Military knives
-
In response to threadstarter I used a Victorinox One-handed Trekker when I was in service. The circumstances of how I came by one is... shall we say... interesting. I lost it about 2 or 3 years after that(it was in a bag of mine that got stolen).
Anyways I managed to get hold of another recently, much easier now that they're officially for sale. The German Army (Bunderswehr) uses the same knife.
Mine:
Bunderswehr version:

I forgot to add that I also own a SOG Seal Pup, SOG NW Ranger, SOG Pentagon Elite II, CRKT Crawford Kasper Combat Folder & S&W Tactical Folder.

I don't know about daggers, I only brought my folding blades out because they're useful as tools.
Heh I have a foldable spade too.

SOG? Yes indeed. Remember counterstrike back in 2001? The knife in CS was modelled after the SOG SEAL 2000 combat knife.

my jack-knife is CMI liao
gone thru a lot of abuse when i was a NSF !!
-
saw my cousin issued SOG Powerlock.. really 3G, think gonna toss me old issue jackknife for this...
-

Funny that people associate knife as a weapon. Come on, it's a tool. Anything can be a weapon. Most people are stabbed with a kitchen knife, not a military or outdoor knife.
Knife is a tool. If you dunno how to use a tool, give you also no use.
Folders have their function. Fixed blades have their functions. But they cannot replace each other.

SOG is a great too but I dun no recommend it. Why, cos when using the plier, the design for the handle can hurt your palms real bad....sores and all.
I am using the defunct Buck paratools. Other great multitool is Gerber.

I remember Buck knives. They're a great brand. Gerber is a good brand too but I prefer SOG to Gerber. Another 2 brands to consider are the Victorinox and Leatherman ones.

I agree. Heck I always tell people "even a calculator can be a weapon if I use one and bash your head in" when they object to my knives.
As for fixed and folding blades, they cannot replace each other because a fixed blade generally has a full tang which allows it to be used for applications a folding blade cant be used for, while a folding blade is handy for carrying in places you can easily reach or conceal.

Long time haven't been here...let me take a quick break from work....
Anyone getting a fixed blade, I recommend a Falkniven F1. I personally have this 3.5" blade and it's a damn sweet tool to have when you are out field or camping.
With 3.5" blade, you cannot chop effectively, but you can baton. Watch Man versus Wild every Tues on Discovery Channel and you can see Mr. Bear Gryils batoning for firewood. He also carry a 3.5" - 5" blade. Nice, handle and not too obtrusive.
The price is around $170 (US) but Shears Technology is selling it for over $250. Do check shipping charges and policies. Apparantly our dear custom (or was it Sing Post) has recently amended thier policies on 'weapon'!!!!! Toopid!
Another nice to have knife is the Ontario Rat-3 or Gerber's LMF II. Have to order but it's a great knife. Youtube/Google it :)
As for folders, I strongly recommend Victorinox's SAK (Swiss Army Knife) - RescueTool! It's great to have it in your car or office. It has glass breaker for emergency extradiction should you or some victims are trapped in a vehicle.
You can also use it to smash other's wind screen for their cash card! KIDDING :$
If you need a plier, Gerber is the answer. Unfortunately, i personally dislike leatherman.
