If I could only have one pocket knife…..
มุมมอง 5K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I like to collect and carry traditional pocket knives. I have found over the years that the less I like a knife, the more likely I am to actually carry it and use it as intended. High end/ collectible brands are awesome, but have gotten $$$. I have been known to lose knives, chip bone handles, and find pesky rust spots… This is how I ended up with my current carry

Great Eastern Cutlery- Cuban Pen knife
มุมมอง 1.5K11 ปีที่แล้ว
My newest GEC knife- the Cuban Pen. This strikes me as more of a user than a knife to show off, however you could do either. Biggest complaint is the price of $88, somewhere in the high 60s or low 70s is more like it. Big fan of this pattern and i will surely buy more cuban/ cigar frames! Thanks for reading!

    My mostly carried pocket knife is a Sheffield made large stockman. It is a very versetile design.

    I have been using my bear and sons stockman, like yours but a little bit different color, same size, carbon blades for a little over two years and I really like it. I just sharpen and lube it once in a while and it keeps going. I think you will learn to really like it. Stay safe, cheers. 😊

    @matthewrix2164 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Your arguments are sound. The 'one' knife must do everything you want it to do, be cheap to buy and easily replaced, easily sharpened and easily cleaned. In my case that is the Imperial Schrade Sodbuster Junior (Yellow). Slicey enough to cut through 3/4 inch nylon rope in one hit, excellent build quality, fantastically ergonomic in hard and repetitive use, cheap, scrubbed in the washing up bowl without worrying about spalting wood or shrinking bone, capable of shucking an Oyster at a push without developing blade play, a good pruner (develops a recurve over time), pinch opening so you don't have to remove gloves, and..........yellow because the wife hates it 🤣🤣🤣

  • @bdh3949
    @bdh3949 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I would choose a two bladed knife preferably 3.5"-4". Jack knives, Copperheads, Canoes, mini-Trappers, large Pens, maybe a one-bladed lockback. Something that is not to big to pocket but might still carry well in a belt sheath. Either way my preference would probably change after a time as I do get bored with the same features all the time. I did carry one knife for about 20 years but that was before I decided to collect a few more.

    Obviously this is an old video but still entertaining. Nice collection that no doubt continues to appreciate in value. I love GEC knives. It is a conundrum though. What I mean is, they are meant to be used but I find myself hesitant to do so because they are so wonderful and have investment value. I can’t see myself ever parting with any but anyhow you know what I mean. Kudos on your explanations and calm speaking voice. Would appreciate a new updated video on your collection. All of us GEC nuts would like to “geek” out on an update. Thank you sir and enjoy your 4 July 2022. ✝️✌🏼

  • @OLMmedic
    @OLMmedic 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice. What do you think of the 81 2 blade pattern? Do you still carry those particular few most? I love the calf roper 66. I have one and feel like that size carries best. I like to front pocket carry my knives and the larger ones are super awkward.

    • @Cole45
      @Cole45 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the 81 is a great pattern, I really like the moose knives. I owned one in red linen for the longest time and sold it with the idea I would replace it with one in a bone handle material. Have yet to make that purchase. If you front carry and prefer the 3.5” of the calf roper it would probably be too big. I always had to let it sit beside my wallet in my back pocket to be comfortable. Of the knives shown in this video all are gone except for the 15 and 73. Those are my go-to carry knives. I regret getting rid of the 53 the most, but you know how that goes. Thanks for watching!

    The backsprings can't sit flush on the 48 pattern because the height of the knife isn't great enough to allow for then to remove enough material off of the tang to allow for flush fitment while maintaining the blades structural integrity.

    I agree on the blade etching thing. There are many Tidioute knives that I love the look of but just will not buy because of the gaudy blade etch. It really does make them look like a novelty or carnival knife to me. Love the cap lifter designs, hate the Cap lifter graphic on the blade.
