Whatchoo Carrying?

[BarryBobPosthole]

Pocket knife, that is.

I bought a bunch of knives from Jim a few years ago and in the pile was one that I've become uncomfortably attached to. If it isn't in my pocket I don't feel right. Its a dandy too, a Puma Bantam two blade. That knife alone made the purchase feel like stealing.

He made up for that sale on Oyster knives to me and Arty... ;)
Oh, and I normally carry a small 2 blade Trapper. Usually Case.
But I literally have hundreds of pocketknives. And that reminds me I NEED to sell a bunch of those...
Lots of collector case knifes if anyone is needing any

[BarryBobPosthole]

They make one called a Whittler. You got any of those?

BkB

[Captain]

I'm sure I do. You looking for a 2 or 3 blade whittler. Bone handle???

I'm a man of fairly utilitarian needs. I typically carry this little buck knife during the work week and a Gerner clip on during the weekend.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170420/7f2c8c4185315bd2d70c7cdf01952c14.jpg

I have a buck scout model I got as a gift 25 years ago and recently broke the tip off the blade. Anyone have experience sending them in for repair? It has tremendous sentimental value and is also a bad ass knife that's dressed more than a few deer.

[BarryBobPosthole]

I've never sent one in personally, but aren't Buck knives guaranteed for life?

I carry a four dollar Imperial made of the highest quality.... metal. At least I think it's metal.

I have a Gerber with a gut hook for serious varmint skinning and a dressy looking Case knife for church and weddings and such

You're not the only person I know that has a 'dress knife'. My step-Dad carries an old Barlow when he's out working around the place. When he's dressed up for work or church he has a nice liitle two blade 'dress knife'.

That's okay, I have 'dress' ball caps. For funerals and such.

Dang, I didn't realize that one was in the pile and I obviously undercharged you! :crybaby

YOU OWE ME A DOLLAR!

YOU OWE ME A DOLLAR!

Good luck with that!

[Bwana]

Len,
My dad had a pocket knife that the tip broke off of too and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he now has a fairly effective screwdriver.

[Big Muddy]

I've owned several brands of pocket-knives, thru the years, but this little Buck is perfect for my everyday use....liked it so well, that I purchased another one, just a few days later.

My requirements for an everyday pocket-knife are:

1) a 2"-3" blade
2) a thumb stud
3) push-type lock-back
4) easy to locate, preferably, day-glo orange.....I've never understood why people want a dang camo knife, that's hard to find.

Larke I have lost as many pocket knives as I've bought. Haven't carried one in several years. Pick me out a goodun' and send me a bill.
As long as payment isn't due in oyster knives.

Lol.
What do you like? 2 blade, 3 blade? Something like a stockman, or a trapper?

[Arty]

2 blade. They tend to thinner for the most part. I like stockman the best.

Good luck with that!
yep. Get in line.

Wait! I wanna be tactical like trav! That thing is badass!

[Captain]

Arty, I have some very good 3 blade Smith and Wesson Stockmans that are small and good quality. They were made by Vermont Knife company for Smith in the mid 80's. I've had them a longtime. Smith tactical knifes are now made in China and are low quality if you ask me.
The knifes I have as small 3 blade stockmans with 440C steel, the same steel Benchmade and Spyderco use. Don't compare them with the stuff being turned out today with the Smith brand.
I found a picture of them on the net...

Larke you might as well just send Arty a bill and chunk the knife in the river somewhere. Be the same difference

[Captain]

A lot of truth to that...

Cappy you have Case Canoe's you are willing to part with?

[Captain]

I've had a bunch of the canoes over the years. I'm still in SC and will check to see if I have left when I get home.

[Captain]

Arty I THINK I have your correct address but text it to me just to make sure.

[Trav]

Wait! I wanna be tactical like trav! That thing is badass! it has no real practical purpose but it is cool

[Captain]

No Canoes Trav in this roll. I'll check the others when I locate them.
Some VERY nice collector case and Parker stuff.

Clearly you need a few more pocket knives.

gots to have a SD badge to get an invite to the secret conclave Airbud. Us peons don't get to hobnob with royalty. Although a bribe of brown likker might get you a backstage pass

[jb]

I don't carry one in my pocket, but I have had one on my key ring for many years.
Little single blade Browning, has cut envelopes to anchor ropes. Would be lost w/o it.

Hey Bubba, when I look at the pic, all I see is an OLD guy who actually had a serial number! ;)

[jb]

54 years later I can rattle that number off as easy as my phone number.
That's also how long that's been on my key chains :clap

[Thumper]

Yep, I'm a youngin' and got mine right after they dropped service numbers and started using Social Security numbers. I guess identity theft was pretty much unheard of back then. What surprises me is, they just recently stopped using SSN's on dog tags. Not sure when, within the last 10 years I think. So there are a bazillion or so dog tags floating around with full name, full SSN, blood type & religion. That should be easy work for identity theft. My brother was a "Coastie" and still had a service number when he got out in '74. Here's a chart showing when each branch switched from service numbers to SSN. (just some useless information in case anyone gives a flip) ;)

Army and Air Force - July 1, 1969
Navy and Marine Corps - January 1, 1972
Coast Guard - October 1, 1974
