I always have some sort of pocket knife on me that I carry daily, mostly a small Swiss Army and a Chris Reeve Large Sebenza. I carried a Benchmade for 12 years and finally retired it for the Chris Reeve, which is made in Boise, Idaho.

I carried a three blade Buck for years. My favorite. When I kicked my ex-wife out she took it along with a few other pocket knives I had laying around in sight. Luckly she didn't know where the main stash was.

Stupid woman. She even took my Frontline flea and tick drops for the dog. Funny thing was she didn't even have a dog. Made peace with her after that but didn't get knives back. She had given them away.

Women are strange. Used to hear from her every once in a while but she has gone dark and never hear from her anymore. When I did she was usually in a bind and would contact me for advice. She did give good rewards for helping her out.
Give me a new saw chain and I can find you a rock in a heartbeat.

Have carried the Swiss Army Victorinox Electricians knife for many years. Has four blades.. including a sheepsfoot, awl, and flat blade screwdriver with cap opener.

I carry a Gerber #500.

It has 1 heavy single 2½" blade.

It's pretty good and holds and edge as well as any!

When I was in Alaska, I gutted a Moose and 2 Caribou and a lot of Salmon with it.

I carried a Zippo knife from when my grandfather gave it to me at twelve, until I lost it when I was 22. That knife was never more than five feet away from me until the first time I had to go to jury duty. And I do mean 24/7/365, all through school, everywhere. I found the knife in a field three months later, and it has been safely stored ever since.

I'm carrying an Uncle Henry small Stockman right now...well for the last 14 years. The kids asked me that year what I wanted for Christmas, I got 2 of them so I have another brand new old stock Uncle Henry waiting for this one to wear out.  :D

Never explain, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you any way.

 I have a small Victorinox for the tweezers and the toothpick in my pocket, have a Wave or original or flair ....  I have many leathermens... wich ever is closest gets put on the belt and also have a Laguiole that I keep raser sharp that lives beside the leathermen.

The reason I went to the swiss+tech over my leatherman blast was that I have wore both the sheaths that go on my belt out to where I am afraid I will loose them.... the swiss+tech goes in my watch pocket in my jeans.  Banjo

Kershaw Zero Tolerance Speed Safe.  Made in the USA.  I switched to one handed knives a long time ago.  This one is the best opening knife I've ever had but I'm disappointed in the torsion spring.  It broke a couple of months ago.  Kershaw replaced the spring at no charge but one would expect a knife named Zero Tolerance not to break.

Think I'll make my own, than if it breaks I can blame myself.

I like that I can open or close both blades on my Wave single handed.

I love my Wave but I don't always wear it. I have a leatherman lockblade that goes everywhere with me. If I don't have it along it's because I forgot my pants.

I have a mini multi-tool from Cabela's that has a little LED flashlight !
Love the little light but usually need a bigger tool.

I carry a Leatherman Wingman with me everywhere except to bed, and then it's pretty darn close.

Been lugging a Leatherman for 15+ years.  Only had to buy the first one although I'm on my third or fourth.   Barely a day goes by that I don't use it.     Love the lifetime warranty.
