Your Most Used Blade?

[ACP230]

Mine is a small Browning lockback.
I carried it as my second knife for years. Now that I most often carry a .38 Special snub, the Browning is my primary blade. It is a good-looking knife with stainless blades, brass bolsters and dark wooden handles.

It has a two and three quarter inch locking main blade and a two-inch second blade. The shorter one is useful for opening letters, cutting tape, etc. I have used the locking one while skinning and cutting up deer. I use a Buck Folding Hunter also, but the Browning comes in handy there too.

What knife do you have with you almost all the time?

 

[Ol' Badger]

Well that depends. I have a SAK in my poke bag that I use for eating or cutting fruit or opening cans (Tuna and Beer Bottles).

My beater is a Cold Steel med. Tanto that I got here for 15 dollars. I'm not afraid to abuse it on silly stuff.

I'm just to fond of my nicer knives to use them on anything other than opening up people. Thus they stay in the safe and the CS gets all the carry time.

An old Uncle Henry lockblade. It does the fingernail cleaning/screwdriver/boxcutter/abusive duty.

I usually keep another knife reserved for cutting flesh.

[SteelyDan]

My most-used knife is the Swiss Army knife in my car, and its use is usually limited to the toothpick function after stopping at a fast-food place.

I am not proud to admit this.

What knife do you have with you almost all the time?

I keep two with me at all times. My EDC knife is a Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556. The other is a small 1.5" blade that is on a Leatherman Squirt P4 multi-tool.
Both get there share of use and abuse.

Lately, a SAK Hercules. Before that, a series of other SAKs.

 

[Penforhire]

Exacto #1 with #11 blade. Seriously. I use 'em all the time at work and in hobbies at home.

But I suspect you're more interested in my usual carry knife: Benchmade drop-point mini-Griptilian.

 

[TrapperReady]

Benchmade... these days usually a mini-AFCK (plain-edge, liner-lock), although I normally prefer my mini-Griptilian (drop-point, plain-edge, AXIS-lock version).

I'm switching back and forth some, trying to figure out if I really prefer tip-up or tip-down carry.

There's an old Chicago Cutlery (103S) utility knife that I use all the time for stuff like eating. I've used it daily for about 15 years. It gets the nod for most used. Of my carry knives, that would be the BM 940 that was my EDC until a couple weeks ago.

 

[Plinkerton]

Benchmade Mel Pardue 722. Half serrated, axis lock. Best Knife Ever.

 

[Pawcatch]

Eriksson #510 is my most used knife,but since it's a fixed blade I don't carry it everwhere.

 

[mainmech48]

A.G. Russell "FeatherLite" one hand folder with the general purpose blade. Flat, light (1.5 oz.) and always in my pocket.

 

[41mag]

I carry a wee little Spyderco.I havent the foggiest what model.It's 3.375 closed & 5.75 open.Fully skeletonized blade & handle.Because its sooo lite it's the first blade I've ever carried consistently.Weighs less than my pen & does the job on boxes & food.
Wish I could find another....

 

[ACP230]

The most recent use of my Browning knife.

I used the smaller of the blades to open a box of 1,000 rounds of PMP .223.
Then went off to sight in a rifle.

Without the blade I might still be knawing on that shipping carton!

 

[glockman99]

I carry 2 knives and 2 multi-tools everyday:

Benchmade 805 (My "defensive/offensive" folder)
Benchmade 721s (My "utility" folder)
SOG Deluxe Pocket PowerPlier
SOG CrossCut

 

[fjolnirsson]

Cold Steel Vaquero Grande.
I've had it four years and it's never let me down. Cardboard, yardwork, string, nylon strapping, hard plastic stuff they put electronics in, even used it several times for light carpentry work. Scared the Hel out of the guy dumb enough to pull a boxcutter on me.
My weakside blade is another Cold Steel. Pro lite folder with a tanto blade. Had it a little over a year, and it's great so far.
I also carry a Leatherman Supertool.

 

[Ringer]

Benchmade Mini Griptilian. Pretty much always in my pocket and takes care of my daily cutting needs. It's handy and holds a nice edge.

 

[agony]

Spyderco Delica.

Been an always-carry for several years, and has served well.
Though the AUS8 steel is not long on holding an edge.

 

[Devonai]

Emerson Benchmade 4" tanto folder.

 

[George Hill]

Hmmm... still my Kershaw Boa for most things... bigger tasks get handled by my Recon Tanto.

 

[JohnBT]

1. Sebenza

2. keychain SAK with scissors and tweezers for splinter removal

Usually close at hand is a Polish Army Knife in the glove box. Really, it's like a SAK, but it has an eagle on it and the blade says "Made in Poland". You never know when someone will need a bottle opener or corkscrew.

SAK, hands down

I got the Tinker Plus or Tinker II or whatever the heck it's called.

Small blade and emergency blade get the most duty. The wire stripper/reamer comes in handy, too.
