All About Pocket Knives

Iman... WOW!!! WOW!!! Dude that pic is AWESOME!!!!! John

Some sweet ones out there today, and always, fellas!
Had this with me today

Two usuals this weekend
most days one or the other but I also carry I Benchmade every day to work and considering carrying it on the weekends as well

Mr. Carcosa, welcome aboard!

Nice mellow stag on your Barlow Steve, I like it.
I had the same two as the previous two days along with me.

I need to figure out how to carry two knives with decent size blades.
The work Boker does everything. Wouldn't want to slice an apple or anything with that blade.

Nice ones Greg
I always loved that Winchester glad to see your keeping her with you
Same today for me

This is in my pocket today. It is a friction folder made by J. Mutz. The scales are cattle bone.

Welcome, Carcosa. I'm pretty new here myself & I figure that some of these people have so many knives that they HAVE TO carry several at a time. Some probably have to swap out once or twice each day, too. I find it very entertaining in addition to being very informative.

Thanks jmh, the Japanese Maple is turning. Matched the old red bone.

The Snakewood has darkened over the years. Never been overly impressed with this knife, but it is a good knife none the less.

Not normally drawn to single blades, but that one...
That one really impresses me. Gorgeous knife, Kris.
What's the closed and overall length?

Thanks Steve, 4 in closed, 7 3/8 open.

Thanks. Right in my preferred range of 3-1/2 to 4.

Oh, by the way, thanks for keeping the pics coming!

This is one of my favorite threads.
Love the show here.

Same as yesterday, pile side this time.

Montanaman, reference your Laguiole: Some years ago at the Blade Show a French representative of the brand was on hand and was deeply frustrated by Americans. He explained that almost every visitor to his booth asked "What is the hardness of the steel?" He would reply, as I recall, it had a Rockwell of 46 or 48. Thereabouts. This invariably resulted in the visitor looking disappointed and walking away. Exasperated, the Frenchman forcefully asked, "What the hell do you Americans cut?"

big-H, if that Diamond Edge were a stockman instead of a Texas jack I could reproduce that photo exactly.

Tony W., even your "normal" factory-built knives are attractive. What kind of bone is that on your peanut?

Old Gebr. Hoppe (Solingen) pen knife with a curious "1kg weight" stamp and a newer Queen Hawbaker-style muskrat. Most of what I have found on Hoppe are metal-handled advertising knives and the impression that it was a lesser-known Solingen cutler from shortly after the war. This knife features nice, sturdy jigged bone handles and a curtly-clipped master blade. I can't quite tell if that was an aftermarket mod from a typical master spear blade. The "clip" is perfectly straight and the blade takes up nearly all of the available space in the well, so...
