Questionare:
1. Do you own a knife that you carry on your person? yes
a. If so what type, and what uses does it provide you? a leatherman and a spyderco endura with the 50/50 blade. The leatherman does all the million things I need it to do for my job. The spyderco is an insurance policy.
b. if not, why do you not carry a knife?
2. What are the positives about your particular brand, style and shape of your knife? (material, wieght, form, etc) Talking about the spyderco here. Great little knife. Durable, sharp as hell from the factory, I prefer the hole rather than a thumb stud - I can get it flipped out faster that way. The weight is great. They managed to make a hard plastic handle grippy with the texturing they used, although I've fortunately never had to use it in earnest, and if I did I'm wondering if the blood would make the handle too slick.
3. what problems do you face with your knife, what would you change if you could about your knife? the clip. The resin that makes up the handle has a channel in it that secures the top of the clip. Doesn't take too long for this channel to get damaged by the clip trying to move back and forth. Then it's very hard for the clip to stay in place. The screw holding the clip also tends to come loose often, so half the time I wind up with a very loose clip.
