Hobbs, Where did you purchase. That is beautiful.

I tend to switch around, but the last couple weeks it's been a Case Sodbuster in CV steel.

Purchased several years ago from a guy in Bar Harbor, Maine. Quality German steel knife for a very reasonable price. They're hard to find and he's out of them right now (if you try to add to cart and it shows cart empty, he's out). He does seem to get a few each year. Maybe shoot him an email or call. His contact info is in the about us tab. I've ordered several times over the years and never a problem. Interestingly, he's always sent along a P38 or two can opener with each order LOL ... http://www.baryonyxknife.com/frdiclgeloha.html
EDIT: The Olive wood was a lighter color when new but darkened with use, occasional light oiling and hand rubbing. OH ... and although about the size of a Buck 110, it does not come with a sheath. Because of the wood handle and headless (no bolsters), it's light weight though and the shape rides the pocket nicely. Stainless steel liners make it a very sturdy knife and I like that it isn't necessary to have a nail nick on the (pinch lockback) blade. Very sleek. It's worthy of a custom leather sheath should I ever desire one, but it jeans pocket carries just fine. Few times I've briefly needed a sheath for it, I've just used one I have laying around.

Thanks, I will check it out.

Just started carrying my Ken Onion Leek from the sale before Christmas. This little thing is a pretty nice little blade.

Gave my son one of those in the blackwash finish with composite blade. Should have gotten two in that sale.

I've actually been carrying a folding utility knife for the past several months.
A Gerber EAB that I added a serrated blade.

I don't feel bad cutting on random stuff and worry about damaging my edge.

I like that. Where did you find the serrated blade Nismo or did you create it?

I'd long considered a Gerber EAB but after much consideration and research, settled on a WORKPRO and have three somewhere between here and the kitchen.

Well, that and this Schrade+ SS1 folding lockback with built in carabiner clip that I've had since the early 80's, handle some of my "cutting on random stuff".

I got the serrated blades from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Rapid-E...utility+knife+blades

They do great on cardboard and things like rope.
I love the EAB, they fit great in the small 5th pocket of a pair of jeans.
They are supposed to be designed to also double as a money clip, but I found the clip to be way too tight to hold a few bills.
I supposed you can bend the clip out some, but I'm afraid that the clip would pop off and break, so I never bothered using it that way.
