The Perfect Pocket Knife.

My perfect pocket-knife, practically speaking, would be an alox sak with a sheepfoot secondary, but how many layers? This white one is the slimmest I have with a wood-saw.

Take a look at the alox Electrician. Nice two layer SAK.

JK Knives makes friction folders????:eek:

I didn't know, I thought he just did fixed blades. Now I have another new knife to 'accumulate'!

ah yes, the glorious sickness

they look awesome and you can get them with a bottle opener in the rear of the blade.

standard, "scandi" grind or whatever it's called: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/friction-folder.1751131/
custom, full flat grind: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/friction-folder.1751131/#post-20052344

pretty sure you can still order one or more ;)

I had to get one in each grind ("DICKENS" would have to be engraved on blade ground fully flat :))

View media item 10035Great write-up!

As other have said, the hunt continues, but for me there is one that I always come back to and that is this case copperhead pattern. It is very similar in dimension to a trapper, has two blades which I know find to be optimal, a clip point and smaller pen. It has half stops, and the F&F on it, the walk and talk, its just spot on. I really like the copperhead 'feature' that hides the edges of the closed blade stops. I have come to appreciate its dimensions and utility.

Trappers I find to be similar in usefulness and dimension, but I really like having that second smaller blade for situations that require more finness, opening an small package or something like that.

Agree :thumbsup:
Very nice knife :thumbsup:, it qualifies for "The perfect Pocket Knife" as per my current needs for one.
I got one courtesy of @JohnDF GAW :):thumbsup:
(I only wish they would make them with a key ring so I can attach it to my Victorinox Belt clip )

Time to pick it up and give it some pocket time :thumbsup:

The Case Cooperhead is definitely a top contender for me, too.
 
I like this modded SAK. Based on the Vic Compact it is small enough to be unobtrusive in my pocket, it's attractive, it fits my hand, has stainless blades and is overall almost indestructible, and is easy to care for and maintain. However, it not my favorite - go figure.:rolleyes:

Ain't no such thing as perfect. The concept is too task-related. Even the best Remington Bullet Trapper Tony Bose ever made is a poor choice for a black tie affair.

Ultimately it all comes down to preference. Something to keep in mind should you get the urge to tell someone all they need is a _______.

Been enjoying the knife talk and the aging old man talk in this thread - can identify with portions of each. Jackknife, our knife journeys track fairly close - I went from Official Cub Scout & Boy Scout knives throughout the 1960’s to a Buck 301 Stockman in the early 1970’s to a Schrade 108OT Small Stockman in the mid 1980’s to a SAK until the late 1990’s when I went back to a (Medium) Stockman. I still favor a Medium Stockman and carry one or another of them 80% of the time - I just keep rotating back to that combination of blades and they do all I need with the exception of cleaning big game and gamefish. Many other knives were sprinkled in, but the above mentioned had good long rides and served me well. I go on Medicare in one week (but that ain’t old - yet!) OH
