I'd like to know so I can get one and take it to the sandbox with me this knife has to be a good muilti knife able to do everything from  open a MRE to the dirty work. Thanks for the help.

What did you take on your last visit?  

If money is no concern:

I took a small CRKT it did not stand up to what I needed it to do.






Id love to get one of them!!! I'm also going to see if he has any auto knives thats what I'm really looking for.

If I may suggest to avoid the folder if you can use a fixed blade.

However, if a folder is what you need and if looking for just a folding blade without gadgets, the custom knives, such as a Chris Reeve, are considered the best but very expensive.

For the price, I'd also look into production run knifes.  For example an Ernest Emerson production knife similar to the CQC7 with a spearpoint blade or the Commander.

Forget folders and get fixed blade instead.
You'll never break a fixed blade unless you really tried hard.    

Folding knife ...?


For the money, a Benchmade Axis lock system knife.


But you need a fixed blade for endurance, just breakdown & buy a Bussie. They offer discounts to guys in the real deal, not backyard warriors.

I have a ka-bar that is going with me but I need something that will also take care if the little things like opening a MRE and If need be use it as a a killing tool if thats the first thing I can get my hand on.

I'll have a Ka-Bar and a one of the new bayonets that there issuing out so I should be good on the fix bladed.

I also recommend an Emerson Commander or one of Benchmade's AXIS line-up.  I like the ATS34(154CM) steel, which both of these companies use.  I personally don't care for serrations, but they may be usefull in your situation. I also try to avoid tanto blades. Shameless knife porn ahead...

Call up Emerson and get it in OD Green

Tayous1,

If you would like, I will loan you my Benchmade 9050 AFO.  Use it, abuse it, and loose it if you will.  Better to have you use it than it sit in a box.  This is a serious offer.  IM me if interested.
