All About Pocket Knives

Seems we have something in common other than a love of Arizona! Knives are most definitely a form of art! When I look at an old Cattaraugus or Ariel I see craftsmanship and beauty that stands the test of time. Some of the present day knife smiths are creating works of art to be admired for generations to come, like that rosewood LLoyd of Dougs. I'm fortunate that my youngest son has an eye for knives as well.

Well i got a new one in the pocket! Its an EDC in that I haven't put it down since I got it in the mail about two weeks ago, but so far all I've used it for is a pocket mirror. Anybody else have that problem? You get a knife thats so nice you don't want to use it, but you can't stand not to have it on you.

Yep! I'm experiencing that same feeling right now with my new Tidioute trapper. I had some boxes to open at work yesterday and reached for it.............stopped myself.........and reached in the front pocket for my SAK! I'm going to have to break the ice at some point.

It's like getting a new truck just walk up to her open your knife scratch the paint with yer knife put knife back in sheath then procede off road

Yep Mike, almost every knife I find! Hey, that's a nice Ben Hogan too. Johnnie, I wish I knew what I meant, I just thought it sounded funny.

I too have that problem sometimes Mike, LOL but as I get older I learned to use it if you dig it! You cant take them with ya

Can't impart the character and uniqueness of beausage (beauty that only comes from usage) until you scar them in some way.

I've become a 2 knife person this year. I prefer big lockers but folks around me often don't. My Old Timer 5OT has taken up more or less permanent residence in my PDA/eye glass holster while big locker of choice is in my RFP. Today, it's my newly buffed up and shiny 112.

The 5OT, which is nowhere near pristine and the more lovely for it.

I can't seem to get this Wadsworth pen knife out of my pocket. The Case peanut is getting jealous, although he did get some totin' time a day or so ago.

Nice pinnah! Hard to beat the solid OTs.
I see you're still hangin with the Wadsworth Doug. I'm still hangin with either the Wire Jack Geo Schrade or this Schrade Cut co/ Ulster Dale sold me. A real worker fer sher!

Yes Sir....I couldn't agree more!!

Johnnie, I wish I knew what I meant, I just thought it sounded funny

Perry....I think I just have a dirty mind.. ....

Sure wish my cheap camera would work...Maybe not buy so many knives???...Naw..My every day carry is a 6292 redbone..like gino's first pic..or a 62032..reddish bone ...maybe Fathers day I can talk the kids into a nice camera..and maybe a few more knives

Great idea Allen, more knives especially.

Good thing he didn't mention Ruben then, isn't it?

Singin, that ulster is so purddy it hurts the eye to look at it!

I have too much stuff in the bottom of my pockets (lighters, cutters, SAK) to drop another knife down there just to carry it. I always have one clipped on my pocket, some sort of assisted open or one hand opening knife, but still want to carry other knives.

I devised a way to carry my re-handled Imperial Easy Open knife with a paracord/lanyard.

So this is what's in my belt sheath today!

Beautiful rehandle job, Scott!! I like it!! I've done pretty much the same thing. I have an SAK in the LF pockek, My lighter and change in the RF pocket, an assisted open clipped on the RF pocket, my Gerber Multitool on my belt right side, and my new Tidioute in a crossdraw horizontal sheath on my belt left side. Oh yeah! And my Leatherman Micra in the watch pocket. The guys at work jokingly call me McGiver because I always seem to have a tool on me that gets the job done!!

Ohhhhhh, no sheet.....I forgot about the watch pocket

Knice carry ........Charlie..........uhhhhhhh, McGiver!

Today I have my ebony Tidioute White Owl.

Doug, you've done it to me again!! A Tidioute White Owl is at the top of my next acquisition list! The large trapper I bought is an excellant knife and I love it but it's a belt carry. Now I want one that's more pocket friendly too! I love that ebony too!!

Hey Charlie, thanks man! I'm carryin the Soddy Jr today that JoeDirt built me although I haven't loaded the pic yet.
Doug, that Tidioute is very nice! I sure like the setup on that Imperial EO with the lanyard. You know it's funny,
here in Nashville, we use those old Crown Royal bags to cover mics when not being used.

Thanks.

Charlie I had this White Owl for sale on another board but no one bit. So, if you don't mind a spear blade, let me know when you're ready and I may be willing to part with it.

NO CHIT!!...

Scott ,cool knife and lanyard.

Awesome pic, Doug.
