As usual, I carry several knives at a time, just something I do
as each one has a purpose or a need that I feel I like to have at hand.
Recently I found this one in my drawer and sharpened it up to carry and
find it quite useful as a rough and tumble working knife, especially the smaller
blade which was a bit thick edged but have reprofiled it so it cuts very well
the size and the fact that the nail nicks are on the same side facing you is
a nice feature, about 3 1/4" closed, made in the Emerald Isle or at least so it
says on the main blade, here is a quick shot taken while here in Clearwater FL
on business, sitting in the hotel, ho-hum

Little Kabar stockman today.Whoever owned this little thing buffed the heck out of the blades but it's tight and f/f is great.I had to put a diamond file on the sheepsfoot nail nick to make it a little deeper to open.The scales are hard as a rock. I think they are bakelite. If anyone knows Kabars please give me a bit of info like the age.

Today I wsa loaded for bear. Actually the last two days. Since I was away. I had a Case Medium Stockman in amber jog bone in my right front pocket. A Case Canoe in amber jig bone in my watch pocket. Case Large Stockman in amber jig bone in right rear pocket. Case Trapper in amber jig bone in left rear pocket next to my wallet. And a Vic SAK Champ Plus with my keys in my left front pocket. As my collection grows it gets harder to choose what to carry. I had to many today. Need to learn how to choose just a few.
