    this time of year and my sebenza spends 95% of the time cutting into packages. I do almost 100% of my Christmas shopping online so I am getting 2-5 packages almost every day for 2+ weeks

  •   Cardboard is abrasive and will dull a knife very quickly. 
     I prefer to cut the tape when opening packages.

    I've been carrying a CRKT for the last 18mos or so.  It's been used to cut food, boxes, and nearly everything else a pocket knife will run into in its life. It is starting to dull though and could use some sharpening.

    Take a look a knives by Cold Steel.  Very high quality.
  • Years ago I bought a all black big ole cold steel knife and sheath, I had it clipped to the visor of my truck. One day I lost it, I left the sheath on my visor as a reminder of my dumbassery.  
     Many months later I was getting in the truck and something caught my eye, I couldn’t believe it, I had set the knife up on the hood by the windshield and it slipped down below the wiper arm and had been riding there ever since.

    I ended up getting myself the Benchmade mini crooked river for Christmas. 
  • @Lit I love their axis lock. I bought the grandfather in law a benchmade griptilian for Christmas. that axis lock is excellent

    and that is a beautiful knife. I like the mix of classic and modern it has

    I'm more a Spyderco and Chris Reeve fan but damn, that is a nice looking Benchmade. I like the orange detail. Enjoy it!

    @Botch how do you deal with the everyday challenges of shrink wrap and the seal-all plastic on about everything you buy that isn't a custom product?  My biggest challenge is to remember to leave it at home for short (no checked luggage) flights.  However, recently in Europe and the screening for museums was as detailed as any airport.

    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
  • I feel naked if I don’t have a pocketknife.  Back in the 70’s, we all carried the Buck 110 folding hunter in a belt sheath.  I wore one out every 5 years, and Buck replaced them for free! Those were the days!

    My EDC is a small Victorinox Swiss Army knife. It's honed and stropped to a razor's edge. I have a box full of larger folding knives that never see service,

    I have a very old Stanley boxcutter in my kitchen drawer, and everything that I bring home/gets delivered comes through the kitchen, first.  
    I do grab my Swiss Army knife when I go camping, but that's about it.
