Been on my belt every day for many, many years. I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it for one purpose or another.

I am mostly packing this one nowadays, a Silver Stag with 5" blade. Real handy knife.

1st off I have an extensive collection of knives. I have expensive knifes, less expensive, family heirlooms, and everything in between. I've been carrying knifes since 1964. The belt knife I carried in the USCG saved myself and another crewman's life once at sea. After that episode I NEVER went without some type of knife on me. I really don't like belt knifes, and I don't like heavy pocket knifes. My knife that I carry every day must be able to handle most chores on my 10 acres of land. That requires a good knife. So when I show you the knife that I carry 99% of the time, don't laugh. It weighs 3/4 of an once, it's flat, highly visible, and it holds an edge as good as most blades.
It's a Buck 425. I've had it since 89. In fact if I carry a folder with me or any other knife, this Buck goes along for the ride also. No matter what. They just started producing them again. Feast your eyes on this little gem.

nothing to laugh at .. .. for many years, most of my knives have been and continue to be Bucks .... for the last couple of months my daily carry pocket knife has been a the Buck 284 Bantam ... it weighs .6 oz and has proven to have all of the positive characteristics I've come to appreciate in a Buck ...

What I carry everday

I've got several pocket and sheath knives to choose among, but this 3.25" multi-tool is what I carry everyday. It was a Christmas gift I received about four years ago, and even though it's an inexpensive import, it holds a sharp edge, is well built, and the carabiner quickly and easily slips on and off my belt loop.

Reminds of Maxwell Smart's "Swiss Army Shoe"....haha

The Silver Stag mentioned above has now become my daily user. Comfortable and real handy with that 5" blade.

Thats a really nice knife RR

Is that the mountain edge model RR
