For those in the US, today is National Knife Day! Happy slicing to all! To celebrate I'm carrying the first Benchmade I ever bought, the Mini Griptilian from the first year they offered it in S30V.

I will always upvote Benchmade.

Kershaw Shallot, super comfortable even with the bigger size. It is nice and flat. Sadly discontinued, hopefully it will stick around long enough to be a good present to my son when he is older.

Kershaw Shallot

I have the other 3 "Onions" but I never grabbed the Shallot and I kick myself for it.

Check ebay, the do come up from time to time but I have noticed the prices going up lately.

Yeah, I looked yesterday and, well, I'd like having a complete set but not that much! Wow.

I've had the 154CM version of this for years, love it.

I was on the fence for a long time, because (at the time) I had never purchased a knife that expensive before. Finally I got ready to buy a 154CM one from a local shop and then Benchmade released the S30V version. The shop was going to offer it, at the time, for only $5 more so I waited just a bit longer. :) Been a regular carry ever since.

Such a great everyday knife.

I got my JerryRigsEverything knifes

[–] cetan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will profess my ignorance, I had not heard of Jerry Rigs Everything before. I like a good folding utility knife. These look great!

Standard replaceable razer blade in a well built handle for dirt cheap. Plus his phone teardown videos are great.

I'm only carrying Le Duck today, but it's my favorite neck knife.
