Until recently, the only knife I carried every day for over 10 years, and I never felt I didn't have enough knife. Boker 8288SS Red Bone Pen. This one gets handed down.

Ten years-that's a well loved knife-pretty cool! Thank you for showing- I note you say " until recently..." Whats knife has swayed you so much that you felt the need to look at rotating your everyday carry?

Recently started carrying a Case Butter Bean I bought five or so years ago. I'll probably carry it every day for the next few years, if not longer.

Very nice knife leghog. Elegant and very handsome pocket knife without question.

I too tend to stick with the basics. Whether it's guns or pocket knives (or my pipes). I have just a few carefully chosen that I cherish and adore and they are my companions day in and day out.

What a beautiful little Boker!!!

I had a Boker 240 with rosewood scales I carried for a time. It's one of the few knives I regret letting go of when somebody admired it. Great little knife did everything I needed out of a pocket knife.

That is a nice tankard style pipe!:thumbup::thumbup:

Nice Boker, and that's a clean looking seamaster too!

Both beautiful knives. And that omega isn't bad either! I'm in the process of finding a vintage wrist watch for everyday wear, but haven't come across one in my price range, that keeps time, and that isn't so valuable as to be destroyed as a daily wearer.

Vintage Omega wristwatches were a passion, and I still have a couple of dozen. The market/prices have gotten stupid so many shysters hawking many frankenwatches. If you truly don't know the watches well, definitely know the seller.

Don't worry about destroying them. They were built to last. You'll just have to get any mechanical watch serviced (cleaned/lubed) every 7 years or so. Finding a COMPETENT watchmaker with fair prices will prove harder than finding a good affordable vintage wristwatch.

I'll get around to taking some more traditional knife/vintage wristwatch pictures.

I won't hijack your thread any more than I already have. You are dead on with knowing the watch or knowing the seller. So much to learn and I don't need another expensive hobby. Lol.
