OFT knife. too bad everything more dangerous than a banana is banned in germany

A simple swiss army knife.

i used to have a nice black SAK Classic but it was too small and i lost it :'(

>>11410705
I have an opinel but maintaining the carbon steel is too much work when you live in hot and humid texas.

>>11410705
>>11410921
also i use one hand opening way too much now to consider using a two handed folder honestly

Literally can't go wrong

Bonus points for a custom shop / engraved one

>>11410705
>opinel

it's fa sure but it's not the most practical knife, and it's useless if you want to carry in a pants pocket

i had pic related for 5 years before I fucking lost it, all the same since I found it in a parking lot, but they still honored the lifetime warranty and gave it a factory sharpen. good knife. anything with a plastic handle is pretty shit tier imo

>>11410921
>>11411365

once again, shit for pants pocket carry. i love good buck knives, but not for every day use.

what do u need a knife for?

>>11411459
Opening boxes and packaging at work mostly. Also, I think I'm legally obligated to carry one in Texas anyway.

>The only answer is: opinel

Not even close to the best french knife. It's a meme at this point. Every frenchie's got one but that's because they're cheap.

>>11410642
draco knives

Idk if they make them anymore though.

>>11410642
Karambit.

>>11411369
im too fraid to carry this ( i have one) cause the safety switch pushes way too easy

>>11410642
>Karambit

A fixed karambit makes you look like a tool, and a folding one makes you look like a tryhard mallninja. They're lose/lose.

>>11411912
He never said anything about a karambit. Unless you are implying that spyderco is a karambit, in which case you are a moron. That hole is used in place of a thumb stud for one handed operation.

>>11411950
>implying a knife can't be a useful tool
Yes, they can be used for self defence, but I always keep a knife on me, its a good practical lil tool.

I was recently threatened at knifepoint at random 2v4 (only one guy had a knife). My country's laws are strict on knives except the ones with a case over the blade. Therefore I need some good suggestions for those kind. The situation was very scary and if one out of the four of us had a knife things would have gone our way. Sorry for the noobness on this subject.

I carry a Mongolian knife made by nomads

knives for self defense has got to be the worst meme. you're either:
a) escalating a situation to deadly force, increasing your chances of death or grievous bodily harm
b) introducing an instrument which can be turned on you to an altercation which is already deadly, again increasing your chance of death or grievous bodily harm
buy a gun you stupid fuck. knives are cutting tools and nothing more.

Spyderco Sage 1 is pure class.

Your two points are valid for firearms too.

this is what you sound like. nobody's talking about stabbing folks ffs. having a small folding knife in your backpack is just as legit as having your phone charger in there. if it's too much for you to handle, just go post in another thread.

>>11415946
out of curiosity can you tell me some situations in which the knife came in handy?

I'm not the person you where responding to, but i carry and use a knife of a daily basis, i cut tape on packages, cut cardboard for sign making or recycling, process wood for camp fires or cooking, cut rope or paracord, i use it as a utility tool while i sew, i use it to remove tape from the edges of walls when i do painting, i use it for daily food prep, i cut tags off of people's clothing for them. Also knives will create situations where you would like to use a knife that you did not know about before, not that you won't be able to do those tasks without a knife but a knife can make it a LOT easier.

Also knives have such a rich and important history, and they work as great conversation pieces, especially if you run into someone who is also interested in knives.

>>11416092
you can cut a piece of apple, slice some cheese, salami, you name it. you can cut a piece of rope to desired length, you can carve out a pice of wood into sumptuous work of folk art.
Do you have so little imagination that you can only think of offensive ways to use a knife?
I mean, I'm sure you don't keep delivering punches and slaps when your hands aren't in your pockets, because you know your hands can be used in more ways than simply as weapons...

>>11410642
Is a knife worth buying for reasons other than aesthetics ?

>>11416403
How is this a question? You don't run into anything through the day that you need to cut? And even if you don't run in to that problem everyday its still better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

I like this one the most out of all of my knives desu
I don't care if its a meme
