This is a miniature sword I made 45 years ago. The blade is from a small file, guard is sterling silver from a large broken serving fork. From guard to end of grip it is Burma teak [returned with me from Thailand], spacer of buffalo horn, another short section of teak and a butt of buffalo horn. It has been sharpened only once and is constantly in use as a seam ripper by my present wife and before that by my deceased wife. The sheath is from an old leather jacket, center stitched and with a belt loop. The pictures are better small .. not in good focus. Polecat

I forgot to add that I also carry a Randall #8 Trout and Bird knife.

Every since I got a victorinox from my father when I was 6 or 7, I've carried one.
I'd feel funny without it in my pocket.

I carry three of these everyday. Two custom knifes, a bird and trout and a Canadian skinner. Swap back and forth according to days activities. Always got the Buck clip on and the Case trapper in my pocket.
Forgot to add but custom knifes made from 8670 CS.
I forge a lot of knives...historic, modern hunting, and kitchen knives. But I only carry one of my knives...Urban Survival pocket knife. It is a fixed blade that fits in my jean front pocket like a carabineer and has a forged lip to open a bottle of my favorite beverage. It cuts hay bales, cheese, and skins hogs. it is always in mt pocket...tippit
Oops I never finished this post. This is my urban survival knife that is the only one of my forged knives that I always carry. It cuts hay bales, Cheese, and opens beverage bottles. Even though it's a blacksmith knife, I don't think it fits in as historic knife

Thats funny! My Schrade 3-blade pocket knife has been with me for 34 years, daily carry. I’ve done everything with it from cleaning my fingernails to skinning deer to eating peaches. Everything gets done with that knife!

There are times that a Swiss Army knife "rides along".

When I'm at my kids houses and someone needs to cut open a package or something and asks if anyone has a knife and there are two or three of us old-timers around it seems we all reach in our pocket and pull out a pocket knife of some sort. None of the younger folks carry one.

Most people only carry a smartphone these days. My closest friends and I, we are carrying much more.
My hunting knife is a Case 2 bladed Stockman, the blades are carbon steel. I got it back in the 70's. I can sharpen it to a razor's edge. I made a Nessmuk style knife out of a steel called "jalloy" , supposedly the same type of steel used for armor plating on WWII Battleships. IT WAS 1/4 " thick, sharp enough to shave with and heavy enough to split the pelvis bone and breast bone on a deer . It now belongs to my son.

I carry a cheap Baladeo jackknife and a cheap Buck Bantam folder. The Buck is a little beat up but its indestructible.
I made this knife years ago and have carried it off and on ever since, not HC but my favorite. It has seen much use since this picture was taken.

I have to say, there are few production knives made in the last 40 yrs that rival the Cold Steel Trailmaster, espeically one of the older ones. First rate steel, first rate construction and sharp as blue- blazes out of the box was the Trailmaster Bowie. Given it's toughness and utter utility I think it's the best camp/ woodsman/ out in the sticks knife ever made at it's price point ( Randall makes a fine knife but they're a lot more money). I had one c. 1980's and I rue the day I sold it.
Mine had a Neoprene rubber handle, is yours a custom handle ? Or are they making them like that currently ?

I like my CS Trailmaster Bowie best for rondy's
