An oldie but goodie. The rest of my knives are handmade fixed blade hunters and Spyderco lockbacks.
I have carried a Case Peanut in my right pocket everyday for close to 20 years, I have never broken one or needed to send one in for repair. I keep them clean, oiled and sharpened, that’s all they need.
Like Rocky I tend to lose knives. :\ I love Case; it's all I carry any more. Stockman, mini stockman, Congress are my favorites. Case had Kentucky Bluegrass scales as a choice for years & it's my favorite. Harder to find these days. Currently I've got 5 of 2-3 models. This one's my current carry.
Used to carry SAK. But found out most everything I do with a knife only needs one good blade. Now I usually carry a drop point frame or liner lock. They deploy fast without assist or automatic release and can be closed one handed. Most steels now days will sharpen easily with diamond stones. Doug Ritter MK1 with custom scales is my favorite.
I have a definite folding knife fetish. Once I bought an upmarket folding knife for a family friend for his 70th birthday, Damascus blade and all, but I've never splurged on one that elegant for myself. I teeter between smaller knives for quick chores and slightly larger for more substantial feel. I like them that lock, but i have both. I have plenty, but I sometimes "fall" for another. I really like carbon steel, though I have carried a couple of stainless steel for years. Case is a great all-purpose knife. They may even have a carbon steel version but I haven't seen that. I think consumers go for shiny stainless steel.
Peanut is Cases’ name for that model. They are not much bigger than a pipe tamper.
Just what I may need,generally speaking, unfortunately we here in EU do not have the same good quality folding knives in large scale than you folks in The U.S all market is flooded by Chinese product, Yes there is Rogers of Sheffield in England and some other manufacturers and of course some rare artisan made upmarket stuff out there
This is one of my favorites. It's a Thiers Chambriard, and the handle is made out of briar. It's brown from cutting tobacco. That'll come off.
I’ve carried a Case sowbelly everyday for nearly forty years, even when I went on deployment. I do keep a Swiss Army around but that sowbelly is my huckleberry.
The old fashioned(s) last night forced me to buy another one. Got a medium stockman in maple.
No problem ordering knives they are not forbidden to import (exempt for stilettos which I do like btw,Lol)
No problem, I could cover Your shipping rates via USPS First Class International and including the price of the knife of course,
My bushcraft selection. Have only used the Morakniv so far. I dont want to dirty my browning
