Ken98k how do you like that teardrop jack? Been thinking one of those might be my next purchase.

It's an okay knife but they have a reputation for a weak snap, and mine lives up to the rep.

Great looking knives guys. Just as a counter point, I have a couple of 6235's and they both have really strong snap on both blades. They carry really well too, and the handle shape is comfortable in the hand. I would highly recommend it as a pattern myself.

Edit! I just realized the comment about the weak snap was directed at the Bose teardrop and not the 35! Some people refer to the 35 as a teardrop pattern too, so I was momentarily confused, sorry! What I said about the 35 still stands though, so I will leave it...

Yea, my 6235s all have great snap. I usually refer to that style as a regular jack or a swell-end jack.
The TB62028 is more of a teardrop shape but I call it a "skinny jack" due to it's slender profile.
I'm carrying the same bunch today.

End of work week these served me well.

Nothing like a good old Buck to depend on Dogg! OH

My Benchmade 710 today

Gdogg I like the fact that you put your knives through the paces and it shows. A knife is a tool after all, and a tool is used to do work. That's what you're showing us time and time again and I, for one, appreciate it.

In addition to my Leatherman Sidekick attached permanently on my belt I am drooping this Imperial camp knife rescaled with elk stag by whitebuffalo. The paracord allows me to droop the knife in the pocket and pull the knife out without having to dive into my pocket.....never had it snag on anything...

dogg -- Love that little Ka-Bar jack. It looks like it's in that 3¼" - 3-3/8" size that I've lately been so infatuated with.


Scott -- I have a lanyard that looks just like yours. Now if I could just remember where it came from.

Nice knives everyone.

Jerry, I'm with ya on the 3 1/4-3 3/8" length. It's perfect for me.

GDogg, this ones for you, one of my favorites too! My carry today

Nice kinda leek to have Royal... I have one I carry everyday now. Just picked it off the bay a few weeks ago, Like new.

Thank you Phill and yes my knives really are a tool AND a money maker BUT thru you guys I have seen the art and history in these knives so in my own shallowness I am tring to see what all the fuss is about with a Swiss Soldier,I'm going to give her a ride as a EDC for a week or so to try to understand Ssooo this weekend I'll carry her with my 35 1/2 and a Scallion.

BC I love the bone in that 35 1/2 thanx Jerry and she is 3.25" a great p-nut

This and this

In the yard. Finesse and Muscle. No sheath.

6232 and BM 710

Going with the Buck's around the house today. In the pocket and on the Head!

Nice 6232 Gino.

Mitch I like that Buck ball cap, nice colors. What is that Buck Whittaker Round thing? Never seen one of those before.

Here's my carry today. I got this from oldgoat1911 in the pos roundtable . I think it is the Victorinox executive. It didn't have any handles on it. I had some scrap exotic leathers and skins so I picked out this Cane Toad and glued it on for something different. I kinda like it.

Great mod on the Vic. I had my brother CAD me some carbon Fiber scales for a TinkerEDC

This which a buddy tried to talk me out of He actually offered me a Queen 8450 Lockback and a Schrade+ Stagalon lockback for it!
But for the same reason he doesn't carry either of the heavy 5" knives I didn't want to let the Cattle Knife go for them! I will attempt to get the Queen some other way... it was awesome!

And this which Grandpa obviously used and sharpened!
