Let's face it, most of us carry a folder every day. When on the trail or at home, I prefer to carry a fixed blade, but 99% of the time I have a couple slipjoints on me. I have the ever present peanut from Carl, my favorite folder pattern the Zulu (an ebony Case Tribal Spear most of the time) and usually a camp knife or SAK, lately a worn down black alox Pioneer and Tuna Valley red stag camp knife). Lately, I have thrown in two Tracy Larock folders, a Lannys Clip and a dogleg jack, sometimes the dogleg jack takes the place of the Tribal.
So, I've got a ton of knives, and probably some type of knife OCD. Many of us here, young and old and from all walks of life, love to go fishing, hunting, camping or just on a good walk in the woods to clear our heads of all the rigamarole of the city life. When we get out there, for most of us on the east coast anyway, we are never far from some type of civilization.
I love to see the pics of people doing things with their folders that the knife and survival community says you have to do with giant choppers or fixed blades. I love fixed blades, my favorites are the Kephart and Hudson Bay Company camp patterns. Not small knives and while useful, do you know how to use your folder for bushcraft/woodcraft/woods running tasks? Survival is not what I'm looking at here, but comfort and some useful knowledge.
I want to see pics of your snares, gigs, fishing equipment, bushcrafty type stuff etc done with your traditional folding pocket knife. From the Buck 110 to the customs I've seen on here, like a few Oesers and Penas used for some pretty dirty tasks.
I found that I can get wood curls for fire starting with my Tribal Spear. The possibility of a folder folding on YOU is not a fun prospect, but I've heard tales from my father and others of old timers, some family patriarchs and some good friends of the family, using a pocket knife for everything outdoors. People made due, and while I love some of the fixed blades out there, and I am no woods runner myself, I still like to know what I can do with a tool in the wilderness.
