Post Your Tactical Folders

[cody6268]

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.

Does this count?

Here it is for posterity with no click'n & clack'n.

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.

(But what do I know)?

Well it is actually NOT a tactical folder...

Nice, GSP! Looks likes it's numbered and a very cool lanyard.

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"

Cool deal and I like the connection.

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.

[1967redrider]

Very cool, Steve, nice sleek design. I think probably all CRKTs are made offshore, but the quality is there.

[steve99f]

Thanks RR, I didn't know that about CRKT.

[Samb]

Made in China but anymore it's hard to find something that isn't.

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.

This little knife is really sharp.

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.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

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?

[jmh58]

Nice unexpected score for you!!
