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.

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

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.

Solicitation of your personal opinions.
What is the best multi-blade pocket knife - brand, model, etc?
Looking to replace much used, loved and now lost Swedish pocket knife my grandfather gave me +60 years ago. Spent half this long weekend in internet searching and couldn't find anything really close to what I lost.
Entirely separate question with nothing to do with my 1st question. What is the "most useful" Swiss Army Knife?
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. https://kershaw.kaiusa.com/oso-sweet.htmlhttps://www.knivesplus.com/OLD-TIMER-KNIVES.HTML

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've carried a pocket knife for many years, mostly three blade types. My current one, cause I've lost a few, is a Schrade Uncle Henry. 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 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.htmlIn 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.
