I have carried a knife all my life. As a boy I always carried a knife to school and yes, we traded, even with teacher's right in the hall and classroom.
As a boy most of my knives were Colonial, or Camillus. In high school it was Case or Boker. Never a Queen, the were stainless steel and no man or boy every carried a Queen.
I have carried, Fightin' Rooster, Hen & Rooster, Schrade, Boker, many German made brands. Even knives made for me by Adrian Harris when he made the Colonel Coons.
But today I am 68 years old and yes throw me off this forum...the best knife I have ever carried and I have put it out of my pocket several times and replaced it with Hen & Rooster, Case, and others but I always go back to it. It's..it's got a thumbs down here many times Oh! I might as well say it and you all will get mad at me. My favorite and EDC is a RR

Sunday we went on a trip to an island in the fjord just to enjoy the Spring and and make dinner outdoors.
What pocket knife to carry..?
Turkey Creek Tom's post actually inspired me to bring a Rough Rider. I haven't carried one for a while.
I ended up bringing a medium sized Stockman with brown sawcut bone handles and fluted nickel silver bolsters.
A high value collector's item? No.
Some specially formulated state of the art super steel? No.
Just a decent, easily replaceable user at a fair price. I don't remember how much I gave for it, but it was less than $15.
It's nice. I like it.

And we had a great day!

My friend you got a deal on your knife compared to what those fake Tested XX knives sold for. I know it would be twisting your arm a bit, but you would take half of that $500 sale price that those fake Tested XX knives sold for on Fleece-Bay for your knife, wouldn't you?
