Oldest Traditional Pocket Knife You Actually Tote And Use ??

[fishin1635]

This pre WW2 Camillus easy open spends a lot of time in my pocket, the old steel takes a razor edge easily.

A "new" one that is older than the c.1947-1953 Imperial Engineer's knife I showed a few pages back.
No newer than 1939. EDIT: Since posting this I've been informed it dates to between 1911 and 1921.

Robeson 622110 ShurEdge "English Jack".
Jigged bone covers. No blade wobble, takes (and holds) a keen 10 DPS/20° Inclusive edge, making it a great slycer.

A favorite when I don't carry a stockman.
I really like the jigging on the knives of this period. I wish asymmetrical jigging like this was available today. Modern jigging is so boring ... IMHO. Too symmetrical.

Its not real old 1982. I do carry it on my days off from work.

This LF&C jackknife gets occasional pocket carry, it has a version of "Gum Fuddy" handles. OH

Not an antique by any means but this is my early 80s Eye Brand 99 Jr that I got as a young Boy Scout and have carried since before I was middle school.
