    What knife do you carry?

    The other night I noticed one of our motors guys had one clipped in his boot and got me thinking? So now I want one.. any ideas?

    Im not much on having a knife on me at all times but I keep aleatherman kick wave in the trunk but its a bit big to have on me.

    So I dont want to spend an over 50 bucks beacuse gear that is nice tends to grow legs and disapear, or get lost in the day to day activities.

    Any personal insite pros and cons on fixed vs folding that is my only hang up after that I know I with a tanto blade with serations.

    I carried a Spyderco Endura in my right sap pocket for many years. Great knife!

        I carry a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. easily one of the absolute BEST knives on the market. It was my first knife, I bought it for myself last Christmas. I am now NEVER without it, I even take it to the bathroom, and trips to the kitchen in my boxers at 3 am. its spendy but worth it, I just luckily found some in stock yesterday and ordered 2, one for me and one for my dad for Christmas. seriously, buy one. If you dont want to spend that much the Spyderco Manix 2 comes in at a close second place. you can find them for around $70

        Once you start carrying a QUALITY knife. you won't ever leave your bedroom without one. I use my knife EVERY day.

            Ive been looking for one of those for a while now. They sell out extremely fast and I have heard nothing but great reviews.

            Im not an LEO, but entering the academy in january. I have a Zero tolerance 0350 im thinking about carrying when Im out. But also want the PM2.

            Nice blade.

                    man it is such a fantastic knife. I LOVE it. i just purchased my 2nd one. will be buying one every few months when I can find them in stock. I think ill be happy when I have around 15 of them =P

                    however I might try some other knives, I dont want any Chinese made knives though

                    I was going to shoot you the link for the website I bought from yesterday, the knife is now out of stock, and the price is $10 more than what I paid..lol..

                            No offense but where in the hell did you hear that? ha ha ha I carry a sog seal pup and my Ratmandu every single day on a belt clip. Its not illegal to carry fixed blades, they just need to not be concealed. NOW if your talking about Los Angeles you need to just move out now, they have the single dumbest knife laws in the world. yes, world.

                            In LA, they have a 3" knife rule for folders, if its longer than 3 inches it cannot be open carried.. Yeah super scary knives over 3" need to be concealed carried...WHAT Yeah thats the rule!

                            In the real world (outside LA) no limits on folders, just make sure every knife you carry is open carried to avoid problems.

                            Belt clips are considered exposed so you can carry a folder in your pocket with the clip showing and its good to carry.

                            If you are carrying for utility thats cool, if your carrying for defense take some classes.
