Unfortunately out of the 60 or so BMs I've collected, that isn't one of them. A new Autocrat will soon join them though!Does anyone here EDC a Benchmade Claymore?

I haven't handled an OTF Benchmade yet but I have a feeling once I do I'll be hooked.Unfortunately out of the 60 or so BMs I've collected, that isn't one of them. A new Autocrat will soon join them though!
You can carry the Kbar in public.Interesting, not knocking anyones knife preferences but switchblades were never my thing sinice I entered the USMC at age 17 in the 70’s and learned and kept my issued Kbar as my go to knife. Obviously can’t carry that in public so maybe I’ll start taking a look see at the options.
Wear it with your sheath, open, not concealed. Not illegal.Interesting, not knocking anyones knife preferences but switchblades were never my thing sinice I entered the USMC at age 17 in the 70’s and learned and kept my issued Kbar as my go to knife.

Wear it with your sheath, open, not concealed. Not illegal.
Non-folding or "fixed blade" knives are an unusual grey area in the law, but an important factor to remember is that the law only applies if they're concealed or carried with intent to injure unlawfully. Carrying openly without illegal intent is completely legal, and case law has established that being sheathed or otherwise just having the handle visible is not concealed.
You can open carry your Katana Without a Permit .Can I open carry my Katana? Trying to conceal it might make folks ask questions about my unusual endowment. Well, maybe more than usual.
My experience/ opinion is the opposite .Meh. I am I knife collector and have a few OTFs. I think they are worse in every single category than other styles of knife, for practical use. But, they are undeniably the coolest type.
I stand corrected. You're right. Closing an OTF is the easiest, and convenient.My experience/ opinion is the opposite .
Plenty of easy one hand opening knives . The one hand * Closing * of an OTF is way handy .

Fixed blades can be carried openly without a permitExcluding having a CC permit. Would a Kbar be considered a bowie kinfe. Aren't bowie knives still illegal to carry without a permit?
Inquiring minds want to know...
Yes , it takes some looking for blade shapes of my preference ( single edge , plain edge , either clip point or drop point ) . But have such from Lighting in 440C , and Covert in D2 .I stand corrected. You're right. Closing an OTF is the easiest, and convenient.
I just don't like the blade shapes, or the reliability. I think they are cool as all hell, and love my Mictrotech Ultratech Mando edition, but I'd never use it as confidently as I would my other folders.
It is definitely not a Bowie knife. I don’t know about the legality of Bowie knives.Excluding having a CC permit. Would a Kbar be considered a bowie kinfe. Aren't bowie knives still illegal to carry without a permit?

Me too!I'm just in this for the nunchucks :-)
Nice little knife! It’s fun to see people take an interest in one of your passions.Me too!
I did however provide each of my family members who got their HGPs with a Schrade SC60MB as a token of my appreciation for them finally getting aboard the self protection train that I've been conducting for the last 20+ years.
Sure wish you could make it up this way next Saturday the 30th!Me too!

Man I was just about to reply to the meeting thread that I've got honey-do stuff on that day. Actually I've got a guy coming to do some work that day and will not leave the Mrs and The Gooch here alone. If his schedule changes or if there's a call for rain I will be able to come.Sure wish you could make it up this way next Saturday the 30th!
