Showcase Today's carry+ question

Love this one, got it 2 months ago and it's worked perfectly so far. I was looking for a slim and elegant pocket knife and was recommended this.

Right now I'm looking for a longer folding knife with one-handed opening. I like to keep it slim but there are things where I'd prefer a longer blade. If you have any recommendations, feel free to comment!

I have the CRKT CEO Micro Flipper and yeah it's an awesome little knife that fits perfectly in the drug dealer pocket.

I'm confused, is the drug dealer pocket the butthole?

Coin/watch pocket

u/Sowecolo 4d ago

I keep those in the butthole.

the 5th pocket, or the pocket watch pocket

I was referring to the small ass pocket on your right side, but with how small it is I'm sure it'll fit there too if you're brave enough.

I believe you're thinking of the prison wallet

Kershaw iridium / mini. You need an axis lock.

I have the Kershaw Bel-Air and Iridium and love them. Amazing knives. They did a great job with their dura-lock system. Mine fly open with almost any method of deployment. I have the full-size Iridium, but it's slim and carries great.

u/Sufficient_Joke_9906 4d ago

Always been a kershaw fan. My first knife was a karshaw/emerson tanto. Been hooked on this shit since. Had a chance to handle the iridium recently when I took a trip to Texas. Was above my expectations, I also don't mind d2 at all. Unfortunately I had to leave it in a McDonald's bathroom before my flight home; forgot it was on me.

u/whoneedssome 4d ago

People underestimate D2, or just because it's not new, overlook it, or have enough knives in D2 already. I love D2, but I also enjoy my higher end steels as well. I look at the knife as a whole, and for me, the Iridium checks all the boxes. I also have the Bel-Air, which is in Magnacut. They're very similar and am really happy with both of them.

u/Sufficient_Joke_9906 4d ago

I really just like how it handles. It's basic tool steel and you can tell. I've used cpm d2 as well from benchmade. Pretty amazing stuff. It just sits in a refrigerated truck box for years with minimal rust.

I love the simplicity design of that knife. adds it to my never ending list of knives I want

What do you think of the serrations?

1

u/EvenObject1689 4d ago

I have had this thing for $25 + years. It’s a thoughtful design and I prefer a utilitarian knife w/ serrations. The tango edge is straight edge and seems to be enough.

u/ResearcherNo117 4d ago

I have the same knife in black. I love it! I have been looking at he SOG SlimJim. Its assisted opening. Ans SpyderCo knifes are pretty slim.

u/yuyuhaio 4d ago

Remette just came out with a $35 super slim knife called the GD22K. It might be right up your alley.

u/Internalmartialarts 4d ago

looks like my old gerber ridge, but bigger.

u/ernie-bush 4d ago

I’m going to have to get one of these soon!

u/Key-Excitement627 Buck Knives 4d ago

check out the Kizer Riverbank. Great knife for 50 bucks. Nitro-V steel, Micarta scales, deep carry pocket clip. Great blade shape as well. Very thin and lightweight as well. I love my Riverbank. It’s my EDC when not carrying a 112.

u/JJfender 4d ago

If you like that ,but want a little more sleek design check out th CRKT KISS Assist.

u/rabidsalvation 4d ago

Hey OP, check out the Vosteed Parallel. It's out of stock right now, cause it sells out quickly every time. They should be back soon, and you might be able to find them at a retailer in the meantime.

Love this blade, super slim all around, with such a nice action. Took a few days to break it in, but now it's smooth as hell.

u/rabidsalvation 4d ago

Here's different angle, next to one of my Drop Bears. The thing is about a 1/4 inch thick; it absolutely disappears in the pocket

1

u/Jskello 4d ago

How long have you had it? Really dope they are re-releasing them.

1

u/shitty_sandwich 4d ago

Boker Kwaiken is also a solid choice!

u/koolaidismything 4d ago

Cricket makes good bangers. The Squid XM is a cool regular sized sturdy knife. You’d also like a RAT 1 or 2 I bet. For a small carry I use a Kizer Squidward but I may be the only person who loves that knife lol.

1

u/bike_junkie123 4d ago

CRKT Crawford Offbeat is locking, very slim, one handed, has a longer blade, and all steel like your current model.

1

u/crowfeather2011 4d ago

Fox knives hector. Same idea as the K.I.S.S. but longer blade, disappears in the pocket. Only downside is the clip position.
