Today I was getting ready to run out with the wife in order to get some weekend chores done. I was mulling over which knife to grab for weekend carry and the thought that stayed with me awhile was that I don't recall the last time I wanted to carry a clipped knife out.

This small collection of traditionals have been my everyday pocket carry for quite a long period at least a year and a half in some cases like with the mini trapper. But once that urge to carry traditionals took over, I feel that there is no going back from it.

I'm enjoying AND preferring the materials, razor sharpness and design of traditionals for edc carry over moderns.

Just another movement through the knife journey and getting a little closer with the simpler aspects and joys of life! It's easy to run around and make one's life complex, often times more complex than things need to be, only to find true happiness back at square one where it was sitting and waiting for you all along!

True happiness is not found in ecstatic frenzy but in the embrace of quotidian life.

You last passage and introspection made be think about the above. Great group of lovelies:D
 
I like this meditation on knives and life. Thank you for sharing it! :)
 
cchu I started out with modern folders and they just never really did it for me. Traditional knives not only appealed to me but also changed my out look on life in general. I became more relaxed and began to appreciate the simpler things. The knives have taken me back to a time when things were a bit slower and easier also opened the doors to a less mechanized world where a man or woman can occasionally stop and smell the roses.

+1:thumbup: Why would I need an EO, one hand opening knife? I've always been told to turn my tongue 7 times before speaking, the same applies to knives imho, doesn't it....
 
Further to this how is it that with all of the time saving devices we have in our mechanised automated world -no one has time anymore?
I love traditionals for those exact reasons you mention cchu518:thumbup:
 
I see my Knifes as part of my daily life since I was 5. I got over 40 and generally buy one or 2 a month. I find maintaining them very relaxing.

This plus a zillion!!!!

If you don't stop now and then to smell the roses, you're gonna have some real regrets come the end.
