Although I own many traditional knives I tend to only carry a few. Now some out there may find this strange but I am first and foremost a collector.

I keep around a dozen knives, traditional and non-traditional for edc use but I have my favourites and I carry those 90% of the time.

My two edc traditional's which have been all over the world with me are my Case yellow Delrin Peanut and my trusty Schrade 825 Stockman. Both stainless.

Now it is no secret that I much prefer stainless to carbon blades. Indeed there are many modern knives which are made only in carbon which I refuse to buy. So when I saw this little gem come up for sale I knew I had found my new ideal edc traditional.

The Schrade 855………….

This little stockman is barely bigger than a peanut but it is just so much more elegant and useful. You get three blades for the same size knife and the beautiful serpentine shape and wonderful jigging is so classic. This knife is legal everywhere I travel and would not raise anybody's eyebrows.

So I shall have it with me on all my future travels.:)

Steven, I have the exact knife and I agree with you, it is a great knife. The delrin covers come as close to bone as can be ;)

Lovely knife. Didnt know they did that peachseed jigging on delrin. I suppose it has the infernal swinden keys?
 
As a fellow stainless and stockman lover, I say "Excellent!"
 
Well, I guess if a peanut has to be replaced, it may as well her with one that keeps to the spirit of maximum minimalism. It's a very pretty little little knife, it's scarcely bigger than a peanut, and it has three blades to use. Very good return on the weight vs utility concept. As Grand High Muckba that likes small pocketable knives that can be carried almost anywhere, I very much approve!:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I really like that razor blade etch and the drop point blade. :thumbup:
 
That's a great looking knife. Love the size. Enjoy carrying that one!
 
That definately IS a great looking knife!
But this still is heresy, to the stake with him :D
