All About Pocket Knives

to AAPK johnp10!
That is a sweet ole knife, with great family history to boot. Nothin' better .

Me, i'm carrying the exact loadout as yesterday. Can't beat a mora and buck combo for sure .

Couple of sow bellies and a Barlow for the watch pocket.

These two today.

Little Gerber pocket knife. 2-3/4 in. closed. 4-3/8 in. opened. 1-7/8 in. blade and razor sharp and on my key chain.

Fusion 1911
XX 6380

I like that combo Casexx I'll be hunting the next two days with an Olsen and a Camillus with brass bolsters made for L.L.Bean

2 old case redbones today

A 1970 to 1972 Buck #110 with 440C & wood that my father had, but it's too big for me to carry in my pocket often, & a Buck #309 Companion with SS & Delrin which I got around 1974 & carried a good bit for several years:

Paul, those two carry me back to a time when people used knives and didn't just collect them. Very warm, sweet knives.

Gonna tote these fine old ladies to visit with my buds at Hooters.

Marbles Handy Hunter, 52100 and stag, along with a folder my friend, Bruce Barnett, made for me. A2 backspring with his Starburst mosaic damascus, Sheoak lace handles. Claude Scott sheath.

Couple Pennsylvania knives today. Queen Stockman and a Case Barlow.

Thanks Floyd.

Paul, you are surely the Sultan of Schrade and the Prince of Peachseed.

That's why they come with belt sheaths! That is my favorite era of 110.

Of course the King of Queens is not to be outdone. Love that bone Barlow.

I've been watching you tote that fine red Barlow recently. XX era? Never seen one with the pen blade on the pile side, very cool. I'm gonna have to take out the #1 for a spin.

For Old Friends Friday, the old EDC Voos and the new-look Maher & Grosh Texas Ranger, which I suspect will be a friend for a long long time.

Yes sir it is.

Couple nice old friends you have there today!

Put this shoulder on at 4 am, low and slow on hickory, should be done by 5 tonight. This Schrade has been on my hip all morning.
Enjoy your Saturday folks

That pic has my mouth watering, Kris. And the food is nice too.

As for me today, the 43 feels just right in hand and the 72 is the watch pocket do-it-all knife.

All your knives look so new and shiny, how do you keep them that way?

Thanks for the kind words, just pulling the shoulder off now.

Easy, most are high quality stainless steel, I use carbon in the kitchen, 52100 and W2, along with carbon damascus,see more in the kitchen knife thread. I usually simichrome lightly every once in a while. I really don't have much use for pocket knives, but I like carrying them. Most of my knives are used on meat, and all are hand sharpened on Shapton stones, no scratches.
