Your favorite knife?

[ShotokanKid]

Mine's a Smith and Wesson Homeland Security CK212 with a 4 inch blade and a G-10 handle, which I got at the dojo Christmas gift exchange. What's yours?

An old lock-blade my father used when he was a police officer. Perfect utility knife, not a sexy killing knife that can't help you out in the real world.

Several favorites.

 

1) Spyderco Dragonfly, serrated: Short blade, but still a very effective cutter. 2 5/16" blade, and small enough that almost nobody would think of it as a combat blade (even though it would certainly work).

 

2) Spyderco Delica, partially serrated. 3" blade, and a bit more robust. Still small enough to be somewhat inconspicuous when using it.

 

3) Spyderco Police, plain edge. 4 1/8" blade, very well designed, so that it's a combat worthy knife, while still fitting when clipped on the front pants pocket. This is probably about as large of a blade that I could carry and not raise any eyebrows, unless I opened it up. When I need to use it, the folks who see the blade either stare at it enviously, with a few oohs and aahs, or cringe at the sight of it.

 

4) Spyderco SPOT: Necklace sheath, and its flat profile makes it all but invisible underneath a shirt.

It's a shame they're discontinuing it.
