Show Me Your Favorite Tobacco Knife!

[JKoD]

Usually the pocket knife - sometimes the small fixed blade. I don’t do many plugs at the moment, but we’ll equipped for the challenge.

I prefer having the lock of the Mercator. Though I see they are a bit harder to find now, they were plentiful when I got my pair. I carry the stainless daily and the carbon sits in my desk drawer. Even though the carbon is sharper, I prefer the non-hassle upkeep of the stainless blade for daily use.

it has the same basic construction of the douk douk, but more well executed and with the lockback.

I would prefer the Mercator for the lock too, but Canadians have this dumb thing where we bend over and take it whenever the government says something stupid so... Not having a locking blade is a form of insurance against police sanctioned theft. Pretty sure that Turkish clip doesn't do me any favors, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I used to carry a knife at all times, then I stopped for some reason. Recently however I really could have done with a knife and didn't have one, so now the douk douk lives in my pocket. I'm actually considering a CRKT CEO for an EDC now. Looks like the butt end is perfectly shaped for pipe tamping and the knife appears refined enough to not look like a murder weapon. They make a flipper version too that looks like a perfect pipe tamper, but I'm not sure you can get assisted open flippers in Canada any longer.

This thread makes me want to buy both rope tobacco and black pudding right bloody now..
Also Opinel’s are great, have a few I use at work and will use for tobacco eventually, brilliant edge’s.

Any knife is a tobacco knife in my books.

I just use whatever knife I have in my pocket (and I ALWAYS have a knife in my pocket). I own more knives than I do pipes. Chris Reeve, Rick Hinderer, and Spyderco being my faves!

I have use a Rodgers pipe knife for near 20 years now and own several. They are the best tool I have ever used for shaving down bowl cake, cob or briar.

It’s a throwing tomahawk that I picked up back in my Rendezvous days. I don’t even remember the sutler that I got it from , probably a company called Track of the Wolf. Been close to 30 years ago since I got it.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

I’ve been experimenting with this razor lately for tobacco. Esp. because of its straight edge. Should be useful on plugs.

However, I am not sharpening it to shave ready - too dangerous. We take razor to 12,000 grit for shaving.

Now that's a knoife

 

[Scottishgaucho]

The two knives I usually use are a Normark and Swiss Army. I've had them for years and used to use them when fishing and camping.

You call that a knoife?
