Traditional and Modern pairings

Beautiful pair of CF knives there J_Curd congrats. Buck Mayo TNT + Northwoods Michigan Jack for me today:

This should count right? The KA-BAR is 14-4CrMo steel.

These are what has been gracing my pockets lately. They really have nothing in common with each other, other than the fact that I like them both. ;)

I just began carrying a traditional + modern pairing in the last few days, and may phase completely away from modern. I've always carried a modern folder for its speed of deployment - a "what if I'm attacked by a wolverine" knife. But as I am well into my pudgy years, it may be time to transition fully to traditional.

Edited to add the traditional in my pocket today, along with a brown Spyderco Delica with stainless clip:


Case humpback stockman.

Both carried for social reasons, but opposite social reasons.

Sorry for the crummy quality. This is what I have been carrying this week. I have been looking for things to cut with the little Jack, just to have it in hand. :D

Cutco / Cutco EDC - in love with my KSF City Sheath. I had been looking for an excuse to downsize the amount of cards, etc. I carry.

Oh man, I don't know if I'm just a slow learner, but I had never thought to use a City Sheath for a folder - that's genius, my friend! I assume it's working well for you?

A wolverine can smell if you have a modern tactical knife, will therefore assume you want to fight it and will naturally attack. It is known. But if it senses you have a traditional, it will respect you as a steely-eyed mountain man of old and will go on to easier prey like a Kodiak or maybe a polar bear...

Randy, That's a City Knife made by Kansei Matsuno, a Japanese maker. The blade is Thomas Spirograph Stainless Damascus. It's 3 5/8", a really nice knife to use, and it's one of my favorites.

My city sheath is like my favorite thing ever. Having a folder with a 3.5" blade that isn't being annoying in your pocket is pretty great. Still leaves you open for having a pocket clip sheath for another knife, too. 😊
