I can't believe some of you guys carry the same knives for a couple days in a row. Sheesh!:)

I challenged self to carry that new fangled "stain less" (only been used for blades since 1918) for a month.

I do have a couple long term carries; A Western 062 Folding Hunter and a Toferner medieval style non-folding Celtic/Norse/"Viking" pocket knife, (do not qualify for the self imposed stainless challenge.) and the two Vic SAK's shown.
This year I've pretty much been switching after a week or so between two stockman's; a pre date code Wester 742, and my 2024 BF stockman (#132). Those two have gotten the most carry time this year, at any rate.
(The 062 was my 2024 KOTY, winning by a hair over the 742. The BF stockman is my 2025 KOTY ... since the regular Huntsman is a alternate carry to my 'Year Of The Ox' Huntsman, I don't "think" it would be fair to nominate it.)

I carry the same for more than one day because they feel good in hand, hold an edge, and do what I need.
I'm also old. Back in grade school had 2 knives - a 4 blade Scout/Camp/Demo knife and a stockman, that I carried every day.
In 1968 while in junior high, I added a Buck 110 to my belt. (I also had a Western L66 and a Ontario(?) "Jet Pilot Survival Knife" to choose from for the Cub and Boy Scout camping trips.
My uncle Bob gave me his issue "Demo" Knife and issue Ontario(?) in 1962, when I was 7, when he came home on leave from Vietnam, before leaving for Germany.
WHY he was issued an Air Force knife I have no idea. He was Army Infantry ... a "grunt".
Since he passed a couple years ago, I can't ask him about that knife. Back then, I never thought to ask.
Sadly, I longer have any of those knives. 😭
I do still have the Western Demo knife the Army Reserves issued to me in 1975. (It does not see much pocket time anymore. I have a couple Marbles 278 Demo knives for when I get the urge to carry a Demo knife, since they can b replaced.)

Yeah, I doubt anybody has noticed, but I've been carrying a SAK Pioneer, and a Buck 112 of some sort pretty much every day for over two years now. I'm a stubborn old codger, and when I find something that works for me, I'm reluctant to change.
 
Socked in today in the City by the Bay! Well at least on this side of the City. Hopefully it will clear up by noon 🤞. In the meantime keeping me company with the nod to Black Friday the usual lamb and SAK Signature which I had to replace the pen cartridge after 30+ years. Have a great weekend folks! 😀

I've noticed - two of my favorites. I always enjoy the posts of your daily carry. I pretty much carry an Alox Cadet and Albers GL-24 lamb everyday, but add other odds and ends in. Since my photography skills are poor, instead of cool photos of the same two knives everyday, I mostly get pics of the ones that rotate through, just to try to keep it interesting.
