That Becker bk40 is a natural fit probably a little bulky in the pocket .
For the first question you missed out on recommending the Kershaw Cannonball
Question for DCA and crew: Any knives you guys consider “must-haves” or are incredibly popular that you just personally never owned or didn’t care for? Without throwing shade at the knives themselves, that is. I personally don’t care much for the Kershaw Leek, I think because I’m not interested in spring-assisted knives. Otherwise its a cool design and inexpensive. Does Thomas have knives he sees you or Seth geek out on and just go, “I don’t get it…”?
Griptillian is the FIRST comfortable, and still most comfortable knife I own
Opinel knives are fun to carve into
Survive! knives have the TSK (tactical steak knife) for $179 each. They tanto or drop point blades, made from CPM-3V, with a Kydex sheath. Scales are black & blue G10 or camo G10. No serrations on the blade. They exist, but I would make my own if that was the alternative.
Worksharp field sharpener is awesome for the guy that asked for portable easy sharpener. Yeah, it's kinda like a stone sharpener, but gives guides to make it easy and also compact full design with multiple grits, ceramic hone, and strop. The diamond plates are quite good, and durable, in my use, as well.
Ive been using a leek for years. Ive broke the tip and actually made it into a tanto. Love my leek!
Biker Patriot is good bugout replacement or a SOG toothlock
This is an excellent video in this series. The handle issue was a great idea.
