Knives your kids / spouses are carrying.

The wife normally carries one of these and a Victorinox SD. She keeps a Mora Companion in her glove box as well.
 
I got my son a Kershaw (can't remember which one, it's discontinued, 8cr13mov steel) for Christmas years ago. I sharpened it nicely and showed him how to touch up. After a while he told me how it was the best knife he ever had.
FF for the next Christmas and I got him a Leatherman. He was a mechanic at the time and he told me that multitools were garbage because they always bent and broke.
So, I give him the lecture on steel used and how more knives out there being used were crap steel.
He tells me later that it was a good tool.

So, I know what to do for Christmas from now on, for him and also for the grandkids.

Some years later I hear that my grandson cut himself on a knife and needed stitches. I feel horrible. Then I find out that it was a knife that someone else gave him and that it broke.

Now that I am trying to shrink my collection instead of grow it, I give my son my best knife every Christmas. He says he has a collection. Makes me happy.

I got my son a Spyderco Native 5 for Christmas, as well as gifting him his great-uncle's WWll Ka-Bar. He always thought me carrying a knife was kinda lame but now he carries his everywhere! I also got him a SAK Soldier from '77 for his birthday this year.

My wife used to roll her eyes whenever I said anything about my knives, so I bought her a SAK Classic with cute little kitties on it for Christmas. She shows it to everybody too!

Jim, winning
 
My wife carries a purple aluminum handled Kershaw Scallion that I got her every day. She loves that little thing because it "fits in girl pockets and fits my hands" unlike my bigger knives. Plus she likes the assist on it. She also has my Kershaw black Leek somewhere too, but that one doesnt fit in her pockets well so it tends to collect dust. She also has a couple of fixed blades that she uses sometimes when we go camping. She really likes her custom drop point that she bought with pine cone scales on it, that is a sweet knife.
But 99.9% of the time, its the Scallion that she uses.

My whole life, I thought girls had pockets. Their clothes look like they have pockets. Then I discovered the terrible truth. Some of those pockets are really tiny. Some are just seams sewn to look like pockets. 😮
 
My son carries a Buck 830 Marksman in 20cv and has a 110 slim pro for backup. His Sunday dress knife is a 501 squire in cpm 154. One SIL carries a 112. The other two carry cheap knives and utility blades.😔 My three older grandkids have 112 slim select and 301. Younger ones have a nano bantam. My second youngest granddaughter has her eye on my 303 cadet so I will be getting her one next birthday. Lol My daughters just use whatever they find in the kitchen drawers. Lol.
 
Soon to be on in law so I guess that counts:

Both are handy with this lil guy come branding time. Its a one off blunt nose castrator, (in cowboy vernacular, a nutter). I just rounded off the tip on one of my paring knife designs:

My son, a working cowboy, is a Case trapper guy. He works in the big wide open of north east Nevada these days but he says even out there ya never know when a guy is gonna run into some clown.

He carries the Case in one of our buckaroo pouches:

I've made him several of our fixed blades but he usually trades em off. He just doesn't like wearing anything on his belt. But he did use his Horsewright belt to drag that cow elk back to camp:

My daughter is always complaining about the pockets on her pants being too small for a knife.

A friend of mine has the same complaint, so I gave her an AG Russell Hunter's Scalpel that she carries clipped to her bra strap. Her friends think it's cool when she whips a knife out of her shirt. I call it her 21st Century bodice dagger.
