Post your favourite knife you own
Kizlyar phoenix-2
Really the only knife I own that has some amount of quality to it.
>>28610425
Eyyyyy
Here's mine.
just ordered this guy. anyone else have one?
>>28610411
Is it really good? Considering to order one right now.
Favorite knife I own, you say?
Easy
I've been wanting a Kizlyar for years but I just don't know if it's going to be worth it. I love the simplicity
I bought one of these recently. Haven't taken a pic yet because I'm a lazy bastard. It's a bit thicker than I thought it would be, but it's got a decent taper. The factory edge is meh, definitely gonna need some work.
>>28613093
>double edged
>curved blade
>>28613314
Brother.
>>28610411
Don't know it but I like it.
>>28612337
Shallow guard and recurve, not to my liking. Intended use? Looks like it'd be an okay slicer.
>>28612337
I don't own that knife, but Schrade's new stuff seems pretty decent. Like Condor, they seem to have discovered that there's a big market in between cheesy Chinkshit and moonsteel. I've been considering getting their BK2 knockoff just to see how it is.
>>28610411
nigga please. my shit is custom.
just ordered this CRKT Tighe Rade
god tier

I don't understand clip points. Isn't the dull tip shit for stabbing?
>>28620539
I didn't know there was a religion worshiping dog shit.
>>28620651
i dont generally stab stuff. have a gun for those types of situations. dosn't seem dull though? why would it be?
>>28620686
why, why? w-why tho. be more constructive with your criticism.
muh Spyderco
>idk model
>>28620651
its really not a clip point. more of a tanto.
>>28617749
Bet you wouldn't want to be skewered with it...i sure wouldn't
>>28620936
Are you worried about blade strength with that gaping hole?
>>28620936
>Spyderco
Seriously, why the fuck are these guys still in business when all they sell are small Chinese made folding knives at ridiculous prices?
>>28621199
its sharp as fuck
has a great finish on it
and the locking mechanism is gr8
>>28621212
sounds like my 50 dollar kershaw
>>28621212
>It's sharp as fuck
Irrelevant.
>has a great finish on it
Irrelevant.
>and the locking mechanism is gr8
This still does not excuse these knives costing $200 or more.
For that price I can get a nice fixed blade made from Damascus steel.
And before you say MUCH EDC, there are plenty of alternatives where I don't have to break bank.
>>28621241
>200 dollars or more
>PM2 is 120 bucks
>>28621257
I don't live in America, prices for me are much higher.
>>28610411
Puma's Hunter's Pal
Made in the 60s i think, the leather finally started to die on the holster so my fiend made me a kydex one for it.
Razor sharp, can easily shave with it.
>>28621199
>Chinese made
>literally has Golden, Colorado stamped on the blade
>majority of their knives are made either in the US or Japan
>>28621271
But will it blend?
>>28621275
Spyderco recently switched to manufacturing their knives in China.
>>28621282
>Spyderco recently switched to manufacturing some knives in China.
ftfy
>>28621282
for a few cheaper mondels yes, the vast majority are made in USA and Japan, then taiwan and their taichung plant knows what they are doing
>>28621304
>>28621318
SIDF is in full force today.
>>28621282
>But will it blend?
I've used it to make an impromtu garlic ayyoili once.
So, sure.
>>28610411
Help.
>be cop
>need knife
I found this one, if looks cool.
I really just want a quality knife I can use and abuse and not have to replace anytime soon. But know nothing about knives.
>>28620539
seriously.. why is this bad? that grip.. so comfortable. the edge, holds so well. the sheath is second to none.. why? WHY??
I started buying last week and I have a short list on my phone, so this was just the first to catch my eye. It and the 940-1, but this one wasn't $260. I've got a spyderco pm2 in s35vn on the way and a preorder in for the s110v version. Probably going to grab a CF scaled benchmade once I'm done buying ammo for the month.
>>28621270
That sounds like a personal problem anon.
Pic Related is my fave. Not the best lock, little too heavy, not the best edge geometry, but damn do I love it. Plus dat kershaw s30v heat treat
>>28621282
It even specifies USA, Earth on the goddamned blade. e
>>28621418
Well if you want an auto, Spyderco isn't the most well-known brand in that area. Especially since the Autonomy is around $200, which is enough money to even get a cheaper Microtech.
But if you really like that one, you should find a store that carries one and try it out. I never tried that knife, but I've used one of that company's other automatic knives and the quality was pretty top-tier, felt as smooth as some of the Microtechs my local knife store carries. If you can't, just do whatever the hell you want. It's not shit.
>>28621418
If that's the kind of thing you're looking at get a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. It's been one of the most popular EDC pocket knives for the past few years and is about half the price of the one you posted.
Why is the Persistence a hell of a lot cheaper than the Tenacious in the Tenacious lineup of knives? Wouldn't the top of the lone be the most expensive?
>>28623297
I believe the top is the Resilience. The Persistence and Ambitious are both smaller than the Tenacious.
What do you think of the spyderco hitachi blue stuff. Is the Jap steel worth getting?
>>28621200
How is this dagger? I was thinking about getting one
>>28621241
>For that price I can get a nice fixed blade made from Damascus steel.
bo, you can't. Besides, damascus is a gimmick. Modern powder steel eats damascus for breakfast, then shits it out the back.
And only the lower end models are made in PRC. Some are made in Jap, and the high end stuff comes out of Taichung. And yeah - I live in EU as well.
No, you don't need a high end knife when a 50 dollar kershaw will do just fine for edc. But if you think there is no benefit to get a high quality knife, or that your low end kershaw can match a 150 dollar knife from spy, BM, ZT or any other big name brand, cause "it's just a knife" then you are deluding yourself.
Don't frequent knife threads, so I don't know if he's already been posted before, but I think this guy's videos are pretty neat.

