I thought we had a knife thread of sorts. It is totally possible my search-fu is weak. It usually is.
My new EDC, a CR Sebenza 25 Knifeart Edition CF. Excellent materials, perfect fit and finish and just the right size for the many times I can't carry a fixed blade.

Why can't you carry a fixed blade? I can hide one just about anywhere outside my body. I don't do internal.
I like them because it's bulletproof technology. Less to break. Nothing to open or fumble with. And depending on blade length laws they're legal in most places. I've been carrying a CRKT obake. It's cheap, found at Walmart and can take a good edge. |

I would much prefer to carry a fixed blade. I have several. There are many places during the work week that I go to that I cannot carry a knife. It is easier to take a folder out of my pocket than keep taking a sheath on and off. So it's convenience, nothing else. |

I know, I know, "ooh no! A switchblade in CT!!" Well it makes my job much easier to have one handed operation and I have spoken to several cops about it. So long as I don't do anything illegal with it I feel confident I'm safe.
Ravencrest tactical RCT1 has been flawless for me and stood up to the obvious abuse I put it through. I'm getting a little play in the blade, but once it gets too loose for my liking I will send it in to be repaired.

Cuz as far as I know only cops, fire and emts are allowed to carry auto knives. .. am I wrong ? Only asking cuz you said you have spoken to several cops about it.. what do they say? Just curious because I would like to buy an auto knife but if I can't carry it on me theres no sence in buying one. |

The two cops I talked to about it said they highly doubt a cop would arrest you if they just saw you with it, and I really only take it from home to work and back. I'm a machinist and I deal with huge coils of wire that are wrapped up. I have to lift them with one arm while I cut the straps free. I stay out of trouble so the odds of a cop even seeing the knife are astronomical. If I plan on going anywhere aside from work or home I usually will carry my kershaw blur. But I practically live at work and go straight home afterwards. I work 4pm-4am 5 days a week so I'm not out in public much at all. |
