The knife thread.

[Show&Go]

I love a good knife. I can't find one that can stand up long enough to me playing around though. Last gerber I had only lasted 3 months. Havent got a kershaw... yet. Was thinking about a benchmade or spider co. Anyone owned one of those brands?

This is about 2 years old, only been sharpened once and it was with a bench grinder. Tip broke off while using it as a screwdriver. It needs a good sharpening with a stone.

You can't go wrong with a Spider Co.

I've had 2 benchmades issued to me. Liked them, but don't really have anything to compare them to. Both were the spring assisted/push button style. Lost the first one, and the tip on the second one broke while I was trying to pry open a toolbox in Afghanistan. Both were half serated and that came in handy a couple times. This was like the last one I had: http://www.stu711.com/images/bm-9100sbk.jpg . And benchmades have a lifetime warranty. as long as it's not misused. And blade replacements are only about $30.

A knife will last as long as you make it last. Don't use it for a screwdriver, don't cut things that shouldn't be cut with a pocket knife, and keep them clean and they'll last decades.

+1 Even a cheap knife will last if you don't go beyond it's designated use. I use an old swing out Buck that I found when I was still in high school. Only been sharpened once about 5 yrs ago with super fine sandpaper on a workbench, and it's just now getting to the point of needing a stone put to it

I carry the Case Sodbuster at school because its small and doesn't have a clip. Around the farm and shop I use a cheapo lockblade that dad gives out to his customers at work. It needs sharpening a lot because it's soft steel, but it gets the job done without tearing up good knives doing stupid stuff.

Here's one of my Spider Cos Ian...


And as you can see, I'm a big fan of Case...
