benchmade Osbourne carbonfiber today
What pocket knife do you carry?

I alternate between a larger clip knife (Benchmade Monochrome) and two smaller knives (Opinel No.5 and a Case Peanut) depending on my attire. I keep a SAK Tinker in my briefcase.
Today, Boker Urban Trapper (Carbon Fiber), nice little knife IMO
I carry a Victorinox Classic SD. I don't typically need to cut large/tough stuff so this works well enough for me most of the time. The main issue I have is with the scales breaking. A set of scales shipped to me is almost as much as a new knife. And the Alox models don't have tweezers or a toothpick, which come in handy surprisingly often. I've picked up a few used but in good shape knives as back-ups. Might as well get something positive out of the TSA seizures I figured.
Picked up this "Gordon Challenger" knife at Harbor Freight for a $5.99 beater ... it gets great reviews!
G-10 scales and 8CR13MOV steel ... truly worth a look.

Of course now that I've decided to get one of these....they're discontinued!
Yeah of course they are! I sold mine, a bushcraft knife caught my eye so I funded it with the Bowie sale. Sweet folder though, I will probably regret it.
I’ve been carrying this mostly lately; it’s a Bradford guardian3 with M390 steel and micarta scales. Perfect EDC imo, I had another version of it and liked it so much I went with this because of the upgraded scales and steel. It’s about all I’ve carried since I bought it. KAD killer? Maybe.
That's a great EDC sized fixed blade. How do you carry it? I can't carry on my belt so stick to folders. I will occasionally stick a fixed blade in a pack or bag, but not as readily accessible obviously.
Here's some more M390 love for today - Reate Horizon D CF. Blade length at 3.75" is at the upper end of what I typically will carry in pocket. It's just such a nice piece though. Do get concerned about the anodized back spacer and pocket clip, since I've chipped other anodized coatings before. But I do carry what I buy, so I deal with it.

Nice Reate! See a lot of those popping up around other forums, I’ve never owned one but they are nice looking knives.
I carry the Bradford in an Armatus Carry sheath which is a large improvement on the leather sheath that it comes with. Keeps it at a cant and concealed nicely under my T-shirt. Fixed blade carry is legal here but people are weirded out by it I think so I like keeping it hidden.
Nice... today I carried this
This beauty came in the other day. Very happy with it so far. Love the scales and the locking mechanism. Cheers.
Manix 2 ?
Yep. Good eye.
I’m a sucker for blue

From what I gather they’re quite similar. I’ve read that the 110 takes a bit more to sharpen but will hold an edge longer. My experience with it is only a few days so only time will tell.
Yep. The Manix 2 does come in S30V.
Yes, I’m very happy with it so far. I can see it becoming a favourite very quickly. Glad you enjoy yours. Cheers.
