All weekend I've been using a Cold Steel Recon1 Tanto 4", SAK Trekker, and I always have a SAK Classic on my keys.
What pocket knife do you carry?

oops! - I thought I removed the bottom two pics (a bracelet I made for my daughter)
Love the Recon! The only reason the AK-47 model is ahead of it is the wave action deployment.
The AK-47 is one of the few Cold Steel knives I've never owned but I'm sure I'll get one someday.
I really do wish they used the plate on more models.
Usually I stick to 3.5-4" blades but I still love the 5" XL models, my Rawles Voyager is a wicked knife.
My most common pocket knife is one of my Greenaways:
I carry a Gerber Crucial in my pocket. It has a variety of tools and is small enough to not be in the way in my pocket.
Been carrying one for the past 2 years.

I have a little 3" SOG that stays in my pocket. It mainly gets used on Copenhagen and loose threads.
For the time being ...

Ah, good to see you here! They both took off at a similar time, the straight razors might have had a slight edge (no pun intended) before I moved on to DEs and this place.
Ive always liked knives and tools but it wasn't until I started using this forum that I became really interested. I now have a bit of a beard though...
Which way round was it for you?
Good to hear, its funny how people around here have simular interests which spread once joining a forum. I tried a straight but it was bad quality and have never invested in anything better, I mainly use SE razors these days.
For myself, my wife bought me a shaving brush in 2012 and it spread from there. I got a DE razor, then some more amongst other stuff.
As for pen knives, thats fairly recently. As a kid I had a few swiss army knives, eventually they disapeared. I always wanted another knife, then last Christmas the wife bought me a couple.

The local outdoor shop and a knife sale, and I picked up this Kershaw JR Tactical. I was disappointed with the edge on it so spent a couple minutes putting a new edge on with the Worksharp Ken Onion. I've never bothered to trying to get a mirror edge before, but that wasn't nearly as difficult as trying to take the picture.
Spyderco Spin Etched I believe.. Very nice!

very nice indeed! Tiny eh. I really like the look of Wharncliffe blades. Theres a place called Wharncliffe near where I grew up in Sheffield, wonder if theres a connection. Anyways, just thinking.
Almost certainly, since Sheffield is the cutlery centre of the UK.
Boker Strike auto. Cheap enough to replace if I trash it, good enough to do what I need it to do.
I have quite a few knives in different sizes and for different purposes. Lately, I have been carrying a Swiss army knife because the extra tools are handy should I need to work on a camera.
Would much rather carry something from Laguiole.

I'm from Sheffield too Chris, my dad lives in deepcar, just a 5 minute drive from Wharncliffe! Never made the connection between the blade shape and the place.
I too have the etched spin but its a bit small and I'm almost certain i got landed with a fake.
true dat!
Fellow South Yorkshireman!
I youtubed the kife as I'd never heard of it and some kid was saying that it was a fake also, I wonder if a bunch of fake ones were floating about, seems odd though.
