I carry multiple knives but the ones that get carried the most are

And as soon as I get home from work, a smooth green bone case trapper in a little holster type sheath goes on my belt when I change clothes.

That there is a very hard knife to find, they did not make many. Think twice before letting it go.

I will second that. I have been on the lookout for one for awhile without success.

Wow, it's split almost right down the middle 9 said they used some type of what I call a taticool lock blade while 8 said slip joints. If I counted my slip joint it would be even.

Surprisingly, there is a large percentage that carry fixed blade's! I wonder if their location has something to do with that?

I have, and could carry a fixed blade, but by the time I strap a pistol on... it can get kinda crowded on the belt. I guess its more of weight and convenience thing. Clip the pistol on the belt,clip the knife in the pocket.

Who said anything about letting it go? wink

IMO GEC's can be a little over priced and sometimes over rated by their cult of followers but I do have a couple that I'd never part with.

The other one's a 73B&T.
GEC's folders steal the show but I think their fixed blade's are a real sleeper in the knife world.
Heck, most folks don't even know they make fixed blades.
BTW,,,, I only paid 68.00 for this one. A real value IMO. Especially if you like 1095 (like me:).

Oh I'm positive it regional.
Around here it's quite common to see someone walking around the store with a belt knife, especially this time of the year.

Course you probably don't see displays like this from the local Pepsi distributer in suburbia-mart either. grin

Coyote on point (grin)

I will occasionally see a holstered fixed blade. Here in suburbia I see a lot of guys with a knife clipped to their pocket. I sometimes wonder what those knives are used for? I can't see most of these guys getting one bloody but I may be totally wrong.

Usually carry a Spyderco Police or a BenchMade Mel Pardue folder.
Ifim in town, usually carrying one of my switchblades, now that it's legal in TX.
