do you carry a pocket knife ?

Big Dog · 09-22-2004, 05:12 AM

At work, I carry a little Case Stockman so as to not scare the sheeple. Elsewhere, I carry my 4" double-bladed Buck #317 folder. The Buck literally went around the world with me in the Navy. :nod:

I have a Schrade Old Timer folding knife with the leather beltpouch that I used to use all the time back when I planted explosives everyday at work...I have no idea how many cases of dynamite I used it on :insane:

DarthSane · 09-22-2004, 09:09 AM

Always carry my Original Leatherman. It's seen alot of the world.
I also carry a little one handed lockblade (Sharp Eagle) at all times.
I also carry from time to time a 4 inch Buck, and an Old Timer.

Rave · 09-29-2004, 12:22 PM

Always.

ScottD · 09-29-2004, 01:20 PM

Yup, everyday. Benchmade.

Logansdad, is it the Mustang model? If so I carried the same one when I was in the field. I still have it.

I honestly don't know..I bought it at Home Depot..it says Schrade+ USA 60T on the blade, plastic scales and a tan leather beltpouch

Dallas · 09-29-2004, 07:14 PM

Sorry Logansdad, it's a 1250T.

Smith357 · 09-30-2004, 06:27 PM

I carry a CRKT Viele Wasp.

Rave · 10-02-2004, 03:54 PM

Got a nice little switchblade at a show,"Automat Kalashnikov 74,Pohl Design,M Magnum KALS74.
Black alloy handel,screws,adj tension,countersunk button,powered by coil spring.
They come in a box looks lika an AK magazine w/foam fitted lining.
$25.00 and dealers offering $5.00 for the empty box.
Very powerful spring,false edge,literally razor sharp with a needle sharp point. lanyard hole and safety that I glued back as it kept getting in the way.
It is not nearly the quality of the recently made available AK47 knife,but it readily available and a good one for the money,not too fancy to carry either.

Rave · 10-06-2004, 09:02 AM

Well,I am trying toget a dialog going and keep this site moving,but I am not doing too good a job,guess I'm not a very good motivator.
I have noticed that switchblades are now advertised in almost all knife and even gun magazines,hopefully the interest will grow until the public demands that the stupid anti-switchblade laws are removed from first the federal books and then the remaining states.
Florida now has no law against the owning nor the carrying of switchblades and I think other states will change if the public wants it,but at this time there is not enough interest.
Psychodoright,heh,heh. I kind of like the name and am considering adopting it.

I carry a Swiss Army Cadet. It's thin and light but tough as nails. I have several other bigger knives and multi-tools around if I ever need them.

When one hears of an Italian style stiletto size in inches one can figure the handle to be 1 inch longer than the blade,thus a 13" stiletto has a 6" blade.
I have a 15" one displayed over my computer on a small Samari stand.
It has a bayonet type blade,black horn grip and the remainder is polished stainless steel.I got it direct from Italy and it is nice.
The smaller ones are a lot slimmer and lighter,this one weighs four more ounces than a 13" model.
I like my switchblades!

dinengurth · 10-11-2004, 10:25 PM

I used to have a Cold Steel Vaquero Grande. I really liked that knife, but I sold it to a friend. I bought a Kershaw Vapor to replace it. It's a good knife, but I can't seem to get a nice edge on it. I've also got a Buck lockback that was my grandfather's.

Rave · 10-12-2004, 07:36 AM

I bet that Buck will take and hold a good edge.

dinengurth · 10-12-2004, 07:40 AM

Oh it does, but it's heavy, so I don't carry it everyday.

Rave · 10-12-2004, 03:30 PM

Buck does make knives that are light weight,but have the same quality blades,I,myself prefer the nickle-silver frame,harder to find,but very attractive and don't corrode like the brass.

where can I find more info ?

Rave · 10-20-2004, 10:26 AM

Hi LD. You can probably get all the info you need by going to Buck knives and going from there.
Most of the Buck auto knives are offered in brass or nickle-silver,the price being about the same.
As far as conventional Bucks go I got a commerative 110 at Smoky Mountain Knife Works,it is the full size 110 with gray wood and a polished nickle-silver frame,it also has a logo saying Buck Knives 1902-2002.
I added a one -armed bandit button to make it a one hand opener.
If you need more info I will try to find it.
Respectfully,Rave
