What are YOU carrying?

[360 frip]

Why is there a knife company trying to sell me lock knives on here?

This could probably be in whatever, but it is on the front page so it must be skate related.

What a creepy slogan.

What does this thread have to do with skating?

[police state]

[Baron Samedi]

[nice_guy_2]

They've(Kershaw)been having ads in Thrasher the past few issues so I guess it's all high speed productions. Maybe somewhere along the way their marketing team sensed skaters were a viable demographis to target. I'm in maintanance and have carried a blade all my life. Kershaw are some top notch knives though if anyone cares.

i carry the dgk x diamond ice pick.  i really liked the colorway. 

[kamltoe]

kershaws are cool. they have lifetime sharpening and aren't too expensive. nothing is better than a benchmade. period. although for the contemporary/skater set, neither hits the buttons as hard as, say the james brand knives. they are fucking amazing and run by cool people to boot. expensive though.

Doesn't Rowley have a knife company? Fuck Kershaw, keep our knife companies in skater's hands.

[cool spot]

kinda surprised this was moved, isn't it an equally valid topic as worst sponsors?

I carried a knife in high school when I thought i was cool. I still have one somewhere, but i would never skate around with it. keys wallet phone is already too much.

Good choice. Never know when you may need to pick ice.

I hadn't realised all skaters were carrying.

I'm thinking this:



Could we get some gun ads too?

[headtowall]

i always have a lock blade and a credit card knife on me at all times, if NYC was a conceal and carry I would carry a gun always too.

[Rumpleforeskin]

Shit..  Everything but coke, heroin, and your cock.

[JB]

i think kershaw would be a sick sponsor. i carry a knife (spyderco if anyone cares) and its handy as fuck, and if someone wanted to give me free knives, that would be awesome. i dont know why everyone doesnt carry a small pocket knife or multi tool with them because i use mine a ton. i dont think of it as a weapon or a form of protection or anything like that either, just a nice thing to have and i get a lot of use out of it.

Benchmade are decent production knives. If you can handle them in person and see what you're getting they'll do the trick for the average daily utility. If you're buying online, try to talk to the dealer first, because the quality control on the fit and finish, blade grind, centring etc, is sometimes brutal. If you're paying Benchmade prices, you shouldn't be worried about getting some dull, wonky ass blade with stripped torx screws.  Some of the shit they let hit the shelves is embarrassing. Spyderco on the other hand is not fucking around. Best production knives for the money. I say this as an owner of more than a few of each. Kershaw makes great beater knives. Fun flippers and assisted openings that you wouldn't be too bummed to fuck up or drop somewhere. You're not going to be running a Kershaw for more than a few years. Cheap steel is just that. Also the clips are horrible.

Also, that Black James blade looks tight. As for civil ware. LOL at 150 bucks for a blade made out of a file. Heat treated or not, that shit is a stupid idea.

[360 frip]

Are you guys all outdoors men or rapists?

Stopped fucking around with knives when I was 12.

Out of interest,  how many of you carrying are from the US?

[ADOLF SHITLER]

bought a new kershaw on sale for 20 a cpl months ago. i carry it most the time but not just for protection, lol its like the old saying why bring a knife to a gun fight but a lil blade can be useful for alot of shit

[Chris Hansen is back]

A reasonably sized pocket knife is a versatile tool. It shouldn't be thought of as a weapon.

People who carry a "tactical blade" for "self defence" have obviously never read any case law around the use of knives in an attack. Let me just say that if you don't absolutely think you're going to be murdered, don't pull a knife. If you are at risk, go ahead and pull the knife, use it, and enjoy your jail time. Try explaining in court that you had it on you to open mail, or slice your apple at lunch.

I saw a series of images on imgur of what Americans carry in their purses/bags ... ALL of them had a knife! A lot of them had guns too. I was socked beyond belief.

If you need a knife as a tool, get the swiss knives, not these single purpose stabbing sticks.
