Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Graeme]

There's an article at The Guardian about the author's relationship with his kitchen knives. It's an excerpt or precis from his book, and an interesting read.

I think I'll have to check out the book.  That was a solid teaser.

@Seul:

I'm looking for a Hinderer XM-18 3" for myself btw… If anyone has one for sale or has a lead... Preferably non-flipper, but doesn't matter much... Will keep an eye on Bladeforums B/S thread of course but they go fast on there... And mostly 3.5's for sale as of right now - too big for me...

@Seul have you taken a look at Rick's newer model, the Half Track - that he launched last year? Similar blade length but the handle is beefier and (I feel) much easier to maintain a solid grip with when in-hand. The production versions are starting to filter out now.

[Seul]

Bit too bulky imo… I see the XM-18 3" is available in stores now... Tempting...

I can take a shot of it next to a 3.5 XM if you wish to gauge size. It is really not that large compared to the 3".

[Seul]

Nah the 3.5 is too big for me…

3":

BLADE SIZE: 3"
TOTAL SIZE: 7"
CLOSED SIZE: 4.125"

My small Sebbie:

BLADE SIZE: 3"
TOTAL SIZE: 7"
CLOSED SIZE: 4"

How do you guys carry your pocket knives?

@JDelage:

Front right 90%, left rear the other 10%

My small, thin knives get the bulk of the duty…

Thanks - but I don't like the bulky handle…

@JDelage:

Right front pocket. When wearing shirts that might snag it out of the pocket: left chest pocket.

@JDelage:

Front left always.

@JDelage:

Right front usually. If its tip-up carry then sometimes left rear. Very rarely sometimes IWB at 3 o'clock.

Should have posted in here a while ago!!

Here's my Richard rogers axiom.  I've been an RHK guy for years still have a good number of them also. These axioms are amazing

Nice knives, but I really don't like flippers.

I've been trying to carry clipped in front or w/out clip in back pocket. All and all, I think I prefer the back pocket as I don't have to adjust the knife when I sit.

[kkibbey23]

Thanks!

Yeah I'm basically the other way. I only have flippers.  Rogers makes some pretty cool non flippers also.  The fit abd finish is off the charts.

I clip front right pocket 99%of the time.

I guess I do have one non flipper…

Tres cool. I collect custom knives, mostly handforged, fixed blades. I generally have a Spyderco Param2 with me, and or a small Sebi.
