What's Your 4th Carry? (Traditionals only please)

[afishhunter]

I  was going to tote a (standard) Buck 301 and Case Sodbuster Jr.. I changed my mind (as old things are known to do)
(USA) circa 1987 to 1984 Old Timer 858 (no "OT" in the tang stamp) Lumberjack Stockman. (a "Grail" of mine.)
"Remington" (likely made by Camillus in the 1990's) Canoe. (No "R" number)

I'll have this on my belt:

If anyone cares, the pens are all circa 1948. Two Esterbrook "J" and a Waterman's "Ideal" lever fills, also made in USA.
(so are the inks in them; Noodler's in the green Estie, and Birmingham Pen Co. in the others.)

What is your Holiday carry going to be?

I have no more fitting knife than this Faded Glory Buck 524 gent.
It's not only patriotic but most importantly it's made here in the USA, I don't do anything patriotic that isn't made here.

I don't do anything patriotic that isn't made here.

That's what my sardonic comment was about.

This one, friends. Gratefully received in a GAW by JM2 .

I love this country of ours like no other, like no one else does. Every single day.

Same as last year, I reckon Thanks to Charlie waynorth and Gary Peregrin

Have a great 4th of July folks

There's something very American about Case and custom slipjoints, so for the 4th I'm carrying my Case/Bose large stockman which incorporates touches of both. Of course, the great thing is that in this country, most of us have the freedom to carry whatever we feel like!

Easy choice:

That's what my sardonic comment was about.

I have to admit that I wasn't familiar with the word Sardonic before now,probably not a word that will make it into my vocabulary but at least I know what it means now.

I should probably have looked it up, but I think It means what I did.

Not my picture but I do have these three knives. I've just never gotten around to taking a picture of them together on my board.

Since I will be at the farm today, an A. Wright will do any cutting required.

This Schrade Minuteman from the Bicentennial era (built by Schrade on the Ulster 58OT frame with SS blades). There is also a Liberty Bell and a Paul Revere version (which I don't have). OH

I can't think of any knives I have that are explicitly patriotic in theme or color scheme, and I'm not carrying knives this week that can make a red/white/blue combo. Because of my low-budget approach to knife collecting, I don't have very many knives made in the USA. But I'm carrying two Cases this week, so I'll think of them as my July Fourth knives.
