Good advice. If my britches are on, there’s a pocket knife in them. I only take it out at an airport or in the courthouse.

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
That's one reason we don't fly anymore! I hated having to pack my pocket knife in my baggage before a flight, and then not have it. Of course I can't pack my carry gun either, so that's equally annoying.Scott Tschirhart wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:16 amGood advice. If my britches are on, there’s a pocket knife in them.

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
Nancy’s newest suitcase has a pocket for a portable battery right on top. I slip my knife in it right before entering the terminal. As soon as I get out of the terminal it’s right back where it belongs.marlinman93 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:35 am [

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
I keep several knifes close at hand. I have one in the pocket of the door in every vehicle I own. I did have a BUCK 110 but I recently lost it and cannot recall where or when I used it last. I have several Case and Old Timers that belonged to my dad and grandfather that I keep put up because I do tend to lose them so often. My EDC pocket knifes are typically a Case Trapper or a Buck Langford. I also keep one in my lunch box for work.

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
I'll have to check with my cousin about pocket knives before I next visit them in NZ. Last time was in 2000, before the madness set in. Of course, after winning the LOTTO, (that's when, not if! ) it'll be by yacht (mine), and everyone knows a sailor has to carry a knife!marlinman93 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:35 amThat's one reason we don't fly anymore!

Thanks! I got them from Harbor Freight. Picked up a bunch of them; use them for the knives, tools, etc.

It was made by AKC. European red stag handles. I really like it.Rube Burrows wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 3:12 pm
What brand is that lever automatic that you got when searching John Wayne's knife? Its a beauty.
I bought it online from "3Knives", which is now "The Knife Shop".

Unfortunately they no longer have it available. I wish I had bought two.
BTW, the last one was also from 3Knives.

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
The Buck 110 is a knife I've wanted for a long time, but somehow have never managed to acquire while up north. I carry a Puma stockman, similar to my grandpa's old Böker stockman that he carried everywhere. I've got that one, my aunt gave it to me after grandpa passed on. Every time I see it I'm reminded of my grandpa and it makes me wonder how many calves it steered, how many brook trout it cleaned, how many apples it peeled and what other tasks did he put it to? So the Puma rides with me and the Böker is in my drawer. These days, however, I often find myself reaching for a little Kershaw blade that shares pocket space with the Puma. It's handy as it's a one handed opener and closer, having a bolster liner lock and a stud to use to flick it open. Folks here think it odd that someone would carry a knife as they only see them as weapons. BUT when something needs cut, trimmed or opened they don't mind me helping out. Shucks, one time we were invited to an "asado" and the folks who invited us didn't have ANY kind of knife. So my Puma did the honors and they were able to divide up the meat and serve folks. One of the things I hate about air travel is that you've got to empty your pockets of anything useful. So when heading north I slip a Case trapper in my kit in my checked luggage so that I'll have a walking around knife when we finally get there.

Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
Got my first knife at 4 years old. Only time I haven't had one on me since was in Basic Training. Lots of knives still in my possession. On me know is a Hofner in 440C. Had a few Kancept. Poor heat treatment. Won't hold an edge. Like Spyderco. Still have an old original Delica with serrated blade. It has been sharpened a few times. Still sharp as the day it was factory new. For just slicing, I like Mora knives. I can sharpen knives pretty well. Tycer can sharpen as well as anyone I know.
