I have a serious aversion for the 'tacti-cool" knives.

In general I carry a German Eye, Puma or OLD Hen & Rooster medium 3 blade stockman with Stag handles.

I was in the U S Army in the 70's and 80's.
Many of use carried Buck 100 folders or Swiss Tinkers.
And of course there were assorted KBars to be found.

Still carry a Tinker or Spyderco Dragonfly as a daily blade.

GCBHM ...I never would have thought that there were only 3 of us. :huh:

i dont consider the PM2 to be tacticool

i consider it to be absolutely amazing, it just happens to attract tactical mall ninjas.

My EDC is typically a Case stockman. I like the versatility of having three blades handy. Gives me one for rough work that I can abuse, one for general purpose that usually stays relatively sharp, and one that I seldom use that I know is super sharp all the time should I need it.

I don't like having to dig deep into my front pocket to retrieve it so I may see if I can solder a pocket clip onto it some day so I can carry it like the tacticool knives you are referring to.

I tend to agree, but compared to my Case mid-hunter it is more advanced in the tactical world. I have two of them, though. Fantastic knife! Have you seen the PM3?

Yeah, it's hard to beat the stockman. The clip would definitely make it "tacticool".

These have served me for many years.

Small little 1.5" blades, easy to forget about in your pocket.

My EDC consists of two knives - a Spyderco waved Delica and a medium Case Stockman. The Stockman is used for everyday tasks such as cutting open boxes, stripping insulation from wires, etc., keeping the Delica razor sharp for other duties. Both are carried in my left front (weak side) pants pocket, the Delica set up for tip up carry. The only problem I have with the Case is that I have lost many of them over the years. Without a clip holding them securely in my pocket, they tend to fall out when sitting. Grrr . . .

There is nothing faster opening than a Wave knife in the hands of someone who knows how to use it.

Great knife.

here's my Schrade 897 Uncle Henry made USA [not now]. I loaded up on them before the Chinese began making them.

Is that a 6347 pattern Case?

[ray1970]

Here's the one I have been carrying recently. The stainless blades are beginning to stain and rust and the little Case logo has gone missing. Not a bad knife for a freebie. It was a safety award from work.
