Lately I've been packing a Kershaw "speed-safe" 1660CKT its the Leek by Ken Onion and its one wicked dude. Before that I carried a Benchmade 820SBT Ascent, it too a sweet knife still have it. But what started it all was the Buck 0180-LC-0 Crosslock. They are all one hand opening, folding blade, clip on knifes. The Leek has the "assisted-opening" feature, which makes it a semi-switchblade. What you all packing??.....C/22

Spring assisted Buck.
One handy,sharp little knife.

When working in the woods,I carry a full
sized razor sharp bowie.

Dave, that big bowie fits you to a T!

Your mail box is full,sent an email

gotta go with the Benchmade.

I dont know the model #....

Gerber EZ out.

SOG lockblade w/ black rubberized grip. Quicker than a Guadalajara switchblade (or so I've "heard" )

I have a couple of different Ken Onion designed Kershaws, couldn't tell you which models they are but both are very quick to open and one handed.

Won't take the chance to lose a really good knife out fishing.

Have two easy open, lock blade style knifes that are "boat stock". Stainless steel blades, and sharper than 'ell.

Think I give $2.99 ea. at the checkout counter at Northern Sales for them. They have done a good job. One in the cup-holder, near the anchor line should it need cutting in a hurry.

Here are a few of mine



Before the fire,this collection was 300+ knives.

Chrome/22, I carry the same knife that you do. I often wonder about the switch blade style opening of that thing. Just an FYI, The spring function quit working on mine and brought it to Sportco to ask if there was anything they might be able to do as far as buying new springs or what not. They sent it to kershaw and about a week later I had a brand new one back in my pocket that works perfectely. Great knife and great company.

Holy Cow Dave!!! Now that's a knife!!! All I carry is a Kershaw Ken Onion also.

Guess I'm somewhat old school. A Buck Cadet has been in my pocket for about 20 years.

Spyderco with a seratted edge that runs 3/4 of the blade

Another knife I don't go fishing without...

A FIFET KNIFE

Duh. Well, specifically I prefer the white rubber handled Dexter Russel knives.

Dammit when will this site get a spellcheck!?

FIFET=FILET pardon my fat fingers.

SOG auto clip. And SOG Field Pup. So many knives, so little time.

There are carry knives and boat knives...I love my 8" Dexter Russell filet knife. I also take along the Edgemaker Pro sharpening steel/hone and a diamond steel.

Another thing to consider having on board your vessel is a hacksaw or at least a hacksaw blade. It can makes short work of nylon/polypro and other lines that get wrapped too tightly around things like props. A little safer than sawing with a serrated knife blade.

Diamond steel,the best way to sharpen
a good blade.
Diamond steel an a piece of leather,
is all that I use,it keeps the Buck filet
knife shaving sharp.

Yikes Dave... thats one mean looking group of knife's!! Remind me not to back talk you so much....C/22

PS sent ya some info on a(PM)
