Definitely my Superleaf. People comment on how thick the blade stock is.

I have a zt350 that I stopped carrying because I kept getting the wrong kind of feedback from people about it. That and it's just way too heavy to edc.

I get a lot of good feedback on the Para 2.

Either my Orange Para 2 or Benchmade 940 Osborne.. but my Kiwi seems to draw a lot of attention from non knife aficionados

Would have to say UKPK as its one of few that I'm legally permitted to EDC. Funny how the risk of 4 years in prison makes you think carefully about leaving your knife at home!
FG Urban Leaf, Orange UKPK G10, Leafstorm, Blue G10 Paramilitary 2, Green G10 Paramilitary 2 on order...

Yep, me too. I never pull a knife out in public unless I have to use it and then I use
it quickly and put it back where it belongs. I don't ever remember anyone saying
much of anything, except once at a hospital, someone needed a loose thread cut
off a shirt and I pulled out a manix cut it and back in the pocket like always, but
I did get "the look" fromn the non knife people. I try to remember that not all people
are goofy about knives like I am.

That is a knife I am looking for.
I have the Delica, the Cricket and a money clip in that theme, all done by Sante Fe Stoneworks. I would love to find that Kiwi sometime.

Any knife I loan someone always gets a "@!#$! that's sharp" response. Except once with a Centofante 4. The woman I loaned it to was trying to cut something easy, like a piece of bread. Her comment, "This knife isn't very sharp" caught me by surprise. Then I noticed that she was trying to cut with the spine. Thank goodness she didn't put her thumb on what she thought was the spine for more leverage. ;)

The only compliments i get aren't about the looks, but when I let someone use my knife. Most have never used a knife half as sharp. I always have to warn them. Overall though, the general public doesn't seem to differentiate from $2 gas station knives and my S90v Para 2; especially since half of the gas station knives use the round hole too.

I would imagine so! I assume that is a dyed pair of digicam handles?

It's my Squeak!
Of course, it's the one I'm carrying the most lately, but it gets the "Cute" comment, and "That little thing can cut!"
A Whole Bunch of Spydies! :D
