Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What Kind of Watch do you wear? What pocket knife do you carry?

Garmin 235
Leatherman skeletool cx
Ralph Lauren horween wallet

All were gifted to me. And have been well used and abused but held up wonderfully

I might change knives occasionally. But always come back to the skeletool

Damn, we may be lost cousins! I ran that exact combination for years, still carry that exact knife. Actually have 3 of those knives, 2 back and 1 FDE. The knife is an H&K Espionage model made by Benchmade (Big 5 sold them exclusively I think). Daily watch is now one of 2 different Tag Heuers. My “dress” watch is a Hublot Automatic Chronograph.

either a Timex or a Swiss Army

Several watches depending on use
General use a Rolex Submariner
Time changes a Nomos GMT
Traveling a Breitling Navitimer
Hunting etc a Luminox

I have several Benchmade knives and always carry one of them.

Timex with a velcro strap. A 3 1/2 inch blade Lakota Lil'Hawk made in Seki, Japan (a gift). A Gerber multi-tool. A 6 inch crescent wrench.

no watch ,to old to care what time it is. buck 3 blade stockman I have had 40 years

My everyday knock around, hunting, work outdoors, etc., watch is an inexpensive Casiio, which, two years ago replaced my 21 year old Swiss Army watch.

My pocket knife is a 72 year old Camillus Stockman my father gave me many years ago when I was 12. The stag scales are worn smooth but it is still razor sharp and "walks and talks" like a new one. I can not even imagine the dozens of hundreds times I've used that knife for every kind of "cutting" chore imaginable.

I have a nice wrist watch I've had many years. I wear it for social occasions, dinner engagements, parties, etc., and always wore it to the studios when I was there pitching stories to producers, etc. It stays in the safe when I'm not wearing it, but every couple of days, I take it out and wind it.

In the tiny rural town in North Arkansas were I grew up, there was a very large man about 40 years old, a rather rough hewn fellow, who was sometimes asked, "Hey, Ralph, can I borrow your knife a minute?'

He'd answer loudly, "Hell no! I ain't carried a knife since I got big enough to kill a man with my fists."

Depends on the day/event, but it varies from Raymond Weil, Seiko or Movado.... Knives are nearly all Buck...

Hank

I wear a Skeletool everyday for work, along with the ratchet, tools and a Streamlight. Been this way since 2012.

Watch: Casio Illuminator, longer band, watch compass on band,
Knife: Benchmade Osborne Reverse Tanto,
Multitool: Leatherman Charge+,

I wear a Rolex that was a gift from the wife, and it's awkward selling it and getting something cheaper. My EDC knife is a Buck Slim Hunter with a pocket clip. They are light but tough.

Before I started depending on the phone, I wore a Casio.
It had the features I liked. Slim profile, quality for price, both analog and digital display, easy view hands and numbers, earth tones. The big honkin digitals that have been the style get banged up and caught on everything. I like mine, but somehow lost it or it was stolen in the past couple break ins.

As for blade?
Today it was a rare microtech.
Yes, an answer to prayer from many years ago.
Yesterday was an antique Swiss Army.
The day before was a model called "Back Alley Fighter" made by a heart valve designer and his son. Concept.

Bertucci A-2T titanium for every day wear.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic when I have to be areound people who grade other people on the clothing and jewelry that they wear, the house that they live in, and the car that they drive.

Buck 442.

Rolex that my Dad left me and a Hubertus leverlock stag handle springer. A classic switchblade!

Citizen Eco Drive, and a cheap lock blade knife. I lose at least one knife a year. So I usually buy a knife for $20-25 for EDC from Wal-Mart, TSC, and such.

No watch and I carry the same case knife I've had for 66 years.

Armand Nicolet, Swiss mechanical automatic, complete calendar, moon phase. The back has a crystal, so you can see the works.



Pocket knife isn't anything special. Just a lightweight Gerber lockblade. Damned thing is amazing, though, since I bought it back in the early 1980s, been carrying it and using it nearly everyday since, occasionally resharpen it, and it's still 100% functional.

It's larger than it looks. That's actually a huge moth. The knife, folded, is 3.5" in length. At full expansion, that's about the wingspan of that moth, too. It's wingspan may be more than that, actually.

I have the very same knife and one in black. Did you get yours at a Big 5 Sporting Goods?

I could carry a Benchmade but the more I spend the faster I lose or break it. Counts the same for sunglasses and watches.
