I know we have been over this a few times but I prefer a pocket knife with a pocket clip, it has a lot to do with what I do for a living I work construction and run heavy equipment. either way I have my knife out at least a dozen time a day wether Im at work or not. And if you guys are as bad as me you sit on the couch or in the garage and play with your knife constantly. Anyway I swith back and forth between 4 or 5 knives week to week a couple that arent schrades like a leatherman and a kershaw, but these are my favorite edc schrade knives. NOT my fovorite knives but the knives I prefer to carry that do the best job for me, that I can get out quickly and keep from filling my pocket with mud and grease without digging around for it. this pic is straight from the pocket, lets see yours, nothing cleaned up or anything fancy just pull it out and take a pic. By the way I just got the lake and walker a couple of weeks ago and love it as much as I love the switch it. Wether you carry a knife with a clip or not lets just see it. -Joel

no pic, but i am carrying my 897UH. arnold, when i was in copperas cove, i got into a "tiff" with a guy at a mcfrugals(?) store in killeen, and i was carrying a buck 119 because i had been hunting. i never slapped leather with it, but when the bell county sheriff deputy arrived, he wasnt even concerned. he did take a folding camp shovel from the guy though! god i miss TEXAS!!! it haunts me!! now they are showing advertisments about visiting texas on tv here in sc. makes me cry....

Every day at work (business casual office environment): 897UH
Weekends (blue jeans): 125OT or 858OT on the belt
Sunday (church): 61OT that belonged to my dad
 
No Schrades today. Vic Rucksack:o :(

P.S. Nice to see the Switch-It get a little love. It is in my rotation.
 
eyegor, I know most people arent crazy about that style but It really grew on me once I started carrying it. I really like it and you can get them out of smkw for $8.99. I have a vic in my rotation too. trekker. -Joel
 
mine are,work day's my 98ot, weekends just buming around is the 897uh,and out trekking around in the woodlands it's my 47ot on the belt,unless i'm hunting it will be a sharpfinger or lb7
 
Lately this is my new favorite,
1/2 of a 77OT with red jigged bone & a little file work on the backspring. The main blade was snapped off at the tang.

PS- I am using it now for dinner, cutting a sharp Irish cheddar & a beef Summer Sausage. :D
 
Two knives at the moment, i have been carrying the opinel #6 by itself but i got the sog vision in a trade so that's been clipped to my pocket all day to try it out.

First off dale you gotta make me one of thoes, for a good deal of corse and Andy Ive never owned an opinel except for the my first knife version I bought for my nephew, how do you like it. -Joel
 
I love the opinel for a small use pocket knife, i find the handle very comfortable and you barely notice it in your pocket. I just bought the spyderco sharpmaker and the carbon blade is very easy to sharpen.
 
Today it is a little blue SAK classic in my pocket, and I also have a Gerber Paraframe in my office drawer.

One in each pocket today.

A Bulldog Winterbottom Stockman and my old stand-by, the 897UH. The Bulldog is in case I have to show off a little.

 
Today it is a Schrade Badger in one pocket and in the other it is a 94OT. I carry the 94OT all the time and rotate the right pocket with various other Schrades.

Handsome knife there, but don't see THAT coping with a whole load of work dirt&slime and then coming home to prepare a snack or two:eek:

How did the blade get snapped? Nice scales though....

The original knife I bought with a broken blade.

Now, about the dirt & slime........I grew up on a ranch. I have seen cowboys use their knives all morning castrating calves, wipe their blade on their pants, and then use the same blade to cut an apple or piece of jerky for their lunch.

I guess it all depends on your perspective. :D
