For another answer to Scott's question, what draws me to tactical folders is the ease of deployment.

For work, I am a Tugboat Mechanic and sometimes a deck hand out on the water. One of the things about my job is handling lines. You never know if one of those lines can catch you or something like that.

If that happens, I can reach into my pocket, and with one hand, the knife is pulled, blade is deployed, and I can do my work.

The above was just an example. I havent had to do that, but again, its the ease of getting the knife out to use. There's no fondling around in the pocket (because its usually clipped to it) and searching for the knife. Then once its out, in most cases, it takes two hands to open it.

Eric,
Have you checked out the BM Barrage or BM Presidio. I have both of them and absolutley love them. Also, CRKT has just came out with a whole bunch of new knives this past month.

Hey, Im a huge CRKT M4 fan and a huge BM523 (520 but tanto), any you suggest?
Comment by Keelen Grimm on May 2, 2009 at 10:42
Scott,

That is a great idea. I will create a new discussion for reviews so everyone can find them in a central location.

If anyone has a "Tactical" specific review that you want to post you are more than welcome to post it here and/or under the reviews discussion. Hopefully this will be ok for everyone.

You'll be surprised to know that many of those serving know don't really use their knives but instead use multi-tools. First, "tactical" knives are made to kill people (sorry if this get's a little politically incorrect or offensive), and they already have something that's much more efficient: their gun(s) and other armaments. Second, they need a multi-tool to pretty much be able to do maintenance on their weapons, gear, etc. Plus wire cutters come in real handy when one of the Humvee tires blows-out and they need to cut the mesh wire frame of the wheel if it get's in the way of moving. In all reality with those in service, the knife is sort of a cool way of showing off, since everyone has the same standard issue equipment and really only the smaller items can be somewhat different. Though, no doubt, if one of them had a cool knife, it's to say they won't use it to pry open a door or cut their meals.

So, pretty much the tactical knives are pretty much siphoning to the general public and not really to those in service. Some of the companies won't even donate a few of their so-called "best" knives to those in service, not gonna name any names....

I sold most of my tactical knives and bought other stuff with them. :D

It would be nice to have a collection of really fancy customs (RJ Martins, Bright Tighe, Jens Anso, Striders, etc., etc.), but right now I don't see the merriment in paying thousands of dollars for a folder that won't ever serve me, let alone meet up to my expectations, as a knife. And... yea, I actually do try not to abuse the knives that I know will probably break (like my Grip, stopped using it after the incidents, and I will not use my Nimravus to the extent of, say, my RMD).

My heart goes out to all the men and women serving in the armed services. This is a link to an article showing some of the knives that our military personal choose to carry while deployed in Afganistan. Enjoy.
