GEC 34 BF knife I have been carrying all of two sweaty days with no hint of rust, just some pretty purple Latina when cutting an apple.
K390 Police LW that I patinaed the blade of. Love it .
The SAK is from "68-"70, has the baling lanyard and clip point short blade.

This BF GEC went from dull to hair shaving and paper cutting in a few swipes of the grey SM rods... This is REALLY sweet. Ease of sharpening unheard of and the easy shapes make it good on a mere acolyte such as myself. This is getting me into the traditionals more... I am bound to try a Buck 303 Stockman soon and I am just waiting to buy this certain "modern" slipjoint with old school inspiration.
...is this going to be a whole thing now with the trads? Maybe I will stop at one or two more optimal GEC in favoured handle material and shapes, the Buck, a few Euro knives I need, and keep my old school 1096 Imperial mini stockman, Rough Ryders, SAKs and this GEC and be satisfied....
Also the smooth G10 Yo2 in Cruwear, Spyderco Cricket for quick cuts from the 5th pocket, and above that, it is resting on an 81mm Cadet, I think the model is. I am not the biggest fan of 81s but will try a few more with optimal toolsets before ruling out as I prefer a 74mm when i want to go small and 91 when i want to have a "full" SAK.

Been toting the 34 BF GEC since I got it and I love it. Love it so much. My style. Switched it up from a Wharnie main blade to something with curves in this XHP Espada Large, not too big but not as bad as an XL.
Got my Cricket, probably most used of the bunch. Steel framelock and reverse S, it cuts fast and well from my fifth pocket.
Got my Moomin 84mm Cadet or Recruit there. Prefer 74mms but liking this okay.
I know it's overkill in theory but on my pocket protecter, if I carry this keychain I automatically add three knives to the list (good thing I did not add my Spyderco Bug and Opinel No. 2.) Which in addition to my keychain holds a Leatherman P4 Squirt, Boker USB and a G10 Vic Rambler as welk as a 4" curved Widgy prybar/scraper, has a reasonsble lil edge. Tiny and useful stuff.
Getting ridiculous... Seven knives here, nine blades... 11 if you include my Wave in the pouch in my bag! True knife nut lol
