Here are two I've been carrying on and off. The first is an LF&C and the second is an Imperial (I bought recently off the forum). What I like is they sharpen very easily but hold a nice edge for a decent time period. Oh, and I'm interested to see what vintage knives you fellas carry.

This is what I was carrying today while taking photos at the ranch. Imperial Prov. R.I. Cracked Ice

Just recently picked this Imperial up, it needs a good sharpening before it gets carried though.

I carry this one a couple of times each week. It's a Cammilus that was my dad's.

I carry this one every once in a while. 300Bucks

Schrade 204, TL-29 clone, carbon and ebony, or maybe rosewood.

No pic currently available, but I picked up a stainless Henckels model, similar to the Buck 309, in dark red jigged bone a few weeks ago whilst on a trip to Vegas. The main clip is 2-1/4", and the secondary pen blade is an inch and a quarter, on a single backspring. No wobble, gaps, or proud springs or pins. I think I have found my pattern, although I'm not quite sure what it's called. Always nice to find new old stock, too.
 
Remington 6643 Pen. Don't know the correct name for it as it is not equal end or serp. Tiny bolsters and Fed shield, the bone is really rich. Blades still have good life left in them, if used sparingly.
 
I don't know what you consider "vintage," but as a young guy I can apply that to a lot of knives! I don't have pics, but I have a pre-1973 Schrade Walden Trapper (293) that I carry on occasion, and a well-worn 787 (muskrat) that I carry almost daily. The I turned one of the muskrat's clip points into a sheepsfoot profile as the point was almost worn off, and now it serves my need quite nicely.

What I will actually carry and use is limited to two knives. Both given to me by my grandfather who is still living.
