Bought a Swiss Army Cyber Tool back in 97. Still have all the original pieces to it. Its been very useful over the years and sits within arms reach at my desk to this day. Used it last night in fact.

No one else appreciates pocket knives?

[Kerranger]

I either carry a Gerber Gator or a Coleman fixed-blade knife, depending on what I am doing. The fixed-blade isn't exactly a pocket knife, but I carry it a lot anyway.

I used to always carry a Swiss Army Knife; they are such versatile tools. One day, I was at the Vatican at the checkpoint to enter St Peter's. The Swiss guards were doing a half-ass job of checking pockets, and I made the mistake of volunteering that I was carrying my knife. They looked at it and said "basket?" We were puzzled, and my travel companion spoke to them in Italian, to which they responded in English "basket" and pointed to the trash bin. Few things pissed her off more than Italian speakers ignoring her perfectly fluent Italian, but worse yet, the bastards showed no respect for their own damn country's name sake knife! No way was I throwing away my Swiss Army Knife at the behest of some wanna-be Swiss guard in a nancy-boy costume. Halberds be damned.

Now days I don't carry a pocket knife because you can't even get on a plane with one anymore. I got tired of throwing them away because I forgot they were in my pocket or brief case.

When I'm fishing I carry a fillet knife with a line cutter and fish hook sharpener, a fishing pliers tied with a bungie chord to its sheath and a long fish hook remover for muskie and northern pike. You do not want your hand in that mouth. The pliers has a nice jaw that can easily cut through hooks, which comes in handy more often than you'd think.

Yeah, the days of carrying mine daily are over. Lost one to the Lime Light club in NY. Actually mailed one back to myself from an airport. Had to put one back in my car before I could go into a DMV. Damn terrorists.

I thought they said recently that knives on planes are ok now?

Maybe, but last time I went to my local court house straight from work they would not let me in with a wine key.

Baby Kershaw. My favorite vanity knife. It's little and girly looking but has been deployed to The Phillipines, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. Some other places too. :) I suck at taking pictures but that's a pearled red baby boa. Engraved Feb 07. Got it for the Phillipines.

My mom brought this back for me from the Chamonix ski resort in France on her last ski trip. It's a neat little blade. Cost like a buck fity.

[SonoftheNorth]

they have s30v kershaw blur's on amazon for $58 bucks right now. awesome knife and normally like 120 bucks

[Menos]

That's a lot of sogs and kershaws. I had a zing for a whole day, but it fell out of my pocket and I never got a new one. I generally carry either one or two cold steel recon I's. I have an older model with the tri-lock copy and a newer lock back version. Both are drop points, only because they were on sale and I could not find the spearpoints as cheap. The number with me depends on what guns if any I am lugging about (as they may take up pocket space). I also carry a swisstool spirit.

Nah man. To scrape the resin out of my pipe cause I'm outta weed.

But seriously I had to open something so I used the short blade to cut the plastic off.

[cwolff]

The only knife you will ever need and only $16.00. I keep mine in my car or on me when camping.


Made by Green River since the early 1800's this is the one knife we've found that is straight-bladed (can be used as a drill and punch). thin-bladed (cuts easily without wedging; ex: Crisp vegetables such as carrots don't pop across the room when sliced), non-stainless (no-glare, sharpens easily), and affordable.

Beech wood handle, 4" blade, $16

I own no 'fancy' pocket knives (I have some, cause I'm a cowgirl, yolo), but THIS. How many random scraping devices have I ruined over time??? Nasty gunky shit. Tastes so gooooood.

No one warned me about this.Duh, you get them custom knives and then they can feed themselves. Call them Beater and Biter at first so they're not distracted by Sindarin pronunciation while taking down a grizzly.

No idea what "brand" it is.. I just like it because it is spring assisted and has a seatbelt cutter and window breaker on it.

[Latrinsorm]

As someone who very easily disengaged himself from a seat belt in an upside-down car, I think the seatbelt-cutting thing is a little overrated.

I actually like most knives better without the clip.

[Taernath]

It's too flashy :(

[Parkbandit]

I use it to scare crows off my lawn.

I bought it because:

-It was on sale for $20, regularly $50.
-I like the spring assisted blade
-It fits well in my hand
-It's not too big where it weighs me down.

