Who carries a pocket knife on them?

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

Thanks for the leads. I’ve emailed Dawson Knives and will wait and see. This all could add to my addiction list, this time for the elusive perfect knife.

I will have a Swiss Army in my left pocket, along with a spare magazine or speed loader, change, ect. The right pants pocket is reserved for either a Smith & Wesson Model 638, or one of two .380 ACP semi-autos, all carried in a proper pocket holster.

Hi Guys, I carry a Leatherman on my belt on the right side. I only wear Wranglers' cause the belt loops let me position it just 'ever so.' Levis don't work. The tool I most use is the Phillips head screwdriver, by far.

I have accumulated quite an assortment of knives over the decades, but most of them spend most of their time in drawers. I usually carry one of the three knives shown in the picture, unless I'm going someplace like a doctor's office.

I usually carry quite a bit of stuff with me: sunglasses, two pairs of clear-glass trifocals, a flashlight, my wallet, and more. I carry them in a fanny pack (worn in front, not on my fanny). I usually keep the knife at the top of the picture in my fanny pack.

This is a Swiss Army Knife made by Wenger (before they were bought out by Victorinox) for Porsche Design. I think Wenger had slightly better quality than Victorinox. The thing I like most about this knife is that it has a screwdriver for eyeglass screws.

Since even this little knife is forbidden on commercial airplanes, I remove it from my fanny pack before such trips. I keep the knife at the middle of the picture in my toiletries case so I always have it on such trips. One unusual feature of this knife is a ball-point pen, which you can see (barely) on the right end of the knife. I have actually used that pen once in a while.

The knife at the bottom is by William Henry. I carry this knife most of the time. As a knife, it's no better than many knives costing far less, but it's beautiful, and I'm very fond of it. I think of it as guy jewelry.

I also keep multi-tools in my fishing vests. One of them is by Herter's which I have had for most of my life.

I have one in my pocket (Flissa, an inexpensive knife since I am always afraid of losing the pocket one), one in my briefcase, and one in my truck.

I use the small victorinox minute manager as my main EDC. It does just about everything and has a flashlight. I also bring my spyderco native salt often because its steel is impervious to rust, even in salt water.

My Buck Custom is in my pocket every day, although when Hunting or Camping I may switch out to a bigger Grohmann.
I also have a Leatherman Squirt in my vest.
That little wire cutter will save your day if you stick a hook in your hand.(one time in 60 years of fishing lol)

I’ve carried a Swiss Army knife since 6th grade and particularly the Deluxe Tinker model as it has the pliers (favorite part!) along with scissors. Never leave home without it!

I carry a Gerber Crucial knife/multi-tool that my wife bought me years back. I turned around and bought a spare...just in case. I use the darn thing at least once a day. My custom made Damascus belt knife goes with me on hunting/fishing trips as well.
