Default Picked up a new pocket knife today

Wanted one relatively cheap, thin, light, and easy to carry. Looked around in the knife shoppe for awhile and looked at about 5 or 6 knives and this one felt the best. Its a Buck 327TT, check it out.



What knives do you guys carry?

I personally carry a gerber for my job. I need something that keeps a sharp edge, I regularly strip wiring. I have had excellent luck with gerbers. The only pit fall is people apparently think they need them worse then me, and the disappear.


When I work around the house or on cars, I have a smith and wesson SWAT black anniversary, I use. It is monsterous, nearly impossible to break, and gets used for any purpose including some cutting.


only mine is stamped specail anniversary on the blade

I also have a gerber gator somewhere in my tools


I have a ton of knives all over. Some packed up in boxes to never be seen again. I like to collect them. I have to stay away from anywhere selling knives

I have a buck multitool that is sharp as snot, but the tools broke on.

I used to carry a knife like this before, but I streched the clip out and havent had time to fix it yet.

SOG Flash II
Ive had it for about 2 years now, love it.
Use it for everything from cutting wire to a screwdriver
Blade is AUS8 and holds a edge very good.
there is also the new pistol that goes everywhere with me..

SOG knives are awesome. If I had the money I'd buy a few of those, and some benchmades.

My buck knife was made in china, but its still a decent feeling knife. The steel isn't super high quality but I didn't pay that much for it.
