As of late I have been carrying my Ganzo G719 and rotating it with my new Ganzo G707. The Wenger (Victorinox) "Rambler" and Case Yellow Delrin "Peanut" are carried at the same time as well. (Three knives, no waiting). :wink:

Same old same ol. Traditional lfp (4 line Camillus cattle knife today), SAK Spartan rfp, Spyderco Military clipped rfp, and a Ruger 1911CMD 45 right hip 3:30.

John I love the Military for the same reasons in the winter. I can grab hold of it, open and close it with my gloves on all one handed.

It's a total wash for me. I got the PM2 first but the Benchmade has been every bit as impressive, and I'm now a True Believer in the Axis lock after being skeptical at first. They are #1 and #1a in my modern folder pile, and sometimes it comes down to the choice of saber grind vs. FFG to decide between the two.

It's that da%$ed axis lock that's to blame. It makes the knife into a play toy. I can't stop playing with them. It's too addictive... :lol:
