Model 89 - Gambler, Executive Whittler
I've had this knife for a little over a week and I love it. It is slim, so it is unobtrusive in my pocket. The blades are suitable to most light duty work. I use mine everyday to eat, cutting meat & stabbing at fruit cubes.
This pattern is most definitely the best fit for my occupation and lifestyle. Not to mention it is in my mind very elegant and stylish. We all look for a quality in a knife that endears us to that pattern, I have found that pattern. I still have love for the Geppetto and Case Seahorse whittlers, but the "Melon Tester/Gambler/Executive Whittler" pattern is going to be my favorite.
Am I alone in this? Or is everybody else into the hard use patterns.

Actually I'm into "lighter" use knives for EDC. I like small jacks and pens.....one of my all time favorites; Peanut.

I've a few peanuts but I find them to be too small for my liking. I even tried to carry the small toothpick, but to no avail I prefer a longer blade.

While I prefer to use a larger whittler for crving, I carry a 3 1/2" RR whittler in my pocket, that I use for the other duties that come my way.
