Something is happening to me. I sold almost all my folding knives,
and took the old classic puma (1 quarter 1977) and fully satisfied,
despite the fact that the knife very used smile

When the knife looked like this last photo
(photo from the site Puma collector)

And now I'm addicted to the Douk-Douk))
When first started using, it covered with a patina.

I have a used one and recently purchased a new one off ebay from a lady in Germany. About $150 less than used one here in the US. Fast shipper, gorgeous knife, high quality.

I currently live in town so for in town everyday use, I like a pretty thin, small pocket folder type pocket knife.. Something almost silly small. I don't wanna feel it bulging in my pocket. Good enough to cut string and slice tape kinda knife.

Going camping in general, hiking even in what could be a popular trail deep into a national park or even to a friends cookout at a camp site on the river, then the knife choice gets changed in size and style pretty quickly depending on venue.

Sometimes I admit I've taken something like a Randall 14 on my side on a hike not expecting to have to use it but as a backup. If I do it's probably against a bear and I presume the bear will win, eating me and my number 14.

You're taking the wrong knife. For such a situation you need a 12-8 Bear Bowie crazy

For everyday small tasks I decided to take something more beautiful than my beloved Stanley 99e (I gave Douk-Douk for a girl, her liked he because of his ease). I decided to take the model B30 from William Henry, ~ 3 1/4 inch blade, small, easy. He is still on his way when he arrives, I will show him for you, but he looks just like this photo. Does anyone else use them?

Desert Snake and Steve-

Those are true gentlemen's knives. Elegant, simple, and not likely to alarm gentle people if you happen to use them in public.

Carried this B10 Lancet with a 2 5/8" ZDP-189 Blade for a time 6 years ago. I thought I had lost it, found it this past trash day when I threw out the old recliner. My wife's words right before I took it out....make sure you check it before you leave it at the curb. It has always paid off when I listen to her, still does obviously.

1 found, many more to still find.....that's why I now prefer pocket clips on my folders.
