All About Pocket Knives

I forget which fountain you throw a coin into.

All of them and only thing I’ve got after throwing it in…is to have less money after the throw

Thanks, QS.


Excellent pictures, Jamie! Looks like a fun time! Did you manage to stash a pocket knife to take with you around Italy?

I didn’t but in Switzerland I did have a SAK as everyone else in the country….if you were on a train with a loose thread on your shirt 52 people would ask to use their scissors on their knife to cut it off. We go to Paris next and they are funny about caring there too.

Nicr carries, everyone! And Jamie seems to be having a good time in Europe.

I decided a beautiful knife was needed on what promises to be an ugly day. So I went with the toasted gray bone 6207 I purchased from QTCut5 last year. It will probably see nothing more strenuous than the ol' CE and CF, but a Victorinox Bantam is on hand for any "heavy work."

I should know this, but what pattern is the slender Stockman? It reminds me a lot of a 61OT.

Dan, the slender stockman is the 825 and the smaller one the 855 model. Here are pictures of the 61OT to compare, which I believe you to be correct, the look about the same size and configuration. (Of course, please remember I am not an expert on Stockman patterns, Schrades, nor much else... except for losing money in the Stock Market That I have a real talent for. )

Schrades on the brain today ... and in the pocket

English Whittler and a Lambsfoot

Thanks. I was just thinking that about your 61 OT. Looooooooooooooove the slender frame and those three blades, and of course Schrade steel. Nice one.

Thanks! There is always a power struggle for "pocket-time" between the Schrades and the Camillus "Short-Line" stockman #72

Trevi fountain? I hope you threw a coin in the fountain and NOT a GEC or Case XX (or any other pocket knife). I know them there foreign customs can be 'purdy darn confusing in them there 'Ol foreign type countries with of bunch of them 'Ol foreigner types running around everywhere. I know you is supposed to throw something in the fountain. I is 'purdy sure it is coin. And 100% sure is NOT a pocket knife.

Yes if you throw a coin in it’s supposed to mean you will return to Rome… but I was tempted to throw in a few vendors that bugged the sh#$ out of me, and you say anything to them they say “oh aggressive American” . But after you say something to just one of them, they all stay away. And that’s What I wanted in the first place.

Great knives from everyone!

Today I have these two in my pockets. Benchmade Sequel and Wards.

Cool carries, Dan, GSP, Ivory, David and Jtx.


Going with a Cargill Canoe, kind of a Throwback Thursday knife I guess. I love the tobacco leaf shield on these, awesome stag too. I also love that Wards Dogleg.


Party on, Jamie, and watch out for pickpocketing kids.

Another fine Canoe.

Thank you, Sir.

Cool photo, dog!
