Which EDC folder do you get the most compliments on?
Which EDC folder do you get the most compliments on?
So I was just wondering which of your production (not custom) folder EDC's do friends and
co-workers tend to compliment you on?
If I had to guess, I would say either the Sage 1, Sage 4, or
the Gayle Bradley.

When I was working, it was always my Kiwis. They all got some, but this one probably got the most...

I think most compliments in a day will come for a fancy knife, not necessarily the best quality. Having said that, I think The Deacon cheats. :) He has more quality beautiful knives than anyone I know (almost) or have heard about. :D
For me, it has been the Chaparral. I think I would have gotten the same reaction if I had the Sage1 or GB at the time. I am unsure about the Sage4 getting noticed as much. It's beauty IMO comes from the quality more than appearance. It is a beautiful knife but I doubt if anyone who never thinks about knives will really notice it. I might be wrong. But, if anyone does notice it and asks to hold it (and I actually let them) that's when they will appreciate the smoothness, solid lock-up, etc.
At the moment the Sage4 has the most qulalities I want in one knife. However it doesn't scream it's presence which is actually one of the features I like. Great great knife.
I could (and have) say the same about the GB. I cut a hamburger yesterday with the Sage4 and the little extra length of the GB blade would have been nice. Please don't worry, the Sage4 got the job done. :)

Dang, Jack, you're gonna talk me into buying a Sage 4 yet. Of course, the wife won't talk to me for a month, but it's a small price to pay!jackknifeh wrote:I think most compliments in a day will come for a fancy knife, not necessarily the best quality.

My ZDP ladybug gets the most compliments, even from the ladies. Who said "bigger is better?"

Of all the Spydies I have shown my knife bros and gear heads at work, the black SE Ladybug got the most compliments. All of them loved how the lil knife felt good in their hands and that it was a locking knife. Go figure, the TI Millie, Sage 2, Orange Para 2, were all hits, but that lil Ladybug got more ooooh's and ahhh's than the rest of em.

I'm discrete and keep them in my pocket when in public. Some people are too weird with it for me to want to deal with. If anyone see's anything it's the new Cricket I bought to use as a money clip. One guy checked it out today but didn't say anything. Thats the best I got. 
...I have no knives I keep in a safe but there are one or two that don't leave the house...

I don't know if you can call it a compliment, but I get more questions from people about my poliwog, but usually its something like "what the heck is that?" or "who makes a knife like that?" Its provoked some interesting discussions.
The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
