Yellow handled Slimline Trapper here. Probably been carrying it for 15 years. Gets sharper than hell too. One of those is in my pocket right now. EDC for me.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Thanks man.
I'm gonna give those a try as I've ended up carrying WAY too many keys and organization isn't one of my strong suits.

About 30 years go I ordered a Case Sodbuster in yellow Delrin with Chrome Vanadium steel. It came with Tru-Sharp stainless steel. I kept it, mostly in a drawer, but finally gave it a try. The Tru-Sharp was way better than I expected, especially in its ability to get crazy sharp. It's a heavier knife than I want to carry every day, but it has its uses.

Hank aka godogs57 picked this little dandy up for couple weeks ago, 1973 vintage brand new, almost hate using it but that’s what I got er for. Don’t carry very often do to my career, but it’s handy when I’m camping and on weekends... I love the Case Peanut. Funny, I used to think they were too small to be worth a damn. A smart fella told me "It ain't how big, it's how sharp." I tried one out for a bit and found that once you got the thin blade razor sharp, you really didn't need much else.... at least until you needed to process big chunks of meat.... even then you could do it, it'd just be messy. I've got a little pile of Peanuts now.

I have several Case knives. I do the things you are advised not to do with a good knife. I cut wire, open cans, chip ice, drive screws etc. That is why I buy Case. The work and they don't break. When I read some one's list of good knives and it doesn't include case knives I can't accept that person as a knife expert.

I have a dandy Case XXChanger lock back. It has 5 blades you can swap. It has been a wonderful hunting knife over the years. Any corrosion issues from the sheath?

I love em and prefer a size that fits in that small change pocket of my jeans. I find keeping a larger one in the regular pocket kind of annoying so for those I prefer prefer a clip. I keep misplacing one mini in particular. May be sacrilege here but it was white synthetic and I find it beautiful. Had the classic red logo which fell out . I sent it in and they put in a black Ruger logo which was a turn off for me. (No knock on Ruger lovers). Now I can't find it. Again. Hope it turns up. It is a 2-blade and just a little bigger than the peanut which I also have.

I don’t store the knife or blades in the sheath. The little blade slots in the sheath are plastic, so the blades do not lay against leather. The blade steel is stainless anyway.

Never heard it called a change pocket, Hell, a pocket watch Is bigger that a quarter, and one would pull it out by the lanyard. Can't imagine my arthritic fingers fishing a dime out of that little pocker.

Especially a Case Peanut, though some of the 3.5 inch closed knives fit in some of the pockets.

I really like mine, but I can't get it as sharp as I want.... Nowhere near what my fixed blades are...

I don’t store the knife or blades in the sheath. The little blade slots in the sheath are plastic, so the blades do not lay against leather. The blade steel is stainless anyway. On mine the corrosion is coming from the snap on the sheath and the corrosion is on the bolster. I took it out of the sheath years ago due to it. maybe it's a different model as the sheath I have doesn't have plastic separators either.
