I was perusing the Field & Stream site again, and came across an article concerning knives. It got me to wondering if/what type of knives our members carry in their tacklebag or aboard their boat. I have an old folding pocket knife buried somewhere in a tackle bag pocket, but it's not worth much as far as cutting anything. :roll: . What do you guys carry?

Here's the article:

Here's their featured knife in the article (nice, but pricey imo):

I keep a Gerber multitool around whenever I am fishing but I am normally carrying one of my dozen or so pocket knives as well. Gerber, Buck, Schrade, Frost, etc.
 
i also carry a gerber multi-tool. It saved my pole and reel from being destroyed and/or lost once. no joke! I wouldn't go without it.

This is one of my dad's designs. I carry this and Gerber multi-tool in my boat. I usually have a Buck 3 blade stockman in my pocket also. The saw blade on the Sog Seal Revolver is pretty dang handy when you get hung in a tree limb or whatever. I also carry one in my hunting pack for small limbs and works well on a deer sternum.

If your current knife is dull, buy a some sharpening equipment. I don't know what another dull knife will do for you.

I have a Leatherman multi-tool, a Swiss Army knife, plus a real sharp Shrade fixed-blade (8" I think), just don't carry them in my tackle bag. :wink:
 
Well for work I carry a SOG multi tool, and a folding craftsman utility knife. For fishing I just use generic needle nose pliers, and have a generic multi tool in the box. I have all kinds of knives laying around the house and in my truck, but I still have those moments when I wish I had one. I may just need to get myself an every day knife. I like that Kershaw Jim showed, nice and slim. I think it's time to go knife shopping. :mrgreen:
 
I carry a 8" fillet knife in a sheaf when I am fishing the salt and just needle nose pliers that can cut braided line for the fresh water stuff
 
I think I just found a great knife for work and home

i have a buck my wife got me 32 years ago in my pocket and always a gerber on the belt and both companies have stood behind what they sell iam happy with them both for hunting i have a g96 same as the buck knive
 
If I'm not at school or in a government building, I have a Smith and Wesson SWAT in my pocket.

Excellent knife, especially for the price (The sale price in the link is a great deal, usually around 45 or so, and even then it is an excellent deal). The grip on it actually fits a hand nicely. Fits nicely in a pocket. Excellent blade quality - I'm one of those guys who uses my pocket knife for everything from a screwdriver, to ROMEX wire stripper to carpet cutter.... .... and it will hold an edge exceptionally well.
 
It is very hard to beat the Gerber multitool. I carry one of these on the boat .... keep one on my workbench .... and have one in my backpack for hunting.
