Great EDC combo, Bighomer!

Thanks for the kind words buddy, now and then you might catch me out without a flipper or auto, but not often, then again I feel naked without a slipjoint

I appreciate your comments Oscar and TMK.

Nice knives and pictures everyone.

Here's an elegant Wharncliffe by Miller Bros. 3 9/16" closed.

Packing this knife today.

Quick, Gdogg, Rrider, TMK, Oscar, BHomer, FRJ, enjoyed scrolling through every one of those. Great page all, sweet stuff to see. FRJ, that Millers Bro is a dandy. Excellent bone and jigging and the wharn.

Stuck on the same Schrade for days. Different GEC to ride with it though.

Wait no more! An Opinel No. 6 in olivewood, a WWII Camillus electrician's knife, and a Victorinox Pioneer.

Thanks, Kim! I will use archival photos to help with the explanations.

With Opinels, the higher the number, the bigger the knife. In the photo below are, top to bottom, a No. 2, a No. 3, a No. 4, and three No. 6s. The No. 3 is standard beechwood, and of course two of the No. 6s are olivewood. The other three are hornbeam that has been color tinted.
An electrician's knife will typically have a spear point blade. They also have a screwdriver with an edge designed for scraping insulation off wire. There will be a liner lock, usually for the screwdriver. Many of them have a shackle, and they tend to be bareheaded. Newer ones can often be found inexpensively. They are solidly built, and they make excellent carriers.
And the Victorinox Pioneer is, of course, a Swiss Army knife. It has ribbed aluminum (Alox) scales instead of the more recognizable plastic. Its tools are a blade, bottle opener, can opener, and awl.
