Just to keep it 'vintage-y' I've also got these laying around: :)

Opinel

Miss sofia said:
I always have a little Opinel on me, i'd be lost without it.

I carry 2 Opinels, a #6 in my pocket and a #8 in my 'man bag'. French made design thats been around for along time, simple, has a carbon blade that can be sharpened to shave with and best of all, cheap to buy (+/-$10)

Locking the blade is a simple ring that turns

Both of these blades are new, the top one I forced the patina to give it a bit of an aged look since it will look like that over time anyways.
You can get them in stainless but I prefer the classic carbon blades

I'll get up pics of mine when I finish it, but I have a custom hand-forged "adventure knife" modeled somewhat in style to this

but without the dramatic drop point. I'm still working on the handle, but when it's done I'll post pics...

I also have a Turkish dagger sort of like this

I'll try and get a good pic of ALL my collection soon...

Some of my favorites (from botton to top, also some great purple/pink vintage Manufrance shotgun shells)

Special presentation grade Opinel with mirror finish and horn handel.

My everyday carry, a Lagouile with handy corkscrew.

My newest edition and one I have wanted for a long time a vintage Hirschflanger hunting dagger. Looking forward to wearing it proudly next time I am on a driven boar and stag hunt!

I haven't heard of Opinel before now, but for the price I just ordered a #6 carbon steel. Those look completely cool, and I am partial to carbon steel from using/owning straight razors.

Years ago I read an article where the author said that he loved carrying pocket knives and carried one for each day of the week. Needless to say I liked that idea and that's the way I carry pocket knives to this day. As I find something new, knives are rotated out, but here is my current lineup

From top left:
Mon: Puma Gent model w/ stag grips
Tue: Fury Little Mustang - cheap, but very sharp! And it fits my hand nicely
Wed: Gerber w/ stag grips and engraved bolsters
Thur: Kershaw Chive
Fri: CRKT Rollick
Weekend: Remington R-5 w/ wood grips (I've carried one of these for over twenty years. It used to be my only pocket knife)

The one on the bottom is a Browning w/ Mother of Pearl and engraved blade and it's my fancy/Sunday go to meetin' knife

And there you have it. The sweet thing about a collection like this is that it's not too expensive to get started and you can change according to your taste and financial circumstances later on... have fun!
