Looking for a good knife, suggestions?

[Rifter]

looking for a good knife, small enugh to wear on a boot but big enugh to do some dmage, i have been looking at some, can someone suggest any other companies? preferably canadian but anything will do.

Been looking at this one
http://www.coldsteel.com/ODA.html

And
http://www.coldsteel.com/peacekeep.html

Anyone have better suggestions?

In the same or lower price range, as thats about all i have to spend.

the peacekeeper is cool. you can't go wrong with cold steel knives.

have you thought about a neck knife? my favorite is the Culloden. They are so cool, and the best part is you can wear that thing and never have to worry about getting your knife out fast enough. It just pulls right out of the sheath that is hanging on your neck. It's fast.

Cold steel is a good brand. Have you looked at the SRK? Ive had mine for about 7 years now without any problems! I bought a bunch of throwing knives from them around the same time, and they are still good too.

Yep cold steel makes good knives along with quite a few other companies, quick question first though. Do you have any real training with the knife? And do you know about the local laws for carrying and usage?

 

[Rifter]

I do know how to use a knife, i have taken Basic knife traning, from a martial arts teacher freind of mine. I dont care about local laws as i dont plan on killing anyone, just would like to have it if someone wanted to kill me for some reason.

spyderco. nothing else. www.spyderco.com they have a few 3.5" - 4" blade knives, the calypso jr., endura, native, delica... all of their knives are very nice. There is a guy on ebay, I think his name is 'knifesales' he sell's new spyderco's for very decient prices.

stev0 <- buys all his knives from knifesales.

Might I ask why a knife??

I always opted for the collapsable metal baton, as it looked badass, and quite effective.

I guess to each his own though..

A friend of mine has one of these and he has it loose enough so that you just have to flick your wrist to lock it into place. You can clip it anywear and if I remember right it has 2 locks for the blade.

 

[StageLeft]

Get one with a long, sharp blade that can cut deep into the chest of your enemies.

 

[yoda291]

make sure it locks good and strong. The last thing you want is to stab, have the blade collapse, and lose 4 fingers.

The problem is most basic martial arts training on knife usage and defense is bunk and as little grounding in reality. I've seen plenty of guys talk up their knife defense then I put red marker on the blade of a training knife and proceed to mark the guy up like no tomorrow. Seriously if someone pulls a knife on you the best thing to do is get the heck out of there, even if its an idiot that has no idea he will still probably cut you to some degree, its just a matter of how much.

 

[thomsbrain]

what are you going to with it? kill someone?

haha, I can't imagine spending money on that kind of stuff.

 

[Brutuskend]

Never thought I'd see the day, but FFMCobalt and I actually agree on something for a change!

Get a KA-BAR I had one in the Corps, and they are GOOD knifes, and somewhat cheap.

My roommate found the *perfect* knife. I'll get back home and post the link

[teriba]

What the hell do you need a knife for? Steak?

 

[spanky]

cutco knives will cut thru anything

 

[yakko]

I have been using the Spyderco Endura for years.

 

[Kenazo]

a knife wielding canadian. yikes! I hope you're not in winnipeg.

 

[Croton]

folding knives are great.
spyderco and benchmade are awesome knife manufacturers!

if it's legal in your state, get a balisong -- aka butterfly knife- - they are bad ass.

also, you will have to look in your local laws to see if it's legal to carry a knife on you -- and how to carry it.

 

[Tominator]

I've several Cold Steel knives. Go to a large Gun Show for the best deals on any knife.

 

[d33pt]

how about a good benchmade balisong? make sure it's legal in your state first tho
