All About Pocket Knives

I have to admit, I am leaning that way too..... more fitting in this case, I think

Just finished a shutdown at BIW back to these EDCs :)Happy Memorial-day

Here's my EDC line up for chillin' & grillin' today. Set an extra place and leave an empty seat at your table today in memory of one who didn't come home! Let's never forget what this Holiday is really all about. At 15:00 hrs this afternoon please observe a moment of silence for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Have a great day with family and friends but don't forget those who made it possible.

Though I was on call today I never did get called.

Felt like a Red Bone sort of day so carrying the third one down in this pic...

This 61ot is a recent pickup/trade from Aimus Moses. She's a keeper for sure. Been in the RFP since I got her.
Full blades, Great snap on all three. Perfect size for edc IMO.

Thanks Aimus

Just back from 2 days backpacking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. For those who know the area, we climbed Mt. Madison via the Howker Ridge. It's one of the rougher, wilder parts of the northern Presidentials. Tough but gratifying. Spent the evening up just above treeline watching dusk settle in while thrushes and warblers talked back and forth to each other. The second day we able to drop our overnight packs and run to summit with light day packs. Just a light breeze and a few whispy clouds in the air. Really doesn't get any better than that in the Whites. This is the ridge we ascended with morning fog down in the valleys.

Carried this Buck 482, which I'm finding to be an ideal backpacking knife. Ounces add up to pounds, pounds affect your speed in the mountains and, as Chouinard said, "Speed is safety". I also carried my new Opinel #10 as a secondary knife. It's too big for comfortable pocket carry while on the move. The 482 is easy-breezy and up to any task I can think of for this kind of mountain travel. Also had a Leatherman Squirt in the 1st aid kit and my bud needed to use it for the scissor to fix up some moleskin for his heels. I hate multitools but the Squirt earns it's way into the kit.

Ya got some good wheather nice pics oh ya I like that Buck

Still with this one for now

I'm packin' these two today along with my Gerber multi-tool and a small SAK.

Been totin' this one for a couple days:

Nice choices Charlie and great looking patina on that Case Dave.
I still have the GEC EO with me.

Been carrying this single blade all week

Nice one Monk!

These two today though I'd change it up a bit ::undecided::Jerry this is the Kodak @ 2.1

Plenty good for what you use the pictures for dogg. Not like you're going to be printing out 20"x30" pictures.

In the pocket of my shorts is that Red Rough Rider I posted Monday.

Big Monk, gorgeous looking knife you have there! Love the color of that bone.

too hot today in Paris

Nice one Stan

thank Gino

this is my current edc, it's a FRIEDR. OLBERTZ stockman with ebony scales. in addition to the 3 blades it has a tweezer and tooth pick cleverly concealed in the bottom of the handle.

Nice one Doorman - not a maker I have seen before, but it looks very well made.

I am still carrying my eo GEC but I am waiting for the mail man to bring me a new S&M that I will put in my pocket as soon as it gets here.

I don't have a pocket, right now. when I do put on my pants I will be carrying my new Queen 77 mini trapper today.
