While at the county farm auction back in the 70's, an older gentleman called out to me, "let's drop knives".
I said that my knife was junk but, he insisted. He dropped in my hand a case xx whittler redbone three blade. I told him that I couldn't accept but he again insisted.
That is the sharpest knife I ever had. I once cut a fly in half in midair with witnesses. The edge would dull just from
the moisture in the air, I guess, but a few strokes on a hard Arkansas would bring it back to scalpel sharp.

Been carrying knives since I was 6, 76 now. Lost track of different styles, but my favorites now are the Kershaw assisted openers. S30v is my favorite knife steel. Not cheap, but stays sharp for a long time. Also, like CM154 and D2. I am now carrying a Kershaw small carbon fiber handled 3" blade of CM154 steel.

Ran a trapline as a kid - had a Case "Muskrat". Carried that knife through college and the Army. Some time after the service, it disappeared. Replaced it with a stockman whose brand I don't recall, but was never really happy with the quality of the blades. Some time in the mid-80s I got a Buck 55 that's still with me. Hunting, I carry a buck 112

The Buck 112 is a perfect size knife. I have a 55,112, and a 110. I like the 110 but it's a little on the heavy side.

I prefer lock blades or side lock knives; I do not own any or care for liner lock knives.
