Post your pocket knives with more than just blades! And I don't mean purpose-built multitools like SAKs and other lobsters. I mean something like a fish knife or beer scout that's mostly a normal pocket knife but with a bonus. Let's call the scout pattern a wobbler. If yours has non-standard tools or exotic handle scales or something else that sets it apart, then post it.
I've always been a multitool guy, I carried a SAK as a kid, a Leatherman as a teenager/young adult, and have since gotten into traditional knives specifically. I've been carrying traditionals intentionally and exclusively for about a year now, and in that time have edc'd a 110 clone, an Opinel, a Texas Jack and a 108OT. Of course I've owned and handled more than that, but those are the ones that earned the place of "main knife" as I am not a rotator, I pick one and carry it every day, rain or shine until something better comes along.
I started down the traditional path (some might call it a rabbit hole) because I liked the barely-there carry and fine slicing that my Leatherman Wave severely lacked, but I do miss having tools. I picked this up a couple weeks ago, this is a 106OT, which is pretty much a 108OT but with scissors instead of the sheepsfoot blade. I've seen the China versions of them before, but as soon as I learned that they were made in the USA too I had to buy one. Unlike all my other daily carry knives, I didn't put even a minute of my time into this one. It came straight out of the envelope and into my pocket. I didn't even sharpen it until a couple days ago (on my new water stone :thumbup
