Plain old Gerber LST that's getting close to 30-years-old now (had it through high school, the Marine Corps and on 'til today). I guess they don't make them anymore but I found a new one last year for when, or if, the original I have ever quits. So far, the first one's still going strong.

Hey, nogoodnamesleft, I was mistaken. It looks like they are still making the LST. I just looked through my records and found out it was actually 2008/2009 when I had a hard time finding a spare but now I see they're available all over the internet. GerberGear > Product Details > L.S.T. Let's just hope they're still made in the US and not China.

They are still around. It may be old stock but I buy one when ever I see them, usually at hardware stores. I like the drop point like the one you show. I used to carry those but kept loosing them. Nice little knife, takes and keeps nice edge but their light weight makes them easily overlooked when emptying your pockets.

Benchmade Kulgera, or Benchmade mini-barrage
When wearing dress clothes and a clip is on the pants is not acceptable, I throw a Benchmade Benchmite or Benchmade Shoki in my pocket.

SOG FLASH II TANTO IN BLACK. It's a spring assist. I like the tanto blade. It is razor sharp.

What is the purpose of the 'clip' on the side of some of these knives?
I don't care for the appearance, and it looks like it would interfere with a good hand grip.

Anybody seen the Remington bade assist tanto styled pocket knife, cost about 50 bucks seems very fast and very, very sharp, looks like the SOG shown by Will Carry, We just got them in, other than Ken Onion, and Marine K bars I know absolutely nothing about knifes.

I really like the K-bar knives, but I wasn't a Marine and haven't earned the right to carry one.
The clip on my SOG allows me to clip it into my jeans pocket. That way it is easier to get to. I'm an industrial mechanic and I use this knife for a work knife as well as an EDC.

Kershaw Black Out. I really like many of the Kershaw knives and their warranty is great. I broke the blade on mine a while back doing something foolish and clearly abusive. I sent it to them with an honest confession and asked if they could possibly replace the blade and bill me for it. Kershaw just replaced the knife, no questions asked. That's great service.

Choices
I really enjoy the great pics. I have a lot of knives and rotate them some according to needs and dress. I carry a Spyderco Military when I am in jeans and need a bigger knife while working outside. I have a Kershaw composit Leek that goes with me frequently. I slip a small Macusta in layered steel in the pocket when wearing dress clothes or maybe a Case mini Copper Lock in cranberry bone. I also have a Emerson CQC-10 in the rotation. I frequently carry SAK Tradesman along with another locking blade of some type. There are a couple of Benchmades that I like also. My wife says I don't ever need another knife...I don't agree. She doesn't need anymore shoes but she doesn't agree with that...So, its a stalemate. That reminds me. Its about time for something new!

Good knife for the money...
Kershaw Tone... $29.99 at Academy Sports...
Made in China... but the best knife I've ever seen from that country...
Pocket clip...Speed assist opening... strong lock-up...very tactical...
I've got better, more expensive knives...
But this one serves me well...

I have had my trusty Leatherman PST II (in it's original leather case) on my belt for about every minute of the last 17 or so years since I bought it. It's repaired everything from cars, to kids toys to battle damage on an F-16 (shh, don't tell, personal tools aren't allowed...) I rarely use the blade on it, but the pliers and various screwdrivers are used constantly. I also use the ruler marks inscribed on the side to make quick, rough, measurements of things.
I carry a Gerber folding knife in my left pocket to use on all my ordinary, daily things that require a sharp blade (opening boxes, envelopes, etc.) Nothing special, but it's a nice Gerber knife, keeps a good blade.
Lastly, in case I need something a little more, tactical, I carry a Spyderco Endura4 with a self made wood beaded lanyard hanging a little from my pocket to allow instant grasping. It takes and holds about the sharpest blade I've ever seen other than my Dad's old knife he passed down to me. I don't know much about it other than he got it back when he was a teen and entered the Air Force (60's) and it's stamped "Original Bowie Knife" on the blade and "Solingen" "Germany" on the base of the blade. It's a solid, thick blade and a bone/antler? type handle. I was able to sharpen it better than anything I've ever worked on; it floats through a sheet of paper without resistance. BTW, the leather sheaf it came with is in bad shape; anyone know where I might get a new one?

Sound's like a Puma that are still being sold:
World Knives: Puma Hand Made Original Bowie Hunting Knife - PU116396
Lemme dig,probably can get a sheath to fit,maybe not an original but something "good enough"?

I've had a tiny Buck 305 in my pocket almost constantly for over 30 years. (Carried it every day to school, those were the good old days). I broke the tip off the main blade shortly after I got it. I've been told Buck will fix it for free. No way do I want it fixed, as it is it makes a really handy screwdriver. I have used it hundreds of times over the years in that regard, including fixing my car when it broke down at the most inconvenient places. It's a keeper.
The other "always" knife I carry is a Spyderco Delica. It is the half-serrated model with the old plastic clip. I much prefer that clip to the newer metal clip as it gives the fingers a better purchase on the knife during the opening process. I use it every day, whether just opening mail or some other utilitarian task.
I also have a Ken Onion Speed-Safe assisted opener that I carry when I want to be "Tactical", and the Applegate/Fairbairn Combat Folder and The Covert.
I never go anywhere withou8t at least one good knife.

