Great picture, I'd love to hear your thoughts on comparative usage. I have and love my #22 but always wondered if the #09 would be more practical.

Although i have only had my #22 for one day i have to say that for me it is easier to handle than the #09 mainly because my hands are a bit arthritic which is why i got the stag #09 to take the place of the ebony #09, the stag being a bit bulkier and less slick than the ebony. I mostly use my knives to open mail, cereal boxes and some food prep mostly halving and slicing baguette, all of these little jobs the #09 handled fine but the #22 is better, mainly i think because the clip point blade is a bit bigger all round if you look at the rather poor picture you will notice that while the handle of the #09 is longer, being a penknife the main blade is shorter, i have thought ever since i got my first #09 that if GEC had made it a jack they would of made a superior peanut. As to being more practical if you need a knife that just disappears into your pocket and does not startle non knife folk when you deploy it then go #09, it will tackle most tasks as i have said before it is like a Jack Russell that thinks it is a Doberman, lastly the #09 has no half stop it never bothered me but may be something to consider.

Thanks a lot! Very insightful and helpful. That's some nice stag on your #09 though!

I'm carrying my one and only charlow today. I had been carrying my #22 for a long time and started to feel like the charlow was unnecessary. The cure is to carry and use it!

For the last few days I've been carrying my $1 swap meet find. A 1950s-60s Kutmaster "STAINLESS HANDLE" Equal End Jack. I found this knife on a table full of Chinese pocket knives it was covered in old grease, after wiping it off and spraying it with some Brake Klean this is what I would up with..

That's just like mine, except mine has the chrome worn off the blades. Nice, strong, compact little devil,isn't it?

Oh no! That's very nice, but I probably won't be able to find one.

Two totally different styles.

Been backpacking since the end of last week. Thought I would snap a photo as I was unpacking to show what I carried with me knife-wise. A colorful bunch.

Continuing the string of Alox Minichamps. I love the little Classics but the added Philips, little wharncliffe, and cap lifter are great.

I must say yours is my favorite of the 33's on this forum... That's no safe queen, it's a true EDC! Love it
