The Vic Soldier plus one of these is always in my pocket:




Usually the Soldier and canoe.

Waaay too many. Well over 100. So here's a picture of the knives that see frequent carry: http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/EDCs.jpg From left to right: Victorinox Solider that I've carried every day since 2003. Queen #31 Ka-Bar stockman that I know nothing about other than it's some...

Had a blackout for about 20 minutes yesterday around 4 in the evening Oh no! Not twenty minutes! Twenty minutes isn't a blackout, that's just a little blip. When we got pounded with snow in late January, I was without power for four and a half days, so I sneer at anyone who complains about twenty m...

I saw another concept like this someone had posted (can't remember where) in which he (or she) put a block/dowel under the base at the center of the stones. This let's you pivot the base back and forth to get the same angle on both sides relatively quickly. No idea how stable it was (especially w/ ...

The ability to go down below 10 degrees was at the heart of the idea. I carry a lot of slip joints and sometimes like very thinly ground blades (I occasionally carry a Buck 301 who's sheepsfoot blade is probably closer to 5 degrees per side). This way I can touch up those blades on the Sharpmaker, a...

Greetings all. I also posted this on Blade Forums, but just in case we've got folks here who don't read over there, here it is again... First, let me preface this with a few comments. I am a big proponent of free hand sharpening, and I think that all of us with more than a passing interest in knives...

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/IMG_0695.jpg This gets me where I need to go in the snow. But I also realize that a capable car is only one part of the equation. You have to be a good driver on dry ground to even have a chance on the snow. Go slow, keep your distance from other ca...

I think low rider/deep carry clips are the worst trend to come along in knives in a long time. It's a pointless solution to a problem that as far as I can tell, doesn't exist. No one is going to know that that clip on your pocket is a knife unless they're also a knife person. The only person that's ...

What do you mean, Queen - left front pocket loose, Para - right front clipped. :D I was thinking about that, but my Victorinox Soldier has been a permanent fixture in my left pocket for seven years. It's got too much sentimental value to have to take a hike. I've resisted it for years, but this Que...

Get the 710, it's a great knife that'll give you years of great use. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/IMG_1569.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/IMG_1570.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/IMG_1571.jpg My former EDC 710 (January 2006-September ...

Just one for me. It's sitting on my desk right now. C10PBK born in March 2005.

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/Queen31BEM3.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/Queen31BEM5.jpg Just got it Monday and haven't really started the sharpening process, but I can tell I'm going to love this knife. Fit n' finish is nearly perfect, walk and talk are f...

Until recently (last several years), Buck would reblade these knives with higher end steels from their custom shop. But no more. I was on the look out for one of these for a long time with plans to have a BG-42 blade dropped in, but never came across one. The steel on yours, if made in 1987 is most ...

I passed up a virtually unused first generation Endura at a local pawn shop for $15 a few years back and regret it. I'd put my name in for a sprint run of an old school Delica/Endura for sure. My favorite version will always be the third generation though... something about the current model just do...

Well... let's see... Weight: I don't care as long as it doesn't make my pants fall off. Handle Mats: I like G-10, micarta, bone and wood. Blade Type: Plain edge. I think combo edges are pretty much useless because there's not enough of either edge type to really do much. I don't particularly like se...

I'd like to see colors other than tan (or whatever the color they used on that tan/sand/dirt/ugly Native) or foliage green. How about dark blue, real green, purple or even red. I can't stand wire clips, so I'll pass on that option. But everything else you listed works for me. Next to the Paramilitar...

There's my EDC. iPod, wallet, Victorinox Soldier, Paramilitary and Omega Pacific carabiner with keys to my house and '06 Impreza. Not pictured is my phone and EDC pen (Pilot G2 Limited).

HA!!! sounds like they haven't been introduced to imperial IPA, or russian imperial stout... ;) Sounds like they haven't been introduced to beer, period. We get a lot of things right in America, but mass producing beer just isn't one of them. I've said it before, and I say it in all seriousness: ty...

I stay far, far away from mass market American beers (ie. Bud, Bud light, Miller and the related swill). Give me good imports or microbrews and I'll be a happy boy. Magic Hat, Sweetwater 420, and the Highlands beers (brewed right down the road in Asheville, NC) are at the top of my list right now. I...

I don't rotate. So, this Paramilitary is my EDC every day of the week (a REAL every day carry knife!). http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb20/benkeever/Para.jpg And this guy rides along every day as well (although two days this week, he was displaced by an old Schrade 8OT). http://i211.photobucket....
