Outside the gates Al Mar SERE. Inside the gates Randall #1 mini. Lotsa years.
I've carried this little carbon steel Tidioute Conductor for five full years now. The gold color has now matured into a beautiful medium brown. Once I forced a curing patina on the blades, I don't really have any kind of rust problems.
I don't carry big knives. This little beauty is always with me and pretty much disappears in my pocket. As adept at opening packages and slicing an apple as it is removing an errant thread from a beautiful woman's blouse, I figure this great American made knife will hold up the rest of my days.
The Tidioute brand is one of several made in Pennsylvania by Great Eastern Cutlery. When I purchased this shortly after this model was released, all materials and labor were American. I haven't kept up with the company, so I have no idea what the current policy is. I am very pleased with mine.

I generally carry a pocket knife ...
... until I lose it. That's ok, because I have found many more knives, mostly on a streambank, than I have lost during my life. Of course, most of those knives have been lost, too! I recently decided to honor my Dad by carrying his Schrade Old Timer instead of letting it sit on the shelf where it has been for 25 years or so. Imagine my dismay when I recently reached in my pocket and found ... nothing.
This was followed by an hour of sifting through pine needles and saw dust where I had been operating the chain saw. All to no avail. I eventually became very discouraged, used many perfectly appropriate words, and gave up. Later, I went to retrieve my work clothes from the washer ... and guess what I found! Life is good. And, yes, after some thought, I will continue to carry it.

Buck 301 Stockman continually since 1974. I had one and in 1974 (the year my son was born) I broke a pin and sent it back for repair and they sent a new knife. I can't remember the year I bought my first one. Larry

12+ years. Case copperlock with Caribbean blue scales. Got it on my honeymoon at Smokey Mountain knife works in TN
I have a couple of old brass trimmed small lock backs that I've carried off and on since the 80s.Prior to that it would have been a SAK,but I've never had much luck putting a good edge on those.

I've carried a SOG Flash II that I found in Alaska in 2010 up until about 2 months ago, changed to a Buck Alpha Crosslock. Prior to that it was usually a small Browning or Oldtimer folder.

I have several SAK's that I keep handy for different uses. I always carry one in a pocket. I have fixed blade hunting and general use folders that I carry from time to time, but a SAK is always in my pocket,

About 15 years now, given me by Chuck Buck, my pride and joy. The blade is barely used, but the rest of the tools see use on a regular basis.
I don't carry a big pocket knife, because I carry tool pouch with a utility
razor knife and a Hawk bill for cable. Over the years I find myself with
the small lite-weight lock backs, like Case, Blackthorn. I have to replace
these once in a while, from misuse blades broke and handles broke. In the
field I carry a old Case Stockman, that I've had for 40yrs.
