"Semper Paratus " |
Some of the comments in the M390 vs. D2 thread started me thinking, and now I'm curious. How many of you regularly carry and use a $400-ish knife...BKC Gold Class, CRK, whatever? And by use, I don't mean opening the mail and cleaning fingernails.  | ||

i just have a few knives over 400$ ... however all of mine have to be used ... i would add that prices are not synonymous to edc preference: a classic 710 find its way to my pocket easier than a sebenza...

if i buy a used knife that was once worth 400.00 but i paid 200.00 i would use it but n.i.b. would be a tough nut to crack. when you can put a 710 960 950 707 in your pocket for 1/4 of the money and the are all great knives.

Regularly carry and use an $800 knife. I also carry the Gold Class Griptilian. If I ever decided to pay the price of admission for a more limited gold class, I would still carry it. I can't buy knives that I won't use. 581BK-1102 Hybrid, 585-1BK Mini Barrage, 587SBK-1 Mini Warn, Bradley Alias I LE, 581, 525/Bone Collector, 941BLU, 520BK/Bone Collector, 760Ti Krein Regrind, 583SBK-1 Warn Tanto, HK14210, 707-701, 140HS, 551-101 Gold Grip, 941BC, 950BK M4, 220, 30, 42, 32, 53 | |||

I regularly carry a CRK Umnumzaan and the Gold Class Griptilian. I don't abuse em by prying out nails or scraping rust, but they do anything else I ask. If I have a particularly nasty job I'll usually grab an inexpensive knife like a Smith & Wesson or a Columbia River. Once in a while one of those will get ruined, but then I'm only out $30. ********************** ********************** You are the Sum of Your Actions. Knife Rights Member | |||

If I owned a Gold model BM I wouldn't use it, as an investment it's another thing altogether and very collectible. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

The gold class grip is the most usable gold class ever - especially with a DLC M4 Ritter blade it it. I carry it and use it a ton - having DLC on the blade is a lot less worry than the normal coatings. I also carry a 525-81 w/ ironwood scales to work many days. When I get some new scales done, I plan to add an Osbourne 670-701 to the mix as well. Of course I don't use any knife very hard - just isn't that much to cut in my vicinity most days...
