Yeah, I dunno.
A lot of what’s advertised on Amazon as “Damascus Steel”, isn’t.

I also have two. For some reason, the stainless steel san mai version never felt as good in my hands as the original. And you’re right about that near-indestructibility. Some of the early advertisements showed someone punching the knife through a car door. Another one showed the knife being hammered into a tree and then someone standing on it. Mine has a wicked razor edge on it.

I have no idea. Don’t even know what kind of edge it would take.

This sounds like an ai written article

Me too. Do you have a belt knife? I bought one off the Jason Hanson website, but it doesn’t have much of a finger guard. I really like the idea of a belt knife and I’m looking for something I feel more confident with.

Noss had a YouTube channel years ago that did knife destruction tests. I think it was taken down. The GI Tanto was ridiculously hard to destroy.

Those knives will get heavier and heavier the farther you have to carry them. I still carry the BUCK folding knife I bought in 1985. 2 1/2 inch blade.
Got a big box of others I picked up over time. Several would do as a carry knife if I did not have the BUCK, mostly Swiss Army Knives.

I have a old Kbar folding knife with a 5 inch blade. I bought it years ago at a yard sale for 50 cents. A little mineral oil to lubricate and a three way stone then steel it and it holds a nice edge.

No belt anything. All my edc knives have a clip (pic)and go inside the right front pocket. Concealed and easy to use.

Yep. Of course I have Leathermans etc., but after trying everything out there, Spyderco is all I use anymore for single blade EDC.
Love the G10 handles and am now addicted thumbhole deployment. Fast.

I pocket carry this one but with a serrated back edge. A belt knife is very convenient if sitting down or for fast draw.

Gerber MKII. I have several, perfect balance! Got one for each kit, hunting packs, riding bag, bug out bags, SAR bags. Hard to find now and they are not cheap.
Bonus fun fact, it was highlighted when Bishop did the knife finger stab in the movie Aliens on Hudson in the first act. Which developed into the “Knife game” trend a few years ago.
To: nickcarraway
Titanium for a knife blade? Uh, no.

Can be opened _and_ closed with one hand!
