All About Pocket Knives

tank wrote:Nice ones fellas.Jerry are you edc'ing any of them?

Nope. Normally I carry a Schrade 863 but lately I've had a Boker Plus Fiskmuk in my pocket. It's a bomb from rangerbluedog and I'm seeing what it's all about. I'm not much on swappin' my EDC around. I usually stick one in my pocket and there it stays.

thought some here might like to see this....or want it....not my knife....just thought COOL

Great knives guys! Jerry that camper is nice, and so is that executive. That executive is hands down one of my favorite knives.

I'm I like that farmer!

My spyde senses tell me there's a new farmer for father's day headed my way!

How about an Apocalypse Farmer,Colonel?

Ooooo, that's nice, real nice. I like it!

I got my present early! It's here. I got a farmer! Woo hoo. It's a plain old standard one, but that's cool cause I'm going to use it.

That's great! It's the best toolset I think.

I agree Tank
That is an awesome set.

I hope to find one like that.

Got this Victorinox One Hand Trekker the other day and I am really impressed with it. Generally speaking I don't care for serrated blades but may have to overlook that on this one. The combination of tools is nice and it's fairly lightweight. Might make a great knife to throw in the pack as a back-up/utility piece. The one handed opening works well and it's just kind of an interesting knife overall.

trev......nice score,BRO!

throw it in a pack like ya say or a bug out bag in the pickup.....you wont regret it!!!!
HANDY DANDY UNIT............mine gets used for the saw and phillips in a pinch every so often

and i dig it's OD GREEN,too.....

For any that might be interested, lately, there has been a good number of genuine Swiss Army issued knives dating from WWII into the 1950's & 60's showing up on Ebay and listed fro Switzerland.

Some have been in fantastic condition.

I guess you'd just have to search Ebay until they pop up.

Usually, if there's one, there's like a half dozen or so.

They might be Elsener, Wenger or Victorinox.

My new Deluxe Tinker! ftd

I have to stay away from these SAKs because the damn things are like potato chips. Get one and you want more. That Tinker with the pliers sure get's my juices running.

Just read this SAK thread from the first to the last. Loved it. Junebug, thanks for all the info, you seem very knowledgeable on these great liitle knives.

Here's one fer ya JB!

Cuz, I have one that I traded Junebug out of. It's the handiest darn thing ever you did see. It's ine if my favorites.

Although I am not a particular fan of SAK´s (they feel so cheap to me with those plastic handles ) I always had them around. To be honest, they are hard to beat in an urban envirement where there is simply no real use for a hunting knife or such.
Ok, I was bidding for a Case Sparky and won it together with two other knives. One of them was a SAK and I didn´t mind for another one of them to throw into the car or the knife drawer. When it arrived today it had some scratches on it´s handles but the blades were never sharpened - in fact they looked like new! It even had an original nylon holster coming with it.

Once again will power has failed me. I acquired a Victorinox Alox Electricians knife last week. Pretty neat knife. The thing that amazed me is the screwdriver/cap lifter blade has half stops.

Nice pick up Jerry, I like the looks of that little sheepsfoot blade. Bet it would be perfect for breaking down boxes and such.

Picked up this little green alox cadet recently. I haven't bought a Vic in years, but have been admiring these colored Alox handles...wanted to check one out. Really nice little knife, and super slim as well. Makes a great secondary knife to carry along with the normal edc blade. It is bothering me though having that key ring attachment dangling off the end...so I went ahead and ordered a small matching paracord lanyard to put on there. Should also give it a little more pocket presence, as it is so slim and light I keep forgetting it is there.
I do like that green alox though....

I've never carried one so I can't speak to their performance but I like the looks of them, the feel of them and I like the colored Alox. I think you made a good choice Mike.