[Latrinsorm]

I don't know what Florida laws are like (besides letting white people murder black people?!?!) but some places are very touchy about spring-assisted blades. Be careful traveling with it.

[leifastagsweed]

Ok, so I am less confused now since I've seen Tenlaar's post. We are showing off our REAL blades, yes?

Don't laugh, but I generally just rip twine with a shedder comb, which always seems to be more plentiful around my barn than cutting implements. Not just cowgirl...straight up redneck.

Next week, I get my new AQHA pocket knife in the mail with my renewal subscription, though, and I'm so 'cited! I will post when it comes in! Yay for freebies!

p.s. - bummed no one drooled and/or razzed me over the cheap, replica double-headed axe - boo!

Not laughing at you, definatly laughing with you. I've been in that position many a time. I don't know about you, but when the twine was just to damned tight to slide off of a corner and I had to improvise with the shedder curry, I always wondered if gnawing through the twine would be faster than sawing away at it with the shedder.

And that's not redneck, that's 1) Lazy/unprepared and 2) Creative improvisation.

Case in point.

I used to clean the water troughs with dirt (aka as FL sand) and handfuls of dried grass. 1) I was to absentminded to remember to bring a scrub brush with me and to lazy to walk back for one so I 2) improvised with the tools that I had around me. The interesting thing I discovered was that the abrasive nature of the sand was by far the best medium for a cleaning agent and got supremely better results than just a scrub brush.

Not Redneck at all. Creative and turns out, dern smert!

Unfortunately, the silty clay here just won't cut the mustard like good ole abrasive FL sand. Since the barn is much father than I wish to walk these days, I've resorted to leaving a scrub brush by the trough. Heh. Guess I still have a lazy streak. :-P


P.S. Cheezy, cheap replica or not, that axe would leave a nice goose-egg on someones noodle for sure.

As for other likes in this thread, I liked RojoDiscos twine cutter aka Baby Kershaw on the rose paterned, lacy cloth. Sexy

The simplistic and artistic nature of SonoftheNorths blade. Extra props for his choice in the use of the moss. Earthy

And that thing that Tenlaar posted ..... not the most practical, but definately wicked cool. I'd find myself twitching for my wallet if I saw that. Just think, you could be super lazy about sharpening the blade, just move on to the next one! :grin:

Oh the stories I could share back with you! My favorite being the day I used my Prius to herd a neighbor's 2000 lb longhorn steer back into it's pen that was charging up and down my country road. Fits your redneck/improvisation model to a T. ;)

I LOVE this knife. The only negatives I have of it are:

1) A little heavier than my older knife... but I'm getting used to it banging against my leg.
2) It had a belt clip on it.. so I removed it.

Texas Cadillac? To funny.

Looks like we have more in common than just mangling hay string with curry combs. I'm going to utilize your mothers 'Texas Cadillac' reference to the Dodge RAM 2500 w/Extended Cab. I call mine Bertha. She's a little aged, but has a strong Cummins for a heart.

As for the Prius, I refer to them as 'Scootabouts'. Mine have always been riceburners. Both my Toyota and Honda were at 230k miles, and still running very well, when I left them behind. I'm currently kicking the tires on a Yota as I am sans a Scootabout at the moment.

Parking a Texas Cadillac in town is always an adventure!

Did somone mention Riddick? :-)

Back to knives, I very recently saw a recall on foldable pocket knives. There was no lock feature to them. Yowtch! Nice way to hurt some fingers.

LOL, I call my Prius the Space Pod and my old Dodge Durango's name was Bertha! Some parallel shit right there. The big silver RAM is too fucking bad ass and awesome for a Part II anything, plus she's sexy and sleek and gets the job done in ways Bertha couldn't ever do. Nawp, this girl's name is Leifa. :smug_b:

Got my new freebie knife. Going right in Leifa's console. Thanks, AQHA!

Once upon a time I worked in the marketing department of an A/C distributorship. They ordered some promo knives from SOG for our clients and in appreciation, whatever SOG distributor sent along an extra SOG knife that "inadvertently" found its way in to my pocket, which is the silver one pictured. I definitely don't carry it on a daily basis though, but have always taken it, along with the other two shown, when I go camping, etc.
