No idea. For all anyone knows. Someone cleaned a deer with a new knife. Left it bloody and decided to throw it in the lake. Or it lost off a boat after cleaning a fish. Taking the time to close the knife.

You should've saw it when I found it. Moss encrusted with a funky funk all over the knife. Which was biological in origin. I thought it was rust at first but it wasn't rust.

The scales are stabilized wood. Had a white tail deer motif on the side. If it was only an American made knife and not a Chinese.

I've carried a buck for years. Couldn't tell you the model number but it has about a 3.5" blade and it works for all my needs.

I have close to 20 of those and the original Uncle Henrys new in the box. Grew up carrying them

I carried a Case trapper for many years until I went to buy one to replace a lost one. Saw on the box that it was made in China. Kept looking around the display case and found a slightly larger 2 blade trapper style, brand is “Moore Maker”, from Matador, Texas.

Been carrying this knife daily for 2 years and have been really impressed with it. More expensive than a Case, but it’s made in the USA.

Spyderco for last 15 yrs or so.

IMO the best pocket knife is a sharp one. You can carry any brand and no matter how much coin you dropped if its dull it's worthless and dangerous. (Sharp = shaves the hair on your arm)

Kershaw AM-4. Al Mar design. Assisted opening. Only about $30 on Amazon. So if I lose it (and I've lost a couple), it's not the end of the world.

Trust, all of mind are run over a strope. I can't do that sort of sharp thing. It's gotta be all it's gonna be. Proper sharp. With attention paid to the edge.

I don't carry a construction knife.

Hen & Rooster.

Generic AO flip knife right front pocket (clipped)

A good buck is hard to beat.

That's what my ex said?????

I didn't realize we had so many old timers in here.
I don't know anyone under 60 that carries a pocket knife. I'd be curious to know what the percentage is, I 'm guessing over 80%

I'm in the "over" range.
