Post Your Tactical Folders
Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
That's something I've always wondered. While the marlinspike, TL-29, USN Utility Easy Open, a couple of Stockman-type patterns with "Property of US Govt." markings, various Scout-like knives (esp. the "Demo" pattern) are more in the line of traditional folders, they were commonly used by militaries. Same with various pliers based multitools and even some Swiss Army models. Would these not be tactical knives?
Even though the term when applied to knives has usually these days, moved to typically describe a knife that can be opened with one hand, is lockable, and features aggressive styling.

I'm having one delivered today. Mine has the Bohler N690 Stainless Steel blade. I prefer the drop point style to the tanto blade as it is far more useful.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:28 amHere it is for posterity with no click'n & clack'n.Captain O wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 7:18 am <img src="https://www.bladehq.com/imgs/knives/tac ... 636-jr.jpg" alt="Ontario XM-3 Utility Automatic Knife G-10 (3.75" Black) "/>
Does this count?

I used drive a "company car" and I had to have a radio "call sign" in the olden times and the # on the knife is one that matches my old "call sign" #, so it makes that knife a little special over others in the "stash"1967redrider wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 3:31 pm Nice, GSP!

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
Saw this in the latest Knife magazine and heard it calling to me. Reasonably priced, light in the pocket and the hand, fast opening, slim, and the color choice is great as long as you like maroon or raspberry. Nice sized knife, well built with no slop in the blade in either direction and made in China,unfortunately. And the only place it tells you this is on the box. The knife doesn't indicate country of origin. Maybe the box is made in China?
I like it though. CRKT Stylus.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
Very cool, Steve, nice sleek design. I think probably all CRKTs are made offshore, but the quality is there.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
I just pimped out a CRKT Squid in Jade G-10 with a D2 blade. Added a Flytanium Titanium scale and an Emerson Skull lanyard from Schmuckatelli Co. Also removed the pocket clip, which seemed unnecessary with a lanyard. Picked up a Copper scale too.
More info on the Emerson Skull here; https://www.schmuckatellico.com/pages/t ... 0782&_ss=r
This little knife is really sharp.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
This tactical folder arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I bought. This particular tactical folder was NOT the target of my purchase. It is a Taiwan Stainless tactical folder. It has a partially serrated blade. It measures 3 3/4" closed and 6 5/8" open. It has one tang stamp. It has a movable thumb stud. I find myself actually liking the "Erector Set" handles. I've played with it for a couple of weeks now, gave it some pocket time and it has earned a spot in my EDC rotation. It is in EXCELLENT condition and required minimal cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Post Your Tactical Folders
Very cool EDC, Skip. Isn't it funny how a certain style of folder can just seem to fill the right void in our collection?
