Everyday Carry Knife, What do you carry?


Kern
Today it may not be a very stylish or an elegant trend, but when is   it that you need a knife?

Always… there is always a need or a use for one. Opening a package, as a screwdriver, a paint scraper, always perfect to cut up an apple or some fruit. A great substitute when you forget a fork.
Throughout a day there is always a moment when I think, “Where is my pocket knife?”
So much so that I decided to go searching…. EBay first, …wow!

SOG 15 Tool Assist
French style knives, skinny little designs, NATO designs, old designs from the French Legion. Swiss army, Smith and Wesson, Kershaw Whirlwind. Benchmade, Laguiole, Case Trapper, A SOG PowerAssist. Honestly! Some are really obnoxious! They are so big or have so many attachments that they become just too heavy…lol

Made of titanium, aluminum, mother of pearl, bone, simple woods and exotic woods and many other materials. Not to mention the blade! Regular steel, surgical steel, titanium

With clips and without, with spring and without. Great for cigars and sometimes with a tamper to be used for a pipe or to cut plug style tobacco. Some are well beyond a simple pocket knife and become a major tool…lol carrying pliers, different size knives, screw-drivers, etc…

The quality of the blade seems to matter most of the time, but some times it’s the size…
Skinning a rabbit anyone…?

Weird or not, If I don’t have a pocket-knife with me I always feel I’m missing something.

81/4" Laguiole folding knife

Cut it smooth…
