Traditional and Modern pairings

Here's a combination which I often carry at work. They both reasonably meet the size limitations of a blade no longer than 2" and an opened length of no more than 4 1/2".

You mean the stains on the background?
I shoot pics using a wooden stool that stands next to the barbecue. It gets used as a place to set the tongs etc when I'm cooking, so it occasionally gets drippings. It's as close to "cooking duty" as my knives usually get.

Ha, ha, no I was referring to their relative difference in girth:)

Those two side by side really make each other look EXTREME!!!

The boker has always looked interesting to me but it does seem so disproportionate. I assume in reality it handles well?

Thanks,

Kevin

Surprisingly, yes. The width of the handle makes up for it being so short and gives me a decent grip for reasonable control of the blade. Also, the blade is of heavier stock than the little Buck Lancer, so I have fewer limitations on how heavy a job I can undertake. My wife asked me to open a rather thick clam shell pack the other day, just after I came home from work. The Lancer wasn't quite up to it, but the Boker was.

However, with its pointed clip blade and nice little coping blade, the 305 gets much more usage.

Very cool thanks, Frank.

GEC has the 57 kind of chunky but when whittling it gives you awesome control. :)

Here are two sporting my favorite cover material, Amber Stag. Brent Cramer's LCJ and a Linerlock City Knife by Kansei Matsuno. The Matsuno's blade is Devin Thomas Spirograph Stainless Damascus.

I think these are my "around the house" favorites, I have a few experiments going with the serrated and the carbon blade, then a longer blade shorter handle that I modified some.

The Cold Steel Pocket Bushman, Schrade senior rancher, and Leatherman supertool 300 is my EDC. I have never used the blades on the Leatherman, but I use the outher tools. The Bushman gets the most use, and the Schrade is for delicate tasks. This has been my EDC for a little over three years now.
 
This is what you will usually find me carrying these days. Spyderco Tenacious and my Case Russlock. If I had the money I would get a Case Trapperlock and have the best of both worlds!
