Need pocket knife recommendation

[Hunterdan]

Microtech LUTZ. Auto knives are legal to carry and look cool.

I got a benchmade mine bugout last year. It’s my favorite edc nice size and super light. For me the pocket clip is a must.

[Duckologist]

I agree with this, as well. Call me fancy but I like a higher end assisted-opening knife with a clip. I’m sure a younger man would think it’s “cool”.

Kershaw leek is my favorite. Everyday carry and I field dress all my deer with it

Thanks for all the feedback, but it is starting to feel like I started a war!

Here is what I am going to do.

1. Buy my son a new, Case Trapper. Seems like a good knife, and it is relatively cheap. If he loses it, no worries.

2. Reached out to my cousin, to see if she has my grandfather's Case Trapper, from the late 1960's. I saw this knife in the hands of a lot of old-timers, including my grandfather. If my cousin can find the knife, then she can gift it, to him.

If this works out, then my son will have a good EDC knife, that he can lose, and he has a legacy knife to keep safe.

Cross your fingers, to make this work.

Thanks,
Randy

Sounds like a good plan.

I bought a zero tolerance titanium earlier this year, and it is the best pocket knife I’ve ever had.

I've had the big, finger opening ZT for the last 8 years or so and it is with out doubt the best knife I've ever owned. I use it many times a day every day.

Thanks!

If that falls through, Benchmade mini griptilian or Bugout

[Fishndude]

Buy what I buy, buy what I buy

After having basically every brand of multi-tool available, I now use the sak brand, and the only other one I would even consider are leatherman's. In my experience Gerber's, sogs, etc are not even in the same category is the leathermans and the Swiss armies. Good luck

Pot, kettle???

This is for my 19 yo son's Christmas gift. His current knife is a cheapo, that is falling apart.

Are new Case knives still good? Or, should I try to find a vintage Case? Any other recommendations are appreciated.

I collect Case knives.

I stared my son a collection from the year he was born. I add to it often.

Case did a good job back in the 70's in making their tang stamps year specific.

They are easy to find in new condition. Try Ebay or allaboutpocketknives.

Thank you. I just bought the EDC knife for my son, from them.

If you were closer I'd recommend going by that store. Largest CASE dealer in US and the most knives on display of any store I've been in. Almost every quality knife brand is on display. Plus some of the best customer service from the moment you walk into their store.

Case
Moore Maker
Eye Brand
Puma
Old Timer
Uncle Henry
Buck
Benchmade

Good list there. Boker too.

For a young man, I would consider Benchmade Bugout.

Case trapper are great knives I have a few

On EDC I swing towards spyderco, vg10 steel is pretty good, so is BD1 and bd1n
The pocket clip and thumb hole is awesome
I wouldn’t bother with a knife with 8cr13mov in any brand

[austin.28]

Moore Maker is hard to beat
