I'm distraught..same knife I've had for 10+ years..I have another around somewhere..i bought a couple at once..but don't remember where the F i put it..

Sweet! Thanks man! Maybe I'll buy a couple more. I find it's getting harder to find a minimalist, metal frame folder lately, everything's going to composites, which is nice, but i like a little weight in my knives. I found mine yesterday in pile of old boxes i was cutting up..WOOHOO! and i found my spare.

Is this serious? You think less of a man if they don't carry a pocket knife? If I had the laughing face emojis you'd see about 12 of them
It is the area that a person is from. Around here its a common thing. In the country it is a must have. Hunting, fishing, working, cooking.
Where i grew up a boy got his first pocket knife around 8-10, nothing fancy, just enough to teach some responsibility. Mine was an old single blade bone handle folder. Almost all my friends had a pocket knife ON them in school right through 8th grade...this was early 90's. I think a little less of a man who doesn't carry a pocket knife..and fold up key chain knives don't count.
Its still that way around here except taking them to school. Its just a thing to have a pocket knife. I even keep a couple extra in the car for trading around. I'll trade a cheaper knife up a few times and then when I end up with something decent I put it up. I got a couple old steel ammo cans full of pocket knifes.

I made this from a very old chef knife. The blade was longer and wider. It is old high carbon steel. It was a black looking steel. When I worked and cut the blade down and cut a new edge the fresh metal didn't look right. I took a bottle of gun blue and coated the blade. The tip is rounded for skinning. And of course an added gut hook.

That was the most imoportant knife you could ever have in the 80's and 90's. Scraping your pipe was very important back than. It was the only way to survive.
