A guy's gotta do,what a guy's gotta do.

Hey George,Thanks :thumbup:,to the rest of yas ...well go on,be jealous then

I'm splanin' anyhow.In my painters jeans the pockets are such,that a slipjoint over 3.5 is too big for the watch pocket & turns sideways in the front pocket & is darn ,well,uncomfortable & freakin',well,not good,.This rig keeps it in place

In my Wrangler Carpenter pants the watch pocket holds this size rather well & is no probs.

I guess t depends on what I'm doin' that day is hows itsgonna go.Go on...lemme have it,I can take it !
Signed,
A very knifed - up & happy Vince

Honest to God, I don't know how I find these "Knife Purse Incidents" out of all these posts. It's like they call to me. Trust me Vince, I think this is for your own good. But I gotta say, it's going to hurt me more than it hurts you to break the news to the Old Dog.

Say it ain't so Vince....say it ain't so.

Kerry,I hate to tell you,but Tony's been holding back for years now....You see,he knows this & won't say it,but back in the days of knives he loves & reproduces,The MEN bought high end knives that came with purses,and trust me,they were more girly than anything I've ever seen,modern day
Yeh they had thier EDC knives,but the high end ones came with purses.
So,I say this,somewhere in Tony's collectionm of the oldies knives,deep under a pile,hidden maybe,is a vintage purse,looking more girly than anything.He's been hiding it from you guys

They had good ideas back then.Its a good thing,you guys can come to terms with this maybe ?

This smells so much like that great butter they put on popcorn at the theaters.

I'm glad you still like that little guy, my first 2 blader. Now, what was we talking about????

It's a zippery slope. The first step is a doozy!!!

Anthony, I have to disagree with you on that. An old well used working mans knife is some of the best eye candy I can imagine, and yours in certainly no exception. :thumbup:

Thanks for not hiding this one from us

I'm carrying my Schrade 125OT in my backpocket today.
Id dindnt get to see much of the world out there lately, and was complaning 'bout that...

Take care and keep posting pictures of your knives...

Peter

Thank You Peter,

Its quite kind of you to comment on my old Buck. I of coarse feel the same way about any tried and true, stand the test of time, working for a living hard use Old Knives..

When I posted it here I figured it probably wouldn't get a second look next to some of the other knockouts you see.. So thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Your Schrade 125OT here is another such older classic that fits into the aforementioned category. Your Schrade is a slipjoint that literally barks out the words, 'I am here to work.' Another true hard chore user with steel that I kinda liken to the vintage Timex advertisements so to speak,, 'takes a licking and keeps on ticking'..

OK, I know, enough with the silly cliches, Tony..

But in all serious, the older hi-carbon steel Schrades are some of the finest users ever made to be sure, IMO. Thanks for sharing it here, Peter.

Here is her sister, a Schrade 25OT that I received in a trade for from a good friend and forumite here. I snapped a few photo's of it before I gifted it to an old friend and neighbor who is dying from heart disease. I traded for it here specifically to replace the one he lost back in the day on one of his outdoor adventures some years ago.. So, when I saw it for trade in our forum here, I sealed the deal and gave it to my pal to cheer him up during his initial recovery stage after his open heart surgery. It worked. He really appreciated it..

Thanks for all the other knife descriptions and photo's here guys and gals. Its one of my favorite threads. I really enjoy all the great member participation and contributions immensely!

It certainly is.

I think we’ve all known someone in our lives that started out just carrying a man purse recreationally for a few hours a day. Then before you know it, that person starts carrying the man purse on weekends, and then at work.

After that they can’t stand to be without the man purse and those of us who were once close to the man purse carrier stand idly by as he digs through his purse to make correct change in a grocery store checkout line while people pile up impatiently behind him.

And then it’s the hardcore stage of “Does this purse match what I’m wearing?”

Not many of them come back to the real world at this point. In this case, perhaps an intervention at Blade is in order?

In the meantime, Kerry can you get Vince the man purse waiver from Tony so he’s at least documented when he has to empty his purse at the airport security checkpoint?

And I don’t know about your ancestors, but I can assure you mine did not carry their knives in purses.

This is tough love Vince.

Mike,I like that chicken bag,that has character,Thanks for showing that one :thumbup:

I’m even more worried about you after reading that last post.

And I see where you’ve employed the classic enabling strategy of “everyone else is carrying a man purse so I will too” when you called Tony a closet purse carrier.

I'm not going to touch the Viagra comment with a 10-foot pole...

 

[VCM3]

Mike,I never said he carried one,he just hid them from you guys,for years now. But they were there in slipjoint knife history,they've always been there

The original knife purses in the past were for girls, not real men.
