Let's see your Traditional Case knives, old to new.

You don't carry 2 bladed knives ?
Not in my watch pocket.
All the two blade knives that I prefer are 3-1/2" or bigger and carried in the front pocket.
The one exception to that is the Case Swayback Jack, it's the first small two blade that I really love to carry in my watch pocket... must be the shape that makes it work for me.
I put my hands in my pockets a lot, and putting the hand in or pulling the hand out is bothersome to me if the knife doesn't lay nice and flat in my watch pocket.

I meant to respond to @Corto_Malt post about rough edged pins too.

My Tribal Lock doesn't have that issue, but it CAN be tamed by taking a leather strop for sharpening and 'buffing' the pins a bit, it softens any burrs around the pins without attacking the scales- except it shines them a bit. Worked well for me in similar situations anyway.

Thanks, Will

Just a follow-up... took my strop to a synthetic Tribal Lock with a couple proud pins, proud enough to catch skin and clothing. Worked well. Pins have been tamed enough they no longer catch skin or clothes. Still a bit proud, but the sharp is gone. Worked over my other knives with the same issue. My Whiskey Bone Tribal is slightly better, but due to the deep jigging through the pin location I can't quite get it as good as the others. Still better than the way it was.

Thank you very much for the tip.

edit - pic thread, these two are spending most time in pocket for Spring

I’m good with the red bone, love red and patina, but I really want them to do a CS in chestnut. 😁
That antique rogers jigged bone they introduced a couple years ago is really nice too.
I'd love that autumn bone in CS too, that 08 with autumn bone and those nice bolsters it's just begging for some patina.
