All About Pocket Knives

I have a Randall Made Model 7 on my belt at this time and most of the time. Do carry a pocket knife at times, either a case trapper, or a C Platt & Sons' stockmans'.

this old feller taday.......

That "old feller" is keepin' some pretty sweet company! ...

The last few days it's been these two …

Today's Barlow.

I gotta saddle up and go town for at least one delivery....

I think I will pocket this. The mod is rather hokey. But the remainder of the main blade is whisper sharp.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.TodaysEDCfeatures the family Gerber carving knife while I prep the turkey.the other knives are there for usefullness.

I don't have any pockets this morning.

But I have little bit to say. I was liking a Case Medium Jack, and loving a Case Swayback Jack. But those just won't do!

If the modded blade on this was on the other side I'd never get it open!

To me, a Jack SHOULD have the little blade in front of the main. To do otherwise shows contempt!

THAT is why I Jones for a GEC 76, and my grail is GEC 15 Two Blade Boys with Ebony. Not to mention the Boys will age and look like a knife from the beginning of the century!

That's a beauty Dave!!

I loaded this Case TrapperLock onto my pocket last night....and am still carrying her today!

TripleF: Just read your review of the Utica Adirondack Barlow. Spot on. The width makes it a pleasure to use. I might have docked a bit more for the blade wobble which is regrettable. Given the well figured cocobolo wood this knife could have been sensational without the fit problem tho this doesn't affect its' useability. Thanks for the fine review.

The other day I looked at this old Imperial and asked myself where I could put it where its celluloid scales wouldn't outgas and damage my other knives... Aha! My pocket! Once in my pocket it has stayed because it has a nice slim, flat shape.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed!

Here are the knives riding in my pocket today, from the top down………….


1 - Schrade 108OT – I found this in my parts knives with a broken clip blade. I reprofiled the clip into a Wharncliffe (looks a little rough in the scan, I need to pretty it up a bit) then sharpened it. This bad little boy is SCARY SHARP!
2 - Western 6504 – same blade configuration as the Camillus #72, AWESOME steel!
3 - Camillus Sword Brand single clip blade, nice and slim.
4 - Benchmade liner lock, ATS-34 steel, a cutting machine!

Knice assortment Dale!

Not sure about anything but the Imperial Scout will be in left front....

My Opinel #10 is wonderful in the wood but just a bit too big for EDC use. My #8 is better but just a tick too small for my big hands.

My daughter got me a #9 for Christmas. I rounded down the butt end of the handle a bit and refinished the wood. I'm digging the extra belly in the blade. My new EDC pairing:

Back to this, but the blade and awl have spent time in a tater and don't look this shiny anymore:

I have this GEC 76 Outlaw with me again

LOVE IT GINO

I have my heart set on Ebony!

THAT said I would NOT cry or kick a Chestnut Bone 76 out of my pocket..... That is KNICE!

I'm going Croca-gator hunting today......so I'm pack'n these two.... .................

With those 2, JR, you'll be the victor for sho!

Yep....I'm pretty much satisfied with my choice of weaponry.

Johnnie, with that set up you'll have the deer afeared too!
Do I detect stag?

Yep..its stag.

I'm not big on synthetic scales,made an exeption for this yellow eye.
