Pocket Knives - How many of y’all still carry one?

[Gtrubicon]

I carry a knife ever day

[TimD]

I carried a case folder as a boy on the farm.
Always had a Buck on my belt in the service, still have it and several marlin spikes.
A buddy gave me a CRKT which is great for cutting the wrap off hay bales and other chores. I liked it so much I now have several around the house and in the shop.
I always have a small folder in my pocket, my favorite is a Kershaw Chive.

My son does the same.

I always have a knife in my pocket. I've about a half dozen that rattle around. But one is in my pocket all the time. My last job had a prohibition on knives, even went to the extent of only allowing us to purchase safety box cutters, one of most worthless inventions ever. My manager gave me a look and fussed at me when i popped open my knife to open a box. I totally ignored him.

3 blade medium Case Stockman for me . Sometimes in hot weather a clip n
Knife. Never ever without a knife. That would seem foolish.

Always, have one for everyday carry, work, and hunting.

My current carry is a Old Timer, it is very handy but a bit hard to keep sharp. Would like something with a blade that holds the edge longer but that costs money that I don't have. I have had knives for about 60 years now. I also have a Leatherman I bought about 35 years ago. Great for everything.

Permanent accessory. If it isn't allowed, I don't go there, period or, consider that "what they don't know won't hurt them.". I'm not a criminal and never have been a criminal.

Got in the habit about 8 yrs. old on the farm carrying a 3 blade stockman, still do. Dad gave it to me and I don't remember what kind it was. That was 60 years ago. I expect around here most carry a pocket knife of some sort.

3 for me, a Remington upland folding knife, a Spiderco clip knife and a little Swiss army to trimming nails. All the time since age 8 except where they make me leave them in the car. Even in suit pants to weddings and funerals. I insist they be carried in my office so we have something to play Mumblety-peg with.

This is my current EDC. I love the blade, love the damascus look, dislike that the clip is on the wrong end and is not easy to move.

But it sharpens up VERY nice.

I have carried a knife for about 50 years, if I have a pair of pants on I have one in my pocket. I cant believe the young people at work that cant even open a box without asking for one. My current knife is a Kershaw Cryo ll.

My Dad gave me a Buck lock back in 1967 for Christmas when I was 12 years old. I have carried the same knife for 54 years where legal, and sometimes not. Will pass it down to my son. Pretty beat up but still works fine.

[Hossfly]

Buck 110, and Case always.

[nicky4968]

I carry two. One is small. The other is smaller.

[rbuck351]

Been carrying one since about 1954. Used several different knives until about 1980. I worked on the north slope in Ak and found a Swiss Army tinker in a washing machine at the camp where I was staying. I liked it so much I haven't been without one except for the last two years as a correctional officer. An officer use a pocket knife to protect himself against some inmates and admin came down hard on the rule about no knives at work. I didn't carry at work for the last two years but other than that I don't get up in the morning without what I call my Swiss army tool kit. When I fly commercial I put my knife in my checked bag as I will need it when I get where I'm going. Don't know how folks get by without one.

Got my first one around 1955 for Christmas from my dad. Been carrying pretty much ever since. I was in the Navy for 38 years and either had one on my belt or in my pocket, sometimes both. I remember when you could carry when flying. Right now I have a Benchmade on my belt. I'll keep carrying thank you.

[WinchesterM1]

I am a bench made guy, I just got this crooked river after retiring another bench made from 12 good years of use

I’ve carried a knife DAILY for 15 years, if I forget my phone at the house I won’t care, but if I forget my pocket knife I’ll turn around and go back

[granville_it]

I like "Opinel", S/S.

Otherwise, I use a "Case XX" three bladed knife.

In high school the teachers would occasionally borrow mine. Now, I carry a smaller and lighter knife but I never go without one. Generally a CaseXX peanut. I have 2 that I rotate between. One is red jigged bone, the other is a motor oil color smooth bone. I found the smooth one in a parking lot at work and it was never claimed. In the car are more serious implements.

[tigweldit]

Carried one since 9 or 10 years old. Still carry one today, 60 years later. I've got a collection of about a hundred or two, so I can throw a different knife in my pocket as the spirit moves me. Usually a 3" two blade Case with razor edge.

[gbrown]

I've usually had one all my life. A few years, didn't. Got one in my pocket right now. A cheap Amazon buy. But, it holds an edge, one hand knife. I have a ton of pocket knives, but this one is what I prefer. Always want to have one close by. Handy stuff.
