For National Knife Day, here’s what I am carrying:
On the left, a Leatherman Micra with my keys. In the right pocket, a Vic Alox, Electrician, an Okapi Biltong, an Opinel 6 and my small ChannelLocks.
When I needed a fixed blade for some mechanical work, I took my Anza R2BU in a pocket slip. Later, when I went out for some yard work, I replaced the Anza with the Mora 510 Allround at the top. In its sheath, this knife is so light and unobtrusive it carries easily in a front pocket.
If not for National Knife Day, my selection would be pretty much the same, maybe with a different fixed blade.

Thanks for showing em. My weak spot lately is knives!! Top one looks like Damascus steel. Guess the best one I have in my meager collection is that Puma Skinner bought in 1967. I try to keep it in top shape after seeing the money they bring with the old Pumaster steel. Think I paid under $30 for it back then.

I carry one of these autos every day.
Middle piranha was in my pocket working at home all day. Cut a section out of a big piece of cardboard to make a template for some painting I needed to do, the tip scraped the black gunk trying to clog the hummingbird feeder holes, cut several pieces of rope, fished out some pine needles that had gotten in between the dash and window on my Shelby, and picked a splinter,

Several years back, my son gave me a Benchmade knife for Christmas. It was the first good quality pocket knife I'd ever had. Every time I used it (a lot), I thought of my son. It was really the best gift I'd ever been given.
That knife went everywhere with me, including the x-ray machine at the airport security check. The guy looked at me and just said "Really?".
I reluctantly gave it up. But I replaced it with the same. My next trip a few months later, I once again went to the airport with it on
. So this is my third Benchmade knife. Thankfully, COVID has made it easy for me to avoid airports for the last 6 months, so it's still clipped to my pocket everywhere I go.

Old photos of my auto’s that I’ve posted before.. I’ve added some I took these photos.
First up are the users. The Benchmade CLA is my current EDC, which replaced the HK OTF. The little Pro-Tech Calmigo was claimed by my wife!
This display case was purchased at an estate sale for $80. I wish it was taller and had more drawers, but it sure beats the tackle box that previously housed my folders.
A US MC-1 Paratrooper knife and some Italian stilettos. The two large knives on the bottom (A.G.A. Campolin Picklock and Frosolone) are a healthy 13" overall.
A Spyderco Autonomy 2...
Assorted American auto's and vintage German gravity knife...
A Military issue Gerber 06 Auto...
... and a factory Buck 110 Auto.
Some Randall’s...

I recently ordered some wall displays that I REALLY like. Sort of along the lines of when most every man had a nice gun rack hanging up, whether in a single wide trailer or a mansion. One could sit around with a drink and show the guns around. One of my fondest memories from growing up with my dad and his friends. I tasted my first beer at such a get together.

Case Tribal Lock
Oh, dear, I didn't know it was TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't resist.....KNIFE DAY!!!
And then, this Mossy Oak survival knife that my niece gave me for Father's Day this year so I had it engraved "ISCS" on one side, on the bolster because the blade had the Mossy Oak logo, and "Molon Labe" in ancient Greek letters on the blade's blank side. Plus the classic Spartan helmet.

I have the same Schrade
I have the same Schrade sheath knife as the one on the right, with the bear head handle.

This is an EXACT copy of my Microtech Cobra automatic knife, except my blade is all-silver. I'm too lazy to dig mine out of the safe. I paid $450.00 for mine circa 2014. It is mint, never used. It has ball-bearings in the top blade joint. It is my understanding that the Cobra is no longer made. Too bad.

I would hate to have to sharpen those 4 bladed ones! That would be a job.
