SOG Specialty Knives & Tools TF-11 Trident Tanto Digi Camo Knife, Black TiNi

Sog makes the best knives and this is no exception. Looked alot of places and most wanted almost 90 dollars. Well worth it
Worth every penny I've owned 2 tridents this one and an all black tanto. Both are great. I've used one for 6 months without it needing to be sharpened
Great tactical
Great looking and capable knife for tactical carry, different handle material options would be nice though...
Great Blade
The Blade has a beautiful finish and sheen. The profile and point angle is better than other similar coldsteel and CRKT tantos. Assisted open is smooth and arc lock is quick and easy. The paracord slot got caught on the lip of my pocket alot, but when the knife does make it in there the low ride clip is awesome. There is a bit of play when the blade is "locked" open. I would say it is 96% solid when locked open. I have had similar experiences with other arc-lock style knives that have polymer handles. The blades with steel handles (like the tomcat or vulcan) are always 100% solid locked open with no play what-so-ever. All-in-all it is a great blade and I am happy with the purchase!

Columbia River Knife and Tool's M16-14T Titanium Big Dog Tanto-Style Combo Edge Blade Knife

Big Dog
If you're looking for a big knife, this is the one. The M16 Big Dog is a high quality knife that rivals any other, from the Carson flipper to the AutoLAWKS saftey. By far the best knife I have ever owned. Rick
Been around the block
To start, I bought the CRKT M-16 Tanto with Titanium handle almost eight years ago for about fifty bucks, aboard Camp Fallujah in Iraq. I like the way it looked, and I really prefer the Tanto blade over any other. That said, this knife has been literally everywhere with me (to exclude airports, for obvious reasons) and has performed better than any other knife I have owned. It has been on ships in the Med with me, in the sands of Iraq, the training grounds of Camp Lejeune, and everywhere in between. This knife is worth the money, and if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Mine looks almost brand new, and has been used for everything from turning screws, to opening MRE's, to cutting everything from copper wire, to rope. I currently carry it with me everywhere, even to school. Its not too big to carry around discretely, and it is not so small that it cannot do big knife jobs. If you plan on using it to split wood, you are not gonna have a nice day, but if you need a general...
Good production knife design
I've owned this knife for a over a year, it is not cheap feeling or heavy in weight. It is easily carried and easy to deploy one handed without hang ups or excessive tension or lack of tension issues. The knife is rounded in all areas except the finger guard so it does not hang up on anything or have rough edges that dig into you. You can clip it inside jogging shorts and jog without it shaking off or opening due to the clip construction and blade retention characteristics.

The blade came very sharp and is easy to maintain. Some people may find the blade too soft, but I like it for a fine edge and sharpness factor. The safety automatically engages when the blade is deployed to lock it into a secure state of use. There are 2 safety's: 1 main spring lever against the blade, 1 spring activated secondary to add a lock check to the main lever safety making it very secure in locking tension. It is very easy to deploy one handed with no tension issues.

It costs...

Buck 290BLS Rush 2-1/2"

good knife for what it is
I needed a little less intimidating knife for work, opening boxes and general use. i am a big fan of benchmade but they are sometimes hard to find and very pricey. This knife is nice and looks good, i wouldn't suggest letting other see you use the assisted opening since it opens with a flip of the safety and a light touch to the portion of the blade that is exposed on the back strap. Be careful with this one and you will enjoy it.
Best Knife that I have owned
Lost my previous one of these. Very pleased with the sharpness that the blade keeps. Love the locking blade and the fast opening action. If I lose this one, I will replace it with the same knife.
Great EDC knife
As a person who doesn't like to be without a knife, I'm always looking for a good one to carry. Large knives are to difficult. Tiny knives are too..well...small. This is what I consider a perfect size for a white collar type guy. It is light but strong. It is one of my favorites.

Pros:
Great size
solid build
Decent steel
Easy opening and closing with one hand
good looks

Cons
If you take it apart for cleaning...good luck getting it back together

Columbia River Knife and Tool 5250 NIRK Tighe Razor Edge Folding Knife

Love it for what it is; turn blind eye to some deficiencies
Among a bunch of knives I've collected, most just stay in boxes in various bins and drawers. A very few are always out on display, and this is one of them. It just looks awesome.

What makes it awesome is what you can see for yourself just looking at the product images, so I won't get into any of that. Instead I'll mention some downsides that may not be obvious, and might be important to someone who might buy this product for reasons other than its looks.

- This is not a small knife (I suppose that would depend on who you ask), and I've been told people find it intimidating even seeing it on display.

- For me the following would be a fatal flaw if I were to actually want to carry and use this knife: there's no safe way to close it with one hand. Back locks are generally problematic in this regard, but because of a combinaion of factors, this one is especially bad; 1. the lock release is at the very back; 2. the spring is super strong; 3, the handle is...
LIKE NO OTHER
THE PICTURE DOES NOT DO THIS KNIFE JUSTICE. THE QUALITY AND LOOKS OF THE KNIFE ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO MUST KNIVES I'VE SEEN AND PURCHASED THAT COST 4 TO 5 TIME MORE. EVERYTHING ON THIS KNIFE IS IN A CLASS OF IT'S OWN, FROM THE CRAFTSMENSHIP ON THE HANDLE TO THE SHAPE AND EDGE ON THE BLADE. THE ACTION ON THE OPENING OF THE BLADE, AT FIRST FEELS LIKE THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM, BUT AFTER OPENING IT A FEW TIMES, YOU'LL GET THE HANG OF IT.

THE BEST PART OF THIS KNIFE IS THE CLOSING OF THE BLADE. I'LL LET YOU FIGURE IT OUT. AFTER YOU DO, HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THEY'LL GET A KICK OUT OF IT... IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GREAT KNIFE THAT WILL LAST YOU A LIFETIME AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PASS IT ON TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU PURCHASE THIS COLUMBIA RIVER KNIFE AND TOOL 5250 NIRK TIGHE RAZOR EDGE FOLDING KNIFE, FOR YOU AND AS A GIFT FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I DID, AND THEY LOVE IT.
Nice knife
It looks and feels nice. I like the size, it's a little bigger than the standard knife. The reason, I didn't rate it higher is because the main screw that the blade pivots on, came loose. This was within a day or two of getting it. There isn't anyway to really tighten it other than hand tight. I've had many cheap knives and never had a problem with the main blade in danger of falling out because the screw came lose holding it in. I'll have to use some lock tight to hold it. I don't see the problem as being worth returning, but when you pay this much for a knife, you don't expect screws to fall out.
