Too many expensive Benchmades in this thread. What is this? The 200 forum? I need to see some of the 80 series knives. You know the ones I'm talking about. The "I found this one abandoned sticking out of the mud, it was rusted over and wouldn't open. I took it apart, used an electrolysis process to remove the rust, oiled it up and sharpened it on my stone and then put it all back together. It's the most badass knife on the trail now and will cut through anything!" Where's those?

Those kinds of knives are all living in jeeps. Benchmades are kind of like landcruisers. They are made for real use in real world environments.Too many expensive Benchmades in this thread.

Fallkniven F1 for everyday chores (laminated steel VG10) sharpest knife out of the box I've ever used.
For years I used a knife I found in the dirt (Spyderco) cleaned it up and oiled but
lost it somewhere. Time for a replacement I think.

I have a benchmade Adamas fixed blade, but it’s not usually in the truck. 80 is back in Kentucky so no pictures of the leatherman.
It’s interesting how a lot of us buy the same gear...

I have a simple leatherman skeletool that rides in the driver door pocket.
Its compact and often goes in my pocket.
Leatherman is basic, but gets a lot of use and has been enough to get me out of trouble many times. I also have a selection of driver bits that go with it in the door pocket
I also usually have an esse izula knife in the car that gets used a lot when camping.
And usually a cheap little folding drop point blade.

How about a little KA-BAR?
Ive sent them emails and never heard back. Will try the telephono today, what a cool invention.
Always had good luck with their support. Have shipped several to them to repair, no charge and quickly shipped back.
Spyderco Endura with the Emerson opener. Been my EDC knife for 10 years. Great knife and faster to deploy than an automatic. Always in the 80 since its always in my pocket.
How is this tech for an 80?

Reach out to Benchmade. I've heard good things about their Customer Service.

What knife do you use to dig the rocks out of the tread of your tires on the Cruiser?

Great point. I've heard the S40V is a pain to sharpen but holds an edge a lot longer than 154CM. I've sharpened my Benchmade to shaving sharp but tend to use my knife for everything and lose the edge quickly.I am noticing a trend with the Benchmades, they are well made production knives.
I fell into this same thought trap. But I have owned, used and sharpened a lot of knives. I have come to a personal realization that I would rather have a steel that is easy to sharpen by hand in the field and still holds a good edge.
I love 154cm when it is properly heat treated. I have a couple of 440 stainless bucks from the 60's and 70's that also are very easy to sharpen but hold an edge very well. So much of a steel's performance depends on how well the heat treat was done.
I have noticed that different steels seem to sharpen differently. For example I feel like a well forged and heat treated O1 carbon blade likes sharpen to a very toothy edge that just seems to slice flesh better than other steels even when sharpened to the same angles.
Keep them coming everybody, and remember pictures need to include the 80 series or it didn't happen.
Here is what I keep. I have used the lighter a time or two.

Hey Enox. I like your Profile pic choice. Great minds think alike!
On Topic. Leatherman Wave in the center console.
Cheap Gerber folder. Complete with Bear Grylls branding. I also drink pee recreationally.
