What'll you be carryin?
On your belt, in your pocket, in your pack? I'll have a Cold Steel SRK on my belt, a Schrade Old Timer fixed blade w/ gut hook in my pack and a Leatherman Super Tool in my pack. I figure that about covers anything that may come up from field repairs to building a shelter to hand to paw combat with a mountain lion . Whatcha got?

Ernie Grospitch drop point on my belt, Case in my pocket.
No mountain lions around here, so the Bowie will stay home. |

I keep a Case "Peanut" model on me at all times (I'm a little boy at heart I guess) and will be using my Cabelas Guide series folder for my field dressing duties for another season. It's done me well the past few years.

I have a Spyderco, Delica, or a Superknife.
When I work security I have a Safe keeperIII, along with a ASP baton and "puppy pepper". I want to get a Surefire tactical flashlight, but I cant force myself to spend so much money for a flashlight. My leathermen is usualy in my truck when I need it the most . A Gerber multitool in my hunting pack, and a Buck Vanguard. We only have Bobcats, so I think carrying a trench wepon isnt needed here.

Usually carry a leatherman all the time. Not one with a lot of bell and whistles but with just enough stuff tok "get by" in a pinch.
For most of my hunting l use a small buck lite folder with about a 3" blade. Its about 15 years young now and is just enough to get any field work done. Unfortunally I cannot find this. Seems to hiding on me somewhere in this house so my backup is a Scharade Old Timer. I do have a tone of fixed blade knifes but they just don't make it out anymore. I'm checking out the SOG's to see if they might work. |

Got a kershaw spring assisted clipon that is always on my right pants pocket. Also used to cary a Buck "swiss army" style knife on my keychain but the chain it was hooked to broke and I have since misplace the knife.
I think my favorite folder is a SHARP brand folding lockblade that my cousing got me for Christmas one year many moons ago. It sharpens easy, stayed sharp and will shave the hairs off your but if you know how to use a sharpening steele. Also have a couple Franklin mint collectors knove and a whole drawer full that I rarely use. But the kershaw, the buck and the Sharp are my main go to knives |

So many choices.
I usually have a small BenchMade folder in my pocket. I carry my Swiss Army knife or a Leatherman on my belt. If I am out hunting, I usually have one of my Randalls, but I have a lot of other knives that I like to use also. One favorite is a old Clauss skinner, that was my Grand Dad's.

Hawkeye6,
My grandfather did some work as a electrical contractor in the Camillus knife factory many years ago. He got the blade there. When I was around 15yrs I found the blade at my famly hunting camp. My other grandfather has made many knifes, and we decided to finish making this knife. Ofcorse we can do alot better than simply leather wrap the handle. We used oak and walnut for the handle itself. The finger guard was cut from an old brass Chritsmass odimate, shaped as heart. I have an uncle that works in aluminum recycling. He first found a aluminum shaped eagal head from a cain. but he wanted it for a endcap for a crudy dive knife he was making . So he gave us a small aluminum block. We cut and shaped the block as the endcap. Geting the pin to go through the endcap and the end of the blade was the hardest part,. My grandfather and I then got some good leather for the sheath. He then showed me how to stich leather, also abit of a pain. As you can see "U.S. Camiluss" was stamped into the blade. So it is a Camillus. Just not "as issued"
