Buck is still made in America. I'm not crazy about the steel in the stockman, but you can get the lockbacks in some good steel now. I have been carrying a boker tree brand stockman "4474" type made out of 440C stainless, and its a good knife.

I quit donating pocket knives to never never land years ago.

Is that where all the expensive sunglasses go to ?

yep, and one out of every pair of socks.

My first and only swiss army knife had a single 1 1/2" blade. A great pin knife I used for everything.

Tree brand was best I had owned, lost it and store I bought from quit selling them. Have had several Schrades and Cases, now carry leatherman wave. The first wave I had and lost was excellent, this one now a couple years old is no where in the same ball park as my first one.

the one in your hand.

I carry both of these and use them daily, kershaw has an excellent warranty if needed, never had to send an old timer in since I mostly lose them before I break them.
old timer/uncle henry/schrade, uncle henry is a great daily carry/use, same as an old timer for the most part tho.
the kershaw is assisted open, very handy when you need it in a hurry.
knives plus is a good site to shop, look local for better pricing.

oh, tractor supply and atwoods have the kershaws as well as 3-4 other brands for cheap.

I have had an old leatherman for at least 25 plus years, it's the original, can't tell you how many times it's gotten me out of a bind. Lost it one time for a few Months, then found it when I was cleaning the pontoon. I carry it every day and use it often.

I had one of these on my keychain for more than a decade and it became frequently used at work for very important tasks. It was confiscated by TSA and this was after the rule change to allow tiny blades.

I wonder how many millions of those have been sold over the decades?

That was the standard by which all pocket knives were measured.

I carry one of these cheap Benchmade knives daily Mini Griptilian.

For my off work carry I have one of these Mini Reflex.

I have been carrying Benchmade all of my adult life, I have 7 or 8 of them but I always end up going back to this https://www.benchmade.com/940-943-family.html
In my OHO it is the best EDC knife ever made.

Check out a Leatherman Skeletool multitool. It has the stuff I use, and not much else, so its lighter.

Case XX Trapper. I always have a few on hand and one is always in my pocket. Not very expensive, hold an edge well, easy to sharpen. Good all around choice.
