<p>I mix it up a lot but my current daily driver does not like pocket clips and I don't want to screw up the leather interior!

<p>There was a period when I thought I needed a tactical folder, but they really don't cut any better than a traditional folder.

<p>Like David, I too carried one or more pocket knives all the way from grade school to this day. I gave a speech on how to clean a 1897 Winchester Shotgun in College. No one blinked an eye about me having this shotgun on the campus. After I graduated from Jr. College, I was employed as a LEO so I carried a firearm and knife (sometimes an auto knife) everyday for the last 46 years.

<p>Now we have different times with different influences on our youth. I truly think evil has worked its way into our way of life...starting at the top. We must do our best to battle this evil on election day, school board meetings as well as confronting it wherever it rears its head.<br/> <br/> <cite>David Gallup said:</cite></p>

<p>Seems a good many of us carry a traditional even if we are carrying something more modern to go with it. I have been carrying a whittler for the past few months but that is not unusual, it is a pattern of choice for me. The funny thing is I rarely use my carry knife, it is usually in my purse. More often than not I can be heard saying...Honey can I use your knife?</p>

<p>I grew up on a farm, so having a traditional folding pocket knife was second nature. I would bet that at least 90% of the boys in high school carried a pocket knife. When I was in the Navy, and afterwards as an electrician, I usually had a Gerber lock back with a half serrated blade and a pocket clip. When I retired, I went back to the traditional folder. I have several EDC's. At first it seemed silly to have more than one pocket knife, but after my collection passed 100, it seemed kind of…</p>

<p>All Schrades..</p>
<p>Top row: 804 Whittler factory 2nd...863 mechanics.... 233 jack all delrin handles</p>
<p>Bottom row: Schrade Heritage 2331 brown bone.....Schrade Heritage 8041 red bone factory 2nd</p>
<p>The 863 mechanics is the one that gets carried the most....then the 233's . A 233 Schrade Walden was my first knife at age 7 so it just feels right .</p>

<p>Never anymore without at least one trad, usually two, one larger and one smaller to not scare the "sheep". Usually what most would consider too many, but I like them. I like different knives for different tasks. They also make good "worry stones" to just stick your hand in your pocket and rub. Not too much into moderns.

Do have Twitch II's and Trapper locks whose thumb studs and or clip makes most to consider them "moderns". Had a buddy who mentioned some time back that he was surprised I didn't carry a "multitool". Since, I have added 5 different ones to my collection, but still don't carry one regularly on my person. There is one in the car and others close by different locations. I am adding a Leatherman Micra to my keys though for the scissors.</p>
