Pocket Knife

Leatherman Wave for me as well. I have a Benchmade "Griptillian" but haven't had many chances to use it yet, because the Leatherman never has failed me.
 
Well evidently my pocket knife doesn't have a name. It is one my dad gave me years ago. Has pearl type handles and is about 3 inches long. Like I mentioned in another thread, I used to use one like this to play games with on the playground.
Now I can't even "legally" have it in my possession when I substitute at school because that is against school policy. Times have changed.

What are you carrying? Or what is on your wish list to carry?

I have a SOG flash and SOG flash II. I like them, enought to buy the second one..... and for the price don't mind beating them up. Have been looking at nicer custom folders, and even some custom fixed, although i'm not sure how much i'd wear a fixed.

My trusty Gerber goes with me most everywhere.
 
Chris Reeves mini Sebenza carbon-fibre and titanium... Had to have it. Great blade. Also a big fan of my Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Absolutely fantastic knife that has a giant thumb hole making it easily to flip open one-handed.
 
A Hawbaker's "Muskrat Special". My sheath knife I carry during deer season in a Gerber "Trout & Bird". Short blade, but gets the job done.

I found a second one in a hardware store about five years ago and picked it up, as I believe they're no longer made.

I always have a Victorinox Swiss Army knife with me (I own several), except when flying, or if i go out and think I may get frisked (at a club or bar); I've lost too many pocket knives that way.

When hiking, hunting, canoeing, fishnig etc... I have at least one other pocket knife, either another Victorinox Swiss Army knife or my Normark green folding knife (I don't know the model), as well as my Leatherman Kick. I also bring a fixed blade (5-6 inches long) in my pack - either my Gerber or my Buck knife (again, I don't know the models).

I never realized until this thread how over-prepared I am at bringing knives with me when outdoors...

Al,
When my boys were in elementary school, they brought my Civil War Union cavalry saber for show and tell. Less than ten years later, a girl, (honor student), was expelled from school for ten days because she brought a pan of brownies, with a paring knife to cut them, to school. Times certainly have changed.

"Yella-haneled "Case trapper with carbon blades. All I've ever carried. Cain't believe I didn't see any listed here.
By the by; Case Trapper with yellow scales.LOL
 
I had a Swiss army knife for about 20 years and lost it a year ago. The one with 2 blades, scissors, bottle and can opener and Philips screwdriver. I liked it becasue I am always tinkering with something. I belive it is the Super Tinker model
 
Case Executive lock back. Just handed one to a Police Officer at a Sea Hawks Game recently when I forgot to leave it in the car and had no choice but to trash it or not go into the game. :-( Times have changed!!! Carried a "pocket knife" since I was 10 years old or so....maybe 1955 or so. Went to the flat case SS lockbacks back in the 70's when I started working plain clothes.

Used Case knifes most of my life. Wore out several Case Muskrats skinning critters when I was trapping in the 80's but have stayed with the flat SS Case lockbacks since because they fit in your pocket.

When I used to deer hunt I carried a Case Folding Hunter? on my belt

I like the Case knives because they sharpen so easy...but the downside is they also dull easier than say ......a Buck.
 
Lost a nice gerber at a launch several weeks ago. Too bad cause I had it for a couple of years and it was just getting broken in.
 
Leatherman Charge tti. Its what the wave wants to be when it grows up;)

A few over the years. I've probably been carrying a knife everyday, well certainly since high school back in the 60's. I think the first one was Trapper or a nockoff - two blades. I've carried real tiny knives during my three piece suit days - my grandpa's Swiss Army for a bunch of years and a few others in between. Now, I'm like Tom, my leatherman goes on my belt all the time. I think I'm on my third one now. With my arthritis the pliers come in handy as often as anything else followed by the phillips head screw driver and then the knife blade - I'm lost without it.
 
I have a Benchmade Volli. It's an assisted opener with S30V steel.
Very sharp and stays that way a long time.
Very good ergonomics.
 
carried a swiss army for Yeats but the my wife bought me a leatherman . I through I eouln never use it I was wrong.

lost my original down a hole in the ice beaver trapping. so now I have a wave. like tom and Pete I don't get dressed without putting it on my belt.

I was once in an airport and put my hand in my pocket and realized I had my pocket knife. Not wanting to turn it over I found an out of the way spot behind a sign to put it. I was coming back later in the day and picked my knife back up on my way home. Tom

I was coming back from vacation in Belize a few years ago. Standing in line waiting to go thru security I realized that my Grandpa's Swiss Army knife was still in my pocket. My luggage had already been checked thru so I couldn't put it in there. They never found it and I had it with me all the way to Houston - had to pick up my checked bag before going thru customs/imigration and on to another in-country flight. I was able to stick it in my checked bag for the final leg of my trip. Would have been a bummer to lose that one.
