I too still have knives from my childhood, Old Timer, Buck, Case, Swiss Army (actually have one of these in each car and has saved my butt in the past, the tools not the blade:)) My current fave, is BENCHMADE, a buddy got me into those about 10 years ago..

Funny, as much as I have always like sharp things, I have never really carried one, other than while hunting, or crewing races, the only other time is when I'm smoking cigars, I carry this nifty "lil" guy.

Most of the time, other than the SA in my Kits & and Old Timer I have had since 6 years old (found it) that is in my tool box, the rest stay nicely oiled and in a box stored..

Dammit. I used to own one of these; it had the name of the grocery store where I worked on the handle ("Buttreys" ) Lost it in a burglary.

Often called a "fruit testing knife" or a "melon knife".

Schrade makes one that is inexpensive, but comes with the standard yellow Schrade handles.

A stainless one can be had for a little more $.

somewhere laying around is my puerto penasco(rocky pt) messiko, messikan switch blade.

over the years of skinning ELK and DEER/JAVA-LEANERS(javelina) we have found the BEST way to SKIN a critter and not hassle with loosing an edge on nasty hides is throwaway BOX cutters.


the M-9 LAN-CAY holds a very nice edge for skinning ELK.

a few ontario knives laying around and a few schrade knives also.

Definitely due for a sharpening!

I have a drawer-full of 'folders', I pick one, carry it a week or two, then change - no real favorite.

Here are some larger ones I purchased at estate sales this summer:
