My perfect city combo is easily the Lil Native and the Ti Squarehead. The legal blade length limit in Boston is 2.5” so the Lil Native is an ideal knife for me. Even if there were no 2.5” limit, I would still probably choose the Lil Native, I like it that much!

(Side note: I ignore that limit on a regular basis now, but have become so used to using 2.5” knives, that I might as well be legal if I had to choose) :spyder:

With all that said, I would probably choose the Lil Native as my perfect “just one knife” as well, but I feel like my answer to this would change depending on why I’m choosing “just one.”

These threads cause me all sorts of angst. I don’t like limiting myself if I don’t have to, and rarely must I.

But if I must, I can pretty much carry anywhere—except an airplane—my Lil’ Native, my Urban(s), or the Roadie I have yet to acquire.

I understand Denmark no longer allows the carry of knives of any description, so a DKPK has become superfluous.

Both are the same knife for me. Dragonfly Salt Serrated. I've had em', sold em', but keep on coming back. At times I've sold one to try something else but nothing works so well for me. This guy is clipped in my waistband almost all the time....

City Combo: either Spydiechef and a ~3.5" traditional or Chaparral lw and my drop point g10 Microtech Ultratech. But, Like Vivi said, I carry what I want. I live in Tulsa. Most people don't care and neither do I. Spydiechef plus GEC gunstock jack have been my main summer carries besides the fixed blades I've been totin'.

My one knife: Sebenza 21 with insingo blade and black micarta inlays. Runner up is Slsyz Bowie. Bronze medal goes to GEC's Bullnose sodbuster.
