Spyderco Forums

I thought it'd be fun to have a thread where we track which steels we carry every day.

At the end of every week I'll tally up the responses. I'll keep a running total for each week, and a grand total for the entire thread.

Include any knife you carried for a good portion of the day. Leave out tools you used for a specific task, e.g. chef knives and splitting mauls.

Today I carried:

VG10 (Police LW)
VG10 (Street Beat)
420HC (Leatherman Micra)

Cts xhp chaparral lightweight
Lc200n caribbean

VG-10 (Temperance 2)
S30V (Magnitude)

I like to carry fixed blades in cold weather, though I don’t think my jacket today covered much of anything :o I also normally carry much smaller knives, but lately I’ve been surprised by how well bigger ones carry vs what I expected before I ever carried one.

BD1N

I’m currently in a faithful relationship with a Manix LW. She’s been everything a man could want.
I’m only human though and I admit I’ve fraternised briefly with other models. I’ve mostly managed to keep my fingers out of other spydie holes though.

s30v lil native and either the m390 manix 2 or m390 para 3 as well.

Super Blue (Delica)
ZDP189 (Caly 3.5)
C70 carbon steel (A. Wright & Son Lambsfoot slipjoint)
1.4110 (Victorinox Classic)

Yesterday I had the following.

K390
S35VN
H1
INFI
Victorinox swiss made stainless

Today will be the same.

K390 in big badass Police 4.

So far today I've carried AUS-6 (Jester) and VG-10 (Kiwi & Stretch). Yesterday I carried those same knives and used VG-10 (Stretch), MBS-26 (K05 and modified K04), and some mystery stainless steel in a steak knife I got 50+ years ago for cigarette coupons that's my go-to knife for cutting food in frying pans and on ceramic plates. :o :)

SE H1
Vic classic stainless

Actually THREE steels (knives) today,rather untypical (many) for me:

CTS XHP (Chaparral FRN, at home in the morning)
H1 (Pac.Salt SE, while trailrunning)
VG10 (Endela SE, for the rest of the day)

I have almost no rotation these days, it's been LC for most of this year and it was H1 for about 2 years before that. I guess you can throw Cruwear into the mix but I haven't really had a chance to use it yet.

LC has honestly ruined my taste for most steels aside from some sprints I'd like to see. For my daily uses I think this is the steel for me.

H1 (Salt2)

HAP40 - Stretch
CTS XHP - McBee

Mostly M390 and H1, sometimes CPM Cruwear.

S30V (manix XL)
S110V (Military)

Yesterday was an S35vn day. Brown pm2, and Cold Steel AD10. Currently waiting in surgery pre-op in my PJ's so no knife but my cargo pants are loaded with PE Pacific Salt for when i get out.

Maxamet Manix2
4V mule
PMA11 mule (just in to freshen the edge) technically I carried it :)
