That's a very festive knife I like it a lot!No reindeer antlers, sorry!
Here's an older pic of one my wife bought me for Christmas some years ago.
I think I'll drop it in my pocket on Christmas day.

All great choices GT!!!What I carry in any given week is primarily determined by my weekly rotation schedule. That schedule doesn't take seasons or time of year into account. The current schedule was set up in late August and will run for 52 weeks; when it runs out, I'll set up a new schedule that incorporates any new knives I've acquired since I last composed a schedule, and then I'll let that one run until it ends, and the process begins again.
I peeked ahead to the week of Christmas, and don't see any knives on that week's schedule that I'd consider very Christmasy. But, in addition to the knives dictated by my schedule, I usually select a couple of "free choice" knives to carry each week as a way of maintaining the tension between determinism and free will!So that will allow me to carry seasonal knives if I want to. Starting next week and continuing through the week of Christmas, and perhaps a week beyond that, I'll try to select some holiday knives as my free choice pair each week.
I'm sure that for Christmas week itself, this gigantic (4.5" IIRC) spear/spey canoe will be a free choice knife:

Other holiday possibilities might include:
a red/green pair of mini canoes

or a pair of red stockman knives

or maybe I'l rekindle memories by carrying some knives I've received as Christmas gifts from myself or others!

I think the forum knife will be a fantastic Christmas carry knife! Might be mine too!!Never had a traditional holiday carry, but if the Forum knife comes before Christmas, I image I will be carrying that a lot soon.
Thanks, Taylor! It's a pretty nice knife too, besides being festive. Canal Street Pinch Lockback, 3.75" with a 3" D2 blade. My wife picked a good one.That's a very festive knife I like it a lot!

Same here but a cadet or pioneer is always on me at Xmas for same reasons. With young kids around there is always zip ties and batteries to install and packages to cut open. Is small to so not offensive to grandmas and others around during Xmas.I don’t think I really have a traditional holiday carry knife, but I’m pretty sure my Victorinox Small Tinker has opened more Christmas gifts, cut plastic ties, broke down boxes, loosened screws on battery compartments, tightened said screws, and who only knows what else on Christmas
