Survive Knives GSO 5.1. Can't decide between 3V, 3V coated or CPM 20CV. Also, Hinderer XM-18 3" and maybe the ZT Emerson colab. I do have a custom Ti kneck knife on the way.

I got my grail knife a little over a year ago. I wasn't very impressed. I really love the looks but it just wasn't so much more awesome than my production knives like I thought it'd be! Since flipping it (pun intended) I have played with others and I disliked them too for the same reasons. I still catch grief when I voice my opinion but a few buddies have convinced me to try a different size. That being said, I doubt I'll find it for the price I wanna pay! Anyway, pix of my XM-18 3.5..
I sometimes lust after a Ray Laconico Jasmine and Direware Hyper-90. Maybe one day I'll seriously consider getting one but by then I'll probably have moved on.

This thread is fucking boring! WHERE THE FUCK IS ALL Y'ALL'S FIXIES?
My favs...
I totally EDC the top one every day.
The DFK Ti Backpacker is still my fav EDC fixie. I use the shit out of it. The only thing that keeps it from being light-saber perfect is that it wont shave hair. (it COULD but that would require actually sharpening it one day) It fucking cuts, doesn't really need to be sharpened and opens beer! :rage:
I have been carrying my SK GSO 4.1(god that's a lot to type and I didn't even type out Survive Knives!) SHIT, now I've completely screwed up! Anyway, I wouldn't call it EVERY day carry but at least once a week. I really can not say enough good things about this knife or the brand. I highly, highly, go rob an old person, recommend these knives!
Last but not least, my Amsler OPMT... I know, I know, It's probably NOT what anyone was thinking when it comes to fixed blades BUT it IS a fixie. I use it every single day. It picks my teeth, my nails, it cuts open boxes and letters! AND it opens freaking beer! LOVE IT!
tell me/us more about these two please, both interest me
The bottom is a Rexford Knives R.U.T. It's a Ti bottle opener, pry tool and holds a standard utility razor blade. I have a Lenox Gold razor in mine. These are sold out for now. I'm pretty sure more will be made.
The top tool is an Amsler Knives Ti Bottle Defense Tool. It's solid Ti with the cutting edge and inner part of the bottle opener being carbidized. It comes with a kydex sheath. These are discontinued as far as I know. There is an s35vn steel model that is available.
I haven't really used the RUT yet as I just got it. I don't want to carry it on my key chain or with a lanyard so I've ordered a leather SLUT. Also, the RUT is a bit redundant since I have the Amsler. I use that almost every day. It's my favorite OPMT. :turtle:

Underwear silly! In my RF pocket where my other folders usually go. Fits pretty good in the 5th pocket too. Regular SAKs just go in my pockets wherever.
