I posted a thread like this on my other forum, but TPB seems like a great place or even better.

I love knives, hatchets, and axes. I always have a EDC (every day carry) in my pocket plus my razor knife when I'm working. Thought I'd start a thread about the knives you recommend, your EDCs, your for fun, your splurge, your technical, for work, blades for camping or the woods, or even for protection.

I've had a CRKT flipper forever, and have bought the same one when I've lost it. I've forgotten the name and will post the name and pic tomorrow, but it wasn't expensive and takes a beating.

Just purchased a red (will help when I place it down and forget where plus Go Dawgs) CRKT CEO Flipper. Reviews were good for it as a EDC, and under $65 so not a splurge.

I also have a CRKT (I like their stuff obviously) Odr Black axe. Nice to keep handy in my ride and I take camping as well. Works nicely to break ground up if needed due to pick axe backside, and its' sharp axe blade works well making fire starter.

For work I have several push button razor knives, but carrying lots of weight gets old so recently bought Rivery MFG Zero Utility Knife with the grenade pattern for grip. I'm loving it so far except when changing the blade which takes a second to figure out again.

What are y'all using or wanting to buy?

 
I carry a Strider SnG.
Too lazy to go upstairs and grab a pic, but I’ve carried it for about 15-16 years.
Great knife.
 
I've got the $10 ozark trail from Walmart

Paid $6 for mine! It's my "truck knife".

I've got a variety of EDC pocket knives. My son gifted me with a couple of Benchmade knives for Father's Day last year, and there's a smaller, lighter one with G7 grips that I really like as my go-to. I carry the larger one when I'm in the woods in a pocket, along with my "splurge" knife - a Dozier - on my belt.

I EDC a Leatherman Juice SC2. A couple years ago, I lost my old Juice S2 to TSA when I forgot to leave it at home. 😅 Leatherman discontinued the Juice line and doesn't make anything comparable, so no obvious replacement. I tried out a couple other options like the SOG Powerpint, but it was ass compared to my old Leatherman. So I ended up going on eBay and overpaying for a used Juice - still the best for its size.
 
Had an HK model close to the p30 knife before i lost it (maybe stolen) in a move. That thing was fucking tits. Button lock assisted knife with half the blade serrated, small profile with great blade strength. May have been when HK and Bench made were collaborating. Was probably an $80 knife a decade ago that performed like a $200 knife.

Pick of the Discontinued HK P30, similar profile but mine was a button lock and did not have the texture grip.

Those fuckers stole my leatherman wave from my bag on a flight to Chicago.

This thing has been though the wringer.
I’ve lost it twice, and rejoiced when I found it both times.

It has a carbon steel blade (z-wear) that’s really easy to sharpen. I’ve had stainless knives that have been a giant pain in the ass to sharpen.

I beat the shit out of it.
It’s always pulled through.

Nice knife. The modern stainless in many knives has improved, both with getting sharp and holding edges.
 
I forgot about a couple of fixed blades. I keep a Morakniv Garberg survival knife in my 'get home' bag. It's more of a woodcraft knife that I've used to "improve the sightline" on a deer stand or two. Pretty tough unit. Stock photo of said Garberg below:

My favorite knife - and it's not even close - was carried by my Godfather and my Uncle Floyd, who was a WWII Marine in the Pacific theater. He "saw action" on a couple of the meat grinder islands and was actually in-country in Japan when they surrendered ... and like a lot of men from that generation, he never talked about it. It's oiled and sharp AF and safely secured in my gun safe. I also have his sharpshooter medals and other Marine pins that he simply gave me - no questions asked - for a Boy Scout project when I was around 11 years old. Incredible man, and I legit miss him.

I've also got some old cavalry swords and a couple of bayonets in there that my BIL acquired before his death - no idea of their origin story but they're also sharp AF and I'd hate like hell to get stuck by either of them. I can post pics tomorrow if anyone wants to see 'em.

I had my great great grandfather's Civil War bayonet, and gave to 2nd cuz who has kids he can pass on to. I actually have a lot of that kind of stuff I'm passing on to different cousins to keep in family. Guns are the tricky one, and kids have to be old enough for me to know if I trust them with them.
