Well I've got quite a few knives and pipes too. I just grabbed a nice Mastro de Paja pipe that I like and put the three knives I use the most with it. I always have the little Swiss Army knife on my keychain with me as it has a very sharp blade with some other tools that are useful, but around the house I use my Sheffield lock back utility blade knife and my Opinel folding lock blade knife more than any others.

Love my Opinel knives.....and Mora.
Don't let anyone say you can't get a GREAT knife for under $20. :)

Fixed blade Friday for me.. Busse Scrapyard WS1021.
For all the love Busse gets for their steels and build quality and guarantee, their edges are inconsistent from the shop. I had to put a new edge on it (20°) and took it up to just 1K grit. I could do surgery with it now.. if I had to. Knife Knerd alert- this is their SR101 steel which is very similar to 52100 plus their patented heat treat/temper/quench song and dance. Sadly, SR101 was discontinued in October of 2022.

Not custom, but affordable puukko from Juha Perttula. Almost forgot I owned the thing till someone said puukko. Pipe is a Philip Trypis egg with Cobblestone Kentucky Plug. Old Grand-Dad Bonded with a trio of Luxardo cherries on the rocks. God I love Fridays !

Well honestly, who NEEDS another knife ? :ROFLMAO: Juha's blades are interesting because the spine is 50HRC, but he hardens the edge to 63HRC.
