OT: Show Pix of Your Pocket Knives

Old No7 · Post by **Old No7** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 4:22 pm

Following on the heels of JReed's recent "Show us what ya got..." posts, let's see what you all carry for pocket knives...

I always wear a Buck Tool on my belt (and have 4 extra and some spare parts in the cellar -- as I just never adapted to a Leatherman...) but I just got this custom little beauty at a blackpowder gun show yesterday...

Damascus n Burl knife (Small).JPG

I've always wanted to get a nice burl-handled blade, or maybe even a Damascus blade, but I really didn't expect to get both at the same time. This custom knife also has Damascus metal for the bolsters. Pretty neat, as least I think so. I had looked at it early in the show, but the father away I got from it, the louder it was calling me from way across the hall... (What does she think she is... A levergun or something???)

I added the quarter in the pix for scale -- and the "boots" were added for Ysabel Kid of course!

So... What'cha carrying in your pocket???

Later we can do a post on belt or sheath knives if you want...

A 4 1/4" EYE BRAND STOCKMAN IN MY RIGHT FRONT POCKET AND A LEATHERMAN WAVE ON MY RIGHT SIDE BELT BEHIND MY FRONT JEANS POCKET.
THEY LOOK LIKE ALL THE REST OF 'EM.

I put one together from a parts kit from Darrel Ralph.
Titanium liners, AUS 7 blade, cocobolo scales I sanded and polished but left au-natural, my own filework on the spine.

milled the scales to thickness

drum sanded the spine and scales to shape

scales mounted after the filework is done

finished, and a little belt sheath for it.

Keeps a heluva edge and has a stout, solid, yet butter-smooth action that really "walks and talks" SO nice.

This is what is in my pocket right now.

Modoc ED · Post by **Modoc ED** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:39 pm

A knife like this (Spyderco Delica4 FRN Combo Edge) is in my left front pocket right now.

I also cary a Leatherman Juice C2 in a belt pouch on my belt behind my right front pocket.

jhrosier · Post by **jhrosier** » Sun Feb 28, 2010 6:53 pm

I've been carrying this one for a couple or threee years.

3-1/2" blade and seems to hold an edge pretty well.

here's my bird and trout collection in my display curio (I take these out and use them)

The folders are a serialized Moore Maker 3-spring whittler, and mint Simmons Hardware Hornet and Shapleigh's Hardware.
My other folders are CRKT M-16 compact, a Benchmade axis lock, and a handful of Spydercos.

Besides, it has my fishing reels (I guess I may take them out 2-at-a-time

i'll have to take some knife pics one day.

Bulldog, you store your sheaths upright, but upside down, any reason for this?

bdhold · Post by **bdhold** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 10:45 am

no, just a place to prop them up - no other reason at all.

This one exclusively:

Kershaw KS-1550-Ken Onion Blackout.jpg

Kershaw Ken Onion Blackout.

Probably the most comfortable and easy handling knife I've ever had.

typical 9 piece swiss army knife for me!

Fred, you must have big pockets!

Lawyer Daggit · Post by **Lawyer Daggit** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 4:16 pm

Original Leatherman tool ( a lot of the later ones strike me as to big and bulky) and Smith and Wesson 's.w.a.t. first milennium run' OR if hunting, a synthetic handled puma folding knife.

Lately I have been carrying a little Buffalo River folder that is of surprisingly good quality given its price point.

Modoc ED · Post by **Modoc ED** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 5:35 pm

I was down at my local sporting goods store yesterday. He has a really nice, large, selection of knives and he had a really nice Kershaw in the display cabinet.

I had some NIB Case knives and took 5 of them down today to see if he'd swap straight across. He said yeah so I came home with this knive.

Kershaw Nakamura Model 1480; Clad VG-10 stainless steel center core with 420J2 outer layer blade and very sharp right out of the box. Yowza!!!! Very fancy. The scales (handles) are Quince Wood.

It has really nice work on the bolster showing the copper layering in the bolster. The knife has a clip but at only 3 7/8" closed with a 2 7/8" blade it will make a just right sized pocket knife so I think I'll take the clip off and carry it in my right front pocket as the left front pocket is occupied with the Spyderco Delica I posted a picture of earlier in the thread.

jeepnik · Post by **jeepnik** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 6:15 pm

Well not a "pocket" knife, but this one is my current favorite. In the fancy class.

tman · Post by **tman** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 6:38 pm

Better late than never (which is pretty much the story of my life these days)...

This is the lockblade folder I carry all the time except when I have to fly.

Here is the Swiss Army Knife I carried for decades, from my youth, and I still carry at Boy Scout activities.

And these are just "back-up" pocket knives for everyday use!

bdhold · Post by **bdhold** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 9:36 am

I'll add a few - I like this thread.

Benchmade

Shapleigh's and Schatt (Queen)

Moki bird & trout
this is the first one I pick up when there is work to do - the most natural-feeling little knife I've ever handled

thanks for posting photos, guys - nice knives.

Carry it with me everywhere I go. Nice and hard S30V steel keeps an edge for a LONG time.

That's a NEAT idea! Is that drum sander available specifically for a drill press or did you make it?

This is the knife I carry daily. I made it last year to replace my old one I sold. Use it for feild dressing most of my deer also. Its an old mediterainean style.

cnjarvis and I have the same taste in knives - mine is a standard Kershaw Ken Onion 1560:

My constant companion, it serves for many tasks.

Very nice knife. You say you made it. Was it from a kit or did you make it from scratch. Regardless, it is very handsome.

hondo1892 · Post by **hondo1892** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 1:56 pm

Modoc I made it from scratch. I don't make them very often, usually one a year. They are time consuming to get everything just right.

JimT · Post by **JimT** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 3:38 pm

This one is a handy little knife ... nothing fancy like some of the ones posted but it works. It's by Microtech ...

Just part of a cheap set of sanding drums. Harbor freights sells a better set, up to 4", but when I looked, they were out ef em....

Nothing wrong with that at all. I have several knives of that type -- slip joint. I love the Trapper, Stockman, and other style knives.

Very nice knife.

I've never gotten a picture of it but this is clipped to my pocket unless I'm in a place (or outfit) that won't allow it. In those other times, it's still close at hand:

It's the "Hi-Tech Folder" kit from Jantz supply with the belt/pocket clip installed.

Very nice knife.

Like I said; there is nothing wrong with those slip-joint (non-locking) Trapper, Stockman, Whittler, knives at all.

Here is a picture of my large 4 1/8" Case Trapper that I carry on a regular basis.

There is just something about the "old school" knives.

awp101 - That's a nice kit-knife.

Grizzly Adams · Post by **Grizzly Adams** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 11:22 am

Here's another "old school" pocket knife I picked up many years ago. Don't carry it much, as I am afraid I might lose it. Marked on the master blade as "Henry Sears and Sons 1865."

Nicely made old devil and wicked sharp!

This one is from 1936 and was used to carve primitive decoys for Delaware River duck hunting by Steve Buzash. It was a gift to me from him. Made by a company called Pocketeze.

Love knives with a history! Kinda like old leverguns, I guess.

Borregos · Post by **Borregos** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:18 pm

I always have at least two pocket knives with me unless I am flying.
I have the Spyderco that is on the top left clipped to my pants pocket.
I carry one of the others below it in my pocket.
The bottom left one is a neat little Gerber money clip.
The one in the middle at the bottom is my late fathers' "penknife" he was never without it.
