    I buy the $4 walmart Ozark trail folders. They are as sharp as they need to be and if I lose one or the blade gets damaged I won't feel it in my wallet. At that price they are not even worth sharpening though I have yet dull the blade on any of them.

    16" Tee Ball bat.
    I call it a tire thumper.
    If 'tire' means 'head' I guess I got my nouns mixed up. :(

    A hammer is good. I use it as a tire thumper.

    Owning a truck, scheiss always needs to get smacked around anyhow.

    I buy Fuller brand hammer, still made in the USA (yes, some of us Canadians are loyal enough to do this).

    BTW, go to
    US Knife Laws | KnifeUp
    and enter the state laws where you are going for orientation. In the truck, most states will cover the truck in the "castle doctrine."

    Im an old first responder. I've used my blades primarily for seatbelts. In a crisis, you have to be quick.

    I've used the cheaper knives before, and there's nothing wrong with them. But like you, i do prefer a quality blade as they hold their edge better, better handle feel, safer locking on a folding blade. And the straight blades come with a much superior thick leather sheath.
    It's like Mac tools to Harbor Freight.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Nice! Obviously you like a curved blade with big belly. Those 2 fixed blades look like beefy pot bellys meet a reversed karambit . Insane looking fighting knives. I'm impressed. I'd be interested in see the sheaths on those. Wow
     
    TripleSix Thanks this.

    I just visited the white knuckle site. Nice knives and not badly priced. I saw the sheaths. Can do scout carry or traditional carry. I'm impressed by those.
