Sitting and wathching TV, slicing an apple and realized that I was using my old lunchpail (30+years) Henckles 4" paring knife that I have actually used more often than any other knife that I own. Even if it isn't the best bush knife I usually include it in my mess kit when out and about or at work in my pail. do some of you have a similar experience?
Most used knife?

Yeah, at one time I would have said my old SAK but these days its a no.10 Opinel that gets pressed into all sorts of jobs, even used it underneath the car when changing rear trailing arm bushes to cut through some stubborn rubber on the old ones, cleaned and sharpened up it was as good as new again. TBH it does everything I need a knife to do and I always have it handy.
Similar answer to Jasons. Used to be my SAK, nowadays its the knife on my Leatherman - just because it there. Same with torches - I have loads, but tend to use the mag soliaire tucked in the side of my Leatherman puch or the surefire in the car - they just come to handCarcajou Garou said:

Opinel no.8 is the one I tend to carry all the time, hence I use it more. The fact it came in a nice leather sheath helped.

Yeah, I guess I'm pretty pleased with it.
I suppose I should stop showing off. :sulkoff:
For me its my SAK it lives in my bag for daily use but my home made woodlore clone sees alot of use that goes out and about when id do.
Wayland please can you bring your knife to the full members meet i would love a closer look at it one of those would make a great project for me.

It is a really nice knife, with that in mind I just had to check ebay
c1874 Joh Engstrom of Sweden Barrel Knife Number 7 is going for £40+ just now.
Sorry for the 'quick' thread hijack
My leatherman has to be my most used knife/tool, it seems to get used for everything, at one point my other half thought I had a problem as it was being used to open anything that was cuttable (if that's a word?)

Sure thing James. It goes almost everywhere with me anyway.
I've got another, smaller one that I'm going to put back on E-bay soon I'll bring that too.
I bought it a while back but the catch needs some attention.
I was going to fix it, but I can probably do better selling it to a collector and getting another.

I'd like a look at that too if you dont mind you might not have to put it on ebay if i can convince my wife that i should have it.

Not at all,it's well worth showing.I intend to get one eventually,if I can afford it.
If you got it flaunt it!
I have a victorinox mauser that goes most places with me, but my frost mora gets a work out when ever I can.
Allthough when I recieve my Bearclaw Field Knife, it will become my fave.
