    For just out an out usefulness the Gerber Curve has won that hands down for me. Small enough to put on a keychain, but has incredibly useful screw drivers and a blade.

    Stolen pics from the web.

    knife finally came in from ebay, ive been carrying it most of the week. totally surprised with the size and sharpness. its nice having a pocket knife to use, I may buy a smaller one if I find this is too big long term, but its sweet.

    There are actually two versions of his Bike Tool (I've had several examples of both), the second just came out last year called the Wheelman. His captive bit stuff is also very bike-friendly.

    PocketTool used to make a cool ti one called the Mako. But then Leatherman bought them and stopped producing them. They are still available on Amazon. I have one, it is handy but not perfect.

    Columbia River Knife and Tool makes some interesting things. They have a lot of designers creating things for them. I sense that some designs may not be as functional as they are interesting or clever. A while ago I got a knife from them called the K.I.S.S. as in the famous acronym. It is a strange knife. Asymmetric blade with on side flat and one side beveled. Mine has a combination straight and serrated edge. It actually works very well and it isn't that difficult to sharpen. I used to carry it every where and used it for a lot of things, many of them I probably should have used it for. But it proved to be durable enough. Then when the TSA thing started, I stopped carrying it. And then I lost it.



    So I got another one from Columbia in a different design. More of a traditional lock blade but in all metal. It is called a Squid, I guess because of the shape. The one thing I don't like about it so far is how difficult it is to close. The KISS knife I could open and close with my thumb, but perhaps that's the result of the open sided design. Anyway, the company says the knife will get easier to open and close with use, but the locking mechanism should stay solid. I think I should have gotten a version with nylon handle cover, because stainless is ice cold in the winter! But it seems like a nice knife. And right after getting this, I found the KISS knife sitting in a box in a desk drawer. Huh.



    There is a new knife out from them that looks cool. It is a bit large for a pocket, but it is nice looking so who cares. The Torreya.

    The CRKT K.I.S.S. Is my go to. Very small, thin, and a true one hand operation. I have a couple actually. image-2373381447.jpg It is small though. I have a few others that I carry if I think I might need a more substantial blade. image-1265635324.jpg image-3586721900.jpg
    The Gerbers are nice and fairly cheap. I don't feel bad abusing them. I also have a Case that was my grandfathers, and a Benchmade that will be my sons. Those don't get pulled out very often.

    Here is one of my CRkT knives. It's more complicated than a knife should be and the steel isn't great, but it makes up for all of that in coolness.

    I just sent an inquiry to Mr. Morris about this model. Reminds me of an old knife my grandpa had, with the addition of that signature tang.

    This is the pocket knife I have had the longest. It's a spyderco ladybug. Tiny little keychain knife.


    I got this one to replace it because it came with scissors and a little clip on the back. Actually the scissors kind of suck to the point of being almost useless. But the shiny finish is nice.

    I've wanted a Buck 110 for years. I arguably have better knives (or at least newer designs and better suited for my uses), but it's a pretty iconic classic. Well, low and behold my wife handed me one for my birthday this year.



    Pretty cool. But, I wear jeans with deep pockets, and I'm not a belt sheath kind of guy, so I added a little mod with a pocket clip. The trend towards deep carry clips makes for a low profile, but not the easiest access. I set this one up to be well proud of the pocket and allow easy access to the rear bolster.


    Not one to leave well enough alone, I went back today and added a thumb stud and a scale/ bolster relief for access. Works like a .

    So what is the charge for these upgrades, and where should I send the 110 that I have had kicking around since the 80s?

    I'll probably leave it as is. I have several choices that are already set up with a clip. That looks pretty nice, though.
