After seeing all the threads about “grail” knives it got me to wondering if anyone really only carries one “perfect” knife. I seem to find one I really enjoy carrying and then carry it consistently for a month or two. After that it just goes in rotation with the other knives I enjoy.
I started out carrying a sodbuster jr. for years until I bought my first benchmade, which was a BM mini barrage. I never did love the assisted opening, so I ended up buying a Spyderco Delica. For a while the Delica was “perfect” until I started thinking maybe it was a little too wide in the pocket and I didn’t love the lockback. From there I went to a BM 940-1501, and it was my primary carry for a long time. Eventually, I started thinking that maybe it didn’t slice as well as the Delica, and maybe I’m not as in love with the blade shape as I thought. Next I moved on to a Rogue Bladeworks carbon fiber BM Bugout and it is awesome, and I can’t find any complaints yet. Some of the new has worn off and I have went back to rotating through most of the knives mentioned, except the mini barrage. There is also an alox Vic Pioneer thrown in there somewhere that I enjoy. I guess the point to my slightly incoherent rambling is I can’t see myself just carrying one knife, and my search for the perfect edc will never end. How do you guys/gals feel about it?