>MPT
I've never been that crazy about the MPT, but I'm a huge fan of Chad Los Banos designs.
>>28620911
>>28621474
It's not that bad, it's just a specialized design. It's like the snubnose pistol of the knife world.
The shorter handle gives you less room to grip, but you get more blade in an easier to carry package.
>>28621241
>costing $200 or more.
>For that price I can get a nice fixed blade made from Damascus steel.
>$200 for damascus
>implying
The best made damascus is charged by the inch. You ain't getting the best damascus for $200.
>>28621418
If I was a cop and could get autos, I'd get the Autonomy because I want one.
H1 is for all intents and purposes rust-proof. It also performs extremely well when serrated. Bit of a learning curve to sharpening serrations, but once you can get your serrations factory-sharp (or sharper), there are very few tasks that you can't do with them that yo ucan do with a plain edge.
Finger grooves provide a very secure grip. They might get annoying if you're doing cutting stuff for a really long time, but I doubt that'd be a factor as a cop.
I like the wire clip because it's very unobtrusive when holding the knife and is pretty low profile, not that it matters for you.
The blade profile makes it difficult to accidentally stab somebody, which I would think is a plus as a first responder.
If you want to go plain edge, the Paramilitary 2 is a good choice. see >>28621980
The eponymous Spyderco Police was designed for cops and would be a solid choice.
The Ulize (pic related) was designed by a German cop and was recently discontinued, so you might be able to get it on sale.

>>28620936
Para-Military 2.
Nice knife, anon.
>>28631440
Love me some Opinels. They're cheap as fuck and even though they don't keep their edge too long they can be sharpened very easily. 10/10 value
Kiku knives are pretty cool. Expensive. I want one some day.
Fucking knifemakers need to acquire some damn sense. In the 2016 shotshow it's all about production knives with stupid ball bearings and prices over $300. Benchmade new catalog is full of axis-ball bearing-flippers, fucking hell.
Knifefags and youtubers need to get their shit together otherwise having a good knife will be almost impossible for someone who has other bills to pay.

Beta knife for alphas only kek
>>28631535
It's pretty fucking stupid, but Kershaw, crkt, coast, buck, and even a lot of chain stores house brands like bass pro's redhead are pretty good for their price point. And then SOG makes good folders for under a hundred as long as you avoid their plastic frames (they deform and lose rigidity)
>>28631535
Really? First world problems eh?
There will always be a good selection of mid priced stuff in the BM range. Their knives are built to last decades. Don't like the expensive offerings? Don't buy them. Can't blame manufacturers for making what people are buying.
>>28632148
>Their knives are built to last decades
No, primarily they're built for maximum profit and there's nothing wrong with that.
>>28621418
You really don't want a serrated knife.
>>28632359
Some are better value than others. The 14460 is God tier for $145. Mine is 8yrs old and gets used daily.
>>28631528
If you want the looks and none of the cost, you can get knock offs on aliexpress.
But yeah, I'd love to own the real deal too, I've thought about getting one of the SOG collaborations since they're actually affordable.
Mora Pro Flex that I sloppily grinded a notch in. My favorite edc. Thin knives rule.
