Pocket Knives & Daily Carry Items

[bowhunter1023]

I was a sophomore in high school when pocket knives got banned. We had some issues with the Confederate flag when I was in school. The few black student we had, took exception to it and like rednecks are apt to do, they went whole hog and decorated trucks and had a parade. Well, that lead to a confrontation, which lead to a knife being brandished and there ya have it, pocket knives and Dixie Outfitters shirts out at the same time.

It would, but that’ll never be allowed.... Those days are way back in the rear view mirror

We used to have guns in the gun rack in our trucks when I first started working at NJBell....guys would rabbit hunt the fields behind our garage after work. That would never fly today.

Yup, same when I was in school. Had to be in the rack visible to everyone.

When J was young, he used to carry his flintlock in his horse and buggy.

Two buddies and a teacher used to hunt the land back behind the high school. I can remember them pulling out their shotguns and walking out past the football field to hunt. It was nothing to have shotgun shells in the cup holders and other items left in there after a weekend of hunting with dad. Always, always carried a pocket knife as you never knew when a teacher needed one to cut something.

I got in trouble in the 5th grade cuz i passed out a box of 22 shells to kids in my Lone Ranger gang - we hid them in voids in the brick wall and got them at recess and galloped around the school yard - principal nabed me and they got most of the shells - she drove me home that day and let my dad handle it - i was in school the next day but kinda hurt to sit - just a dumb ass - dang

Sad how we have gotten to the point we are at.

Columbine changed everything. if we had shotguns or rifles visible they just made you take them home and drop them off and come back even in the years that followed.

Not a pocket knife or really an EDC knife except on a hunting trip. This was a Christmas gift from the girls and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite knives. It's scary sharp and holds an edge really well. The handle is comfortable and maintains its grip even when bloody. I've been using it for basic cooking needs and I may snag a wood handled one strictly for kitchen duty. My only complaint is its a little touchy getting it back into the sheath correctly, but not a huge deal at the end of the day. I highly recommend this knife if you're in the market for a new butchering knife or even an everyday kitchen knife.

I own 2 bench made knives now, a mini griptilian that I carry every day and a deep valley fixed I carry for hunting.
I really like them both the pocket knife is easily opened and closed with one hand.
The fixed blade holds a good edge and works well field dressing or skinning.

I love the bench made knives, just not a fan on the pricing. I’ve got an infidel and it’s a sharp, high quality tactical knife.

Nice dig up Jesse! I'll update later.

I have one, they are spendy but the best boning knife I've owned.

This knife embodies the old adage "you get what you pay for". My dad always applied this to boots. As a surveyor, he put the miles on,and comfortable, reliable boots were a must. Even when we were scraping by, he'd spend the $ on his boots. I've owned a host of cheap knives and some are good, some not so much. But all the "expensive" ones I've owned, I still own and use. That said, you can get some cheap, commodity knives on Amazon that are sharp as shit!

I have one of those in the arsenal as well.
Gerber, and a host of others.
Hogue is my EDC though.

Most recent. Nice that we can carry autos in Ohio now.

I'll try and remember to back thus up with pics, but the clip on my Zero Tolerance knife broke a couple of weeks ago. I haven't ordered another one or even carried anything besides my splice kit. Adam loves the scissors and blunt knife.
