Post Your Tactical Folders

[FRJ]

Great Dave.
Being happy with a knife purchase is a good thing.
It doesn't always happen that way.

[MITCH RAPP]

Spyderco Trio for work today!

[Quick Steel]

Edit- if you're in the military or law enforcement I'd like to see folders you're being issued.

Standard issue to LEOs at Los Angeles World Airports [LAX/ONT/Van Nyes/Palmdale] was Spyderco Police model.

This Vaquero model of the CS Voyager is what I call my tactical carry.

Some tacticals.

[Quick Steel]

At one time or another these traveled

with me as "tactical." Except for the Buck lockback.

My fanciest; Japanese made. Never carried. To me it is a beautiful knife, very dynamic in the hand.

Been awhile since I've posted, I tend to use the site as a reference resource rather than a place to talk knives, I need to change that and contribute more so currently I carry a Large Sebenza 21 with ebony inlays, a ZT 0770CF and a ZT 0808, all 3 gifts from a friend. As soon as I figure out how to upload/post a pic I'll throw some pics up. In the meantime here's the direct links.

You might want to familiarize yourself with the "Tips & Tricks" forum. ---> http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... m.php?f=98
There is information in there covering posting pictures to AAPK from various devices. Scroll down and chose the thread that best suits your needs. Most all the images posted there will expand by clicking on them.

The CS Scimitar is my favorite "tactical" pocket knife. I seldom carry it today unless I sense a rogue ground hog who may be seeking revenge.

[TheMadHungarian]

Thanks Jerry, I'm so used to usin' a picture hostin' server, I got it now.

For any of you cross forum members I'm T. Erdelyi on the other sites, if you know me there let me know who you are here.

Holy Cats!!

I just noticed, you're AAPK member #25. You've been walk-about for ten years. Welcome home. Good to have you back. I think you deserve a:

[jerryd6818]

By the way. Is there a difference between "Modern" knives and "Tactile" knives? If there is, what is it. Looks like folks are posting Modern knives. I had it in my mind that a "Tactical" knife was combat oriented. And while we're at it, what features on a knife would make it a "combat" knife?

This is Wikipedia's definition of a "Tactical" knife:
"The tactical knife is a knife with one or more military features designed for use in extreme situations, which may or may not include a design capability as a fighting or combat weapon."

And what the hey is a "military feature"?

Edit: For me, a military knife is like a bayonet. Not good for anything other than stabbing someone or opening a can of C-Rats.

[Quick Steel]

Most any knife can be used for most any purpose within its capapilities. But if we are going to use the word "tactical" as meaning anything beyond the marketing ploy it usually is, then I would restrict it to knives designed primarily to be used as weapons either offensively or defensively.

Perhaps it is easiest to recognize, as an example, the difference in design between a trail Bowie and a fighting Bowie. A trail Bowie may well be used as a weapon, but the properly designed fighting Bowie will provide distinct advantages to the user in a fight. So too with folders. I would refer the reader to the photo above in this thread of the CS Scimitar. I consider it tactical because it's primary purpose is as a weapon.

This Medford is designed and intended to be used as a tough cutting/chopping utility tool by the military... Every aspect of it is ultra rugged. Does this make it tactical? I don't know.

[jerryd6818]

I don't know Dave but it sure does make it ugly (One Man's Opinion). I had a Chinese knock-off copy and it was the most uncomfortable knife in hand I've ever had. Had it about 3 or 4 days. Gave it away.

[TheMadHungarian]

How well does the Medford slice apples though?

I remember when they said a Sebenza was overbuilt.

[jerryd6818]

I don't think the Medford was made for slicing apples. At those prices they should include a complimentary Opinel for those kinds of jobs.

It's not a slicer... but I think you already knew that.

It'll cut and chop with the best, like I said in my post with the photo.
