Do you carry a pocket knife?

Not sure how much interest this will generate. I was eyeing a Case Trapper pocket knive at Bass Pro recently, and while giving thought to returning for one I remembered that my dad used to carry the same knife and figured it was probably buried in a box somewhere. Found it this morning. God is good! It’s the one on the bottom right. Is that bone or stag?
The top right green case is my “dress knife”. A customized piece I picked up at the blade show 5 years ago. It travels in a pair of slacks or a suit. The bottom left is a Spydeco I bought 20 years ago. I thought it lost for about 3 years until I found it slid down in the battery compartment of my 1985 K5 Blazer from the last time I had replaced the batteries (civillian diesel model, all power with A/C). It has been my regular carry again but the newly rediscovered trapper will start stealing away a good share of it’s “carries”.
The top yellow is another of my dad’s and the smaller xx is one of my grandfather’s. I sometimes slip one in my jeans pocket when Im feeling nostalgic.

man, what a collection. Nice. I have only the knives in my kitchen drawer lol
Good collection, but I need one with a cork screw and bottle opener.😆
I've carried one of the larger Swiss Army knives for 30 years , first present my wife ever got me when we starting dating , I'm on the 3 one (same model) as one is at the bottom of the Hootch , another in the jungles of Costa Rica. Use it for something every day . And yes I have the cork screw and bottle opener on mine.
keys, phone, knife, wallet, and gun all picked up off the night stand before walking out. Feel naked without a knife. I use them for everything from opening mail to fixing a screw. Honestly, I probably use my knife daily.
Love the collection Bankwalker bro. I hope to get some of my dad’s case knifes. I had a spyderco for a few years until someone else decided they needed it when it came off my pocket at a nursery picking up plants.
Here are are a few of my favorites
The top Texas toothpick got not to long ago. Took about a year for it to be made. I bought two things for my son when he was born. Correction, the knife showed up after his birth. His name is Colt and I bought him a colt single action .22 manufactured in the 60’s and had this knife made for him. When he gets bigger and is old enough to shoot, we will get him a gun belt and holster made from El Paso leather for his cowboy rig
the middle is just a do all knife. Love it and carry sometimes.
The bottom Tom is my benchmade I’ve had for many years and is usually my daily carry. Nothing fancy but it works.
Not sure why my pictures got messed up. Uploaded the wrong one and couldn’t delete
I used to, but I lost it somewhere. I’m a banker, so I don’t get as much daily use out of it as maybe others might. I liked having a pocketknife, I just haven’t replaced it yet. Once, I used it to cut a stray piece of thread off my tie. The coworker I was with says “You have a KNIFE?!?!” like I’d pulled out a K-Bar or something. I gave him a look that essentially encouraged him to rejoin his gender.
I’ve been toting a pocket knife since third grade. Have always kept it in the watch pocket of my Levi’s. If I don’t have my pocket knife on me, I feel naked. The one I have now is a Case like the one on the top right but in bone.
Thanks bankwalker ! Yes my dad always carried a pocket knife - case brand and I did too starting about 3rd grade like someone else did. And my dad gave me a small ****? case as a “ suit knife when I married ..... somewhere I gave up , always have chap stick in one pocket and both would be too much , enjoyed this thread
Btw bankwalker - non of those knife blades look used in anyway..... mine and my dads always were worn down from sharping on the stone
I carry a black Swiss army pocket knife. My last one got took by a security guard at a concert. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done. I find myself using the toothpick the most
Collecting pocket knives has been a hobby of mine for a couple of decades. My tastes changed from traditional Case XX to production tactical knives, to custom tactical knives, and then back to traditional slip joints. The last few years my collection has shrunk to a few customs from my favorite maker. Yes I do carry and use one of these knives daily. Thank you Bankwalker for posting the thread.
I carry a pocket Machete.
That sounds dangerously painful.
I carry a cheap Kershaw Cryo II
That’s what she said
