What blade are you carrying today?

Yeah there are boxes, tubs, and piles of blades on shelves upstairs in the gun room. That roll is just the current carry rotation.
 
I picked up this Rosecraft Blades Loosahatchie Jack recently and have been loving it! Made in China, but seems to be put together really well. Came very dang sharp. Makes me want to get more slipjoints from Rosecraft Blades.

image.jpgNot purty, but it’s a daily work horse for me. I had to make 26 splices to repair where underground wires were cut last Friday, and the insulation was fossilized on the wire (14 and 10ga wire) to the point where strippers wouldn’t remove the insulation. About an hour and a half later and the job was done, all stripped with this old VG-10 blade. I just touched it up, and it’s back to shaving hair.

Nothing wrong with a Delica in VG-10. I have a few 😂
 
My daily carry blade is seriously outclassed in the company it keeps on this thread... However it is what I choose each day.
A CRKT M16-04Z has been riding in my jeans since 2007. To the point that all of my jeans have a worn hole in the back pocket where I carry. (I've had to start moving it to the front pocket now)
This is my third. The first one, I lost a few years ago. Bought a replacement online only to find it was a Chinese knock off... Replaced it a week later with a genuine CRKT.
CRKT seems to be like the Dallas Cowboys... people either love them or hate them.
To much information I know.

Dude, that knife is tried and true and the proof is in your experience. I own knives from every budget level and continue to grab my more budget friendly options for days I know I'm putting in work as they are built like tanks and, if I abuse it enough to break it, I'm not crying to have to replace it. I love my Ontario knives and my Oknives that fit that bill for me.
That being said, my carry today happens to be my Medford and a cheap Chinese copy I picked up on ebay secondhand to see how it compared to my real deal. Long story short, it's a functional knife with ok fit and finish. But it's a pocket boat anchor. And generally just a cheap immitation of a great knife.

I think you're spot on about affordable working class blades. I have a $10 bush knife I got from ChThDirt 15 years ago that will not die. The Schrade that I bought as a dedicated bush knife has barely seen bark because of that thing. Not that the Schrade is super high end, but it's far higher quality than the CTD

I have a "guilty pleasure" collection of cheapo Gas station quality knives that are horribly impractical but fun to look at and play with. Gives my inner 12 year old a giggle. 😆
