I grew up carrying Schrade knives. The blades were not stainless but they were fairly rust resistant and easier to put a razor edge on. I have lost all of them except one of the big Uncle Henrys with a single locking blade. It is very heavy. Now I carry a small tiny blade Case or, when fishing, a Gerber - I have two. The bigger Gerber had a paramilitary look with an open aluminum frame handle, clip and is lightweigt.
