Great Classic Pocket Knives

[Lamplight]

I carry an early '90s Buck Creek and it's a fine knife for warehouse work. I have a few traditional pocket knives, all German, but none are terribly old. The oldest are a '70s Boker and a '70s Kissing Crane. The quality of those two is noticeably better than the others.

Laguiole is also my favourit pocketknife.
I buy one everytime I am in France. More or less. Just can't help it...

Some really neat pocket knives have been posted. My three blade Uncle Henry is always in my pocket, can't beat a classic.

Buck 703

I have carried this one for 20+ years. I find the key to keeping a good sharp knife is when I am asked "do you have a knife". I always respond "depends on what your cutting".

That is exactly what I say.I have always had a razor sharp knife in my pocket.

Hard to go wrong with an Opinel, especially for the price

For something more upscale, I use a Laguiole.

I usually have a Buck 110 or a 112 in my pocket or on my belt.
I have a Boker that I carry sometimes and its a great utility knife.

Well, pocket knives. I have a few, and here is a small sampling. Several Uncle Henry's (American made, I bought out a case that a dealer had and he was going to quit selling them). And lots of Case Knives, one of my old friends owned a hardware store and he needed to sell so many knives a year to keep his display(or something like that), so he sold me my knives at cost, and I bought one or two every payday. I have several drawers full too.

One in her was my Grandfathers, a Roberson. Well sharpened over the years.

Grandfather's knife

This was the Roberson that my Grandfather "loaned" to my Dad and then he loaned to me. (Bad luck to give away a knife). This is an old Roberson. Sharpened many times, the bone handles about worn out.

For something more upscale, I use a Laguiole.

I normally prefer multi-blade knives, but this one is simply beautiful. The blade is stunning.

A few knife buffs here

I've got one or two!

I usually carry the Spyderco Delica at the top left, and the small spyderco is always on my keychain. Sometimes I carry a different one just for a change.

I've always wanted one of those laguioles!

 

[KeyGrip]

Mmmmm, Meerkat.

I have a few old knives somewhere, the usual - a Swiss Army knife I bought on holiday there back in the early 90s, an Opinel I bought on a Scout camp in Brittany in '88, that sort of thing. A number of years ago, I used to carry a German knife I have -the green-plastic handled, standard issue model. Great knife, cheap and easily replaced (or at least they were - don't know the issues now). Back in the early 90s, my student Saturday job was in a hardware store. They had a small supply of bone-handled, vintage style pocket knives which I believe were Barbour branded. I always wanted one, but back then GBP12 seemed like a lot of money to spend on it, and somehow it never quite happened. I regret that now, as even then they were no longer widely available, and I think that would be the ideal for me to carry around.

I love BT's knife above, but I highly doubt that would be something I could carry here in the UK!

Here's my daily carry. It's in my pocket now:
