Auto knives

[brutal]

I want a nice OTF, like a Microtech, I really do.

That said, I can deploy offhand, my cheapo SOG Flash II, and close the blade one handed offhand as well.

I have a couple Gerber 06 autos. Nice chunky auto that can take a beating, but sucks for left hand deploy, and technically they're bigger than CO law allows.

I'm not saying that nobody can do it but it's just quicker/easier. "click" use "click" all w/o changing hand position or adjusting anything. It's really that fast. Much like I can walk outside and manually open each of my sprinkler zones by hand but I'd much prefer clicking a button on my smartphone and having them magically run all by themselves after one click. Does that make me lazy? You bet! And I love it. lol

Many good opinion.
Buy em all and carry em all. As for me, I will eventually save $$ by eliminating time to look for box cutter/scissors. I literally have about 300-400sq-ft of spaces dedicated to boxes at home.

My primary usage of EDC Knife is basically box cutting/Opening boxes. As I said before, carrying a EDC back of my pocket really really saves me time by not spending 30sec +/- to look for scissors or box cutters.

As for cheap box cutting (glorified box cutter) Kershaw Ken Onion collabration knives works great. Even those $18 kershaw zing works for me. Someone recommended Spyderco for box cuttingm, but I just cannot open my arms to Spyderco knives yet.

As for quick usage or normal outing, I would sometimes carry OTFs. It is just faster in-use-out.

Bruh! They're practically your neighbor!

I just realized that there are far too few photos so here's what I'm carrying today:



Fresh back from Microtech for service is a desert camo Ultratech which has served me well. One of my favorite EDC knives due to it's size, ruggedness, the fact it doesn't look shiny and new so I can use it w/o feeling like a dick for munging it up. Unlike my full size Infidel for instance it seems to disappear in the pocket due to it's weight and size plus how smooth the inside of the handle is so I don't feel any sharp edges against my leg reminding me there's a knife there.

Went to the dark side and picked up an Infidel today.

Browsing at DangerLee while doing paperwork is dangerous.

Technically over Colorado's 3.5", but DADT and just like CCW, don't play with your junk in public right?

Pics with your nasty ass feet, or it didn't happen....

ETA: Just saw a pic in the latest purchase thread, but I'll leave this post anyway.

I try to pry out the stuck thermostat with the screw driver and did not work. So, i tried to but the rubber gasket part of the stuck thermostat with the knife. The result was tip of Boker Kashinikov knife broken off. Time to shop cheap carry auto.
