Archers pocket knife

[Bill from NJ]

Just my 2 cents of advice.  Your milage may vary.

I have carried a Swiss Army SwissChamp for over 35 years.

For me, if it works well.

Since wenger and victorinox merged they don't make the exact model I've carried since I was a younger version....which gives me the chills when I think about replacement time.
I use and love the wenger handyman.
Not too big but has about everything I need.
The little scissors come in so handy.

[Black Hills]

Swiss Army Huntsman for me...  Been with me everywhere, on my hip in a pouch for over twenty years now.

I carry a little Gerber model 500 lock-blade folder in my pocket as well, but if I could only carry one of them, it would be the huntsman.

Man those swiss army knives look clean - I have tried a ton and the swiss is more universal for me.

Fun Fact - most did not know that the outside of the Swiss Army knives can start a fire - just give the corner a touch of a flame and watch. You could light a 6" soaking wet log with just one side of one. (the old red ones anyway)
Won't look the same after you try it but it's pretty neat

I'll have to agree......a Swiss Army knife is very handy. I have a Swiss Hunter and a smaller one, the scissors are a handy thing to have. I had an Officers Model but I don't think they make it anymore.......my daughter lost it on a Girl Scout camping trip.

I carry a leatherman juice s2 everyday no matter if I'm at work or a backpack hunt. I also carry either a Puma or Mora fixed blade for hunting.

As far as my everyday choice for a POCKET knife... another Swiss Army (Victorinox, please) fan. For about 45 years.

Many choices to suit one's taste; I don't go for the big tool kit models, but a comfortable size for the hand, and pocket, with a few very useful accessories. Good steel, good size, and highly functional.

As an aside, anyone ever replace the plastic scales with wood?

[two4hooking]

I'm a little old fashioned.  Skinned and deboned several white tails with the old Barlow.

The AFCK was designed by former Navy SEAL Chris Caracci in collaboration with Benchmade.

I bought one of the minis back in the early 90's. It is hands down the best edc knife I've ever owned.

[J.W.]

I've been carrying a Hen & Rooster for probably ten years now. Just a simple two blade pocket knife, but it gets the job done on everyday tasks.

[Shadowhnter]

All I need for a pocket knife is a Case Trapper. Field dresses a deer just fine.

[huronhunter]

My every day knife is a medium Case Stockman .

[bruinman]

Case trapper. Love them.

[Jon Stewart]

My everyday pocket knife is a small ,flat Gerber lock blade.  It is very comfortable to carry and keeps a pretty good edge.  

If I hit the bush, hunting camp or going shooting I carry my old original Leatherman also.

[Birdbow]

Not long ago I got a locking folder designed by Zac Brown (yes, the country singer) and built by his knife company Southern Grind. Now my 'go to', every day carry.

[Caddo]

I guess I'd have to say the same one that's in my pocket everyday, my 3 blade Old Timer. Skinned and gutted hogs, deer, squirrels, rabbits, cleaned fish, stripped wires, cut string & rope, scraped paint, pretty much whatever I needed it to do.

I've carried a multi tool in my pack hunting and backpacking for over 25 years.  I've use it less than 5 times other than to lift pots off the fire (and you don't really need it for that). I'm not coordinated to enough to use the knife blade as they are not very ergonomic.

What I like is a trapper style knife. I have been using one since I was about 10 to skin what I caught trapping. I have them by Case and Buck.  They both work well, stay sharp, have been very durable and are comfortable to work with.

My pocket knife is a Swiss Army Camper model.  I have three or four of them and usually know where at least one is at any given time.

[Burnsie]

Victorinox Walker/Lumberjack, simple- one nice sharp blade and a saw.

Case XX. Either a trapper, mini trapper, Sodbuster Jr. or Stockman.
