Pocket Knife

One of my favorite "real" small pocket knives. The sharp Worldwide 2.0. A tank of a slipjoint.

Always close it with respect, otherwise... ;)

i’ve gone through a lot of newer style/material knives in the last 25 years. I just happened to walk into an old time general store and they had a Buck display. The classic lock backs remind me of my dad going to work in the 70s and 80s. I bought the 112 on the dpot. I was not in the market.

I've had my eye on the lower price version with the plastic handles, pocket clip, and thumb stud. I'm having a hard time deciding if I should buy it, or a similar Victorinox. Of course, I don't "need" either of them. I can probably live the rest of my life without buying another knife.

I really do not need another Victorinox, since I already have an older version. Mine didn't come with a pocket clip. And it's an older version which had a serrated blade. Odd design where the front 2/3 of the blade is serrated to the tip, with a single bevel straight edge on the back 1/3. Single beveled on the right side like a Japanese sushi knife. I don't carry it much because it didn't come with a pocket clip or sheath. It's literally a pocket knife. Original equipment toothpick and tweezer are still intact.​

Some of my pants have a little pocket on the leg, along the side seam. That's where I carry my MoraKniv. Pants in The USA don't come with that little button for knife holsters, like the pants in Sweden. Mora is still the best "bang for the buck". The best blade that you can buy, for the least amount of money. One of my favorite knives. Here I am, ready for another dishwashing shift at #PandaExpress .​

My old camp knife. Primarily used for processing game. Just slightly larger than the Buck folding knife. A thinner blade, and a little bit of a belly. Razor sharp, takes and holds an edge, and perfect for a night out on the town. I've brought this to restaurants for prime rib and steaks. It was perfect for wild boar, deer, elk, etc cetera. Good for skinning, field dressing, quartering........ Just the right size and shape. The wood handle provides a good grip that doesn't slip.​
