CF Chaparral.. Haven't pocketed thisun in a while!! :o John :)

CF S90V millie, SE H1 spyderhawk, and native 5 SE LW

Talking about that millie yesterday made me want to carry it today and it worked perfectly for my steak at lunch.

What's in my pocket? This!

I am in Estes Park, CO today so I decided on my Lil' Lionspy, Orange Dragonfly, Manbug, and PM2. :)

how many pockets do you have? :)
I never carry more than 3 knives.
Today only my 2013 N5, Memory and Jester.
I am jealous about the park.

I use to say that until I actually counted.

1. Millie clipped to pocket.

2. Ladybug on a keychain or attached to a AAA light in a pocket.

3. Multitool in a pouch. 2 blades on most of them.

4. SAK in a leg pocket.

Of course you have to have Army pants or 5.11 type shorts for this to work.

For me today it's Cruwear Millie action.

Why, just a few fewer than Doc Snubnose. :p I used my Orange Dragonfly to make PB & J sandwiches for our lunch today whIle at about 12,000 ft. That little blade works surprisingly well for sandwich prep! :) Tomorrow, I'll switch off to my PM2 when we take a horse trail ride through the Rocky Mountain National Park. The weather should be clear, so I'm hoping to see more wildlife.

I'm back around to carrying my Southard. It's such a brilliant knife.

Same as yesterday...

Working on the yard. Just my dark green Native5. It such a good knife.

PITS :D

How does it perform ? Same say it's too thick behind the edge and not a good cutter

Well, unfortunately that's somewhat true, but it's also relative to what you're comparing it to. So, compared to a Caly 3/3.5 or a Kiwi 4 or especially a Nilakka, it's quite thick behind the edge. But, compared to my ZT 0303, it's not bad. The problem is that it's a pretty thick blade and doesn't have much height from edge to spine, so there's only so much room to transition into the spine. I've used it to cut a lot of cardboard, and it's not terrible at it, but there are definitely better slicers. But, again that's relative to what you're used to using, since even the Caly/Kiwi/Nilakka are thick compared to some regrinds and customs. I will admit that this knife has a lot more appeal to me than just all out performance.

I haven't carried this PM2 in a while, and today I got that wow-this-is-the-best-knife-ever feeling again when I grabbed it. The SE Native tags along IWB on most days.
