What’s yall’s favorite pocket knife?

I like my Opinel.

Kershaw speed assist.

 

EDIT: My philosophy is that a knife should be able to be opened with one hand

 

Just a simple Buck, 3 blade. I've had this one for about 7-8 years.

 

It replaced the Remington 2 blade I'd carried for years but disappeared from "holy" pockets.

 

 

 

An old cheap Barlow.  The scales are gone and it has been sharpened so many times it sometimes stabs me when I reach in my pocket for it.  I have a new one but it has no character. 

I've carried an Uncle Henry 3 blade (much like Dave's above) for probably 35+ years. It's been replaced twice and the one I have is the last one I guess. Uncle Henry went under, though I think someone bought the name and is using it again. Prior to the Uncle Henry I carried a Buck that was like the one Dave shows above.

I have always preferred a single glade knife. Over the years I have owned Puma, Case, Old Timer, but my current knife is a 3" blade Buck that is currently about 2 3/4".

 

Like any other tool, I tend to have far more knives than I need.

 

Favorite remains a Case hunter pattern:

 

It's a bit large for a pocket, but slides into a back pocket nicely.  Found it in a tacklebox of my late uncle's.  I'm the closest thing left to a fisherman in the family - I don't live near enough to any water to actually do it much, but I would if I did.  Pretty sad really.  Anyway, it's a carbon steel knife so it was rusty when found, but some scotchbrite fixed it right up.

 

I've found Chinese made Rough Riders to be surprisingly good knives.  With a stropped edge, the stainless takes a good edge and they are (or were?) cheap enough to not worry much about using them.  I have occasionally turned a loose slotted screw with one of those until I could get my fingers on it.

I don’t generally carry this one as a pocket knife, but I use it for rope work.

Depends on which pants I wear. My everyday go to town is a Case yellow handle. Shop right now is a SOG but did for a while carry a Buck with it. In my shop apron is a Buck. Yes I have carried and still have a Old Timmer and a Case Peanut ( while I was working) . Just cannot understand anyone who does not carry , OH yeah I carry one of those too.

I have an Italian navy version of that knife.  I would prefer the Camillus version on the whole, but often inexpensive surplus proves too tempting.

Very nice knife you have there!

I have been using this Gerber for about 10 years
