What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I don't think these two will leave my pockets anytime soon. Two clip blades, sheepsfoot, pen, and a punch, covers all my needs in a light comfy carry.

How do you use the punch, ie, how does it specifically help "cover all your needs" as part of the pair above?

I'm going with my White Owl and mini copperhead again today (top two).

I guess I just grew up using them. Besides the obvious use, works great making holes in wood, as a scribe, it always seems up on a ladder your drill bit looses its magnet so I've used to start a hole to hold a long screw in place, I've made stuff camping with it ( start a spoon, fishing hooks, bobbers, cedar pipe ) scraping PVC , untying knots ( like a marlin spike), I've used to retro fit things like grommets, core out, make a existing hole bigger, I'm sure the list goes on and on at least for me. I will say the Swiss Army farmer has the best one(IMHO). I find it saves a knife blade for its intended use.

P.S. I like your white owl, that is a nice looking knife, what are the scales?

Thanks for taking the time to write such a helpful explanation! More to think about.

My white owl has "autumn gold" scales.

And this weekend around the house I'll be carrying the knife that I won in Andi's giveaway. I carried it last weekend as well but didn't get a pic up. Thanks again Andi and here's the Otter Messer in (usually) sunny Florida!

Hi Nathan!

It´s good seeing this old fellow again and that it has a good home in Florida :) Now it can see a new enviroment... I´m glad you like and carry it :)

That T. A. Davison is stunning, as often as I see it.

Kind regards

I've been carrying this Buck 303 for several months now, since I got it on the 'bay. It was used, but not much, and I find it's the perfect size for an EDC stockman.

That white owl has everything going for it, nice scales, pinched bolsters, bail, long pull, swedges, and I believe it's 1095? what's not to like. Looks like a good EDC.
 
Hard to beat for slicing apples and such on the long weekend! All the best to Bladeforum members on this Memorial weekend. And my greatest respect and thanks to those who have served and paid the ultimate price.
