Believe it or not, when I first left college and started working as an Engineer, I did wear a pocket protector. They're just so damned practical. But the knives have always lived in pants pockets.

We must be about the same age, I was that way as well, the pocket protector did not last though as my boss said that customers would not think much of me if I used it.
Back to topic I am carrying my GEC Viper in Ivory today.

I'm older than I like to admit, but younger than you might guess. Pocket protectors were definitely not readily available when I started working after college some 5 years ago. I've always been a bit anachronistic.

Thanks, Jack and Gevonovich. Yeah the ol' Huck Finn knife is cooling off in the shade.

Another photo of my HJ6 that I snapped a few minutes ago while playing with the camera on my new phone.

I can't get enough of this knife!

Congrats, Primble. Saturday will be here before you know it.

What kind of 'shroom is that? Does it glow in the dark, too?

In my watch pocket today - my Case XX red bone model 6263, closed length of 3 & 1/8 inches, 1965-69 era, in stainless:

I was thinking that this might make a nice gift knife to my son - for his wedding this coming Saturday.

Ooh, that's a very nice wedding day gift. I'm sure he will be touched - very thoughtful and generous. But, don't forget a gift for his "better" half.

I'm tied up at work and can't comment on all the wonderful posts today, but do want to say to Primble that I think your 6263 would make a really special and memorable wedding day gift to your son.

Thank you Stephen and that Keen Kutter is a very very nice knife.

That is very good advice Jennifer - I wonder if she likes knives

- I know she likes football.

Well, football is a start. Sounds like a great girl! Congrats to your family on a new chapter.

Primble from what I can tell the bride to be is gaining a great father in law. Congrats on the new addition to your family. The gift is a beauty and one that is worthy to carry such a story for the big day. :thumbup:

Thank you Jennifer and Brett - very much appreciated. :thumbup:

I suppose expecting her to like pocket knives might be expecting too much.

Late to this thread today Primble...a very sincere congratulations to you, your son & daughter in law

I believe she will like any of your knives...knife person or not, as your knives and pictures of them would make a convert out of anyone:thumbup:

Enjoy the special day my friend:thumbup:

Hey, you never know! My wife is slowly turning to our side, after years of listening (or pretending to listen, anyway...) to me prattle on about various subtleties of various slipjoints. In any case, congrats to you and your son, Primble!
