Favorite Folder?

[JK Knives]

I actually have two, the classic Buck 110, (I have at least a dozen, including three from the custom shop that I’ve had for years), and for a smaller folder I like Barlows, have at least six of them, including one modified by glennbad.

Al Mar Sere 2K. Lots have come close, but nothing could kick that one from my pocket for two decades.

I have a small Seb Insingo that was my EDC for a couple of years. Now I switch it up with a Protech Malibu.

I'd pick the Spyderco Delica I suppose. I carry a Spyderco Dragonfly a lot more but if I could only have one the slightly larger one would be my pick. JMOHO, once you get much bigger than that I'd generally just use a fixed blade.

Very partial to the old Gerber Folding Sportsman series lockbacks, thin to carry, thin, slicey, flat ground blade, Very attractive in my mind.

I like slipjoints, mostly. My favorite configuration being a Stockman, and my favorite Stockman being the old Case 6332 in bone, or 5332 in stag. The 63032 that they offer today just isn’t quite the same.

Lately is has been my French aurillac or my Buck 112 slim in g10 and 420 Hc steel.

I got a shchrade scrimshaw barlow I've grown fond of it.

 

[TheZenful1]

A modified Spyderco Tenacious or a Kershaw Emerson CQC-6 and for work, the handy dandy Milwaukee Fastback utility knife.

I know this will sound absurd but I hate pocket folders I prefer a jk in a pocket slip. I need a new jk family pic since gifted the hurley creek which i need to make a slip for but still cant leave my pocket.

Beautiful collection of John's blades, do you have a favorite?

 

[Simplejack]

My elegant kephart. For pocket carry would be the urban edc set.

I'll do another jk family pic this weekend with the gifted hurley creek. I started this venture in 2015 and have acquired a great set of blades from a truly great man. I wish I could have gone to the gatherings or classes. Closest I came was in 2018 driving from ft benning to ft richardson was stop by and see John for a hunter type knife in natural micarta scales with black liners. But schedule put me behind and one of you bought it. I still regret not getting that and the one off pukko type in tiger maple with red liners

sort of want to pocket carry my smaller edc Kephart (?). I like small fixed blades for EDC tasks. The top one.

This needed a bump, I have recently got back from a trip to Chimney Rock, NC, cool trip, and I carried a MAM liner drop point. I posted the same pics in the csrrying today thread. Just cool place and the kn9fe did everything i asked it to do, light and sharp. Nothing fancy with 420, but it has been in my pocket a lot.

Also picked up an old Camilla electrician knife (plastic handles) from one of the antique stores we we went to, really tight springs and hard to open. Working on loosening them up.

I can't single any one folder out as my favorite but I've been carrying my Microtech UTX-70 a good bit lately. It disappears in my pocket and the little boy inside still smiles when the blade fires out......also helps that I can now legally carry it in our state.

 

[cbach8tw]

Hard to say favorite, but I enjoy carrying a new acquisition for awhile, I have my Old Hickory folder in my pocket in a vinyl pouch lately, and it has done the tasks I ask it to do. Fit and finish is rough but I lucked out to get one with no blade play, solidly built. could use some tweaking to make it better.

My day-in, day-out favorite folder is probably the Spyderco Delica. Big enough for some serious jobs but small enough to carry easily in a pocket (and not freak people out if you pull it out in a social setting). I've had many of them, the base VG-10 model is fine for EDC but my favorite is the HAP40 version.
