Pocket Knives ?

The butcher and the surgeon! My 2 favorite carry knives.

Seriously annoyed, I lost my CRKT M16-SFG over the weekend.

Now to decide on a replacement...

Losing a CRKT is always painful!! I lost mine on a scuba dive, was a week of morning and then I just opted for a new one.

I'm also thinking of replacing with another one, but wondering if I should try something else.

I like the CRKT 2 Stage compact with tanto blade and glass breaker

Looks good, and would be easier to sharpen than the tanto with serrations I had.

M21 ?

 

Foresight?

 

Which M16 was it, 12, 13 or 14? Suppose that also depends on the suggestion to what to replace it with.

It was the 14

I think you should consider it's main use before buying.

 

Personally I have (for the second time) the M16-01 (the smooth spear point), as a utility knife I do not like the tanto blade shape nor do I ever use the serrations. So a smooth even blade is my only option when it comes to my work knives, my CRTK and Spyderco Delica 4 are my 2 daily carry options which fulfill all my needs.

 

If you primarily use it as a self defense weapon I do believe the tanto to be a better "stabby" option.

Have a look at the foresight.  I think it's a nice replacement for the 14.

It's primarily EDC for self defense.

I'll have a look at one "in the flesh" (I'm not sure if that is the best or worst choice of words )

Then I would rather go for the Keramin or some other lightweight Karambit, initially I thought the Karambit is a bit more of a gimmick than anything else but it seems to hold it's weight in the SD EDC groups. And as a utility it can be backed up by a Deejo folder, super lightweight so shouldn't be an issue with creating a heavy EDC setup.

I'd definitely also want a folder for self defense as I carry when I ride.

[Letum911]

Hmmm, making things hard here .

 

If money was no issue, and it's purely for SD, I would then go for the Spyderco Civilian. One mean looking monster!!

As much as I would love one, I'm not prepared to pay that...
