All About Pocket Knives

I don't mind that. Sort of creates a consistent visual back beat to the discussion. I say, keep posting the same picture if it's the same knife!

My Opinel #8 has reclaimed it's spot in my RFP, displacing my Buck 500. Longer blade and lighter weight. Hard to argue with.

I too Dave was told the same thing when I posted this picture of one of my favorite EDC's

THAT Buck LOOKS like it doesn't have Sabre Grind! It might well be MY fave if true!

I have my Case CV Amber Bone Med Stockman in RFP
And Imperial USA Scout LFP

Also SAK classic hanging from belt loop.

Wanted something with multiple blades today,so I grabbed this Cuban Stockman !!!!!

Christmas is over so the EZ-Open Dale gifted to me went back in the safe before I lose it or drop it and break those beautiful bone handles. I'm back to my trusty old Camillus #33 EZ-Open. I thought about bringing my old Schrade 108 OT out of retirement but my fingers aren't so nimble anymore. It served me well for a lot of years and I'd hate to lose it, so I decided to let it rest.

Nice Cuban Monk! I see you have a Toyota. Sequoia by chance? Me too! Greatest SUV I've ever owned. Hey Joe, that Pal is has some very nice handles on it! I've been carryin this Schatt HJ today, rehandled in fat stag!

Holy Schatt Perry thats sweeeeet!

Man, you guys have some really nice looking knives.

Thanks for the nice comments, Dave and Perry.
Those handles look sooo much nicer when they're in your mit.

Here are the three that I currently carry L-R: Case XX USA 31SAB, Queen #10, Camillus 72 Scout (re-handled by Orvet)

What great looking knives those are, TJ.
How do you know which one to reach for?
I'd be fumblin'; which is why I generally carry one ol' slip joint.

EDIT: OOH, maybe you mean you carry one of those in rotation?

The Case 31 is for extra heavy duty chores. I've used the pen blade to remove phillips head screws with no affect to the blade at all, I am careful though. The Queen is also heavy duty but not extra heavy duty and the Cammie, it's my braggin' knife. Thanks Dale.

Very nice line up Tom!

Fine bunch Tom, I like that Camillus the most too!

Thanks fellers, I like those three a lot.

Changed to shorts because it is warm in here.

One knife only. This one:

This is my fav right now. Got 'er tied to a paracord with the end dangling outside of my pocket for easy access..

Scott, Murph and Dave, some beauty knives!

I'm enjoying the #70s series from GEC today.
FRP #71 Bull Nose Work knife.

And I'm always packin' the #72 Lockback in my BRP.

FLP #73 Scout knife.

Caleb;that natural pantina on your 71 is coming along nicely

Great to see some other folks besides me actually using those GEC's they buy. I know you use yours Caleb. That SB looks sweet!
I know a few of us others do use them too.

I use all my GECs, it's the best way to connect with them. They really are more than just a pretty face, these knives work all day long and they don't complain.

I love that you use your GECs Gino, especially that #73. I think putting a knife in your pocket is the best way to get to know a company.

GD56, you have got to get in on the GEC action!!!

When I get back to work right now I have to get my twins thru college
