lil hunter Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 So, i've been needing a new pocket knife to use as an everyday, carry around in my pocket type deal. I definetly want the little thumb thing to open it, forgot what thats called. And I really don't want a serrated edge on the blade. I've never used a knife for anything that needed that, but theres been times when it annoyed me, so I don't really want it. Looking for a price of anywhere between like, 30-70 dollars, preferably in the $50 range. I would also like it to have a blade between 3 and 3.75". Any body have any reccomendations? My birthday is soon, and my mom keeps asking me what I want, so I decided that she is gonna buy me a knife. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 A lot of good knives out there lil. Have always liked the gerber gator line of knives. They hold an edge really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I have a Buck knife and love it! I've used it at camp all summer to cut various things...still very sharp! And they have a warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I have the Buck zipper with the rubber handle. It is a great size knife with good steel and has the gut hook. You'll love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [email protected] Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Knifes are a personal choice, I collect mainly USA made knives and have quite a collect, the best blades for retaining sharpness are benchmade, I used 2 of these knives when I was deployed to Iraq, they maintained a blade for a year, I used these a lot. I just purchased a Buck knife for hunting, it is a fixed blade, rubber handle, gut hook it is called an Model 393CM Omni Hunter™ 12pt I paid $39 for it the steel is a 420HC, which is OK. If you are looking for a nice knife to treasure, then buy a USA made knife, it makes me proud to by USA quality. Stainless steel blade even though they are carbon steel based, do not hold a blade as good as a carbon steel, a 440B or 440C blade is affordable these are both stainless steel but are probably the best stainless steel after CM154. a CM154 is a great blade, it a US steel. The best steel knives are D2 then M2. Thing to remember with carbon steel, they rust, so chromo is added reduce this from happening, if a knife has more then 13% chromo then it is stainless. There are many factors what makes great steel blades, from additives to heat treatment, it is a real science. for what you are going to be paying a would recommend going to the Mall, check out the knife store, look at different knifes (don't by from the mall way to expensive).

buckee Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I've always been a Buck-Knife guy. They are reasonably priced, stand behind their product and had a good durable blade. http://www.eknifeworks.com/webapp/eCommerce//prodlist.jsp?A=&OVADID=1652111021&Brand=16&Mode=Brand&OVRAW=buck%20knife&OVMTC=standard&OVKEY=buck%20knife&OVKWID=15200748021&range=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoytbowhunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I carry Schrade ''X TIMER'' or a Smith & Wesson "Pocket Protector" Daily. The Schrade has about the blade length that you where looking into and the S&W is a little smaller but both of them are great knives and hold great edges and have served me well. Not sure of the prices of either one was a gift and I bought the other off a friend dirt cheep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98chevy Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I use my knife all day every day while landscaping. I was breaking alot of blades and making them dull real fast and then i got a benchmade. Ill never own another brand of pocket knife.

JimPic Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 My Buck 112c folder has been my go-to knife for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Have always liked the gerber gator line of knives. They hold an edge really well. Yep. I've got two of them and am very well pleased. Mine don't have the thumb stud, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I use to like the Thumb knives but my wife bought me a multi blade for Christmas one year. I LOVE the multi blade. My dad always Carried a Case Knife. The last time we were in Branson I picked one up that reminded me of the one dad ALWAYS Carried. I couldn't be happier with it. There are a lot of good knives out there but it would be hard for any to beat a Case knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 There are a lot of good knives out there but it would be hard for any to beat a Case knife. I agree with that. I have a real nice collection of Case knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule659 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I use a gerber gator myslef. They are pretty inexpensive and work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WIsportsman Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I have always liked my Spyderco, good size and I can carry it with me in my pocket or keep it in my truck. They have some good priced knives but they can also get expensive, I guess like any hunting equipment. http://www.spyderco.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR44 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I myself only use Buck, I have 4. I started carrying one 30 yrs ago (still have/use it). These days there are a lot of variations out there. The biggest things to check on, blade sharpness, keeping an edge, weight/balance, durability (at hinge). Good Luck in your pursuit!

maytom Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Buck, Case, and Gerber were the brands I was going to suggest as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have had some good performance out of my Cold Steel knives. www.coldsteel.com Their products are both domestic and imported. This is a high tech blade company and makes products beyond belief in strength. Log on their site and get their free DVD catalog. Their factory seconds are better then some companys factory firsts.

Guest MIhunter Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 The Best Knife OK... Well the knife i will recommend you cannot buy in stores. It is made by cutco. You can get it in a straight edge or a recessed edge that is not serratted but last longer than a straight edge but cuts just like one. it looks like this teeth and the point protect the blade. If you want a better explanation go to www.cutco.com. Their guarantee also covers everything that could possibly happen to a knife. My fathers employee was using it last year for the 14th year and broke it in half splitting a pelvic bone. He sent it in and they sent him a new one for free.... no questions asked. Also they will resharpen it in the off season for free so it basically comes out brand new. If you are intersted email me at [email protected] or give me a call at (517)294-0339... I do sell it and I promise you will love it. They are sharper than anything I have ever used. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigalt78 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 if i were you i would get the paraframe 1 or the paraframe 2 made by gerber i belive but im not sure. but me and my buddy both had one and they are great everyday knives. they'll do just about any task you need them to do their great knives.

Guest bow_hunter101 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I would recommend Cold Steel, CRKT, or Gerber. Any of these brands will make a good, durable knife that you can use for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
