I'm older, and one tends to accumulate things over the years. So, I have many pocket knives, all sorts and sizes, mostly gifts from friends and family, but I really only have three pocket knives like, two of which I carry, depend on, and use. They a Moose pattern and two trapper patterns. All three are two bladed, with a clip and a spey, they are the perfect pocket knife for a fur trapper: one blade for skinning and tight places, and one blade for splitting the tail. Of course, I use them for other things as well, the trapper, or the moose, are just about perfect knife choices. The moose is heavy and seems to be the sort Nessmuk preferred as well, it is certainly in his trio. All three of these knives are above 30 years old, and the Remington Bullet is showing real signs of wear on the clip blade. The old Eye Brand is carbon steel and I've never taken proper care of it. It will hold an edge though, and that's all the matters in the long run.

My Victorinox 'Compact' gets the most pocket time by far, I've quite a few folders but this one is pretty much perfect for my day to day needs.
 
I have three:

- the smallest is a small necker scalpel made by Danish knifemaker Jens Anso
- the second is a SAK Soldier
- the third is a Zero Tolerance ZT300BK folder- it's a tank, about the size of a Strider knives SMF folder

I carry the Anso and the SAK in my pockets, and the Zero Tolerance in my waistband or in a belt pouch.
