Carrying a stag lamb and a knife that followed my home from my recent trip to Wyoming. This Uncle Henry Schrade+ 285UH was my grandpa's. I know little about it (age, etc.), but as he passed away 12 years ago, I know it is at least that old. It's got scratches on the blade indicating he wasn't afraid to use it, so I won't be either. I have a decent number of knives, but this one (and the Old Timer 940t that was his and has been used and sharpened extensively) are now the two most cherished knives in my collection.

All three of my grandpa's knives that I brought home. My youngest son asked for the SAK when we were looking through my grandpa's old garage so it is now his.

I love this. That slim trapper is one of my patterns. Great finds and great memories.
 
Carried these 2 today : Grohmann Bird & Trout and also used the 2019 Blade Forums Knife working on a Wedge to flare the Grohmann Sheath . Just followed Amir Fleschwund Amir Fleschwund 's suggestion on the flaring a little farther . Sheath is drying now with the wedge still in it . Probably will still chamfer the Grohmann handle as well . It is a " Belt & Suspender " thing .

I'da told the truth:
"NO!!! I do not have A knife in my pocket!!! 😳 I have at least five in my pockets ... plus a couple on my belt (including a pliers based "muli-tool") and around my neck .... 🤣😁👍
Sorry. I don't loan out my knives to "children".
Adults are more likely to leave home without their trousers and unders, than without a knife in their pocket.
At least that is what I was taught before I received my first knife (a 4 blade "Scout" knife) when I was 5. I was also taught how to use it, and even more importantly , how not to use it ... and how to sharpen it.
Since you have no knife, it is obvious you don't know how to use a knife ... you would probably do something stupid, like try to cut with the wrong edge of the blade ... that would make a big mess when (not "if") your fingers land on the floor. 😳🙄🤨.

I'll be happy to cut your meal to bite size, same as I would for any other child. 😁👍"

I don't understand those who refuse to carry a knife, but have no qualms about asking to "borrow" one. 🤔🙄☹️

Heck!! During my time in the workforce, part of the job interview included handing your pocket knife over for examination! You were judged by the condition of your knife!
No knife: You were unprepared, and untrust worthy. You were not offered the job, regardless of your qualifications!
Rusty* or broken blades, or dull blades and blades with excessive slop from prying ... you used the wrong tools for the job, AND did not tke care of your tools. It would be stupid to "think" you would take care of any company tools you used. You were not offered a job.(* a patina was acceptable. "Patina" is not rust or damage.)
No broken blades, blades are all sharp, no excessive slop, has signs of "normal" use, and well cared for: You are reliable, honest,use theright tools, take care of your tools (so are likely to take care of any company toolds you haveto use) you are offered the job, usualy to start either the same day or the next day, (depending on the shift, if applicable.)
NEW knife: Depends on the reason. They did know knives wore out with normal use and proper sharpening.
At one time, a knife had a "life expectancy" of 3 to 5 years of normal use.
(recall: this was before it was "common" to have enough knives to carry one for a consecutive week (or a couple consecutive days), and never carry the same knife twice in a year. 🙄)

It sounds like your interviewer came right off the pages of a Bull of the Woods calendar.

That is a very nice looking knife Mike . The grind on the edge is so even on your knife and the one I got that it is hard to believe . The problem with mine was that I had to change the angle to make it sharp !!!!! Did you find that issue with your's also ???? I still want to get one like your's though . I like them a lot !!! The ergonomics of them is great IMO .
