My "Old Faithfull". What's yours?

[Doug Add]

I guess it depends on how you define "old faithful." Historically speaking it makes sense it would be my childhood barlow, purchased with money earned, like Paul, from mowing lawns. After all, I have had it over 40 years.

And had it updated last summer.

But it doesn't see as much regular use as my Case peanut,

or my Schrade stockman.

However, I have had these two less than a year, so that makes them "new faithfuls."

The one I have owned the longest (over 25 years) and used the most is my Victorinox Fieldmaster. Used so much in fact that the cellidor handles cracked and chipped, so I replaced them with nylon.

Without a doubt, this Schrade 8OT. Same era as Jack's but essentially new when I found it last June.

Been in my pocket ever since.

Hopefully in 40 years it will look as great as his.

Can't say I have an old faithful yet. Nothing has been a to to for more than a year at a time

A big second to the Old Timer 8OT! It's tough to decide which to pick each morning--8OT or Buck 307.

Zippo Cut-About lockback with stainless handles, I've been carrying that since I started collecting Zippos in 1994. That was my daily carry until I got involved with Scouts in 2002 and bought my first SAK.

I thought I had a pic, but I can't find it so I'll have to take another.

I've got to say my old faithful is this MCH. I've worn this photo out; need to take a new one.

I can understand why you might feel that way, but I can't imagine very tiring of seeing this picture.

The Wharcliffe blade is getting a little thin, but will still probably last my lifetime!

Plenty of life left in that one. Look at this wharncliffe trapper.
