WHAT ARE YOU CARRYIN RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR FAV EDC?

Me...the "King of Queens"........never.......I was born in Brooklyn!!!!

Even better! Flatbush here. Moved away for college, haven't left the south since. Planning on retiring in upstate NY though.

Bensonhurst for me.....how far upstate?

[Tsar Bomba]

I love the blade on the thing but the handle, not so much.

I love a gunstock frame. That's the best part of that knife for me (that and the color/shadow pattern).

Bensonhurst for me.....how far upstate?

Catskills, probably. I had designs on my grandfather's old ranch near Liberty but with real estate the way it's been that quickly grew out of reach. Playing catch-up but I may need to settle for something smaller. The well water in that area is legendary, to this day the best I've ever had, and straight out of a tap at the perfect temperature. It's part of the watershed that makes NYC water famous.

Carried a 2-spring Imperial Kamp-King that took a crazy sharp edge along with a way underutilized Schrade 206 today. It's rare that my OHO fits the watch pocket but so it is with this Micro-Recon. The two black knives set side-by-side are only a millimeter or so thicker than the Barlow.

Tony that mini recon is an amusing knife, does it have a clip?

It does not, it's flat on both sides with a "lanyard" hole which a keyring had been threaded into. I removed that and carried it on a small ball-chain on my keyring for some years, but I swapped it out for a Vic Classic SD (alox) some time back and it's been mostly sitting among my other modern folders.

Blade is surprisingly sharp, it will bite if you aren't careful. Makes a hell of a box opener and backup utility knife.

I have to ask.....was this knife a stand up comedian in its previous life?

Sorry.

Does it look like a clown to you?!?

The ones in pink, green and orange most certainly look like a clown

Hey now, not all the green knives are clowns...

[KnifeSlinger#81]

Oh I agree, i very much like green. I said that because the green mini recons are a very bright "toxic" green. At least some of the older ones were.

I call that Zombie Green, and for the most part when I see "tacti-cool" stuff with splashes of that color (or any "zombie" reference whatsoever) I move on. Basic black is fine for me in that department.

I have the same rule about "zombie" stuff for ammo, too. Lookin' at you, Hornady...

Nice knives, guys!

Haven't been able to get this one out of my pocket for a few days now.

Thanks, Ken. I really like the blade too. Not only does it look good, but it's super sharp.
Do you not like gunstocks or is it the handle material? Either way, for shame. jk I've always liked gunstocks and the handle is a vintage Westinghouse recipe (my lousy picture doesn't do it justice). Westinghouse called it "turquoise glass weave micarta" or something along those lines. They called it micarta, but it's basically G-10.

I think it's the lack of bolsters that leaves me wanting.

Before or after the Dodgers abandoned their fan base and moved to the left coast?

Same year (I think). 1957.

That's a nice one, Royal! We don't run across Cattaraugus brand knives around here . The only one I have was sent to me by an AAPK member.

Royal, does your knife have a model number stamp on it?

[bighomer]

Royal that's pretty, I think I've got it cousin.
