I carried Case knives as a kid, started carrying Victorinox Swiss Army knives after my father brought me one home
from a Med cruise. For years, I always have two knives on me. One is a Swiss Army knife, usually a pretty good one, scissors,
pliers, wood saw, metal file, and all the rest. Then a "thumb knife" of various types, currently a Benchmade
Griptilian, but often an automatic, since KS eliminated all knife restrictions. If someone has a burning desire to wear
a Claymore or a saber around, come to KS, all knives are legal. Personally....those are a bit large, but I have seen some
fair sized sheath knives worn. An automatic is handy, but HAS TO have a good safety, or it WILL eventually open in
your pocket, which is inconvenient or worse.
I had many of the Case knives, like the Stockman, but as a kid, always managed to lose about one a year.
