wood, drywall, straps, shims, rope, vinyl, etc. Handled everything like a champ.

I don’t care for technicalities when it comes to what blades are used for what, if it’s sharp and it’s meant to cut I’m going all in.

Just got a maxamet para 3 and had to slap some micarta on there, MXG titanium clip. Sanded the corners, super smooooth.

@RoxRocks86 excellent choices

That Microtech OTF, I'm slightly jealous of! California will not let me have fun with that knife, or that other auto (probably)

The Chaves is a great conversation piece! My niece thought the skull clip was Jack Skellington and kept asking me where his mouth was :p

Very nice, and also a lil jealous

[deadendpro]

@iamjustdanny depending on where you are at, you might be able to find a dealer willing to work with you. I got my perhaps-not-so-allowed edc at Pier 39 in SF, which is def not a kosher city to buy in. And unless you get into it with someone(s) else, it might not ever be an issue. I’m hoping to get a full sized microtech soon, but my grail knife is still a sabenza.

Yep. To my knowledge, it's not too hard to find someone willing to sell one to me. Basically, you can own it, just can't carry it.

You know I don’t frequently find myself showing my pocket contents to the police. I’m sure you could get away with it. And even if you were stopped for it which I’d have to imagine is extremely unlikely, what would they do?

[sabergirl]

Probably ticket and/or confiscate. I’ve often thought that one could proclaim ignorance of specific knife carry laws and get away with a lot. Depending on the cop. And the color of your skin, of course.

[Matt]

When I was a cop there was a law against blades over 3”. I never even considered asking anyone about the size of their knife. Unless of course it was being pointed at me but even then I’d just shoot them. If they lived then maybe it write them a ticket. ‍️

[iamjustdanny]

@Matt That's sort of what I figured. I haven't been hassled or asked by the cops to show my pocket contents to them.

You're probably right in that I could get away with it.
