What pocket knives do the people of /out/ like to carry or use.

I currently have a No.8 stainless steel Opinel and No.5 in carbon that needs the blade to be tightened.

/k/ has pretty frequent knife threads. Shitposting has been pretty bad in them lately though.

Finally got me a Douk-Douk. But I usually carry a Leatherman Crater in the country and a Gerber Dime or Curve on my keychain in the city.

I highly recommend the Kershaw leek. I use it for everything. Sturdy blade, tactical low profile grip, and it is amazing for batting. Made from the finest space age technology, it's the only knife I trust. I would take a Kershaw leek over a mora any day

But it's so smooth. It needs more grip.

I know this post was a joke but i regularly carry and g10 Leek with a row ride clip on it for an edc. Ive had it for years and ive had no problems with it. I know people say that the tip is fragile but im not prying doors and shit open with it. And the g10 takes the slippery grips issue out of the equation

It's basically a folding french version of a Mora.

Not nearly as much of a fag following though

Opinels are a nice little knife for light use and on a low budget.

I love my Opinel no8.

Pros:
Cute
Feels good in the hand
Come sharp from factory
Costs less than $10 USD
Pretty damn light

Cons
Not the most durable
Blade is very very thin (Can bend easily)

Forgot one last thing!

I would not suggest it for much more than day hikes, get something more...'robust' if you're out more than a day

That only matters if you're planning on doing bushcraft or need to process wood.

An Opinel is a fantastic backpacking knife. Light, holds a decent edge, cheap and not too scary. It's all I carry for multi day trips and it works fine for me.

they're most useful for food prep + light cutting

another problem is they are hard to open if you're wearing gloves, so they're kind of useless in cold weather

I use them as harvest knives because they are pretty sharp and cheap.
The one I use most is the serpette, very useful for harvesting brocoli and lettuce.

What I dislike most about them is the locking mechanism.

It's kind of effective, but you have to fondle around with it a lot and it just adds more risks of cutting yourself if you have to use the knife frequently.

I prefer a fixed blade in a sheath for my everyday work on the farm.

I have a no 6 that I can get razor sharp but I've gotten lazy because I can't open it one handed so I just carry a Leek
