All right guys and gals, lets see what you carry outdoors when you want to glam it up some, and tell me why. I'll go first.

Necker: My wedding knife made by me. It is a solid 3 finger grip that can be a full hand grip easily enough. It has Desert Ironwood and red liners, a wood tone kydex sheath and some rudimentary filework. Actually it was a scrap piece of steel that I tried my first filework on, and decided that it needed to be turned into a knife. A couple of minutes on the grinder and this is what came out:

Folders:
Damascus Leek- pretty self explanitory- good looking steel, performs great and speedsafe.

Case Damascus Stockman- Even though there are some fit and finish problems the blades get sharp, stay sharp well, and the bone looks good in contrast with the raindrop damascus. This is becoming my EDC now that I am back in school (no bad sheeple responses yet).

$5 Kuhn folder I modified. The blades have everything I need- Wharncliffe for point and long edge, and then both a concave and convex secondary blades. Not much that can not be done with this. (before and after)

My BRKT Lil' Bird and Trout- it is a mini bushcraft shape, small, light and very versatile. Works well in the kitchen, as well as in the woods. Carries well sideways on the belt, and best of all- it's RED!!

I found this Grohmann on the street along with a new pair of dress pants and made a matching marlinspike for it (not shown). Classic Canadian design in a classy handle material.

The closest thing to a pretty chopper is my kukri

I showed you mine now show me yours!
 
I just got this one from Scott Gossman, it's a Micro Tusker. I intend to wear it outdoors with my homemade neck sheath. I think the red and black linen micarta is purdy:)
 
OK..this is the prettiest one I got!

What is this "pretty outdoors knife" you speak of?

I guess kukzilla is still polished up, for the most part. . .

And my Dui Chirra

But that's because I've been laid up and haven't had them out to play.
 
Mine aren't admittedly all that pretty....But her are nicest of them.

The Wilson is reserved for deer hunting.
The others see regular use at camp or hiking.
 
Good start- Keep them coming!!

Illbruche- that Ariel nessmuck is on my list of pretties to have, but have to wait until late next year for mine (one in stag like yours and one in custom micarta).

Nobody has said WHY they carry their pretties, or what drew them to them.
 
I carry my TREEMAN because it makes me feel a bit classier:D
I dont know..I carry a nice handmade knife because ultimately..its a knife! and a damn fine cutter at that...perfect edge and grind...nice feel and looks awesome. I think I would like a different sheath for it...maybe Ilbruche wants to play with it for a bit and make me a nice cross draw pouch instead of the Randall style that came with it. I know I have written Ilbruche about 3 times asking him to make me this or that..and I always flake out...I am just so damn busy with work and the pregnant woman...oh yeah..and the 2 year old tyrant living with me...:D..anyway..I do need a nice sheath for this one...something more traditional, or maybe Native American in influence?

Obviously, you weren't THAT busy! :)

When it comes to "pretty," I like my little Jim Rehrer custom:

That howling rat looks awesome! I'm tempted to do that to mine.
