Pocket Knives

[noharleyyet]

Any every day carry folks here? Although, they make excellent gifts, here's a few I've managed to keep over the last few years.

I've given lots of pocketknives to TSA over the years, since they are such a habit I forget to take them out of my pocket. I have one Swedish pocketknife my grandpa gave me when I was about 10. I lost it gopher hunting, but then found it when I was about 13. Cleaned up pretty good but it stays on my desk, not my pocket. I'm not losing that one again.

And sharper then any razor blade.

I've managed to hang on to this one for several years.

Well, if I have pants on, I have a knife in my pocket and 99% of the time I have my Leatherman with me, I actually feel near naked without it.

Most of my years growing up my dad was manager of Queen Cutlery. I was gifted many knives during those years and I'm certain I still have every single one of them. That probably speaks to how often I actually carry one on a day to day basis.

If I had a dollar for every knife I lost. My feed wagon has a magnet on it so I don't lose so many now Guy that works at the elevators is always giving me my knife back because he finds it on their magnet.

It's a very rare day that I don't have one on me. I usually buy them in multiples because I'm always breaking them or losing them.

I've carried a few different ones, but now just carry this Buck trapper. My dad had a black handled one for years, but lost it. This one replaced it and it was the last thing he personally gave to me before he died. I hope to heck I never lose it.

1 pointer, I have one very similar . I thought I lost it and been searching the past week. My son called me and said he found my pocket knife.....in his paints. He was using it when we were handing stand 2 weeks ago. I'm so glad to have it back.

I have a Benchmade auto opener with me in uniform always. CO has a law specifically allowing us to carry autos. When not in uniform I have a couple of Gerbers that are very useful. One that doesn't get used is the Spyderco which has the unit crest engraved on it that I got for my final reenlistment.

I always carry a pocket knife and it always has to have serrations.

 

[Comcam77]

I carry one everyday. I feel naked with out my knife!

I was really happy to get this back. I thought it was gone for good.

I can't look at a Trapper without hearing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17UFAwnKMUU

Daily carry pocket knife is a 3-blade custom that Dad bought for me a few years before he passed. Have always carried an old timer (grandpa & dad both carried them) or a swiss army knife.

Yours has been sharpened a bit more than mine, but nearly identical otherwise.

This thread has reminded me how many folks I meet in my daily lives that don't carry a pocket knife. I can't remember all the times I've had to let someone borrow mine. I've fixed eyeglasses, opened boxes, etc for folks because they didn't have one. I just love the folks hacking away at packing tape or nylon packing straps with their keys because they don't have a knife on them.

More than once I've beat feet (or shuttle) back to parking to stash one.
