All About Pocket Knives

Gino,

I carry all 3 of mine all the time .... it just became a habit a few years back .... but each knife has specific duties.

thanks dean and like I been saying I think I might start doin that too

I almost always have three knives on me, a peanut or similar size in the pocket for social settings around people, a larger lockback or big jack knife in a belt pouch for thing like big cardboard, heavy cutting chores, and a pocket clip "tactical type" knife as a BUG should I empty all three handguns and their 2 reloads each. The small knife gets the most use normally as it gets used in front of non-knife folks.

I carry both at once. my GEC is used for refined cutting tasks where an extremely sharp edge is needed, and it does a fine job of trimming my nails as well

The strider is a brute. He breaks down boxes, pry's open stubborn equipment, strips wire, cuts cables, and the most difficult task of all, opens thick plastic clamshell packing

I really should have bought a SnG instead of a PT for what I do, but I just couldn't really justify something larger if I had to.

thanks adam for your input

I think its cool to see what everyone carries or as my southern brothers say TOTE

Those are real nice

I just carry one knife at a time, unless you count the little Swiss-Tech Utili-key I keep on my key chain - then that would make two, I guess.

I don't carry a gun - but I have thinking about getting my permit. The gun range here charges about $100 and it's a 8 hr class. If I do get a permit, I will carry one of these guys....well, maybe not that little Raven .25 - can't hit the broad side of a barn with that thing.....or the Colt Thunderer .41 - it's too old.

Unk

yeah the old small guns like that 25 were called "belly guns" in the old days because the only way you could shoot somebody if you had to was to put it to their belly.

today the small guns like my 32 K.T. is very acurate


cool guns tho thanks for postin them

I've carried this stag Hubertus every day since last fall in my left pocket. I also carry a Kershaw Leek clipped on my right pocket but I haven't taked any pics of it.

James

sweet knife james - looks like that pic was before you started carryin it?

Sweet James!

I could get locked up here for that one. I wonder if I could list it on my concealed carry permit.

I'm going to ask the sheriff!

Thanks guys.

Gino, yes I took the pic of the Hubertus before I carried it.

I guess I need to snap a pic of the Kershaw too. I always said I would never carry a tactical pocket knife but I really like it. The speed assist works really well too.

Here's my current EDC rotation...................











Nah not really, but I have been looking for an opportunity to have a little fun with that picture.

I don't know how everyone else is, but at times there are several of my EDC's that are missing in action! I can think of 4 or 5 right now!

For the most part I carry a 2000 case toothpick in Red bone or stand-by's, a GEC Granite Jack Knife which is now missing....I bought two more and am carrying one as back up. Sometimes one of several swisss army knives (don't collect- just use) or a Kershaw lockblade from my dad.

WOW philco, I think thats a sweet collection!

I love seein stuff like that -in my head it justifies me spending all this money on my knives

AWESOME collection!!!

Hey philco,

Bet you gotta have REALLY big pockets to carry all of those around, LOL...... I can just visualize a farmer with bib overalls .....
Grandpa wore bib overalls everyday .... he carried a Barlow but always had a tackle box full of knives for all of the grandkids to pick and choose. It was like being in a candy store and not knowing what to pick.

Can't seem to put this GEC Primitive Bone Wharncliffe Melon Tester/Whittler away after carrying it for a couple of weeks.

:NICE BANK ROLE PHILCO

I carry a Lone Wolf Lobo. It is slim with a pocket clip that keeps it perfectly out of the way. I also have a Buck Smidgen on my keys for the everyday razor work.

Last week for my work EDC, I was carrying my Beast of a folder, the Emerson CQC13. Although it's a large folder, the handle fits in the hand very nicely!

My EDC's would be a USA Schrade 8OT pattern stockman or a Camillus 72 pattern stockman (whittler?) in the right front pocket, and a Camillus riggers knife or a USA Schrade 7OT with a carbon steel blade on my belt. I don't know if anyone else does this but I carry a cheap Imperial shell handled 2 bladed jack about 3 1/2 inches long in my left front pocket. That cheap Imperial knife is for the times that someone says "let me borrow your knife a second" and you just know they are going to do something stupid with it like use it as a screw driver or a pry bar. You know this because they don't have a knife of their own to carry due to the stupid reasons I mentioned, and that's why they asked to borrow yours.

Aimus

thats smart thinking - you just gave me an idea

As for EDC, If it's a work day I feel naked without my Leatherman Wave on my belt.Front pocket has SOG Twitch II. Official meetings day or night would be an unobtrusive
Lone Wolf Paul or a small muskrat or OldTimer 120T.Steppin out on the town, somethin' pearly
or abalone. Sorry, no pic's yet. Kayaker
