So... I need a knife for work. Any suggestions?

[PyRo]

Why don't I like the Gerber Gator and everyone else does. Hmm

[beam]

I was going to reccommend a swiss army knife....Victorinox. But then I actually looked at some of the ones that people have posted.

But I have had my Huntsman since 2nd grade! It rules!

I got my swiss army knife when I was about 10, and its still around

Here is anoter vote for the gator. I have owned both the Gerbers posted and the gator is FAR more rugged. I had my gator for about 3 years and lost it and the other one for about 1 and killed it. The Gator was still going strong and I an a terorist to knifes and other sharp implements.

I'll tell you what, I second this suggestion. I've had this very knife for a few years. Its sharp as hell. It has a duel edge blade, with teeth and smooth edge. (That rules for ripping through stuff), and its a very tough design. Plus it has a very neat "carson" flip open finger nub that makes for unequalled ease of opening.

BUY THIS KNIFE!!!

You didn't happen to loose it in a streem did you? Because if you did its on my desk

gator

Gators are nice. The action on mine was so smooth I was able to open it by flicking my wrist. *SNAP!* and it was open.

I used it for two season of wildland firefighting. I even used it to cut the battery cables of a burning car. Pretty much indestructable...
until my fathers rat terrier decided to make a meal out of the grip.

Only down side I can think of is that is a bit bulky.

What he said. I own one, they open SUPER smooth, awesome knives, and not too pricey.



I have the one on the bottom. I love it.

I own a Benchmade Mel Pardue limited edition combat folder. Granted, it is WAY too expensive for something that you are doing with a knife. BEnchmade makes perhaps the best folders out there. Check out their site. Again, it might be a little too pricey, but, you get what you pay for. Good luck.

Puma makes a good pocket knive. Its a German company. I've had one for about ten years now and only thing thats stopsed working is the lock(I had it fixed).

$28.95

This one! http://store.airgun.com/acb/showdetl...ID=321&CATID=7 yea yea i know its a box cutter...

[edweird]

I own my fair share of knives... but my recomendation is to stay with one of these companys due to high quality and utility of their creations.

Benchmade- Basicly in my eyes the AGD of Knife makers

Spyderco- Alot more flashy... but insanly durable as well

Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT)- Truely Function follows form

Gerber- They do make some low ended models... but their true unilty knives cant be beat for the cost

hehe I was just going to post that!! Box cutters are the bomb, always razor sharp, never need to be sharpened, I carry box cutters at work. But I've been looking for a wicked sharp tactical folder for a few years now, without any luck. I need one that is

*under 50$ so it can be replaced if lost
*won't come apart, they tend to loose that darn screw in the hinge
*REALLY sharp

I'll pry take a look at some ckrt's though they got the right look, price and that special hinge screw that doesn't come undone easy...

Heat, I can't say enough how good my CRKT knife is. It opens so smoothly with such minimal motion its almost a switchblade. The blade is extremely sharp, and after a year, still nice and durable. The blade is also the perfect size.

Plus they look really nice and although the handle is a tad thin if you have large hands, they are really comfy to hold.

AGD Superknife. Its a utility knife so it will work.
