I like this one : Swiss Dagger

I was cleaning out the crawlspace in a new house once and I found one of these knives, in considerably more "used" condition, along with a walking cane with a carved eagle head. I had some interesting theories about the previous tenant!

Ended up donating the knife to the local military museum as it turned out to be a legitimate WW2 item and I had neither the skill nor time to restore it. It was notable because it still had the etching clearly visible on the blade and apparently knives of that era had their etching defaced after a certain point, so the fact that whoever owned it kept their etching made it rare. It was in otherwise terrible condition. I had planned on keeping it but people kept giving me weird looks whenever they spotted it on the wall and well, some conversations aren't worth having!

I use it for cutting plugs.

A Victorinox Floral Knife, inexpensive and surprisingly well made for $17.00.
Sharp and easy to maintain single grind sheepsfoot blade, with blue handle to make it easy for me to find.

What kind of lighter is that?

 

[lightxmyfire]

My Higonokami slices through dense plugs like 3Ps, Mick McQuaid, and in this case GH dark plug with ease.

I have one of these too! It’s what I use for all my plugs. Excellent knife, simple, functional design and great price.

IM Corona Old Boy.
I normally prefer wooden matches, but, when I need a lighter I reach for one of these most often.
I have had these for 20+ years and had good luck with them.
l like the built- in tamper and the adjustable angled flame.

Thanks! I use matches, a pipe Zippo, and the occasional Bic. That's a good looking lighter and I like the built in tamper.

Recently I’ve been carrying and using this... it’s a great knife.

Benchmade Hidden Canyon. I originally bought it because I thought I really wanted an edc fixed blade. Turns out I don't. ? Now it sits on the tobacco shelf and cuts plugs. It also goes out and skins Rabbits. Haven't drawn a tag for it to skin anything bigger yet.

Where did you find the Damascus blades?! I've only ever seen the standard which is what I have. I love the look of Damascus.

A British firm called Heinnie Haynes. They have thousands of blades, from all over the world. Great delivery too, everything I’ve brought arrived the next day without extra charges (in UK)

Love Opinel knives, I’ve gotta get on of those, beautiful. Thanks

GEC or Benchmade.
Here's one I got on a recent trade that I didn't know I needed until I had it in hand (usually not a multiple blade guy).

For the last 5 years of smoking I used my hands to prep all pressed tobacco, including rope, my effort to pay homage to such tobacco''s history.
