All About Pocket Knives

Thinning out the blade of my Buck Ecolite 112/442 worked so well, I screwed up the courage to flatten out the grind of my Buck 500. Roughly from my junky calipers, the blade now tapers down from 2mm to 1mm at the tip and is about 1.3mm through the main part of the blade. My Opinel #9, which slices like nobody's business, is about 1mm. The 500 now slices almost as well as the Opinel. Huge improvement. Extra bonus, the grinding has produced a nice curve to the flat portion and it makes blade look better than original in my eyes. Here's the original. Will get around to taking new pictures at some point.

Back to the same ole same ole for the right pocket the CRKT, and for a change-up on the left side I have got the 1960s Queen out for today.Keep knife'n

Carrying the r Mechanic's Special in the bottom left.

Here's my current EDCs for work, on the farm and around town. The Case Tested Office Knife Muskrat Man rehandled for me goes to work everyday in a black velvet Frost Family pouch. The titanium coated United Tailwind and the Marbles Workman's knives, with paracord lanyards my sister made, get a good workout on the farm. The Benchmade 830 in ATS-34 is my around town knife and man does it hold an edge.

Still hangin with this Queen 41L liner lock

Carried this old Camillus "pawn-shop find" yesterday - it has some great steel and great snap to be so old - going to carry it again today. OH

Bottling day... Cutting boxes, straps, shrink wraps, tape, lunch etc.

Sweet EDCs, Ausegbombt. How old do you think that Tidioute is?

TOTED THIS LIL #66 GEC STOCKMAN TODAY

Back to my GEC 76OUTlAW

over that 76 Gino!

Got out of my work duds into shorts and picked my Case Humpback to go in my pocket:

Today it was the queen of cutlery! Case XX 6375.

Tomorrow I'm having trouble deciding, Western 742 or Schrade Walden 895. Both came in a trade with Junebug, and both two of my all time favorites. Maybe I'll just pack em both!

Thanks Rider! That is the Tidioute Boy's Knife... got that right around Christmas. It was building up a really nice natural patina till I dribbled acid on the blade by accident the other day. Couldn't stand the jet black on the natural patina so I forced the rest of it black with acid.

Like the way you guys roll!

I've been reviewing this Camillus VG10 for the past few weeks, so it's been clamped onto the lip of my pocket.


Then, I'll be toting the Tidioute EO Sunfish today so I can display it to my cigar smoking pal!

Scott, very nice Sunfish, is it a current model? I normally don't care for knives that are so wide, but your Tidioute Sunfish looks well proportioned. OH
