But that's another story.

And a LONG and NASTY one too. I remember it well!

I am a little scared of the spring assist knives though. From testing it and reading the law, I think this will pass. But not so sure an officer on the street would agree.

Same deal here. A great knife you can get at Wally World. I have one.
I substituted that knife with a CRKT Crawford Kasper large blade semi serrated, it has a hilt also, which I wanted as he Blur does did not have that.
It is now discontinued. A great knife for the money,if you can find one.
The M16 from CRKT looks like a good one!

Bonovox-thanks for the lead on the Kershaw at WalMart, went last night and picked one up for $59, nice action, didn't know they even carried knives. They were out of allot of the selection but some great prices. Can't have to many knives or guns. I hate that place but for the savings on ammo it's worth entering the dark side.

Anyone versed in knife fighting technique? Iv'e been taught both opponents always get cut and it is always very "messy"

You got it! Did you buy ammo while you were there?

I might go buy me another Kershaw. But I know it will cost me $600.

Yeah the damn knife was the cheapest part of the visit, needed 223, 9mm and 38. The 9mm was cheaper than the last gun show at OC Fairgrounds.

No knife fighting, that's why I have a CCW, I just like knives, another bad habit!

I've carried a leatherman on my belt every day since 2000. But I don't count on it for engaging other humans. It's there for inanimate objects.

Which one do you mostly carry? They are both nice.

The notch on the back of the blade is what allows you to open them one handed out of your pocket?

Ok, for a while, I had the Ultra on the strong side. Extra mag on the week side ( about 8 o'clock) and the cell phone at about 7 o'clock. Then there was the knife on the pocket. Where in the HECK would one fit a leatherman??? Pls remember from 9 o'clock around to 3 o'clock, there is an overhang to contend with.

7 o'clock? Behind your mag?

But then where do you keep your tactical flashlight?

Sorry overhang must go!

I am developing the same design flaw!

On the wave models, that's what that notch is for.

I've been looking at these and really like the "wave" feature. Do they have a pocket clip that can be relocated to accomodate left side/weak side carry? Most that I've been able to actually put my hands on can be switched but seem to be designed with right hand carry in mind.
