Pocket Knives - Do You Carry One?

[hollowdweller]

327. I love knives and have a collection.

All thru high school and college I carried a Buck 110. In the early 2000's the blade broke right at the tang. Buck will replace but I sent a note could they just replace the blade because it had sentimental value. I bought it with money from my first real summer job in HS and also cleaned out the first deer I ever got with it. They replaced the blade.

I carry this one a lot these days. It's actually a german switchblade camping knife. This is an old picture, the knife is a little worse for the wear these days because I use it a lot on the farm.



Here's another cool blade. A big Nepalese khukuri I own. I use it to chop trees up that fall. The thing is about a pound and a half and about 18" long. I think they use them to behead goats during the Dashain festival but I just use it for brush clearing:



Sort of historical combo. A reproduction of the knife used by NESSMUK in his book woodcraft and camping with curley maple handle with mosaic pins, and then a repro of Nessmuks "Double Bit Pocket Axe" with an Osage Orange handle made by OK blacksmith Lee Reeves. Both are great for camping and backpacking.




Here's another Nessmuk, this is more pimped out, with a stag handle and cable Damascus blade.
