What blade did you EDC today?

@sparkyDK

I am looking for but cant find a larger cheap foldable knife, something like 5” blade.
Most seem to be the 80 - 90 mm more pocket friendly size, but i am as always looking for a bit more.

Opinel no. 13. :sunglasses:

Nice, but he wants a folding knife.

I would’ve recommended a Fairbairn-Sykes, otherwise. That’s one of my favorite playthings.

A couple of my XL folders : Voyager XLs (copy), Opinel No.12, Spyderco Farid K2 (copy).
The Enlan EL01 is only there for size reference!

Those cold steels are huge, all are copies?.
The enlan el01 is a big folder, bigger than a lot of chinese knives, people can imagine que the size of the others…

Yes, all of the Voyager XLs are copies.
Size is relative. After using these beasts for a couple of days every normal folder feels so tiny!
The Opinel is the cheapest but that’s the one I use the most in the kitchen.

I’m not a big fan of non-locking / slip joint folders but this PITS is an exception. It’s a clever design and it can’t leave my pocket since it arrived. It feels very comfortable holding it in the hand. The weight of the steel handle plus the excellent fit & finish give it a premium feel. The blade is shaving sharp and it slices like there’s no tomorrow.
It’s not a flipper but the “flipper tab” serves as a finger guard. It’s a clever feature because I can’t imagine closing the blade on my fingers. Another nice feature is the placement of the spring bar. When you hold the knife in a normal grip your thumb pushes it down reinforcing the lock-up.

Thank you

OKAY ! better go have a look then

I’ve been carrying the basic Spyderco serrated blade Delica for a year or so now and haven’t regretted it.
It can’t even cut butter without making a serrated mess of it, but the blade cuts extremely well and holds an edge much better than the steel seems like it should.
The 3/8” or so of plain edge tip is sufficient for many tasks that are better suited for a plain edge, and that part is very easily sharpened,
more often than not on the unglazed base of a coffee cup.
This light and reasonably small knife spends every day clipped in my pocket and requires very little care, while being very useful.

I never really cared for the Spyderco blade aesthetic, but once I finally gave it a try and began to appreciate its utility my perception changed; beauty is in large part form following function.

If this is an attempt at very dry humor, I missed that. What else is an Opinel 13 than a folding knife? It’s not fixed blade and it’s a knife. On top of that, it folds. That should be more than enough to qualify.

Yeah, the size of that critter makes it like a folding meat-cleaver.

It folds, but probably isn’t very pockettable, except maybe in Hammer pants.

Piston D2, I really like its unique separate flipper tab design.

[anycolourfloyd]

i prefer classic designs. i carry an oak/stainless opinel 8 at work, olive wood/stainless opinel 6 in my hiking backpack and a buck 110 camping.

Perfect for peeling apples!.

Well, not with that attitude.

My EDC is an olive wood Opinel Inox #8 (it even still smells like olives a little bit!) and I keep a Carbone #10 at my desk for miscellaneous cutting duties and an Inox #6 in my tacklebox.

I like Opinels, is what I’m trying to say.

Still the awesome SRM LAND 910+, at 96g it’s even better.

Gotta take some pics of my modded SRM 9055 since I realised that Photobucket is not totally useless after all if just everyone installs the

Quartermaster style Qwaiken with steel handle:

I like the kwaiken style. I am happy with my y-start k5011 and lk5010.

[isti242]

The LK5010 is an excellent folder. I like mine too.
