What is your favorite pocket knife?

[eb07]

I want to mention three. A tactical folder, a multi tool, and a classic pocket knife.

I used to carry a Benchmade HK 14200SBT for years. It was great. Lost it for 18 months on one of my properties at night. Found it in the wash after a flood. Yes 18 months. You can see the corrosion on it but it cleaned right up. It is still my favorite tactical folder.

About 5 years ago I realized I needed more utility for my day to day so I retired the benchmade and went to a Leatherman original Wave that I modified with a spyderco pocket clip for work.

Outside of work I carry a Case Jr. Scout which is my absolute favorite knife right now.

Three of my favorite knives but if I had to choose just one it would be the Case Jr. Scout. It has everything I need to get through my days and is lightweight.

So what's your favorite or favorites?

Case xx Pen knife always in my left front pocket.

 

[damienph]

I like Case knives as well. I have several but usually carry a single blade Sod Buster Jr.

In also have several Buck, Schrade, and Boker knives.

Picked up a Sog Trident Tanto couple years back. Has the spring assist blade and clip to attach to pant pocket to keep secure. Blade steel is advertised as Aus-8 and it keeps a decent edge. Has been my everyday carry knife. Blade length is 3.75 inches I believe.

anyone of these

I carry a Benchmade Mini Griptillian clipped to my right pocket but always in my left pocket is a Case Medium serpentine, 3 5/8", 3 blade stockman. Either a 5318 (stag) or a 6318 (bone) and I have about 5 or 6 of these that I alternate with. I have many, many pocketknives and have collected for years and sold some. I have tried the Trapper knives and Jack knives but always go back to the stockman design.
I guess my favorite is the Case 3 blade, 3 5/8" serpentine stockman.

Another vote for the Benchmade Mini Griptillian. Hard knife to beat.

Another vote for Case; I like Muskrats or Slimline Trappers.

Spyderco Endura 4

 

[StrawHat]

I carry Barlows of some make or another. When I think I need something tactical, I carry a fixed blade.

Hands down, The Governor, a Zero Tolerance 801 flipper.

My SAK Soldier is my favorite, as you can tell by what's left of the main blade it has seen its fair share of use. I will be retiring this one soon but have two more to take its place.

 

[shouldazagged]

I normally carry a Spyderco Endura and a Victorinox Super Tinker. But if I could only have one pocketknife (perish the thought!) it would be an older, U.S.-made Schrade Old Timer 8OT, the four-inch stockman. An alternate would be either the 77OT muskrat or a Cold Steel Country Classics four-inch stockman, made for Cold Steel by Camillus some years ago.

 

[Ham Slamma]

No pocket knife here,,,,Just a Leatherman tool.

Ive been carrying one for about 25 years. Couldn't go with out one!

 

[snubbyfan]

I've got 2 that I carry on a regular basis.
The upper one's a Smith & Wesson Cuttin' Horse. It's not assisted opening and I carry it when I need to go to Maryland.
Everywhere else, it's the lower one. It's a no name assisted opening knife I got at a Pawn Shop.

Favorite is a plain edge Spyderco Delica 4. Second favorite is a Spyderco Dragonfly.

Antique folders are things of the past. I never bought into the medal handled blades with belt clips, though I have to admit they are far more useful and handier. They just do not have any panache or character. I carry many antique bone handled folders. Lately I have been carrying a Case 2 bladed, bone handled, carbon steel bladed knife with double cut swedges and a long pull main blade. It was made between 1905 and 1920.

I consider all my pocket knives to be tools, but some of them could be considered "tactical" I suppose. Out of my modest collection I take along whatever strikes me for the day. In addition, I have a SAK Cadet, and a Leatherman Squirt on my key chain so I always have them. I just got a ZT0566, so that's what I had with me today.

 

[Old cop]

My favorite is the folder my wife got me as a gift 10 years ago, still carry it every day.

 

[Jaymo]

Stockman, whittler, Barlow, Scout/SAK.

These are the knives I carry/use most.

I've carried several "tactical" folders.
They are great for some uses, but nowhere near as versatile as the above mentioned designs.
One of my favorite "tactical" folders was a $10.00 S&W liner lock with a Tanto style, half serrated blade and a Carson style flipper.
I was somewhat saddened when I wore it out.
I may get another just because it's it's a great knife for the price.

At work, I carry a pocketknife, a Gerber Multi Plier, AND a HD Husky lockback folding utility knife that used disposable box cutter blades.

All three have their purposes.
The Multi Plier is just there for when I need pliers or screwdriver and I'm not near my service van.

I've had a Gerber Easy Out and a Bear MGC that I used at work, until I lost them.
I really miss those two.

I sometimes carry my Boker Magnum automatic with Tanto style blade.
That one is the handiest, since I only need one hand and no room to swing it to open the blade.
You should have seen the looks I got at the company Christmas luncheon when I opened that one to cut my food.

I carry my Multi Plier every time I ride my motorcycle because it's easier to use than the little pliers from the OEM Yamaha toolkit.
Of course, since I bought saddlebags for it today, I can carry a LOT of tools.
Not that I expect it to break down. Then again, I don't expect to need my SR9, either. I carry it, too.

I'd love to see a photo of it.

I don't have a photo handy, but my Graymam Dua is my current knife du jour.

 

[bgrafsr]

I recently bought a Case XX, two blade pen knife, Model BH208
SS.

 

[Bigdog357]

The Purple Camo Kershaw Boa is my favorite daily carry

 

[Gardner11]

Case Russlock introduced in 2000 I collect them.

 

[Marshwheeling]

My most favorite is a Benchmade Mini Barrage. I have two of them. Right up there would be a Griptilian and a Kershaw Leek. I will sometimes carry a SAK or a trapper or stockman. There is always a Leatherman Micra in my left pocket.

In my bus bag, I carry a well-used Mora 612. I'll also stick a Mora in a front pocket (in its sheath, of course) if I think I might have use for a fixed blade.

I'd love to see a photo of it.

My problem with photographs is, I am completely ignorant of these type of things. I operated million dollar machines but cant use my DVD player. My wife is an excellent photographer but she has found no simple way of posting. Taking a picture, cropping it, filing it in photobucket, then posting takes sometimes up to a half hour. We have poor internet service hear in the mountains. Our download speed at best is 3.7, and upload is 1.5 at its fastest. Now add to the mix, two young grandsons that are visiting "granny camp", and grandpa barely gets a goodnight kiss before grandma is asleep.

 

[Bastogne71]

My every day carry is a Microtech Mini UDT. The 2 1/8" blade is enough length for 99% of what I need a knife for and the small size disappears in my pocket until needed. I've got other bigger knives but they mostly stay at home
