What pocket knife do you carry?

This is a great thread for AD. I lost my Opinel when I moved. Got to get another (Eye twitch...must have more knives...).

Bought my son an Opinel #5 as his first knife. SWMBO said why do you need another knife? Erm like hello?!?

He he loves it. And so the AD begins anew.

Part of the ship, part if the crew!

Got a no name peanut pattern off Ebay for 5 bucks and with 30 minutes of work in my Arkansas Stones I got a nice sharp little knife.

I'd consider a #6 too, because it's locking.

CRKT Hug

FOr the last 16 years I've been carrying my trusty Benchmade...not sure of the model tho.

Exactly my reasoning. I thought it a bit more of conscious act unlocking the knife to use it.

Today a Kershaw speed safe folder in my back pocket and one of the last made in the USA Old Timers 34OT small stockman.

Emerson CQC-8 and a Case CV Trapper.

I have one of the USA OldTimer large stockmans. It was my grandfather's knife that he carried every day for 30 years as a cotton farmer and postal worker. The blades are all broken and reground, but man is that thing sharp!

Case Mini Copperlock with pocket worn Bermuda green handles. Stainless.

My daily is a Victorinox Swiss Army Cybertool (I'm an IT guy). The computer screwdriver set is fantastic, and it has a tool for almost everything! I also have a Leatherman Crunch nearby for heavy jobs.

Kershaw OD-1 flipper. Razor sharp, easy to sharpen, opens FAST and one handed, its purely mechanical no springs. Wish I had bought another while they were still sold! THIS is my EDC. On me at all times.

Leatherman ST300 when I wear jeans and a leather belt. That sucker weighs a bit, but the leather belt offsets the weight and keeps it comfortable to have. I'll wear it out hiking or camping in shorts, its just more noticeable.

Just got in 2 Mora 511s as well. One is in my BOB, the other is going to be my camping/whittling/hiking knife. I prefer fixed blades in the woods. 3.5oz...

I just picked up an ESEE Zancudo Framelock to add to my EDC rotation. not exactly what I was looking for, but should fill the roll well.

i hear there a izula folder coming now

Today I went with a CRK 25

Spyderco Military, Spyderco Tenacious, and/or Navy K615.

Cold Steel Recon Tanto combo blade

This week I've been carrying a Chinese-made Kershaw "Corral Creek" lockback with a sheepsfoot blade. Fit and finish is very nice for a Chinese lockback; the steel doesn't take that great an edge but plenty good enough for an office knife. I like it.

Buck! Made right here in Idaho! I have one of every model and use them
