Which EDC folder do you get the most compliments on?

[waterford]

So I was just wondering which of your production (not custom) folder EDC's do friends and
co-workers tend to compliment you on?

If I had to guess, I would say either the Sage 1, Sage 4, or
the Gayle Bradley.

When I was working, it was always my Kiwis. They all got some, but this one probably got the most...

These two were always good for more than their share as well...

[Blerv]

Probably the Phoenix.

I think most compliments in a day will come for a fancy knife, not necessarily the best quality. Having said that, I think The Deacon cheats. He has more quality beautiful knives than anyone I know (almost) or have heard about.

For me, it has been the Chaparral. I think I would have gotten the same reaction if I had the Sage1 or GB at the time. I am unsure about the Sage4 getting noticed as much. It's beauty IMO comes from the quality more than appearance. It is a beautiful knife but I doubt if anyone who never thinks about knives will really notice it. I might be wrong. But, if anyone does notice it and asks to hold it (and I actually let them) that's when they will appreciate the smoothness, solid lock-up, etc.

At the moment the Sage4 has the most qulalities I want in one knife. However it doesn't scream it's presence which is actually one of the features I like. Great great knife.

I could (and have) say the same about the GB. I cut a hamburger yesterday with the Sage4 and the little extra length of the GB blade would have been nice. Please don't worry, the Sage4 got the job done.

Probably the Phoenix.

Copy that, Blake:



Edit - By the way, those are BEAUTIFUL, Paul! Nicely done!

Dang, Jack, you're gonna talk me into buying a Sage 4 yet. Of course, the wife won't talk to me for a month, but it's a small price to pay!

I recently received multiple compliments on a Cricket. Handy little bugger.

[SolidState]

My ZDP ladybug gets the most compliments, even from the ladies. Who said "bigger is better?"

[PanChango]

I get the most comments when I carry my Dodo. It is an interesting looking knife.

When I lend one out, the zdp stretch gets the best feedback as that one is really sharp.

[Azwaiian]

Of all the Spydies I have shown my knife bros and gear heads at work, the black SE Ladybug got the most compliments. All of them loved how the lil knife felt good in their hands and that it was a locking knife. Go figure, the TI Millie, Sage 2, Orange Para 2, were all hits, but that lil Ladybug got more ooooh's and ahhh's than the rest of em.

[phillipsted]

Believe it or not, my little orange Urban...

I guess folks think it is "cute" or something...

bug on my keychain

[FroOchie]

I'm discrete and keep them in my pocket when in public. Some people are too weird with it for me to want to deal with. If anyone see's anything it's the new Cricket I bought to use as a money clip. One guy checked it out today but didn't say anything. Thats the best I got.

[computernut]

Sage2, Sage4, and Para2 DLC are the ones in my collection that get the most compliments.

[spydusse]

Non knife person noticed how ridiculously smooth my m390 military is,

[Ferris Wheels]

My Gayle Bradley gets the most compliments from the guys at work.

[WxGuyGrant]

My Blue Manix2 gets noticed quite a bit but every time I deploy my waved Delica out of my pocket, heads turn.

[Gerard Breuker]

Knives and compliments don't seem to mix too well nowadays. The Kris rarely goes unnoticed though.

[Onionman]

I don't know if you can call it a compliment, but I get more questions from people about my poliwog, but usually its something like "what the heck is that?" or "who makes a knife like that?" Its provoked some interesting discussions.

[Evil D]

I honestly can't remember the last time, if ever, i got a compliment on a knife i carry. The other day at work i had a coworker ask if my Military was a Gerber, i laughed and said "light years away from being a Gerber" lol.