The clip allows you to hang the knife on the lip of your trouser pocket in a consistent orientation instead of having to search for it in the bottom of same.

As I tend to giveaway or misplace good pens and knives, I now carry a CRKT voyager, it's a good size W/O being considered a weapon. Bought two on closeout for $19.95 each at R.E.I. and I still have both of them.
For special occasions, the Lovely and Charming gave me her grandfather's 90 year old Schrade "safety button" knife. Granddad bought that knife when he graduated from the university of California Berkeley and returned to the "Gold Country" to rejoin the family lumber business.

The Puma has a 6.1 inch blade,but the guard will get in the way-lemme get a bit cheaper one up to fit it....the double guard sheathes tend to be pretty low cost.
Straight Sheath Black 7" - New Graham Knives
That one WILL fit it since it has the double guard,if I might borrow that pic I may be able to find out what it is,I go to knife forums so I could post it,of course it could be so generic as to be unidentifiable but,hey,never know until you try.

Not counting my boy scout knife from days gone by, my first daily carry knife was a Spyderco Delica that I bought in the early 1990s. When the plastic clip on it broke, I got a Gerber EZ-Out and I've been carrying that one every since. Lost it for a bit last year when I left it on a utility trailer while getting a propane tank refueled. Retraced my steps and found it in the gutter beside the road. It had been runned over. Straightened the flatten clip and cleaned it up a bit. Still going strong. I feel naked without it!

Wow, I'd really appreciate that if it you wouldn't mind. I doubt it's worth anything other than to me (even if it was, I'd never sell it). I would love to know more about it. Obviously, it's been well used. Dad had that knife and an old, octagonal barreled, pump .22 (Henry rifle). When I came back after he was diagnosed with liver cancer, the knife was still there, but the rifle was missing. He was conned into selling it for $50 to one of my cousin's on his side. I took the knife. After the funeral, one of his brothers (the one who had that cousin) called to ask if I happened to see a knife, with a leather sheaf with a buck on it... I told him nope, didn't see it. I wasn't about to even let him start some kind of story to get his hands on it. Thanks for the link to the sheaf, I want to keep it and pass it on to one of my sons some day. If you ever find out anything about it, I'd appreciate it, thanks!!!

Gimme anywhere from a few days to maybe a few weeks (I may have to yell at one place I go to-it's so big) but I'll throw it out there and see what I get and PM the info to you.
I'm planning to make knives so I have this overwhelming interest in them,one thing is for sure if it goes back into the 70's or 60's it is possibly tied to one of the bigger makers (maybe) which would be like Eckhorn or Boker-maybe,we'll see.

I bought two of these on clearance at target. One is still in the package.
Here is my other gem, picture taken from Cold Steel webpage. It's a Talwar, now dis-continued. It originally went for $530 retail. I paid $143, legit. blade is japanese laminate and handle is titanium.

Ok, I noticed a few people mentioned Kershaw, and the Leek. So, I was walking through the BX and saw the knife section. All the knives are displayed in clear plastic packages so you can see them, but I saw a stack of boxes on the bottom shelf just sitting there. The side said "Kershaw", which triggered my memory of this thread. I took a look and found the Kershaw Leek Composite. Ok, so it was $69.99, but it looked really cool and some of you had specifically mentioned it as great so... I now have the Leek Composite for my daily knife (and the larger Spyderco endura 4 for large tasks). Here is the Leek Composite:

A 25+ yr-old Victorinox Tinker in one pocket and a Spyderco Emerson-waved Endura clipped to the other.

If you could give me some exact measurements of the knife, or perhaps trace the outline on a sheet of paper, scan it, and post the picture here, I'd be happy to make a sheath for you for a reasonable price.

Wow, thanks for the offer. I already ordered one from the site recommended by another forum member. But, if it doesn't work out, I will DEFINITELY contact you. BTW, the pic I posted has a ruler in it for size. It fits in my KA-Bar sheath, so it's a pretty standard size and shape.

The Kershaw Ken Onion Knives have turned out to be much better than I expected. I carry a shallot and my wife carries a leek.

Last year for Christmas, my wife bought me an LED head lamp. It came packaged with a kind of nondescript Browning folder, which I had been carrying. This year, she gave me a Griptilian, bless her. Guess what I carry now.
In my other pocket, there is a Leatherman Micra. It gets a lot of use.

Benchmade I got from my son, last Christmas.
Great clip-knife & I carry it every day.
But, I do miss my Leatherman.

Just ordered this Kershaw Whiskey Gap for a light duty EDC. It's small with a 2.25" blade and only 3.2" closed with AUS6A stainless.
Will see how it works out... but not a major investment.

Ive had these two for at least a dozen years. The Titanium handled Buck gets more carry as it is legal in a lot more places than the full auto Benchmade Butterfly. Both come with black nylon belt holsters and have an edge you could shave with (but don't try this at home boys and girls). (o;
