I love seeing those old Christy's. I can only wonder how many years that little knife was somebodies companion?

Ever since getting back from our trip to California, my Christy has been in my pocket non stop. I've always leaned to the small to tiny pen knife, but I've noticed that at least 50% of the time I use my Christy, I do what has to be done with the blade at just the first stop. Like opening plastic blister packages, cutting a piece of jute twine that I use for a lot of things, opening mail. And all those Amazon packages that appear on our front porch.

Maybe about 25% I have the blade out to the second stop.

Its the rare cut that use the full blade, like occasionally food use on a sandwich cut in half, or slicing a pepper up to spice things up a bit.

Over the many years I've used a Christy knife, it seems a lesson in what I don't need for an EDC pocket knife.

Do many of you find that you only use the front half of the blade?

I would say that probably 90% of the time I only have it out to the first stop. (Need pics).

I'll give you €5 for it. It's more than twice its price.
