Pocket knife - what's yours?

[Wook]

After several years of carrying a Victorinox Swiss Champ, I got tired of carting a quarter-brick around with me and moved over to an Arthur Wright Two Bolster Senator. However I was unhappy with the edge retention of the blade and found I was missing the screwdrivers, so I went and bought a Victorinox Tinker.

On balance I'd say the Tinker is the best SAK, there is no "fat" on it at all. Just the stuff you actually need.

Isn't it about time you started looking at a folding Deval bushcrafter? Seriously, it's got to be the next evolution of the design .

They are weighty little things though.

Did that a couple of years ago here..... http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58620&p=713226#post713226

Then I realised there wasn't any point as Spyderco made it already.... but better:

Thats pants. It has a lock and the blade is too long.

That's why I carry a UKPK. A slippie version...

I have no need of a folder in the woods. Another reason I didn't persue the folding version of my knife.

SAK Tinker

I carry this one as well

I have one on my keys. I carry my bushcraft knife wherever I go, it has a dangler type sheath so if I go into an urban area I simple put it in my pocket while still on my belt. Works ideally.

If only we could do that here.

You could say that and as much as I like my spydies, they're cold clinical things.



Having forgotten that thread, I had a look through and saw

As Lord Flashheart would say, Woof!

I'd forgotten about that one. Hmm....

Left to right is an old Swedish barrel knife that used to belong to my Grandad, then a Victorinox SAK for the FAK, my first locking knife my Dad got me when I was about 9 and finally a folder I made a few years back.

I'd say the most used is the friction folder I made, it does loads of tasks at work and at home. The SAK is always carried but rarely used apart from the toothpick and tweezers. The barrel knife is carried sometimes and the locker rarely gets used these days. Sometimes I bring it camping for old time's sake...

Nice selection. Loving the little horn handle folder.

I have a Sanrenmu 710 in my EDC kit. It's good and like this knife.

 

[FGYT]

Usually one of mine

tho the current one has a hollow ground lambs foot blade

 

[R.Lewis]

At all Times a SAK farmer. Love the usefulness of the awl, saw, can opener and screwdrivers. Can get it razor sharp and edge retention is not too bad really..

I carry a SAK Super Tinker and a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. I live in a mountain town, so nobody minds I carry a fixed blade on the belt either. Maybe some people do, but most just assume you live up a canyon rather than in town.

I did have a coworker once say it was scary that I carried so many "Weapons". I asked if it would be scary if they where hammers and wrenches, and she said no. Had to re-educate her about knives being tools.

At the moment my out of work legal edc is a SAK alox farmer, it was a titanium UKPK bit I sold it a few weeks ago.
My daily work carry is now a Bradley alias 1 and a leatherman wave.

My first thread, I'm now over 100 posts, and have a desire to find a barrel knife

:evilangel:

Here's my rotation of shiny folders (uk legal).....




Friction folders left to right: Svord mini peasant in glorious pink, CKC Friction folder No.11, Gavkoo friction folder, TLIM bushcraft friction folder.



Slipjoints left to right: Spyderco Grasshopper, Rough Rider mini toothpick, Joker No.32 (I think), SAK Farmer (which many of us own).

I tend to always have my Farmer on me wherever I go and if I go out in the woods, any of the frictions go along too.
