It was like that when I got it.

some knives are mean't to be hard on and some are mean't to look at

started carryin a buck 110 finger grooved hunter on my belt

Hard to pick a favorite EDC, for I have quite a few users that I rotate...
Today I have an old McCoy (Mt. Ida, Arkansas) stockman in my right front pocket.
Nothing fancy, but an old trusty EDC that has seen a lot of use over the years.

between the camillus stockman and western trapper

i EDC a couple @ a time i guess
rotated in right rear pocket w/ pocket clip= benchmade mini pika,benchmade auto les paul,or gerber 06 fast auto.......or the like.

rotated in front left pocket: (for now changes weekly lol)
new york knife co. E/O jack match strike pull...i got from owl wullie!!
electric cut. co jack,matchstrike
and a old camillus equal end stockman w/ punch
all these are well used old knives w/ some decent blade wear,but snap pretty tight!

dang.... and a lil classic swiss army on the p/u key chain......
thats what i'm carryin' right now....
as for my favorite....... can't choose...............

Thats a nice looking Humpback Whittler there Gino

hey thanks james
I was gonna get back to you
I dig it.
I keep lookin and I will be back soon as somethin catches my eye

Been carrying this Eye I got from Paladin a few weeks back. Had to test it and cut a bunch of cardboard and rope...few strokes on the steel...and great little carry

My EDC is a Victorinox pioneer in black alox. Nothing fancy, but comes in handy. I also bought both my sons-in-law the same knife, which I believe they also carry.

I don't have a pic but i am sure you have seen a Byrd cara cara. I like a big folder that you can scrap paint with, use as a screw driver. cut aluminum, and is thin enough to hardly no it is in your pocket. It is big enough that someone can see it in your hand and know you mean busines, if needed. i have carried it for about two years now and haven't even tightened a screw. I just can't take an expensive knife and use it as a tool. i do have a couple of dress up knives, but i am scared i might scratch one. i believe one of the prior posts is true, it depends on what day it is, work or play. Great pics.

My Buck 301! ftd

ahh,when bucks were bucks

Today its a Fallkniven TK4 in my jeans, but there's a Northwoods #11 in my coat pocket.

Just got the tastiest Fontenille Pataud St. Martin in the post this morning though :):):) All ebony and groovy

show some pics ???

I just picked up this Kershaw

I really like it and I ma going to start to carry this as my second knife with my others

For the first 50 years of my knife carrying life, pocket knives were just tools. I never bought any that were not users and never considered collecting, accumulating or even owning more than one pocket knife at a time until about ten to thirteen years ago. If I lost my pocket knife (I don't recall ever breaking one), that's when I bought something new. In fact, none of the pocket knives were important enough to remember. (sheath knives were a different story)

For probably twenty years or more, I carried this little Schrade Old Timer 1080T. Bought it shortly after I got out of the Corps in the mid-'60s and am surprised I still have it.

I think memories of days gone by have a lot to do with why we collect. I put some away but I always buy one to use.
thanks for sharin jerry
