Pros:strong,uneffected by chemicals/temperature,engravable.
Cons:heavy,smooth gripping surfaces.

I've got Police models in CF,G-10,and SS. The only one I carry is the G-10. It's light and easy to hold onto.

Legality only comes into play for blade length when you carry in public,just like guns. I keep an expandable baton under my bed and it's perfectly legal. But if I carry it outside beyond my porch,I need a permit. I'd suggest doing a search online for your state code to find the real deal. Here in VA...

Topic: Using Carbon Fiber for EDC
Replies: 16

I specifically bought my CF Police for collecting because they were numbered. For EDC,I much prefer the feel of G-10 to either CF or SS. The only CF knife I own I'd use for EDC would be my small CRKT M-16. The handle is just the right size/shape that I can wrap my fingers around the whole handle and...

Blue,green,'brown',all PE. One of them would prolly be my EDC,except I just can't get into the nested lock. Just feels weird to me. I really like the cobra hood,though.

Be cool if they ditched the titanium version for carbon fiber.

W00t!

Well,today was a good day for me. Got my New Grahams order. Picked up an Endurahawk and completed my CF Police set with a pair of lefthanders. I was pretty well chuffed when I popped open the PE's blade and saw it was serial #001! W00t! Not sure if I got the first CF,or just the first CF LH PE,but p...

sotyakr, I've bought from Shop At Home in the past and have a friend who does now. Forget it. You'll get one maybe two halfway decent knives out of the set,the rest will be crap.

I second the Airborne Express sentiment. My Mom used to work the shipping section of a tech plant and had many horror stories about AE. They wound up dropping them,and if memory serves,had to even threaten a lawsuit to straighten out compensation for a lost shipment.

I've got one in my collection, but don't carry it. I prefer needlenose pliers and I hate having to "assemble" the screwdrivers. The 'Rench would've been better if the bits were used in a fold-out holder, ala Victorinox Cybertool. For EDC, I use a Leatherman Juice KF4(the yellow one) or one...

FYI, you can get the real McCoy for $7.95 from Botach(http://www.botachtactical.com) or the P3 for $9.95. I've had a white P2 on my keychain for 3yrs now, and it rocks. Gave a dozen of them away last year as stocking stuffers, too.
