Okay, long fuse on this one-- I just realized that I do (often carry a Stockman), a Calf Roper from GEC.

After reading ahead of time of others' filing down the kick on the sheepsfoot blade to render it more comfortable in-handle when using the other blades, I did the same soon after mine arrived.

The blades have now seen more use....

It carries lighter than it is, the blades are thin and slicy yet substantial, with easy pulls (no half-stops)-- just a pleasing, do-it-all package.

Plus, there's this:

A very nice knife, Mike! My preferred blade combination.
This one is a 64047 from '72 with turkish clip main blade and has a punch, too. But no sheepsfoot thought :(
Even with four blades you can't have it all :)





 
Sarah, your pictures are outstanding. I really like the picture with the licorice :D Very cool

There are many terrific looking knives in this thread...
 
Been looking high and low for a missing Jack Knife (I know its around this house somewhere!) In one of my cubbie holes I rediscovered a 4" Stockman that I had purely forgotten - a dark green bone FIGHT'N ROOSTER. OH

I started off carrying them a lot: CASE, Böker, Buck, Imperial, RR, Queen. But then I moved more towards two blades or single bladed knives. I like the pattern greatly but don't seem to carry them much now and when I do it's invariably the small yellow Buck 300 - such well-made simplicity! The 'car knife' is a serp Medium CASE though, I reckon it's best to have three blades for the open road:D
