What is it about a new knife?

[Matt]

That makes me so happy????

I snagged this knife out of the Cabela's bargain cave.

I got the email while at work early this morning that it was delivered today, so I have been looking forward to getting home and checking it out. Upon first glance, it seems like a decent knife. Obviously not one of those high-dollar knives that you can get, but not bad for a knife I paid $25 out the door for. The holster is pretty nice too, fits snugly, pulls cleanly. Nice little self defense...cough...er...ah...cough...utility knife.

I love new knifes, i gotta pretty nice Jeep knife for christmas, along with a Gerber from the gf

You can never have too many knives

 

[Matt]

Nice! Are those assissted opening? My normal "pocket duty" knife is this Kershaw Blur. I have been a big fan of them too.

 

[moundhill]

No, theyre both just regular folding knives. The Jeep knife has glass breaker (knub on back) and seat belt cutter (looks like gut hook).

 

[Hoytmania]

Any idea on what that Jeep one runs Mound? That would be a nice knife to have in the bunkers at the department.

Thanks! Found an M&P that is almost exactly the same only spring assist on ebay for $11. I think I am going to get that one. I am due for a nice pocket knife.

Does everything from open boxes, gut deer and peel an apple.. The only blade i carry.

Can anybody tell me what the big deal is about serrated edges?
I don't like 'em.
Tell me one use or advantage - 'cause I don't see it.

No serrations and gets the job done nicely...

There is a time and place for em Dan.
serrations track the material into the blade better... start w/ a hunk of rope.

My other weakness. I have at least 50 knives. My EDC knife is a SOG Flash II. Assisted opening with a half-serrated blade that is super fast and strong. I like half serrated blades for cutting everything. Takes a while to get through rope, wire, etc with a straight blade. Old Cases, SOG, Kershaw, and Buck are some of my favorites. I need to get the family together for a pic. For the money it is hard to beat a Gerber. Here is a pic of my EDC.
