Favorite blade/pocket knife/multi-tool? What do you carry?

[Backroad Angler]

I carry a Kershaw clash, not a bad little pocket knife.

but I carry the small Victorinox Swiss Army knife. It's the one with a blade, file, scissors, toothpick and tweezers. I don't like to carry much of anything in my pockets.

This is me too. I have to remember to remove it when I enter a federal building, courthouse, or go to the airport. No weapons permitted there.

 

Keep a leather man type multi tool in both the truck and wife’s SUV.

I carry a Case medium size Stockman with three blades. Have several others like that I have used over the years. Several are Buck knives and some Hen and Rooster. I have a Leatherman I keep in the boat but I very rarely use it.

[GreenPig]

Daily carry this Kershaw. I carried a Leatherman everyday I worked on planes.

I've been collecting and using knives since I was 10 years old. I don't have a huge collection, I go through spells where I'll sell some off and get others.

 

I carry a Leatherman original PST daily. I use it during fishing almost every time out. I also have a spare, as I can't be without my Leatherman Tool.

 

I also carry one of several traditional knives. I prefer to use a knife to change lures as to a line snipper, as it is aw ay to combine two of my loves, knives and fishing. (The other two are Jesus and guns.)

 

I use this Case 6.5375 Jumbo Stockman a lot.

 

Most of the time I carry the 6265 Folding Hunter as my belt knife.

 

Once in a while I switch it up and carry the Buck 192 Vanguard, which is my favorite fixed blade.

 

Got to cut out a nice backlash with my LT Wright Camp Muk the other day.

I edc a Benchmade Griptilian and a Leatherman Rev. I also have a Benchmade Bugout but find the Griptilian better in the hands which gets used everyday.

$30 Gerber at work.

Buck 110 Hunter fishing and outdoor stuff

and someone recently gave me one of these and I tell you what, the quality is outstanding and very lightweight. So far I have only used it to separate the plastic dividers in my 3700 boxes and it has exceeded my expectations

 Guys, my "irreplaceable" knife is a bone handled Case large stockman that my son bought me as a Christmas gift when he turned 16 and got his first job. I was thinking safe queen, but he made me carry it. He's 22 now and that knife has been carried probably more than any other. The CV blades are dark and pitted because of sweat and use and the white bone has turned yellow/tan. I wish I had oiled it a little bit more, but the blades have never needed to be sharpened. It's a great steel.

Hope you enjoy the #6. You may already know it's the smallest 'lockable' opinel.  Locking meaning you can slide the rotating ring to Lock the blade open when in use ... Or closed, such as when it's in your pocket. A necessary feature... To me.

 

 I've never used the lock either way on mine. The humidity down here in GA is so bad that the wood swells and it would be impossible for the knife to open on it's own. On really bad days, I have to use the "rap the bottom on something hard" trick to get the blade to open normally. 😉

 When I carry a Leatherman Wave w/ bit set in a pocket, along with the Old Timer, I can handle just about any emergency that comes up- even cutting an apple...  

 

 Just curious what others carry (if you do). 

i like the skeletool....  i don't carry it, but i keep it handy. it's so comfortable, and has a 'minimal' set of tools...  i like having a comfortable plier, which the skeletool definitely has. the handle in plier mode is more comfortable than the original leatherman pliers.

when those leathermen first came out, i thought it would never last, lol........ doh!!! one of my many homer simpson moments.

I have a Buck Ranger that was a gift from my brother in law, and a Buck 110 that was my dads.  My everyday knife that I use for everything is a Master.

[Rockhopper]

Older thread, but man I have a crazy amount of knives.  I don't have a "daily" as I rotate them often.  Benchmade 945 is currently in my pocket.  I am a collector, and the knives I purchase are always with resale in mind.  I don't think I own a knife that is under $200.  I buy a lot of custom knives from makers that I have befriended over the years.  Have several Matt Helm blades.  Quite a few Benchmade knives.  Ryan W., Ben Tendick, Dauntless to name a few. You can keep your Spyderco's. 😄

[DaubsNU1]

Just this...

Chris Reeve Sebenza 21. Every single day for many years. That's about it.

They make really nice knives. The cost has always inhibited me from buying one though.

[GRiver]

I carry a Leatherman Skeletool, one of the most handiest knife I’ve ever carried.

[scaleface]

I've been carrying since grade school. Had lots of stockmans that cleaned a lot of rabbits, lost them often . Now I carry a Swiss Army knife in my left pocket and a   Swiss Tech one hand knife in my right pocket  . This Swiss Tech Wurdig is 30 dollars ,  a great  user  and fishing knife.. I bought a second one just in case I lose it and  are no they  longer available.

[Motoboss]

One of these everyday;

Benchmade Auto Immunity 

Gerber Armbar

Swiss Army Knife Compact

[FishTax]

I keep a Gerber dime on my keys. Inexpensive and has held up well. Every time I find a good sale I get another in case I lose it in security somewhere. I use this tool almost daily for something it seems, love the bottle opener and package opener specifically in such a small tool.
