I tend to rotate my edc quite a bit, but the Brouwer is probably my single most-carried knife. I'm a huge believer in simplicity as a design tenet and, in my opinion anyways, the Brouwer is nothing more or less than everything it needs to be. It's become kind of my "goldilocks" edc knife. Compact, comfortable, highly capable, and a little bit classy all wrapped up into one package. If I'm in the woods, I'll carry a Manix or PM2. At the beach, a Salt.. To be more discreet, a cricket or DF.. etc.. but as an all-around, highly functional edc knife, the Brouwer just keeps finding its way into my pocket and I don't see that changing anytime soon.DirtMcGirt wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:24 amWolfspyder got my #1 vote. I recently discovered the LilTemp3, and totally agree with you. Absolutely fantastic. Definitely gets the #2 “gem” spot of my collection. You’re also making me go look at Brouwers now. If you’re grouping it with these two, I’m pretty sure I will really dig it. My bday is in two weeks and that may be the one I get now.![]()
I like mine a lot. The lock release is sub-optimal, but the lock and the blade are just great. I would love this knife with just slightly contoured micarta scales. Hmm... maybe I need to make some.
It's an amazing box cutter too, and I bet that even the most tactical among us do a substantial amount of our knife use breaking down shipping boxes.
Good to know someone else can relate, I was beginning to think I was going crazy for calling the rhino my #1 edc! Not sure if you are a fan of deep carry, but getting an MXG clip for mine was the best thing an aftermarket clip has ever done for me. It uses a Benchmade 940 pattern and the length should be ideally as short as possible. Link here to the one I purchased if you'd like some ideas: https://mxggear.com/collections/osborne ... -knives-16. I think there is one other option that is short enough which is one that looks like a fatty lynch style design with the big hole on top.Maximumsmoochy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 12:52 pmI'll second the Rhino, been using mine about 1.5 weeks and it has impressed me heartily. Light, low-profile, distinct style, I like the clip (middle depth, not as shallow as many), incredibly smooth and well-made, and I can easily go between 3 and 4 full finger grip. It is my go to itty bitty.
