That's a serious loadout my friend :eek:
As always, I'm envious of your #15EO.

Thank you Linus. Some days I have more pockets to fill so more blades seems like the obvious choice. Not pictured are the multitool and keys. I must say that the #15EO is my favorite traditional. I may even like it as much as my sheepfoot Charlow :eek:
 

My traditional is of course the latest Forums knife. The inexpensive big Vantage with the pocket clip, flipper, and Paperstone handles is my usual modern.
 
Weekend carry:

Love the Paperstone. I wish Buck and other cutlers would use it more often.

The photos looked a lot better on the mobile phone.:p

harronek, tell us more about that beautiful ribbed alox. Is that an older model Wenger?

Its a Victorinox Cadet .
I don't know how old it is , but I think someone said they where made up until the mid eighties .
It has a small pen blade instead of the nail file that the modern Cadets have , which suits me .
Its a lovely older knife , and it seems I'm quite lucky to have got it for what I paid because I thought I might try and get a few of the straight rib SAK's but after doing some searches the prices are just crazy .
I think this might be my one and only straight rib Alox :)

Here is pic of when I first got it and before I cleaned it up .
I got these two SAK's in a deal for about a third of the price that I saw a straight ribbed Alox sell for recently on the big auction site .

This pair goes most everywhere. Small fixed blade is a Busse SK.

I bought one at a small local knife shop in '87 or '88, IIRC. Sold it here and it was lost in the mail :(
