Give two of your favorite all around edc traditional knives.

My 2012 Bladeforums knife, and a case peanut in Chestnut bone. Love the robust clip and wharncliff blades of the 2012 BF knife, and the smaller delicate task that i could do with the peanut.
 
its more than two but *any* of these;

Give them to whom? :eek:

Victorinox Cadet.
Case Medium Stockman 63032.
 
My oldest knife and most cherished, bought with lawn mowing/allowance money in 1970. Remarkable that I still have it after all these years :thumbup:

Gosh this is a tough one. I don't actually have a lot of traditionals - in fact I try to avoid having too many as I carry and use them, I don't collect them. I have 8 GEC's right now which for me is A LOT and almost more than I care to have. Each though is very much appreciated in it's own right.

What are two favorites? Well two that are truly fantastic are these... The #6 Pemberton and #92 Eureka Jack in matching Autumn Gold bone. These would honestly handle 99% of what I'd ever need a knife for.

I've got a similar routine with my ebony pemberton...pemberton in my watch pocket and the "knife of the day" in my rfp. Although I've been really tempted to try an alox SAK in place of the pemby, never had one, but hear nothing but praise for them.

You will probably want to try an 84mm like a Cadet. At 3.3 inches, it is closer to your Pemberton's size. I usually carry a Pioneer size ALOX which is 93mm or 3.6 inches in length and might be a little big for a watch pocket. I usually carry the 93's in a kydex necker.

I have never owned a Cadet but lots of folks really like them! :thumbup:
 
How long is that red bone jack knife Paul? Great looking knife!

Case swayback jack and a GEC boys knife, preferably 2 blades, and any cover material will do... But I prefer jigged bone or ebony covers.
 
Yea that is a great size for a knife. I have been carrying a 6318.. similar shape but a tad too long for my taste. I may have to try to find one of those..
