Re: boston killed it
Yeah, it isn't exactly useful for carrying, I actually think it is illegal to carry concealed in missouri. But it is wicked...
On normal days I carry something with more practical uses (other than just to kill people). Have you seen the spiderco delica with the emerson wave feature? I have one of those, but honestly I don't carry it much because it lacks serration. But the opening from the pocket is great.
For great serration, I would have to agree with you about benchmade. I can't remember the style name that I have, but the blade is half serrated, so it does double duty. The thing I don't really care for is the "plastic" handle, and the overall bulkiness. If I am wearing snug jeans, the benchmade bulges my pocket, while some of my others do not. When I am in arborwear techs, that is when the benchmade is carried.
For halloween last year I had two blades concealed on my person, and no one had a clue.
I am trying to get a knife from all of the best manufacturers, and curved blades are my favs.
