I see many posts from you guys stating that "these are what I'm carrying today", and they show 3 sometimes 4 knives. Would someone please explain to me WHY you would carry all that weight around with you all day, when 1 knife will accomplish all the same tasks as 4? Just wonder'in! Thanks!
As for me and my house's 2 cents, I can only tell you don't knock it till you try it. Might even see the logic in it. Everyone has an opinion on perfect pocket carries and every one of them differs. I used to carry one knife but found I like it better with a few different blades for different tasks. I can't find all the blades I want in one knife and I've tried. You can't spread peanut butter very well with a wharnie or thin clip. But they are the great box cutters. My big fat spreading spear blades are great for peanut butter, food prep, cutting veggies, Avocados, mayo, mustard etc, but won't box cut or get in tight spaces at all. Gotta have both. And I looked for years for a nice big spreading spear and a wide, long wharnie and a small blade, good stag or bone. Nobody makes them. One Queen I saw once with spear and wharn was put together poorly and didn't make the grade. I like a couple full sized blades and a small blade or two. If you want two or three full sized main blades of a certain profile, you will have to carry two or three knives because I don't know of any, or they are very hard to find, or they just aren't being made. Some of my buddies carry a big knife and a small, or a box cutter and food blade, or combo for whatever reason but it makes sense to them. One buddy just likes having several knives to choose from and play with. It all makes sense to the user. Your results may very. For what it's worth.

Thanks for that detailed explanation I-man! Please understand that I wasn't "knocking it", I just didn't see the necessity of more than 1 knife, but what you said makes perfect sense to me. I rarely go out, and when I do I don't carry a knife, I just don't have a need for one, and, would really hate to lose any that I own due to a random law enforcement encounter. Here in Canada just about ANY knife other than kitchen utensils are "open season" for the law, so with no need for one I'm better off leaving them at home. As a younger man I carried a knife everyday, and, lost plenty of them to such situations. The aspect of having them with you to play with is certainly valid, as are your other reasons, it just didn't click in my head until you explained it. As I said, I was just wonder'in, and your explanation was definitely worth it!

Don’t worry, I have a dumb answer. Although I usually post a picture of one or two knives, over the course of a day or two or three I may stick several more in my pockets. I do try to match the blade to the task & don’t have one or two patterns that can do everything but being practical is usually my second consideration. Unfortunately, I can rarely leave the house but fortunately I have a pile of knives to coon-finger & chicken-eye. I fill my pockets because I like pocket knives & because I can.

Thanks for your reply G.C.! What you and I-man said is sound logic, and certainly answered my question!

A Case #3299 1/2 with CV & ebony & an Ulster Swell Center Jack with carbon & ebony. Since Glennbad replaced the yellow composition handles with ebony on the Case, I think of it as a #7299 1/2. Sweet.

Nothing fancy but a favorite of mine. Camillus 89 (same size as a CASE 6375). I used it to cut the dried tops off the tater onions I planted today.

Went to a funeral today for a great hunting buddy and stock car driver who passed on the last day of firearm season though he got to here about my Grandsons first deer he was pleased.Carried my special event Ulster pearl for the day.

Nice, gard! How do you like that Kalashnikov?

It's ok not a favorite but good for around the yard.

Posted: **Sun Dec 06, 2020 12:46 am**

Condolences, gard.

That looks like a nice "Sunday go to meeting" knife.

What kind of onions are those, Colonel? From the bulb size, guessing Vidalia???
