Stupid intuitive iPhone! LOL

Tanto tanto tanto!

I'm still laughing about this in my office. Everyone that walks by is asking me what's so funny.

Benchmade Elishewitz Stryker

Been carrying it for almost 10 years. She's been a good solid knife for me but I've been toying with the idea of going to an assisted open style lately.

I carry a benchmade griptillion...straight edge...the older larger thumbhole style...been a great knife for many years...and you can get them off of the Internet for 50-80 bucks, depending on where you look. I paid over 100 for mine at a local gun shop...sigh.

Back in my navy days, I was always carrying a spyderco. I've been a benchmade guy for the past few years. It feels good to be back with spydie, I feel they are sort of the glocks of the knife world. Light, practical, not too flashy, ugly to some/beautiful to others, they just plain work.

Of course, no one turned in a treasure find like that to any of the Navaho cashiers. I've carried that 'lil red jewel for at least 20 years and I am

...sorry to hear it...I know the feeling...you just get it broke in good and poof...there it goes...good knives last longer!!!

Im parcel to SOGS I carry a Salute right now been looking at the Aegis.Also have a Buck pilot.

Having looked at the part of the Penal Code that describes "illegal knives", it would seem to me that its legal to carry a fixed blade knife under 5.5 inches that is NOT as described below:

6) "Illegal knife" means a:

(A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches;

(B) hand instrument designed to cut or stab another by being thrown;

(C) dagger, including but not limited to a dirk, stiletto, and poniard;

(D) bowie knife;

(E) sword; or

(F) spear.

If you look up daggers, dirks, stilettos, poniards, and others of that type, they have two sharp edges. They are usually "pointy". They are designed much more for stabbing than cutting (though I understand they would do that as well). As for a bowie knife, well, its also easy to go on-line (or open a book, if you have a library nearby) and see what one looks like. I posted before that I wouldn't carry the "baby" K-Bar that my wife bought me due to it looking sort of like a "bowie". So, I went and bought a knife that resembles NONE of the things in the list above.

I couldn't spend a lot, so I bought a Boker "Magnum Tracker". Its 440 stainless (yes, I know, it won't stand up to cutting down trees all day) but it seems like it takes a pretty good edge. It has a 3.75 inch long, .11 inch thick, hollow ground blade with a single sharp edge, a groove to help your hand not to slip onto the blade and a riveted black laminate wood handle. It seems like a hunting or utility knife to me. Here is a link to it:

Thoughts? BTW, once I have better "cash flow", I will replace this with something of better quality.

I carried an ESEE-4 for a while before I misplaced it. Solid knife but a little too big for normal use.

ETA:
it's a spyderco delica 4 stainless - C11

They don't make them like they used to but a new one is $10 at Target or Walmart. They also come in Tactical Black now.
