Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Those are all nice. I've got a 940, but its just the old green and purple.

 

Thats some good advice, right there

 

Traded a Sage 5 for it. It's has a "cheap" feeling to it. But I love it because it's super lightweight. Also, I really like 154cm steel. I'd take it everyday if I could. All these new Super Steels are a b%#ch to sharpen.

 

I had the green and purple 940 and it was part of my "never trade" group. But.... I traded it to a guy here on TW. Being a knife guy is an addiction.

Guess I'll keep this thread alive

 

Another CRK Sebenza 21 in SF. Pretty sweet looking piece!

 

Nothing special. But it's my edc.

 

Big boy

 

Except for calling CRK (which you can do), I managed to find a small inkosi with my dad's birth date.

 

I sent my Benchmade in to be resharpened 5 weeks ago and they have not returned it yet.thats the last Benchmade for me. Kershaw for me. Screw benchmade.

 

They quote something like 4 weeks for service. Seeing as sharpening is something you can do, I'd say that's not really a reason to say no more KAI products. Just sayin'.

 

I want to try Elmax steel. Very few fixed blades out there. Folders? More.

 

Just pulled the trigger on this... Going to be an EMT soon, its an ungodly sight to have a knife hanging out your side, so I found a way around it... Couple this with 9" boots, it'll fit like a glove, concealed, and outta harms way until needed...

I've worked with dozens and dozens of EMT's and have never known a knife on their side to be an issue. Maybe wait a bit and see what your colleagues carry. Good luck and have fun with it.

 

I bought in a few of these for my EMT buddies. The blade and safety cutter are automatic. Not cheap, but great knives.
Also, the N680 steel won't rust. Similar to the spyderco salt series knives.

Thats pretty sweet, I love the fact that it does't have a sharp point, showing in some proportion that you dont carry it to mean any harm.

I guess thats true, imo it would look out of place due to the fact that you're showing up to save a life, kinda like if an EMT/Paramendic showed up to the scene with a gun holstered to his side; concealed or not it might prove to be counter intuitive and even put you in harms way once they see you with a gun. I could be wrong :/

 

One the local agencies is Public Safety. Not sure how true it is today but members used to go between LE and FF with LE carrying bunker gear in the trunk.

I see a lot of folders in vests or sheaths. I cannot say I've seen fixed blades on medics before-maybe rescue tools but in a sheath.

 

Ugh - after abstaining from knife purchases for a while, I ordered a Strider fixed blade today. Will need to sell something so I can sleep tonight, lol. Pics when it arrives.

 

Oh? FXM 3.5?
