All About Pocket Knives

My usual.

The leek helped me do some spring yard work today. Vines, limbs, briars, you name it. I swear you just cant kill this thing, still functions like new and holds one heck of an edge. The#54 big jack is, well, perfect. I swear i'm gonna rotate my edc's...........eventually.

This week a new #3 on my 10 week cycle.. replacing the Rock Creek Knives Hanwei .Is a Therias & L 'Econome folder. I have replaced the horrible acrylic covers with ebony. Pictured here with a side of soda bread in honor of saint patricks day.

Hi Old Mate Dale, I like that ebony...Ken

I am back to my Outlaw but I am gonna still carry the Benchmade also.

Very nice Gino,I have picked up this CS Cannitler and cant lay it down.Now my pocket just don't feel right without it.

Pulled out the Buck 313 Muskrat this morning and dropped it in my pocket (back to one EDC). I like the Camillus/Buck design of the 313 - a lot of blade in a thin, low-profile package that carries quite nicely. The comparison shot shows how a 313 compares in height to a similar era 301. OH

Knifetime, that CS Canoe of yours has blades that nestle down nicely for a great carry feel too. Very nice! OH

Here's what I'll be carryon for a while, Hounds Tooth 55, thanks Barry!

Thanks OH and singin46 that is one sweet knife.

Thanks knifetime!

Ok, I'll get to today's carry, which won't shock anybody. Thought I'd share this first though...

Went ski touring in New Hampshire a short while ago. Old logging roads give great access.

The area we went to allowed fires. I took along this old war horse, an old Schrade H-15. I'm really digging this knife in the woods.

I think I mentioned that my son made me a sheath for it for Christmas. If I didn't here it is. If I did, here it is again. I dig the sheath more than the knife and my kid more than the sheath.

And no, the blade isn't as recurved as it looks in that shot. Blame the wear on the patina.

While I'm dallying and going astray from the daily carry focus of the thread, I'll mention another. Here's what happens when you take a Case 316-5, and mix it with some files, a stone and a couple of beers...

Case 316-5 (drop point) by Pinnah, on Flickr

I like the drop point better and its a lot thinner than it used to be. Went through tonight's squash pretty easy so I jest used it. But I'm not carrying it and that's what I'm getting to...

Today's carry, like most days.

BTW, I'm reminded just how friendly this place is. If you're reading this, take it as the compliment that it is meant to be.

Pinnah,love that Schrade and old tote road but my love for that twitch trail is for the Partridge it holds..Beautiful sheath

Gard, one of my fondest memories of ski touring happened skiing out from Sawyer Pond (middle of nowhere New Hampshire). I was third person in line. Grouse exploded out of the snow at the feet of the second skier. Grouse laid low for the first skier but musta gotten sick of it on the second. Fun to watch my buddy do the heebie-jeebie dance with skis and full pack on.

Dave it is quite a thrill when they explode out of the snow

Looks like a great day and you're very well armed too.

Well after many years of carrying an 8OT, I decided to set my current one aside and i've been carrying this one for the past couple of weeks. I converted this from a Camillus Cub Scout knife into a three blade equal end stockman and then added a pair of toasted elk stag grips. It's a tad shorter then an 8OT, but pretty much carries the same. Still feels a little strange when I pull it out of my pocket though.

WB I could have looked at that knife all day and never guessed it once was a Cub Scout knife and I've got a wool sack full of em. Very nicely done!

Well thank you, Phil!

WB

I'm like a broken record with my carry but did change my watch pocket knife to this Imperial Shell Pen

Hey an Imperial's always good to have around Dave! And WB, that Cub convert you re-handled looks amazIng!

Thanks Perry! It's working out to be a pretty decent EDC.

WB
