Update- That was a good move. Had barbecue at Hog Fathers rr on the way by last night.
Just sayen...
I really like that knife man, turned out real good. Hard to beat the design of an original Buck blade. That’s what it reminds me of, the old buck folders. New age look on a solid design.
Jim, Lmao!!!

Dave you nailed it! My first real knife was a Buck 110 that my dad gave me back in the mid 70's. Back then when my mom and dad would leave the house I would get it out of his sock drawer and play with it lol.
The ZT has held up pretty good to the pounding I’ve been giving it. It was the right tool for the job! I would suggest it to anyone working construction that really beats on a knife.
Another daily carry I have added is a pen in my pocket. I’ve gotta randomly fill out paperwork during the day. I move from piece to piece of equipment and have to document inspections. Gel pens suck for this. A standard cheap ass cap style bic seems to be the way to go. It’ll bend when I pick up heavy things against my leg, doesn’t break. No dry time to the ink. I can write on my gloves with it. It just works and who cares if I misplace it. Same reasons I carry one with me hunting.
Yes, I just talked about a pen. I know many of you also carry one...this is a subject even you desk guys can get on topic.
what do you prefer?

Yeah, bout that time to make a kydek holster for my knife. I lost my favorite leatherman. So, I'm gonna make one for my knife in honor of my dad.
Thinking about making something like this inner waist band....

Honest to God, don't laugh...
As of 2 weeks ago, I'm rockin' a pocket protector.
I bought a dozen on Amazon to give to some engineers at one of my customers as kind of a gag, but started using one myself and it rocks.
Black pen, red pen, deburring tool, sometimes pencil, and a black comb (for my beard).
When I get home it goes on the special little hall table next to keys, wallet, phone, and is ready to go when I'm ready to go.
I've taken a raft of shit and razzing about it..thankfully I am of the age I don't give a shit.
I'm thinking I'll start a retro trend,
Sitting in there with my mind turning I pulled my knife out to clean my nails. I wasn’t doing anything so I decided it was time to get the concrete and mud out of it. It got the full cleansing and even got some oil for the first time! Still very happy with this Zero Tolerance product.

I did a quick search and didn't find a thread, so figured this was a good a spot as any. What are you all carrying everyday for a wallet? I'm looking to go from a back pocket bifold to something to carry in my front pocket. Sitting behind a computer all day and on a mower all evening i'm constantly taking my wallet in and out to keep from being uncomfortable.
I carry a bi-fold and it generally goes in my lunchbox when I’m at work. I have so many cards that I have to carry for work/fishing/hunting that it’s easier for me. I’ve done the front pocket thing before phones were the size of computers. Just grew out of it with my line of work.
