[rea1eye]

Does anyone know any famous people who are said to carry pocket knives?

e.g.President Dwight Eisenhower loved to carry a 63 pattern knife, which later
became known as the Eisenhower.

I think general westmoreland carried an ivory handled randall with red and blue spacers. Can't remember for sure.

Sonny Barger, founder of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club carried a pocketknife but was better known for carrying a Schrade Sharpfinger. In an interview he was asked why he carried it and Barger commented: "A lot of people I ride with carry that knife. I actually prefer fixed blades — like the Sharpfinger — to a folded blade. Although I carry a folded blade too, with a fixed blade you don't have to reach inside your pocket. It's always handy, on your belt when you need it. I use my Sharpfinger as a tool. I do everything with it. I like knives with sharp points. You never know when you might want to pop a balloon or peel a banana."

On NCIS, Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs, carries a ZT. I don't know which model but I noticed the other night it has the Tiger striped blade. Very possibly an 0350TS.

MacGyver, played by actor Lucas Till carries a Swiss Army Knife. The model changes from episode to episode depending on the needs of the plot.

But maybe that's not the kind of information you were looking for.

Knives carried by Abraham Lincoln and George Washington are documented. Elmer Keith, the famous firearms author had his own fixed blade designed and was a give away for magazine subscriptions. My dog thinks I am quite famous; do I count?

If you can get your dog to post what knife you carry, then it should count.

Keith Richards is reportedly a huge knife fan and always carries a blade. But, according to what I have read, his knives are custom made...no run-of-the-mill factory production folders for the famous Rolling Stone rock star.

And, of course, everyone knows about Bear Grylls.

I think steven tyler (the second rate mick jagger) also carries custom folders.

Singin46 is a vocalist and how about 313Mike, didn't he have a cookin' segment on TV, where he always showed a pocket knife?

Thanks for the posts so far.

I figured there would be more politicians, actors, singers, statesmen, etc who are well known to the
world and carry a favorite knife.

They need to get with the program !!

Several famous country artists carry and collect knives. Willie Nelson and Randy Travis to name a couple. Randy Travis is reputed to have an extensive Case pocket knife collection.

Mike, your grilled cheese sandwich looks wonderful. My wife has made them with pimiento cheese and shaved ham for years, butters the outside and browns it in a skillet. I showed her your video. She's gonna try making it your way, with the Parmesan and the onions. Heard you mention Abita beer (BTW it's pronounced Ah-bee'-tuh) there toward the end. One of my favorite beers - I especially like their dark beer called TurboDog.

I'm sure country music star Zac Brown carries a pocket knife since he owns Southern Grind. They make some awesome knives.

[AR Norby]

Back in 2009 Blade Magazine did a profile on Shelly Berman (a comedian for you youngsters) who was/is an avid knife collector.

Great looking sandwich, Mike. However, I didn't see any pocketknife on the table in that clip?

I spy. Left click twice to enlarge image to it's max size. This could be a new thread, "Spot Mike's Knife". New knife every week. Bonus points if you can tell us what brand the knife is and if you can tell us the model, it's triple points.

Note the blonde has a hump day coffee cup sitting in front of her.

Is it just me, or does the object in the red circle look like a computer mouse?

Thanks Jerry, AIRBORE ALL THE WAY! That's a Army equivalent to a Marines HOO RHAA or however you spell it. Nice cup. Terry

Hey Vern, Jim Varney was a knife collector, how about Teddy Roosevelt, Davie Crocket, Daniel Boone, Sam Houston, and of course Jim Bowie. I'm sure most of these crossed your minds. One more while on my mind though I dont know his real name the second actor to play the lone ranger.

If it is, that would mean I'm wrong and today I've already met my quota for being wrong so I don't want it to be a mouse. We'll have to ask Mike.

Terry, it's Ooh Rah. In spite of what they say, I never heard it used during my enlistment. Keep in mind, I wasn't a grunt so.............

The knife is right next to the cutting board, it has a yellow handle. I caught a glimpse of it in the first part of the video, 49-59 seconds into the video.
