Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I wanted to get a new pocket knife. Mighty hard to get a"pocket knife" any more. You have to choose from tactical, special purpose, stylized, exotic material, multi-featured, bulky, "ergonomic" (from people who wouldn't recognize an ergonom if it jumped up bit them on the ass, and apparently have never even see a human hand), special design, touted by any number of famous and not so famous expert people an a cost that is more than I have paid got some cars and some guns that I own. I finally settled for a good old Schrade Walden that I found in a pawn shop. Three blades from 1 3/4"' to 3 1/2" made with good old fashioned carbon steel, with jigged bone scales. Just what a two-legged old dinosaur needed, and for only $4.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm a Swiss Army guy for everyday. Toothpick keeps me from going crazy when my crowns collect food. Yeah, I have lots of other knives, but rarely carry them. The corkscrew is handy if I am attacked by a wine bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I carry a Victorinox Tinker in my pocket. Pretty much like J-BAR's above, but with a Phillips instead of the corkscrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Howdy, A mini griptillian from Benchmade is a knife. A leatherman pst II is a multi tool. But you can compromise if you must. And a real knife is a puma white hunter...... Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
