You know: I actually don't carry a pocket knife. Maybe I'm not a Galoot? If so, I have a lot of tools to sell.

Galoots, Rest easy "Knifeless Souls" I'm covering for you, I always carry at least two knives. Sometimes three. To give this some context the second and third are the little Swiss Army Classic model, only a bit larger than 2" overall. Always have one of those with me (usually in the watch pocket) and the other on my key ring when I'm away from home. The SAK Classic SD is actually a useful little tool with its scissors, nail file toothpick etc. My main carry varies, at home it's a SAK Farmer with its metal "Alox" scales. Just super galootish knife to have around my rural acreage with its blade, wood saw, awl and screwdrivers. Great saw for small branches, and it's flush cutting. When I go to town the I find Farmer a bit bulky with keys and change in my pockets so I carry a Fallkniven U2. Hiking in the mountains I carry a larger belt or folding knife for self defense and SAKs come along for utility. We were expected to have a knife at work and I carried an original style Leatherman multi-tool which has lots of good features but a rather poor knife blade. Some Galoots confess to a saw problem, I confess to having been a knife "aquirer", (a few Benchmades & Spydercos in the mix) but my heart still melts when I pick up my old single blade I*XL by George Wostenholm, Sheffield. Twice lost and then found, blade worn down from sharpening, broken spring replaced and re-scaled with ebony. Paid $5 new in 1970 and carried for nearly 20 years in my pocket. Now that's a knife!

Galoots, I used to carry a knife all the time when I was younger. Got my first knife from Grandpa when I was 7, carried that until I lost it, and carried a succession of twin blade folders through to the end of high school, and then began to leave the knives at home more and more often. Fast forward 25 years and I became a Scout leader, and started carrying a knife again. The one I drag around all the time now is a small single blade Zippo locking blade knife I picked up at a garage sale for a dollar. It was in a box with several very badly mangled $3 victorinox knives, but the Zippo was in excellent shape, and had the smaller price tag! In my drawer I have "a few" pocket knives, ranging from a big old Schrade to a pile of those "losable knives" from Lee Valley. Maybe carrying them is a deadly sin in the eyes of the law here, but lets just hope they never try to outlaw ownership of sharp stuff or we're all doomed. -- Darrell LaRue Oakville ON Wood Hoarder, Blade Sharpener, and Occasional Tool User |

I usually carry four little ones, two on the key ring, one in my pocket and one in my wallet. If I am hunting then two more in my coat. A lot of times I wear my neck knife and also carry a Benchmade AFCK or Cold Steel sliding tanto. When I visit family I take my kukri machete in case of disagreements. Actually it is because my dad usually has some yard work waiting for me. My house has various knives stashed all about in most rooms. At a pork expo once with friends in college a lady gave my roommate and me each a pencil. She said 'if you only knew someone who had a knife you could sharpen that' we both just laughed and thanked her. Bad Andy Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 19, 2014, at 4:54 PM, Darrell & Kathy |
