Folding knife for every day carry?

I think you’re looking at the choil like part of the blade. It’s an extra finger groove, allows more control. The cutting edge would be forward of that (towards the top). Both are part of the blade itself.

 

Believe me, I am well acquainted with knife terminology. I have a large collection of knives. I’ve just never seen this model of Kershaw and was wondering if the blades were always that stubby. I like the knives.

 

Oh okay, wasn’t sure.

 

I am a big fan of the Kershaw Brawler

On sale theyve been sub $15. I've bought several

$34 Kershaw Brawler Pocketknife, 3" 8Cr13MoV Steel Modified Tanto Blade, Assisted Folder Opening with Flipper, Liner Lock System, Tactical EDC

Yeah. No offence taken! Nothing worse than knife snobs.

 

I hope they get lice.

 

You sometimes get flack for being “that guy”, but I do love the Sebenza. Been a most-days pocket companion for many years. Just a very durable and simple design. Cost of ownership goes down with each day!

 

Love my CRKT Pilar! Cheap enough to replace but yet a very solid blade.

 

I prefer fixed blades, but having tried near a hundred different folders over the years the Kershaw Leek will always be the only folder I carry or recommend for light duty and ease to carry

 

Had to do some whittling today.

boom!

 

That's just Dirty.

 

I have an opinel No 07 I carry everyday. I have the carbon blades so it's super easy to sharpen has a locking blade. Made in france, not china and cost $15

Used to carry a case sodbuster jr with carbon blades and it's also a very nice knife for the money, made in the usa too. Its really hard to find one with a locking blade.

 

I like durty.

 

@people who said benchmade and spyderco, OP said under 50 bucks

 

Kershaw Link-Tanto is my EDC. I keep a Kershaw Cryo in my truck and in my tackle box.

 

Benchmade mini griptilian. Pretty nice little knife for carrying everyday. I did call Benchmade and bought a different pocket clip that lets the knife sit deeper in the pocket.

 

Great knife. I have 2. One with the clip for the right pocket and the other set up for the left pocket.

 

I have the urge to buy one of these. Benchmade mini crooked river. I don’t need it, I just want it.

 

I have a

$240 Benchmade 940 EDC Knife with Green Handle (940)

Benchmade 940 Osbourne. They are pretty pricey but you're not going to beat the quality. Once in a while they'll pop up used on ebay if you're looking for a cheaper one otherwise they run around $150 retail.

 

For decades I carried a variety of folding knives. But age and arthritis have reduced my dexterity. These days I prefer a 3 to 4 inch fixed blade.
