Here are a few pics of my slipjoint choices for EDC

Nice pieces...are those queens or OK's in the lower left?

Also, in the upper right. Just curious why these would be in you EDC. Nice knives, but not the 'norm' for an EDC. Any advantage/ disadvantage in using these? Very interesting choices for EDC, not what most might carry.

Very cool, however, IMHO. Thanks for sharing...

All Queens, but only one real Winterbottom Bone handle,(the Serpentine Jack)
 
Hey T.,
Top leftish. What brand of knife is the pearl celluloid(?) with the corkscrew? It reminds me of a Bruckmann, but it's fatter than any of mine.

Love the funny folder too; I have a modern version from A.G. Russell, but your's looks older and it's obviously not one of A.G.'s.

Thanks for sharing. Those are some cool knives for carrying; most of them are probably too classy for anyplace I go. :)

Best Wishes,
Bob
 
Very nice selection of edc's, you got some cool stuff there. Its nice to see someone else that carries older Imperials and Colonials as a edc from time to time. I've found that if you get them in good condition, they make a very servicable knife. The problem is that since they were inexpensive knives to begin with, most were rode hard and put away wet, and now its not always easy to get one in good shape. Couple that with the fact most were made out of carbon steel, and you find lots of rusted and busted old knives out there. On the plus side, if you find one in good shape, those thin, carbon steel blades sharpen up a wicked edge.

I like your collection alot, reminds me of mine, a eclectic bunch of nice using knives. Got to get some pics taken soon.

This is what I've been sayin' all along people are using the old ones to destruction because they were cheap and if it rusted or broke so what?

Well now is what,and they're, (mint/near mint) examples are gettin' more and more scarce.

Nice group of good working cutters. Would you be able to post a a close-up of that coke bottle pattern on the left, second from the bottom? I have one that is unmarked that looks very similar. I was hoping to compare it with the one in the photo. Thanks.
 
Is that Christmas tree celluloid gunstock in the middle a Cattaraugus Harness Jack??
 
Thanks for the great pic, what a eclectic mix of EDC's in that photo, good to see the variety!
