Barlow handle and Case blade, best damn knife ever made...used to be a saying a half century ago. I have Lots Raymond, but I do not carry any that don't lock open any more. I am now a slow healer. Not to be confused with a Blue Heeler.
 
I have carried a Schrade LB7 since '72, still carry on weekends, since the world went crazy i'm not allowed to carry it at work.
 
For the longest time, I carried one of the yellow handled Case trappers. From the time I was a teenager, until I was in my mid/late 20's. It picked up a fair bit of pocket wear during that time.

My father, all my uncles, and all the older fellows I hunted with when I was a kid all carried the same pocket knife. It was Kershaw that finally won me over to the pocket clip knives, and I've carried a Kershaw ever since.
 
EDC old school folder, got me kicked out of school once...

I have a Buck 110 somewhere that was standard issue in the leather EMT belt pouch that used to be all the rage back in the day.

I'm sure @Chuckman and @Sneakymedic remember... I maybe even have the Velcro ADC tourniquet that you wrapped around the outside to let everyone know that you were a true operator... with your 0.025 lumen penlight.

God I'm old....

I LOL'd at that. I had the same one, but in light-colored leather. I still have a couple of those TQs somewhere, too....

Grandpa was a Case dealer when he owned the hardware store. He bought one of everything in the catalog. I’ll get some pics of the big display case he made to show off his favorites.

Funny story I broke my knife helping him around the house. He demand on giving me a knife to replace it. Goes to the back of the case and pulls out a really old case box and hands it to me. It’s a 70s model Texas Lockhorn, brand new leather sheath and original box. I tell him it’s probably worth way to much money for me to take as a replacement for a $50 Kershaw. He demands I take so I get home and look up the value. The next day it goes back in the display case. I’m not carrying that thing around.
 
I have a beautiful Case with engraving on the blade that my nephews gave me when I graduated from grad school. Not sure I can make myself actually carry it.

I have one of those old USGI Camillus pocket knives, never used. Asking big $ on ebay but I really don't think they are worth what people are asking.

I started collecting as a kid in the late 70s. Nothing in particular just what caught my eye and I could afford. Most of the ones in this roll were given to me as gifts for birthdays and christmases. These are the ones that don't have any real collector value to them. I still have a few drawers full of them.

Dad’s Boker that I thought was lost, but I found in a box at mom’s house 23 years after he passed. He carried it as long as I can remember from when I was a tot in the mid ’50’s, till my baby sister gave us Swiss Army folders at her wedding in the late 1980’s.
