pocket knives

[wefish]

I carry a Case and have for all of my life almost, since about 5 or 6 years old. Went to the Court House some time ago and when went through security they made me put my knife under a bush on the outside. While I was in the Register of Deeds office being sworn in as a Notary Public some sucker stole my Case from under the bush. It felt like I was undressed until could get to a store to buy a new one. If you want Justice stay out of the courthouse.

In my pocket I've always carried a swiss army-type knife since back in my cub scout days, still do. My favorite knife is my Ka-Bar lock-blade folding hunting knife (late 70's, early 80's vintage - wood handles, brass bolsters, looks similar to the classic Buck folding hunter). Have always carried it with me hunting and carried it every day while I was in the Navy. The blade is 3 3/4", so I used to be able to carry it on airlines - back when blades could be carried provided they were less than 4".

Nowadays, my everyday pocket knife is still a swiss army-type knife (the $10 variety) and I carry a Craftsman multitool on my belt. The Ka-Bar only comes out during hunting season.

This is the one I currently carry. I decided on this one because it sharpens easily, holds an edge real good and, and doesn't cost so much that I would cry if I lost it.

I was 9 yr's old when I walked the mile in a half up to the local hardware store to buy my first Case poket knife. I saved the money from collecting soda bottels and mowin lawns. The store clerk wouldn't sell it to me on the count of me being a minor so I asked him to call my mom on the phone which he did and my mom said it would be ok with her. I am in my early 40's now and from that day on I have always carried that knife or another Case knife.

Are there really guys out there that don't carry a pocket knife? I cut my first teeth on a pocket knife. Great pacifier! Uncle Henry to be exact. Worked on a dairy farm where Barlows came free with meds for the cows. Had a 'Blackout' by Ken Onion. Love that 'assisted opening'! Currently purchasing kershaw's Whirlwind by Onion. Camo design. I have a 'M-Tech' I bought for $10. Cheap knife but blade is easy to sharpen and holds a razor edge. Knives are like anything else, $1.00 up to who knows. I really respect the custom makers. I shy away from the 'custom price' though. Living on a 'Walmart' budget. If you ain't got a knive in your pocket, shame on you!

I carry a good ole Case,I use for everything from stripping wire to cutting shad, If you look real close you can see old dried shad blood on the blade. That stuff has been on there since this past winter, man that stuff is tuff.

I'm never without a knife! I can't remember when my Grandad gave me my first one, but I wasn't very old. My favorite was a Buck stockman I carried for years and wore out. I've had a lot of them over the years, and a lot of different disigns. Some go in the drawer after a couple of days after I figure out they don't feel as good as they look. I also carry a pocket diamond steel, so I never have an excuse for a dull knife!
