It's likely been said in the forum in the past, but I ordered and just received the KAHR Buck Knife--a very quality piece and something I'll carry daily. One of the better $35 bills I've spent and it arrived within a week. Just sayin'.

Is that the ceramic blade knife? If so, how durable are those ceramic blades?

I know that Buck is a decent knife maker, I'm just curious about the ceramic blades. I've got a few Gerbers and Kershaws and Benchmade, but nothing ceramic.

sure sounds to me like a big add pitch "ceramic". Steel just trumps some things in certain settings. No doubt these knife makers are like gun makers, TEY GOTTA KEEP CHANGING THINGS TO GET US TO COME BACK AND BUY THE LATEST THING OUT..

The Kahr ceramic knives are a fair bit of change ... $90 or $150. I use ceramic knives in the kitchen. They're very sharp but you have to be careful about chopping as they are also brittle and can crack, chip or break.

I was worried about them breaking to. Thanks for the info.

Well, the SS knife is about $35. Would I pay $55 more to get the same knife with a white ceramic blade? No way!

For $20 less, I can get this beauty.....

For me...it was about having a daily carry with a clip. The Kahr Buck knife is just that, a great utility knife that's light, sharp, durable with a 3 1/2 inch steel blade. The ceramic-thing is just a bit of a gimmick from my point of view. I like the steel with the composite handle, particularly for the price!

For the price, that SS model is actually a good deal as far as knives go. Plus it says Kahr which is awesome lol.

My edc knife is a Kershaw Ken Onion leek right now. I'm saving for a Wilson Combat Rapid Response Folder. That knife is as sexy as the T9 in my opinion. $400 is very steep for a knife, but you need to spoil yourself sometimes right?

I don't carry an EDC knife. All I have is a little 2 1/4" Victorinox Swiss Army Knife on my key chain. I am very crippled, so close hand to hand combat is not feasible for me. If I get one, I like that stag scaled Kit Carson that I posted a picture of. Although, the SS Kahr Buck Knife is a great value.

No, but if you put it in a drawer with the T9 you get a Kahr with a tac rail lol.

It'd be a P380 with a tac rail, but yes. Then you could put on the K-Bar pistol bayonet.
