Yesterday, I carried a Klein Tools small coping knife. I forgot to post for that.   This evening, after college, I slipped the Case hawkbill electrician's knife in my pocket. 

Recycling last time's photo:

Case 62031 LHR (Camillus made) 4 Dot 1984 by cody6268, on Flickr

Hey!! That's a great working knife Cody!!!!  I have one and am glad to hear it's Camillus made...that's cool!!!

Day 3 for me  :)  ;)  :D

I'm carrying it in its slip too, kinda smoothed out the pocket a bit. I'm not sure if I like that or just knife. I guess I'll really know after these thirty which one I really prefer for this slippy.

That's a beauty for sure!!!!!   :cheers: :cheers:

Thanks SG! :cheers: By the way, I used your Ziploc bag trick the other day, it worked great! I only had to leave it outside for like a minute before it was equalized and I could use it without fogging up. So thanks again for the tip! :tu: Can't wait until fall though, I'm getting tired of this high heat, high humidity stuff.

Day 14

Here's the biggest knife in the challenge, my Bear and Bull (another Frost brand) dealer display knife with my Uncle Lucky for the size comparison. I carried the Uncle Lucky but I wanted to show off the beautiful display knife out side of it's shadow box and I managed to handle it this evening without cutting myself.

 :rofl:   :cheers: :cheers:

Where the hell have you guys been hiding all these great knives?  You do know there's a really old slipjoint thread that has been active for years, right?  :pok:

I love this thread.  :cheers:

Traditional for sure, but not quite a pocket knife I'd say. :D  Very cool thing to own though. 8)

I hide mine in a old 14x8x7 Kenedy 2 drawer tool box, top drawer for knives & deeper bottom drawer for boxes.
I thought this was mostly MT and SAK country. I need to sell off a few NIB old timers and make room for the new.

Good plan, but I'm only going to be here one night so not worth it. Will have to survive with just a Shard on my keys.

I wasn't being literal when I asked the question about where you're hiding them, but thanks for the pics anyway!  :D

I "hide" mine in a machinist's toolchest, BTW, along with many SAKs and other MTs.
