Pocket Knives

[rusty_tlc]

I work in an office. I carried a Uncle Henry three blade pen knife for years. Fits nice in a watch pocket.
Now I carry a Leatherman Micra.
Scissors, Clip-Point Knife,Tweezers, Nail File / Cleaner, Flat Phillips Screwdriver, Extra Small Screwdriver, Medium Screwdriver, Bottle Opener(very usefull on ocassion), Ruler (Inch / Metric). I have changed a hard drive with it, not fun but doable. All in all not bad for a tool that fits in the watch pocket of a pair of Levis.

When I am outdoors I carry a Browning folding sheath knife my wife gave for our first aniversary. There are probably better knives around nowadays, but I'm a creature of habit.

I keep a Kaybar in my survial gear.


I guess the type of knife you carry could be a function of what you plan to do?

I will always carry one that can be opened and closed one handed.

I friend just got (see link below) and it is really cool. It opens automatically like a switchblade but it isn't clasified as one. You have to press the "unlock" button then press the open button. He works for a govenment law encorcement agency in DC and cautioned me that they are illegal in certain states.

Honestly I've been carring around one of those Home Depot foldable utilty type knives. Sharp and convienent... the best part is if I break the blade I can just put in a brand new one. Works pretty good for me.

I carry two knives, a SOG knive and one of these $9 specials from Home Depot. I can use the HD for pretty much anything as a new blade is a quick as tossing the old razor blade out and putting a new one in. I use it to cut ANTHING I want to without worrying about it.

The SOG I use for all the other stuff where a nice knive is convenient to have.

But seriously, I use the HD special 90% of the time and on a daily basis.

I give them out as gifts as well and everybody loves them.

By the way, I just noticed yesterday that Costco has a five pack for like $15 bucks or something like that.

I have carried a Case knife for 30 years and the same one if i might
add. It has never failed me and is still razor sharp because the steel
is of very high quality. it is a Stag Deer bone handled stockman.
Probably one of the best and most expensives on the market.
Here is a pic of it
