Pocket Knife

[MRH]

I've always carried a pocket knife, a habit I picked up from my Granddad, Dad, older brother, and all the boys in my neighborhood growing up. On my street, a boy without a knife was considered ghey. That's what we would call a guy who did not have a knife in their pocket.

I've collected them all my life too. Folders and fixed blades. I have a few.

For the majority of my life I have carried the more traditional folders like Buck, Case, etc...but over the past year or so I've been carrying a USA Kershaw Scallion, Ken Onion design. I love the size and shape, and it is a very handy little knife. Super smooth. I gave my Dad one for Christmas last month because I like it so much. I think he likes it too. He's been carrying it everyday.

Same here. Grandfather gave me my first one when I was 9, told me not to cut myself and laughed when I did. Told me not to ever leave the house without a pocket knife, handkerchief and folding money. When I had to give the first two of those things to my future son-in-law, I knew she'd be moving back home in a year or two. Took 18 months.

I have almost an identical experience. Grandad gave me a folder when I was a kid. Explained how it would come in handy. Carried one ever since.

Got a case my Granddad gave me but I don't carry it or a gun.

Dad gave me my first one when I was 5, a Boy Scout knife. Been carrying a knife ever since. Carried a Buck 110 folder in the sheath on my hip in high school but that was the 70’s...

I carried a case shark tooth in a sheath or in my back pocket, that was in the 80s in high school.

Navy issue Marlin spike. Great when the Scouts tie a crazy knot.
