Any fellow survivalists utilize their truck?

For price, the Gerber is good. Since you were wanting a 6", I'd recommend Chris Reeve, Spartan Knives or Randall; all which come at a premium.

Also check Ebay. These knives can take abuse and you can always send it to the manufacturer for resharpening and deburring for a small fee.

 

My everyday carry is a benchmage griptillian, half serrated. I use it for everything and I've found that its the best work knife I've ever used. In my GHB I have a benchmade Nimravus, also have a small ESEE and a SAK. I keep a SOG SealPup Revolver in the truck for emergencys.

 

I've been looking hard at Blind Horse Knives for a bushcraft/camping knife to supplement my SRK. Anyone ever dealt with them or used their knives?

Specifically this model:

blind horse makes a very nice blade.

 

keep in mind s30v is going to be hard to resharpen when it eventually gets dull. s30v is awesome when done by some companies but, imo i like 1095 crovan for an easy to sharpen blade out in the bush especially if it was going to be an extended stay in the wilderness.

 

everyday use is a ka-bar folding half serrated.

this thing stays in the truck. a friend of my moms custom makes knives and sent me this one when i was doing a tour in afghanistan. i was always around ancop and ana soldiers, and you never can trust em so this was just some added protection attached to my plate carrier. /Users/adamlauver/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2011/08/12/20110812-122512/DSCF0304.JPG

well that didnt work. how do i add photos? i cant just copy and paste the picture?

 

lol

 

i figure it out. i got to upload to tacomaworlds gallery then copy the link from there. kind of a hassle but whatever. their gallery is down so ill get pics up of the knife soon.

 

the knife will mainly stay in the truck and go with me when i am in the woods/camping and what not. my roommates bro is in the marine core and when he finished boot camp he bought my roommate a kabar on base for like 5 bucks or something. i am trying to see if he can hook me up with one cause i love the feel of that knife. thanks for all the suggestions guys!

 

My EDC..http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_lgshot.asp?sku=pd1030

 

Past EDCs:

• Kershaw Leek - first one's spring broke. Kershaw replaced it. Too thin to do much but open letters, so it's retired.
• Benchmade VEX - great knife, G10, good steel, made in China. I'm fully convinced that BM discontinued it because it was eating into sales of their more $$ knives at its $40 price point. Still keep it in the truck usually.
• Spyderco Harpy - very cool knife in theory. All stainless and fully serrated. Slick as snot though, and not good for much other than shredding stuff when you want a nice clean cut. Retired.
• Cold Steel Ti-Lite - neat knife, flicks out quick, new ones have AUS 8 steel which is better than the steel mine came with. Still, I don't carry it much.

Current EDC is a Spyderco Endura4 with Wave feature. Flicks out instantly, great steel, wicked sharp, light, large, durable. The only thing it won't do well is pry. Wicked knife for EDC and does great work on boxes and mail too.

Trying to talk myself out of an Emerson CQC-10 for a bigger blade when I can't carry a gun. Seems like a good drop point blade (plain edge for me please), nice steel, thick, with G10 scales. We'll see if I pick one up or not.

 

Any of you read or hear about the guy in Alaska that went out driveing in his Tacoma and got stuck for 3 days and only had frozen beer to eat lol . First off why would you be in tennis shoes ? driveing in a snow storm in Alaska and a cheap 30 dollar jacket . Made me think of this thread . You never know when you just mite need some stuff .

 

heres the knife my moms friend made for me. he does all his own work. the sheath is custom fitted to the knife by a fella he knows. it locks the blade in real nice so you can mount it upside down. the whole time i was in afghanistan i had it mounted up side down on my plate carrier since i was always working with ana and ancop soldiers.

 

that's nice. does he sell them or just kind of a hobby?

 

^^it's nice to see there are still some genuinly good people out there in this F'd up world we live in, thanks for your service

 

yea he sells them. he will custom make whatever you want. his website is www.rtcustomknives.com

 

That is a beautiful knife. It looks extremely well made and it's always nice to have the personal touch on something like that.

I am not a huge fan of kydex sheaths, but the green looks really great.

cheers
