Everyday Carry Knife
Dan W:
I carry an Benchmade full size GRIPTILIAN with a D2 blade which is exclusive to Cabela's
I love the AXIS lock
Mudnrox:
I have a Benchmade Mel Pardue ATS-34 that I bought over 10 years ago.
I carry it most every day.
There is some wear on the handle and the blade needs sharpened, but no problems with it.
I liked it enough to pick up a couple more Benchmade knives recently.
XDHusker:
Right now I'm carrying a relatively cheap SOG Trident Tanto. It's borderline over the 3.5" limit so I have to make sure it's not "concealed".
I'm saving up for an Emerson Super Karambit though.

Praise the Lord, I found my Hinderer!!! Cause for celebration!! Now, about that zero tolerance I just ordered last night....
gigabelly:
So I found my Hinderer the day after I ordered a relatively cheap alternative. The Hinderer can go for thousands of dollars. Way too rich for my blood, but it was a gift. I really liked carrying a high quality knife so I ordered one very similar but only cost the bargain basement price of ~$250. It was a impulse buy spurned out of bereavement for the hinderer. Now that I have both, I like the Zero Tolerance knife better. I put the Hinderer in the safe and just simply LOVE my ZT.
I still carry my leatherman mutt, too. That is about the handiest tool on the planet. It does have a knife, but the screwdrivers and pliers really make it worth the extra heft. The hammer is handy, too. It was designed for servicing the M4 by the US Army and it does have ideal features.
Between that, my ZT, an occasional utility knife, my Glock .40, an extra mag or two, and my flashlight, keys and my "George Kastanza" wallet, my pants are damned heavy. I use a riggers belt but have to check for pulses in my feet to make sure it is not too tight. I am afraid I need suspenders, for Pete's sake. I used to ask my dad why he wore suspenders, he would say "Have you ever tried to put panty hose on a basketball?" I am built a little different than he was. I have the butt required for a belt to work, but with all the weight, I am constantly having to re-hoist all my gear. Guess I could get the lady thrilla fanny pack, but...well, its a fanny pack, tactical or not, and it is just wrong.
Thanks for sticking with me through my morning ramblings and bloviations. My point was, before I got sidetracked, the ZT is a great knife. The leaterman Mutt is a great multitool/knife. The end.
