Hello all! I'm new to the forum. From Indiana. Although I have a fair amount of survival training, I'm not by any means a survival expert. I'm here to learn and possibly contribute when I can. Question: I need suggestions for an EDC knife. I don't necessarily need a fighting knife, although if it comes to that, it comes to that. Typically when I'm not at work I carry at least one firearm. As an Eagle Scout, I've carried a pocket knife basically my whole life. Usually I carry a cheap knife I'll pick up somewhere until it falls apart and then get another one. I would like to get something nicer that will last a while. Usually I will wear khakis or scrubs to work, depending on which job I'm at (I'm a registered nurse and a clinical informatics consultant). Any recommendations? Budget is under $150. Thanks in advance for any advice! ----- Please excuse any typos - sent from my mobile device using Tapatalk. Stand up for your rights, people! Wake up!
Hey! I just found this thread, go check it out, lot's of great suggestions for you there! What do you (EDC) carry ?
I don't have the clothing restrictions you have, so what I carry may not work for you. But I carry a Buck 110 folder in a nylon carry case. I also carry a small three blade congress. Bought it at a flea market for $10 No brand name that I've seen, but takes and holds an edge well
I read a book called, The Twilight's Last Gleaming: On Your Own in America, Nathan L. Combs. There was a whole chapter plus on knives, more in-depth then I liked but if you like knives he had pretty well thought out suggestions as to what to get for what purpose.
look at the schrade stockman... three blades that will hold a good edge and remember that two is one and one is two... due to your position you might be able to get by with one of these on your belt stocked appropriately... .. Nite Ize NPXL-03-01 Clip Pock-Its XL Utility Holster, Black - Amazon.com
Hip Pock-Its Utility Holster larger version These guys make good pouches. I am wearing one of their AA flashlight holsters, with sleeves for a spare pair of batteries.
CRKT knive are well made not over priced hold a good edge and they have multiple knives to choose from. With multiple options you can pick what fits your daily need. I have had the CRKT M-16 for over five years and still carry it everyday on duty and off. I use to carry one of the first S&W tactical folding knives but when I went to replace it the S&W line has got cheap made over time
Just because. There is a local knifing that was done with a "military style" K-Bar. Get 'em while you can. (Mine dates from the Korean Police action.)
I carry a Camillus and it works great.... solid knife so far for a good price. Camillus 9'' Cuda® Folding, Quick Release - Folding Knives
I carry a CRKT Hammond Cruiser. Got it at Flea Market guy sells knives. Liked it alot & when I learned it was discontinued I went back & bought 2 more. Sharpens nicely, holds a good edge, & was only $20-25 each.
