And I’m better served by having a low cost Kershaw via China via Walmart in my pocket with another one or two as backup than I would be with a knife so costly I would be afraid to use it lest I lose it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. To me you put your pants on you put a Case in your pocket. Usually wear that on the left side...and a Benchmade on the left. One does normal things. The other is more for dealing with life's issues. And i have regretted the loss of every knife that someone found. This is my steppin out gear. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
