All About Pocket Knives

My default shorts pocket knife... a Leek. I THINK it has Sandvick 12c27 steel.
But have no way to tell for sure.

If it's no more than a couple of years old it has 14C 28N steel

Reviewing this CASE XX Sodbuster so it's attached at the hip (literally in a sheath on my belt)!!

Love a Sodbuster. So practical, dependable and simple.
Work day so trying out a Kershaw Cryo. It's small enough to be discrete.
It's new to me and I really like it. Built like a tank.
Plus my good ole 34OT coming along.

Ken...that Wayne looks sweet. I have a few Japanese Wayne myself but cannot find any info on them. Do you (or anyone else here) know anything about them? Goins has a few references to Wayne (circa 1920-1940) but I'm not sure if the reference is correct. cheers

This Wayne is the only one I've ever seen but, it has become one of my favorites.
I did try a google search a few days ago which only produced some nasty sexual references.
I'd like to see pictures of your Waynes.

Can't get passed this for my OHO and therefore most used knife.

Dave -- Sounds like you've found a personal winner. Might as well give in. Looks like you're done for.

Here's a pic of the two, but I'll start a thread in General Discussion with more pictures, and to see if anyone else has any to show. Mine have been well used, but they sure are nice lookin'.

For a few more days it will be the Thermite as my OHO most used knife.

Today like many days I am carrying my Al Mar.

Today I had this Rough Rider Barlow with me.

Oddly, while I love traditional swellend type jack knives, I don't really care for Barlows.
I do like the looks of that RR though.

Ain't that something. I have the identical twin of that Rough Rider barlow.
However it rarely ever gets carried.
Dynamite can't take the Humpback Whittler out of my pocket.

Don't be messin' 'round with dynamite Dave. You'll put your eye out.

Case Humpback Whittler 4-26-14.jpg

That's a nice Whittler!
Thanks ken98k. I have a couple more RR Barlows too jpd.
One smooth brown and one gunstock type. I found them pretty well made and they're way under $10 delivered. Hard to beat.
