#88, as long as you don't chop down some logs in the back of the house, you should be good with ceramics or just put a lanyard on it so no one can take it out of the kitchen!

I am not sure how long this "RatWorx 'MRX Chief" has been on the market.
Notice the Indian motorcycle (gas tank...) influence but be impressed by the elegance of its chain-drive!
At least, I was! I am trying to justify owning one because it is clever and vintage-inspired.
Hi-tech features include: *CPM-154 Wharncliffe blade, *mini roller-chain operated automatic, *nested (L/R) extension springs, *button-op, *tip-down carry.
Ignoring the price (@$350) and auto-open; at 8.75" (22cm.) AOL and 3.625" (9.2cm.) blade makes it probably a felony to carry in some states (for sure, in CA) and can land you in jail at any TSA checkpoint.
I'd own it if it was a <2.5" (~6cm) blade but it is just too big as an EDC, /imo/

It's obvious, lumpy and going to weigh down your pockets and wear them out.I am not sure how long this "RatWorx 'MRX Chief" has been on the market.

This is effective for EDC it comes with a edge but it needs a diamond hone across it a few times to get the tip pointy sharp and make it cut paper. So it will take a edge but requires input from the operator...lol. It's nasty in hand too. I got the stainless steel version and I think I saw a black one at some time too.
KEY KNIFE - BRASS

Then somebody could probably benefit from making them in a more classic finish and style. The format of the knife works really well as a final knife or just a lightweight.
No, No! This is like an original concept and is an automatic (switchblade type).
No, Prince does not do a better Hendrix than Jimi himself.
Funny a person can open carry a sword in Canada if they want to but no switchblade knives. Very bad... Gravity knives are bad too... I've learned to flick it open with certain knives. A long Turkish knife can work welll but may need a break-in period to loosen it up.No, No! This is like an original concept and is an automatic (switchblade type).

Can you legally carry a knife in Canada?
It is perfectly legal to own knives and swords that are not prohibited by design in Canada, so long as your purpose for purchasing and/or carrying it is to use it as a tool. Remember, Canadian law does not allow you to carry a knife for the purpose of "self defense".

I just pass them onto an employee. Better than confiscating at the checkpoint and usually not worth missing my flight to take back to the car.
I carry every day and have no issues in buildings, bars (not often but do)
It stays clipped to my pocket and o forget to take it off most days until going to bed/changing night clothes.
This is my EDC. Need to sharpen it soon.

Ha!
How about this middle-eastern 'knife'?
It even has a rear belt-loop for [from?] a fashionable Bedouin woman (no disrespect)!
For any members interested in kitchen knives there will be a fun event in the Washington, DC area on July 16 featuring half-dozen or so knifemakers, a couple sharpeners, and a vast expanse (expense?) of knives from makers all over the world. It's geared towards Japanese and Japanese-style knives, but there are usually some US and European vintage pieces as well . Attendees contribute to the food and drink. It's mainly cooks. chefs and home cooks, so no limp rotisserie chickens from the grocery store. Last year knives from a lot of emerging US makers were on-hand. Send me a DM if you want more info.

Got one of them 15V steel Manix 2s.
Added AWT linerless aluminium scales in blue and orange flytanium ball cage lock. The blue clip I still had leftover from some time ago.

I don't even look at knife magazines anymore and go treasure hunting on aliexpress for EDC knives, and I have landed on some impressive pocket knives.
My current daily EDC has been this small one:
But I got tired of it.... and bought these two new finds:
Both are under 14cm and there is no such thing as "2-day delivery" like amazon et al.... but I can wait.

M390 is considered to be in the "premium steels" category; whereas, *CPM-154/N690 are tagged in the "high-end steels" and *A2/D2 are "mid-range steels" categories... then, you go down to the *pot-metals, like 440C [<<But I got tired of it....
]The knife's *edge-retention, *corrosion-resistance, *toughness and *ease-of-sharpening are the 4 major criteria each is graded on.
Yes! I guess, similar to *FR, *THD, *SINAD, *IMD criteria.
This one is a quitie!
M390, ceramic-bearings, flipper, purple titanium handle, a liner-lock and a key-chain clip.
Notice that circled torx screw? I did too.
I have NO IDEA what purpose it serves.
Notice the inside of the liner locker that has been machine sanded? I did too.
I have NO IDEA what purpose that serves either.
