Knives

Every man should carry a knife. Gibbs' rule number 9....never go anywhere without a knife. While we all know there are certain places that you cannot actually carry a knife, every man should own one. Now the key is knowing what kind of knife is appropriate for different situations.

For example, you would not head in to your normal 9-5 job, unless you are military or some type of law enforcement, with an Esse Knife.

This Esse 5 is an AMAZING field knife. Not so much for an every day 9-5 carry knife. With features such as :

Specs:  

O.A Length: 10.88"
Blade Length: 5.25"
Maximum thickness: .25"
Weight: 16 ounces (Knife Only)
Finish: Textured Black Powder Coat
Handles: Canvas Micarta w/ Bow Drill Divot
Blade Width: 1.56"
1095 Steel - 57 Rc.
Sabre Grind
Glass Breaker Pommel
Serial Number On Pommel
Standard Equipment: Kyxdex Sheath w/ Belt Clip

This knife has served as a great choice for a number of people as a Survival Knife.

Some other great options include CRKT (Columbia River Knife and Tool). With a great selection of pocket knives, and EDC (Every Day Carry) knives, there are a lot of various options to choose from for your every day carry needs. 

One of the most important things to remember, again, is practicality. While the Esse knife is very functional, it is not practical for the every day office carry in a regular 9-5 office job.

There are hundreds of different knife companies out there making amazing blades every day. CRKT, Spyderco, Leatherman, Esse, Gerber, Ka-Bar, the list goes on and on. What you need to remember is to find what works for YOU.
