just picked up a sog flash II because ive been working wiith rope alot lately and needed an edc with a serrated blade. had it for 3 days. so far so good
I had a sog flash 2 for a while, with the exception of the clip breaking(I dropped it from the top of the plane by accident), I loved it. Now my edc is a smith and Wesson special ops assisted opener, it has a kicker in the back which makes it feel like an auto, love it to death, feels good and holds and edge very well..
My SOG Flash II is made with AUS8 that, from my limited knowledge, is in the same range as 404, and i wouldnt want it to be harder. its soft to where it has some give, and wont chip horridly, but hard enough that it doesn't have to be resharpened after every use.

AUS-8a holds an edge a little better than 440.
I picked up a Cold Steel knife that uses AUS-8A...now I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about different steels as I haven't done any research, but this sumbitch came shaving sharp. I can see a collection starting...knives are really cool.
Anyone get anything new or cool lately? Anyone not posted their EDC in here yet? Anyone have more knives than they can shake a... stick... at? Just convinced myself to finally drop the dough for an Emerson Mini-Commander (went for plain edge/stone wash), after reading some stuff from Ernest Emerson about why his knives are the way they are, and the amazing places his knives have been, and amazing things his knives have done, etc. Just felt like something I needed to have (and use). Any Emerson fanatics?
Hate to revive an old thread. Wouldn't do it if it weren't for the fact that I was about to start a new thread by the same title. Been doing some research on a new EDC, not that I carry every day, but it's nice to have a knife handy that holds an edge. I'm pretty sold on the Kershaw Leek, but I'm curious what anyone's thoughts on the Damascus steel blade are? It looks good, but I'm not sure how it holds up given the reviews. Any input?
I carry a Spyderco, holds a edge with the daily abuse I give it.
I carry SpyderCo or Benchmade pretty much exclusively. If you want a knife that lasts a lifetime it's really cheaper and better in the long run to spend the extra coin up front and get the best you can. I use mine daily many times a day and always have my Benchmade Balisong on me (thanks again Jay!!!), perfect knife. Also both of those brands carry lifetime warranties
Top is a cheap Gerber I use as a box cutter. The middle is my camping Tanto that my dad made for me, and the bottom is my everyday picket knife. Had that boy scout knife. Lost it sometime after I made eagle then recently found it, and have carried it ever since. I love that scouting knife.
