What pocket knife for brew day?

What pocket knife for brew day, or edged helper? I use a Spyderco Manix 2 or an Endura or Delica. The Spyderco Delica is a little more PC, in mixed company.
What do you use for brew day?

 

I use a chainsaw. every tooth on the chain is another chainsaw.

 

What do you use a knife for on brew day?

 

wolverines. duh.:rockin:

 

I use a SOG trident, but that's always with me.

 

Opening bags of hops, bags of grain, cutting string, because I'm out side for 6hrs, I may smoke a chicken. I thought this would be a knife kinda crowd?

 

Opening hops packets, yeast packets, bags of chips while you wait for the strike water to heat up...

I don't use it specifically for brew days, but I edc a Kershaw Leek or (when I can find it) a Junkyard Dog.

 

I use a Gerber Paraframe Mini and a Victorinox Sparten not just on brew day but every day.

 

Spyderco Delica SS...always in my pocket

 

Leatherman Skeletool, always in my pocket.

 

I always have Anduril on my hilt.

 

Knifekits.com FL005 with purpleheart scales. It is my EDC, sharp, hard to dull and pretty( that does not help performance but makes me happy)

Sadly last weekend it went missing. So I might just order an FL009 and leave it stock.

 

I edc an HK ((I forget model number)

 

I go with one of these puppies. Sometimes I carry one in my sock if I'm in Brighton and expecting a rumble

 

The Katana that is always across my back.

Duh.




(Actually, I find a nice pair of scissors best for opening bags of brew stuff)

 

I use a brown Spyderco Delica 4 ffg for cutting open boxes or bags of malt and my Victorinox Cadet for smaller tasks such as hop packets and yeast.

 

My Kershaw Blur is usually in my pocket. But I typically use a pair of scissors for opening bags of hops.

 

For a pocket knife it's either my SOG Stingray or William Henry that I've had for years (they don't make the model anymore, and I've forgotten which it was). Both have great steel for the blade (VG-10) and hold an edge for a very, very long time. I made the lanyard that's on the SOG, since it didn't come with anything for one.

There are things I open that I don't use the pocket knives for. Then I'm either using my Henckels scissors or the ones I got that are non-stick (Scotch brand).

 

I have a big knife I use for everything that doesn't require shootin'. I found it in my grandfather's shed after he died. From what I could find online, the blade is from a famous German Company, Gustav Emil Ern. It looks like he made the handle himself.

 

I use a pair of scissors. It's pretty badass.

 

You've never had a brew day where things got out of control? Sometimes you gotta keep it real and keep your friends in line.

 

You have deeply offended my shears. JK

 

Viking sword for big brews. A katana for the more delicate beers.

 

I'm hardcore:

 

SOG Trident Tanto, great knife

 

Wescott. 8" Titanium blades. 60 degree hand honed edge. Scissors. Blunt safety points for living dangerously while sprinting.

That mylar never knew what hit it.

 

Depends on the job. If I need to open a bag of hops, I use my EDC Delica 4. If I need to open a fermenting bucket, I use my Dewalt Reciprocating Saw.

 

I use one of the following:
Syderco Cally 3
Benchmade Doug Ritter Mini Griptillian
Benchmade Emissary

 

I keep a small, but effective and handy Spyderco Byrd Robin 2 at my side. Nothing in a brew day it can't handle.

 

I use one of these!


back in reality, I usually have scissors on brew day but almost always have a CRKT knife that I have had for a number of years in my pocket. dont remember the model though.

 

I always have a leatherman c33tx pocketknife on me. Blade, solid Phillips and flathead screwdrivers....and bottle opener!

 

I dont bring a knife to a gun fight. If anyone gets near my wort....

 

I always have a leatherman micra on my keychain. Comes with a pair of scissors on it that I use all the time, as well as a couple of blades, screwdrivers, etc. that I also find handy on brew days. I have even used the tweezers once when I got a particularly nasty splinter in my hand.

I even have this same color.

 

I've got a Buck 337BKS Paradigm Pro that goes everywhere with me. Scissors, on the other hand, I don't carry around on a daily basis.

 

My daily carry is a Spyderco Police with combo edge. I also have an Emerson design Benchmade that has collected dust since I got the Police.

 

I prefer an Acheulean hand axe. All kidding aside, I'll either have my Leatherman Freeystyle CX or Wave on me.

 

I bring a knife to a gun fight, my fist to a knife fight, and some jello cupped in my hands to a fist fight. :rockin:

 

Always a Kershaw for me, it always seems to be sharp. If i dont have it on me I use my teeth.

 

Tiny Swiss Army pocket knife. Scissors, knife, flat screwdriver, file, toothpick, tweezers.

My old one also had an LED light and Ink Pen, but I lost them and am down to just this. I use it at LEAST once a day for my job and around the house.

 

I have a Boye cobalt folding knife. It is nice.
