Just thought I'd put two of my "loves" together. :) I recognize a few of y'all from other forums, so this might be fun. I think I started an "everyday carry" thread a couple of years ago, but I'd have to go dig that up.

Your turn! :)

This is tempting me to break out an actual camera and buy a new SD card.

This is the first time I touched my camera in nearly a year! haha! :D And.... I've never quite got the hang of it. Pentax Q. :)

Nice topic...

 

Laguiole en Aubrac and Safety Special 8 de Bayard

 

I've never seen a handle on a Laguiole like that! Very nice. :D

Can anyone post a picture of a Spyderco manbug or mini knife with a pen? Looking to buy something to open the all too frequent packages that arrive and would be interested in the relative size of these knives :)

When I saw it some fifteen years ago at the Laguiole beautiful shop in Paris (close to Place de Vosges), I though of a rattlesnake and could not avoid buying it... I started a very modest knife collection...

They go so well with pens. !!! Thanks for the topic, I am sure many people will add theirs...

I'm not a knife collector, but I love the old slip-joint designs.

Rattlesnake was the first thing that came to mind. :) looks very nice and I love the handle material.

 

I hope to see some more photos soon!

Here's an overview of my pens and knives. I've got other photos uploading.

That would be great, thanks :thumbup:

:) Please excuse the lighting and background. It's almost 10pm here and there's nowhere to take photos except in the kitchen. haha!

The Spyderco Clip-It Tool (top) is just about the same in size as the Man Bug. Mine specifically has the scissors (it also comes with the option of a secondary serrated blade or a bottle opener/flat head). Below it is the smaller Ladybug. :) The pens compared here are the Parker Jotter BP and Hero 616 "Doctor."

 

IMGP1791.JPG

 

Slightly larger. The Benchmade Mini Griptilian (top) and Victorinox Cadet (bottom), compared to the Hero 616. The Cadet is a wonderful tool and quite slim. :D

 

IMGP1793.JPG

 

Opinel No. 7 (top; excuse the tape and markings, I was gonna dremel it down), Case Toothpick (middle), Case Russlock (bottom), compared to a Pilot Prera and Parker Jotter BP.

 

:) Hope that helps a little. I tried to show only my smaller knives and pens that people are more likely to be familiar with.

 

Cheers!

Cheers mooshi - that is indeed very helpful :thumbup:

 

I rather like the cadet, it looks very practical.

The Cadet is a wonderful tool! Slim and practical indeed, with a beautiful (in my opinion) design to boot.

I'm surprised by how many Opinel knives showed up.

 

Here is my Chuck Gedraitis Persian.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
