All About Pocket Knives

Lot's of great looking knives being carried. I have been carrying this XX era 6231 1/2 the last couple of weeks.

I bought this one from a fellow forum member here in 2012. This is what it looks like after two years of EDC in my LF pocket.....

Today a 33OT with the TL-29.
The TL for work stuff and the Schrade Jack cause I love it.

You guys all have great knives! Makes me want one of everything

Hey Steve;why wasn't he liked?

On this the day I am officially 54 years old this is in pocket.

Happy Birthday Dave.

Happy birth day!

I'm still a packing this old loom fixer. I'm a liking it better every time I use it. I actually picked up an even nicer spare, but I still need two more. I've got three sets of sticky little fingers that keep eyeballing mine!

Happy Birthday Dave, this too shall pass!

Thanks fellers!

I done touched up the Boys Knife and the Kershaw 1700 little liner lock and they will do paper and shave me arm just peachy keen. And one more site check and I'll be asleep.
Someone at the company gave me a morning run earlier today.

Happy Birthday Dave!!

I picked up a cat knife a while back but have not put it to the test yet, how do you like them?

Very nice knives, Dave!

Still my 73

If you mean the K88K, I like them fine, have a couple. However, those, the Douk-Douk and the Squirrel many times have blades that are way off the centerline of the knife, as sighted down the back.

My K88K's suffer from this but not horribly, the Squirrel has a straight blade.

...but if they ain't straight it'll drive ya nuts looking at it.

Not sure what I have now that you bring up options.
All I remember for sure is it says carbon steel on the package. I'll dig it out for a trial run tonight.

dcgm4,
That K.R.Johnson trapper caught my eye !! Looked that one up, that ol' boy makes some fine lookin' knives. Just guessin' those knives probably cost a dollar-three-eighty . Out of my league but they sure look great! The site showed a barlow style with a customer's initials, I thought it was rather unique. Thanks for showing your great knife.

Thanks, treefarmer! That knife has become my regular EDC for over a year now. Mr. Johnson does some superb work. Normally his knives would be out of my range too, but I was lucky enough to get mine used from another collector, so that saved me quite a few pennies.

Today I carried the Chesnut jig RJ.

I had PLENTY of spare time yesterday.
I have mentioned I have been carrying the Kutmaster Scout.
I tried and tried to make it cleanly slice paper.
And I failed.
I need to just suck it up and get a Pioneer.....

Nice one Perry!

I especially like the RJ's with a spearpoint as yours, handsome rig
