I think that one will make JJ here very happy, and help Jan along with her pit carvin' class...

I'm going to a baptism on Sunday, my EDC choice is a #89 melon tester in stag. A knife I just pulled out to admire some, after I got my hands on it I knew it would need some pocket time. So, it will get some.

I'm sure I could get by with using a lesser knife, but why would I. Occasion EDC is a fun thing, the knives I don't normally carry get pocket time.

You're right about occasion, that's kind of what's fun about owning different patterns and going with how you feel about the occasion when selecting your knife for the moment at hand. When I go to a nice dinner, I carry the #89 Melon Tester in Snakewood - hey I know it's not big and heavy, but it is long enough at 4". I think of that knife as a real gentleman's knife, not that I'm a gentleman... And if it's a black tie affair, then it's my very own iKC special factory ordered black beauty #36 all steel smooth buffalo horn, a classy knife if there ever was one. It's nice to see our friend Billy Oneale using a photo of his black beauty #36 knife as his ID photo here!

I agree, I don't take my #73s to a nice dinner, I bring a #56. Occasion has a lot to do with my choice of EDC. Right now, since the temp is dropping, I'll pack a few extra knives along. 

It is good to just discuss knives, I learn from your take on knives and I'm sure someone could get something out of what I have to share. But, our opinions are our's and nobody can really affect that. Thats what makes this place great. 

I look forward to more conversation like this!!!

Now if there were only a way to make some money while doing this here on the site, then I would never log off!

Johhny, you're right it is just a matter of preference and it all comes down to what feels better in hand for each and every one of us personally, like they say, "to each his (her) own." All knives no matter what size only do one thing, cut, but obviously shape and size will affect what it is you're cutting and what it is you're cutting will influence one's choice of blade size and design, along lines of perssonal preference, of course. I'm happy we all enjoy our own knives so much that we take time out of our days to communicate that joy to others here. Spread the joy!

Wow, thats awesome Robert.

It's been a while since I have stick with an EDC for very long. I always end up switching one out for another. My #72 in Red Wine even took a break for a couple weeks. It's touch sticking with one. : (

Hmmm, I just remembered, my brother butchered his deer with Buck fixed blade knives. The big ones, being 119, 103 and 102. 

While I used a much smaller Great Eastern #73. Maybe it's just a mind set and not wether a knife is useful or not for certain chores. Either way, it's nice to see the difference in opinion, thanks for sharing Luca.
