All About Pocket Knives

Today I slipped my ten dot Texasjack in the Levi's.

Not my favorite, but I have a Boker Trance in my pocket right now. I always keep my Buck 501 in my coat pocket.

rotated this Utica into the belt sheath today.....

Same Colonial equal end jack as yesterday but for today I swapped the buck 110 for my Northfield 23.

Thanks Wade! I still really like that Stockman you posted. Very old school which I like.

Nice Jack GD! Can't go wrong with that as a carry.

Nice scout Scott!

Real nice carries Ken!

So the 24 knife EDC leather folder is all filled up with this newly pulled from the collection knife. I saved the best for last. I don't mean to ramble but this knife is real special to me. I had some knives when I was younger, can't remember what exactly. I am sure CASE though as that is what we used exclusively in my family.
I do remember this old/new EDC though. Interestingly, in the many knives I have, it is the only CASE Scout 45 pattern I own.
My Dad took me to a flea market in Friendship, Indiana 40 years ago while on a family trip when I was 9 years old. He bought this brand new 1974’ CASE 6445R Scout for me as a gift for $14. He kept meticulous records as to the knives and guns he owned, prices paid, etc, thru out his life and I mean every one he owned with no exceptions. As a 9 year old, I was obviously pretty damn excited and proud to have the knife. I carried it for a few months or so. I thought it was long lost as my Dad never mentioned it. He passed away 2 years ago and I found it. Same knife marked in his records as "CASE Scout- Bone Friendship, Indiana- 1974’". He probably took it away from me if I had done something stupid but more likely to make sure someday, when older and more responsible than a 9 year old, I still had it. I am grateful he did.

Although I carried this knife before briefly years ago, this is the first time it has been carried by me (or anyone) in 40 years. Slipped it into my pocket this morning. Certainly an old friend with great memories attached. The knife is still near mint with a few specks. Also have the 10 dot 6233 I got from a valued friend.

Awesome story Jaerry! Man, I would carry that knife every day my friend. Very cool!

I'm in an airport and can't get too articulate, but I'm likin' everything I see from my last post down. Dang, what a lineup.

^^ I really like that Case scout knife!

Thank much Gino and CAM! Trying 3 carries for the first time today as I want to carry the Scout for awhile.

Love those choices, Jerry. Way too pretty, though...

Excellent as always Jerry. Life's too short to pack an ugly knife!

Case slimline trapper and a chicom Rough Rider halfwhit today.

I wish I'd been smart enough to buy one of these knives back in the days before twist off caps became commonplace. I can think of several occasions when it would have come in handy.

Boning up for Marine electric print class some different that industrial weekend Schrade carries

Aww that ain't ugly. It just has some pretty patina.

Same here

Still a nice pair Gino!

I collect only CASE and normally EDC the same. I do however have a few Bucks I carry on occasion.

Both of these were gifts from members and more importantly, good friends.
