I have a Case tuxedo (a pocket worn red bone from 2004) on my coffee table every day.

If my actual knife usage was gauged, I'm sure it would be my #1 most used knife. The small blade has no equal for many tasks.

I would flip my lid for a GEC version.

I think there is a copy of that edition of the Bluejackets' Manual around here somewhere. Need to go looking...

Unless yours was handed down to you like mine was from my grandfather you are dating yourself.

I had no idea this thread existed! Books are the only “hobby” I like better than knives.

I’m posting from my phone, but here’s a link to an older photo I took:

I found it and it is the 1940 edition also. I remember as a kid enjoying looking through it.

It does make for some interesting reading. The way they explained things and tried to prepare the men for service. Also like looking at the old photographs. I have wondered if there is anything equivalent do it these days.

Here's my Higonokami on a copy of the final shooting script of The godfather, one of my all-time favorite movies

George Schrade was quite the innovator... I love the Boy Scout mess kit

Something a bit different. My Grandad made this out of a saw blade. Takes a good edge and the saw comes in handy.
